By those [angels] lined up in row
And those who drive [the clouds]
And those who recite the message
Indeed, your God is One
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of star
And as protection against every rebellious devi
[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side
Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment
Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]
Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay
But you wonder, while they mock
And when they are reminded, they remember not
And when they see a sign, they ridicul
And say, "This is not but obvious magic
When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected
And our forefathers [as well]?"
Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing
They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
Other than Allah , and guide them to the path of Hellfir
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."
[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"
But they, that Day, are in surrender
And they will approach one another blaming each other
They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."
The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people
So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]
And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."
So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment
Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah ," were arrogan
And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do
But not the chosen servants of Allah
Those will have a provision determined
Fruits; and they will be honored
In gardens of pleasur
On thrones facing one another
There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring
White and delicious to the drinkers
No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated
And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes
As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected
And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other
A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe
That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"
He will say, "Would you [care to] look?"
And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire
He will say, "By Allah , you almost ruined me
If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]
Then, are we not to di
Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"
Indeed, this is the great attainment
For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work
Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum
Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers
Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire
Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils
And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies
Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water
Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire
Indeed they found their fathers astray
So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples
And We had already sent among them warners
Then look how was the end of those who were warned
But not the chosen servants of Allah
And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders
And We saved him and his family from the great affliction
And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]
And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
"Peace upon Noah among the worlds."
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
Then We drowned the disbelievers
And indeed, among his kind was Abraham
When he came to his Lord with a sound hear
[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship
Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire
Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds?"
And he cast a look at the star
And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill."
So they turned away from him, departing
Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat
What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak?"
And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand
Then the people came toward him, hastening
He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve
While Allah created you and that which you do?"
They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire."
And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased
And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."
So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy
And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."
And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead
We called to him, "O Abraham
You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Indeed, this was the clear trial
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
"Peace upon Abraham."
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself
And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron
And We saved them and their people from the great affliction
And We supported them so it was they who overcame
And We gave them the explicit Scripture
And We guided them on the straight path
And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations
"Peace upon Moses and Aaron."
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Indeed, they were of Our believing servants
And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers
When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah
Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators
Allah , your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment]
Except the chosen servants of Allah
And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations
"Peace upon Elias."
Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
And indeed, Lot was among the messengers
[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all
Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]
Then We destroyed the others
And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
And at night. Then will you not use reason
And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers
[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship
And he drew lots and was among the losers
Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah
He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill
And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine
And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more
And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time
So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say
" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars
Has He chosen daughters over sons
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement
Then will you not be reminded
Or do you have a clear authority
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful
And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment]
Exalted is Allah above what they describe
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Hi
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah ."
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah ."
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers
[That] indeed, they would be those given victor
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see
Then for Our punishment are they impatient
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned
And leave them for a time
And see, for they are going to see
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe
And peace upon the messengers
And praise to Allah , Lord of the worlds
