1. By those who range themselves in ranks, | |
2. And so are strong in repelling (evil), | |
3. And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)! | |
4. Verily, verily, your Allah is one!- | |
5. Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun! | |
6. We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,- | |
7. (For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits, | |
8. (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side, | |
9. Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty, | |
10. Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness. | |
11. Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay! | |
12. Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule, | |
13. And, when they are admonished, pay no heed,- | |
14. And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery, | |
15. And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery! | |
16. "What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again) | |
17. "And also our fathers of old?" | |
18. Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)." | |
19. Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see! | |
20. They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!" | |
21. (A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!" | |
22. "Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong-doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped- | |
23. "Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire! | |
24. "But stop them, for they must be asked: | |
25. "'What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?'" | |
26. Nay, but that day they shall submit (to Judgment); | |
27. And they will turn to one another, and question one another. | |
28. They will say: "It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and authority)!" | |
29. They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith! | |
30. "Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion! | |
31. "So now has been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have to) taste (the punishment of our sins). | |
32. "We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray." | |
33. Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty. | |
34. Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners. | |
35. For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride, | |
36. And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?" | |
37. Nay! he has come with the (very) Truth, and he confirms (the Message of) the messengers (before him). | |
38. Ye shall indeed taste of the Grievous Penalty;- | |
39. But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought;- | |
40. But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah,- | |
41. For them is a Sustenance determined, | |
42. Fruits (Delights); and they (shall enjoy) honour and dignity, | |
43. In Gardens of Felicity, | |
44. Facing each other on Thrones (of Dignity): | |
45. Round will be passed to them a Cup from a clear-flowing fountain, | |
46. Crystal-white, of a taste delicious to those who drink (thereof), | |
47. Free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom. | |
48. And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty). | |
49. As if they were (delicate) eggs closely guarded. | |
50. Then they will turn to one another and question one another. | |
51. One of them will start the talk and say: "I had an intimate companion (on the earth), | |
52. "Who used to say, 'what! art thou amongst those who bear witness to the Truth (of the Message)? | |
53. "'When we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed receive rewards and punishments?'" | |
54. (A voice) said: "Would ye like to look down?" | |
55. He looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire. | |
56. He said: "By Allah! thou wast little short of bringing me to perdition! | |
57. "Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those brought (there)! | |
58. "Is it (the case) that we shall not die, | |
59. "Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?" | |
60. Verily this is the supreme achievement! | |
61. For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive. | |
62. Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum? | |
63. For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong-doers. | |
64. For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire: | |
65. The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils: | |
66. Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith. | |
67. Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water. | |
68. Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire. | |
69. Truly they found their fathers on the wrong Path; | |
70. So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps! | |
71. And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray;- | |
72. But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them;- | |
73. Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not),- | |
74. Except the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah. | |
75. (In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer. | |
76. And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity, | |
77. And made his progeny to endure (on this earth); | |
78. And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times: | |
79. "Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!" | |
80. Thus indeed do we reward those who do right. | |
81. For he was one of our believing Servants. | |
82. Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood. | |
83. Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham. | |
84. Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart. | |
85. Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship? | |
86. "Is it a falsehood- gods other than Allah- that ye desire? | |
87. "Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?" | |
88. Then did he cast a glance at the Stars. | |
89. And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!" | |
90. So they turned away from him, and departed. | |
91. Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?... | |
92. "What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?" | |
93. Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand. | |
94. Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him). | |
95. He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved? | |
96. "But Allah has created you and your handwork!" | |
97. They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!" | |
98. (This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated! | |
99. He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me! | |
100. "O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!" | |
101. So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear. | |
102. Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!" | |
103. So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice), | |
104. We called out to him "O Abraham! | |
105. "Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right. | |
106. For this was obviously a trial- | |
107. And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice: | |
108. And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times: | |
109. "Peace and salutation to Abraham!" | |
110. Thus indeed do We reward those who do right. | |
111. For he was one of our believing Servants. | |
112. And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet,- one of the Righteous. | |
113. We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls. | |
114. Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron, | |
115. And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity; | |
116. And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles); | |
117. And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear; | |
118. And We guided them to the Straight Way. | |
119. And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times: | |
120. "Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!" | |
121. Thus indeed do We reward those who do right. | |
122. For they were two of our believing Servants. | |
123. So also was Elias among those sent (by Us). | |
124. Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)? | |
125. "Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators,- | |
126. "Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?" | |
127. But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment),- | |
128. Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them). | |
129. And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times: | |
130. "Peace and salutation to such as Elias!" | |
131. Thus indeed do We reward those who do right. | |
132. For he was one of our believing Servants. | |
133. So also was Lut among those sent (by Us). | |
134. Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all | |
135. Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind: | |
136. Then We destroyed the rest. | |
137. Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day- | |
138. And by night: will ye not understand? | |
139. So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us). | |
140. When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden, | |
141. He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned: | |
142. Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. | |
143. Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, | |
144. He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. | |
145. But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness, | |
146. And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind. | |
147. And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more. | |
148. And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. | |
149. Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons?- | |
150. Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)? | |
151. Is it not that they say, from their own invention, | |
152. "Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars! | |
153. Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons? | |
154. What is the matter with you? How judge ye? | |
155. Will ye not then receive admonition? | |
156. Or have ye an authority manifest? | |
157. Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful! | |
158. And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment-Seat)! | |
159. Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)! | |
160. Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted. | |
161. For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship- | |
162. Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah, | |
163. Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire! | |
164. (Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed; | |
165. "And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service); | |
166. "And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!" | |
167. And there were those who said, | |
168. "If only we had had before us a Message from those of old, | |
169. "We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!" | |
170. But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know! | |
171. Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us), | |
172. That they would certainly be assisted, | |
173. And that Our forces,- they surely must conquer. | |
174. So turn thou away from them for a little while, | |
175. And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)! | |
176. Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment? | |
177. But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)! | |
178. So turn thou away from them for a little while, | |
179. And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)! | |
180. Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)! | |
181. And Peace on the messengers! | |
182. And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds. |
