By the columns in formation
By the drivers of clouds
By the remembrance which follows
Your god is indeed One
The Lord of the heavens and the Earth, and what lies between them, and Lord of the easts
We have adorned this universe with the decoration of planets
And to guard against every rebellious devil
They cannot listen to the command up high; and they are bombarded from every side
Outcasts; they will have an eternal retribution
Any of them who snatches something away, he is pursued by a piercing flame
So ask them: "Are they the more powerful creation, or the others We created" We have created them from sticky mud
While you were awed, they simply mocked
And when they are reminded, they do not care
And when they see a sign, they make fun of it
And they said: "This is nothing but evident magic!"
"Can it be that after we die and become dust and bones, that we are resurrected"
"What about our fathers of old"
Say: "Yes, and then you will be humiliated."
All it takes is one sound, then they will be staring
And they said: "Woe to us, this is the Day of Judgment!"
This is the Day of decisiveness that you used to deny
Gather the transgressors, and their mates, and all they worshiped
Beside God, and guide them to the path of Hell
And let them stand and be questioned
"Why do you not support one another"
No, for today they have totally given up
And some of them came to each other, questioning
They said: "You used to entice us from the right side."
They replied: "No, it was you who were not believers."
"And we never had any power over you, but you were a wicked people."
"So our Lord's decree is now upon us, that we will suffer."
"We misled you, because we were astray."
Then, on that Day they will all share in the retribution
This is how We deal with the criminals
When it was said to them: "There is no god except God," they would be arrogant
And they would Say: "Shall we leave our gods because of a crazy poet"
No, he has come with the truth and he has confirmed the messengers
You will taste the greatest of retribution
And you are only recompensed for what you have done
Except for God's servants who are faithful
For them will be known provisions
Fruits, and they will be honoured
In the gardens of bliss
On furnishings which are opposite one another
They will be served with cups of pure drinks
Clear and tasty for the drinkers
There is no bitterness therein, nor will they tire from it
And with them are attendants with wide eyes and a splendid look
They are like fragile eggs
So then they approached one another, questioning
One of them said: "I used to have a friend."
"Who use to Say: "Are you among those who believe in this"
"That if we die and turn into dust and bones, that we would be called to account""
He said: "Can anyone find him"
So when he looked, he saw him in the midst of Hell
He said: "By God, you nearly ruined me!"
"And had it not been for my Lord's blessing, I would have been with you."
"Are we then not going to die,"
"Except for our first death, and we will not be punished"
Such is the greatest triumph
For this let those who will strive work
Is that a better destination, or the tree of Bitternes
We have made it a punishment for the transgressors
It is a tree that grows in the midst of Hell
Its shoots are like the devils' heads
They will eat from it, so that their bellies are filled up
Then they will have with it a drink of boiling liquid
Then they will be returned to Hell
They had found their parents astray
So they too have hastened in their footsteps
Most of the previous generations have strayed before them
And We had sent to them warners
Thus note the consequences for those who were warned
Except for God's servants who are faithful
And Noah had called upon Us, for We are the best to respond
And We saved him and his family from the great disaster
And We made his progeny the one that remained
And We kept his history for those who came later
Peace be upon Noah among the worlds
It is such that We reward the righteous
He is of Our believing servants
Then We drowned the others
And from among his descendants was Abraham
For he came to his Lord with a pure heart
When he said to his father and his people: "What are you worshiping"
"Is it fabricated gods, instead of God, that you want"
"What do you say of the Lord of the worlds"
Then he looked towards the stars
And he said: "I am ill!"
So they turned away from him and departed
He then went to their idols and said: "Can you not eat"
"What is the matter, you do not speak"
So he then turned on them, striking with his hand
Then they approached him outraged
He said: "Do you worship what you carve"
"While God has created you, and all that you make!"
They said: "Build for him a structure, and then throw him into its fire."
So they wanted to harm him, but We made them the losers
And he said: "I am going to my Lord; He will guide me."
"My Lord, grant me from among the righteous."
So We gave him good news of a compassionate child
And when he grew enough to work with him, he said: "My son, I am seeing in a dream that I am sacrificing you. What do you think" He said: "O my father, do what you are commanded to do. You will find me, God willing, patient."
So when they both had surrendered, and he put his forehead down
And We called him: "O Abraham,"
"You have believed the vision." It was such that We rewarded the righteous
Surely, this was an exacting test
And We ransomed him with a great animal sacrifice
And We kept his history for those who came later
Peace be upon Abraham
It is thus that We reward the righteous
He was of Our believing servants
And We gave him the good news of the coming of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous
And We blessed him and Isaac. And from among their progeny, some are righteous, and some are clearly wicked
And indeed, We have given Our grace to Moses and Aaron
And We saved them and their people from the great disaster
And We supported them, so that they became the winners
And We gave both the clear Scripture
And We guided them to the straight path
And We kept their history for those who came later
Peace be upon Moses and Aaron
We thus reward the righteous
Both of them were among Our believing servants
And Elias was one of the messengers
When he said to his people: "Would you not be righteous"
"Would you call on Ba'al and forsake the best Creator"
"God is your Lord, and the Lord of your fathers of old!"
But they denied him. Thus they were called to account
Except for God's devoted servants
And We kept his history for those who came later
Peace be upon the family of Elias
We thus reward the righteous
He was one of our believing servants
And Lot was one of the messengers
When We saved him and all his family
Except an old woman who remained
Then, We destroyed the rest
And you pass by their ruins in the morning
And in the night. Do you not understan
And Jonah was one of the messengers
When he escaped to the charged ship
And he was guilty, so he became among the losers
Thus a whale swallowed him, and he was the one to blame
And had it not been that he was one of those who implored
He would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection
So We threw him on the shore while he was sick
And We caused seaweed to grow on him
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a time
So ask them: "Are the daughters for your Lord, while the sons are for them"
Or did We create the Angels as females while they witnesse
Indeed, it is out of their falsehood that they Say
"The son of God." And they are liars
Has He chosen the daughters over the son
What is wrong with you, how do you judg
Will you not remembe
Or do you have a clear proo
Bring forth your scripture, if you are truthful
And they invented a kinship between Him and the Jinn. But the Jinn know that they will be gathered
God be glorified from what they describe
Except for God's servants who are faithful
As for you and what you worship
You cannot lead away from Him
Except those who are destined to Hell
Every one of us has a destined place
And we are the ones who are in columns
And we are the ones that glorify
And they used to Say
"If only we had received a reminder from the previous generations,"
"We would have surely been God's loyal servants."
But they rejected it. They will come to know
Our word had been decreed to Our servants who were sent
That they would be made victorious
And that Our soldiers are the winners
So turn away from them for awhile
And observe them; for they will see
Do they seek to hasten Our retributio
Then, when it descends into their courtyard, evil will be the morning, for they have already been warned
And turn away from them for awhile
And observe; for they will see
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of greatness, for what they have described
And peace be upon the messengers
And praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
