|
1. |
I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
|
|
2. |
Then those who drive away with reproof,
|
|
3. |
Then those who recite, being mindful,
|
|
4. |
Most surely your God is One:
|
|
5. |
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
|
|
6. |
Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,
|
|
7. |
And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
|
|
8. |
They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
|
|
9. |
Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
|
|
10. |
Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
|
|
11. |
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
|
|
12. |
Nay! you wonder while they mock,
|
|
13. |
And when they are reminded, they mind not,
|
|
14. |
And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,
|
|
15. |
And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
|
|
16. |
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,
|
|
17. |
Or our fathers of yore?
|
|
18. |
Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
|
|
19. |
So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.
|
|
20. |
And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.
|
|
21. |
This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
|
|
22. |
Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship
|
|
23. |
Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
|
|
24. |
And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
|
|
25. |
What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?
|
|
26. |
Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
|
|
27. |
And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.
|
|
28. |
They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
|
|
29. |
They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;
|
|
30. |
And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;
|
|
31. |
So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;
|
|
32. |
So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
|
|
33. |
So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.
|
|
34. |
Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.
|
|
35. |
Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;
|
|
36. |
And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?
|
|
37. |
Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.
|
|
38. |
Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.
|
|
39. |
And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
|
|
40. |
Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
41. |
For them is a known sustenance,
|
|
42. |
Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,
|
|
43. |
In gardens of pleasure,
|
|
44. |
On thrones, facing each other.
|
|
45. |
A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,
|
|
46. |
White, delicious to those who drink.
|
|
47. |
There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.
|
|
48. |
And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;
|
|
49. |
As if they were eggs carefully protected.
|
|
50. |
Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.
|
|
51. |
A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,
|
|
52. |
Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?
|
|
53. |
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?
|
|
54. |
He shall say: Will you look on?
|
|
55. |
Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.
|
|
56. |
He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;
|
|
57. |
And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.
|
|
58. |
Is it then that we are not going to die,
|
|
59. |
Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?
|
|
60. |
Most surely this is the mighty achievement.
|
|
61. |
For the like of this then let the workers work.
|
|
62. |
Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?
|
|
63. |
Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.
|
|
64. |
Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of the hell;
|
|
65. |
Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.
|
|
66. |
Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.
|
|
67. |
Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.
|
|
68. |
Then most surely their return shall be to hell.
|
|
69. |
Surely they found their fathers going astray,
|
|
70. |
So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.
|
|
71. |
And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,
|
|
72. |
And certainly We sent among them warners.
|
|
73. |
Then see how was the end of those warned,
|
|
74. |
Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
75. |
And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.
|
|
76. |
And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress.
|
|
77. |
And We made his offspring the survivors.
|
|
78. |
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
|
|
79. |
Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.
|
|
80. |
Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.
|
|
81. |
Surely he was of Our believing servants.
|
|
82. |
Then We drowned the others
|
|
83. |
And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.
|
|
84. |
When he came to his Lord with a free heart,
|
|
85. |
When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship?
|
|
86. |
A lie-- gods besides Allah-- do you desire?
|
|
87. |
What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?
|
|
88. |
Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,
|
|
89. |
Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these).
|
|
90. |
So they went away from him, turning back.
|
|
91. |
Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat?
|
|
92. |
What is the matter with you that you do not speak?
|
|
93. |
Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand.
|
|
94. |
So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.
|
|
95. |
Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?
|
|
96. |
And Allah has created you and what you make.
|
|
97. |
They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.
|
|
98. |
And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.
|
|
99. |
And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.
|
|
100. |
My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
|
|
101. |
So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.
|
|
102. |
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
|
|
103. |
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
|
|
104. |
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
|
|
105. |
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
|
|
106. |
Most surely this is a manifest trial.
|
|
107. |
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
|
|
108. |
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations
|
|
109. |
Peace be on Ibrahim.
|
|
110. |
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
|
|
111. |
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
|
|
112. |
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
|
|
113. |
And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
|
|
114. |
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
|
|
115. |
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
|
|
116. |
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
|
|
117. |
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
|
|
118. |
And We guided them both on the right way.
|
|
119. |
And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
|
|
120. |
Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
|
|
121. |
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
|
|
122. |
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
|
|
123. |
And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
|
|
124. |
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
|
|
125. |
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
|
|
126. |
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
|
|
127. |
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
|
|
128. |
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
129. |
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
|
|
130. |
Peace be on Ilyas.
|
|
131. |
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
|
|
132. |
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
|
|
133. |
And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
|
|
134. |
When We delivered him and his followers, all--
|
|
135. |
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
|
|
136. |
Then We destroyed the others.
|
|
137. |
And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
|
|
138. |
And at night; do you not then understand?
|
|
139. |
And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
|
|
140. |
When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
|
|
141. |
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
|
|
142. |
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
|
|
143. |
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
|
|
144. |
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised
|
|
145. |
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
|
|
146. |
And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
|
|
147. |
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
|
|
148. |
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
|
|
149. |
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
|
|
150. |
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
|
|
151. |
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
|
|
152. |
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
|
|
153. |
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
|
|
154. |
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
|
|
155. |
Will you not then mind?
|
|
156. |
Or have you a clear authority?
|
|
157. |
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
|
|
158. |
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
|
|
159. |
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
|
|
160. |
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
|
|
161. |
So surely you and what you worship,
|
|
162. |
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
|
|
163. |
Save him who will go to hell.
|
|
164. |
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
|
|
165. |
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
|
|
166. |
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
|
|
167. |
And surely they used to say:
|
|
168. |
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
|
|
169. |
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah-- the purified ones.
|
|
170. |
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
|
|
171. |
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
|
|
172. |
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
|
|
173. |
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
|
|
174. |
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
|
|
175. |
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
|
|
176. |
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
|
|
177. |
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
|
|
178. |
And turn away from them till a time
|
|
179. |
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
|
|
180. |
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
|
|
181. |
And peace be on the apostles.
|
|
182. |
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
|
