Juz 23

﴾٢٨﴿ And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so ﴾٢٩﴿ It indeed was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished ﴾٣٠﴿ How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him ﴾٣١﴿ Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return ﴾٣٢﴿ And verily, all of them will yet be brought present before Us

﴾٣٣﴿ And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat ﴾٣٤﴿ And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs ﴾٣٥﴿ That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful ﴾٣٦﴿ Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know ﴾٣٧﴿ And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it the light of day, so they are left in darkness ﴾٣٨﴿ And the sun runs on course toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing ﴾٣٩﴿ And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns appearing like the old date stalk ﴾٤٠﴿ It indeed is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming ﴾٤١﴿ And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship ﴾٤٢﴿ And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride ﴾٤٣﴿ And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved ﴾٤٤﴿ Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time ﴾٤٥﴿ But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy ﴾٤٦﴿ And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away ﴾٤٧﴿ And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error ﴾٤٨﴿ And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful ﴾٤٩﴿ And they do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing ﴾٥٠﴿ And they will not be able to give any instruction, nor to their people can they return

﴾٥١﴿ And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten ﴾٥٢﴿ They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" The reply will be, "This is what the Ever-Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth ﴾٥٣﴿ It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us ﴾٥٤﴿ Thus today no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do ﴾٥٥﴿ Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in joyful occupation ﴾٥٦﴿ And they and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches ﴾٥٧﴿ For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request or wish ﴾٥٨﴿ And "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord ﴾٥٩﴿ Then He will say, "But stand apart today, you criminals ﴾٦٠﴿ Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - for indeed, he is to you a clear enemy ﴾٦١﴿ And that you worship only Me? This is a straight path ﴾٦٢﴿ And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason ﴾٦٣﴿ This is the Hellfire which you were promised ﴾٦٤﴿ Enter to burn therein today for what you used to deny ﴾٦٥﴿ That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn ﴾٦٦﴿ And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to find the path, and how could they see ﴾٦٧﴿ And if We willed, We could have deformed them, paralyzing them in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return

﴾٦٨﴿ And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand ﴾٦٩﴿ And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an ﴾٧٠﴿ To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against those who disbelieve ﴾٧١﴿ Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have made, grazing livestock, and then they are their owners ﴾٧٢﴿ And We have tamed them for them, so some of them they ride, and some of them they eat ﴾٧٣﴿ And for them therein are other benefits and drinks, so will they not be grateful ﴾٧٤﴿ But they have taken besides Allah false deities that perhaps they would be helped ﴾٧٥﴿ They are not able to help them, and they themselves are for them soldiers in attendance ﴾٧٦﴿ Thus let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare ﴾٧٧﴿ Does man not consider that We created him from a mere sperm-drop - then at once he is a clear adversary ﴾٧٨﴿ And he presents for Us an example and forgets his own creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated ﴾٧٩﴿ Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing ﴾٨٠﴿ It is He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite ﴾٨١﴿ Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, it is so; and He is the Knowing Creator ﴾٨٢﴿ His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is ﴾٨٣﴿ Thus exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned

﴾١﴿ By those angels lined up in rows ﴾٢﴿ And those who drive the clouds ﴾٣﴿ And those who recite the message ﴾٤﴿ Indeed, your God is One ﴾٥﴿ Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises ﴾٦﴿ Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars ﴾٧﴿ And as protection against every rebellious devil ﴾٨﴿ So they may not listen to the exalted assembly of angels and are pelted from every side ﴾٩﴿ Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment ﴾١٠﴿ Except one who snatches some words by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing in brightness ﴾١١﴿ 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 ﴾١٢﴿ But you wonder, while they mock ﴾١٣﴿ And when they are reminded, they remember not ﴾١٤﴿ And when they see a sign, they ridicule ﴾١٥﴿ And say, "This is not but obvious magic ﴾١٦﴿ When we have died and become dust and bones, are we verily to be resurrected ﴾١٧﴿ And our forefathers as well ﴾١٨﴿ Say, "Yes, and you will be rendered contemptible ﴾١٩﴿ It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing ﴾٢٠﴿ And they will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense ﴾٢١﴿ They will be told, "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny

﴾٢٢﴿ The angels will be ordered, "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship ﴾٢٣﴿ Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire ﴾٢٤﴿ And stop them; verily, they are to be questioned ﴾٢٥﴿ They will be asked, "What is wrong with you? Why do you not help each other ﴾٢٦﴿ But they, that Day, are in surrender ﴾٢٧﴿ And they will approach one another blaming each other ﴾٢٨﴿ And they will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right ﴾٢٩﴿ The oppressors will say, "Rather, you yourselves were not believers ﴾٣٠﴿ And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people ﴾٣١﴿ So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste punishment ﴾٣٢﴿ And we led you to deviation; verily, we were deviators ﴾٣٣﴿ Thus verily they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment ﴾٣٤﴿ Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals ﴾٣٥﴿ Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant ﴾٣٦﴿ And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet ﴾٣٧﴿ Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the previous messengers ﴾٣٨﴿ Indeed, you disbelievers will be tasters of the painful punishment ﴾٣٩﴿ And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do ﴾٤٠﴿ But not the chosen servants of Allah ﴾٤١﴿ Those will have a provision determined ﴾٤٢﴿ Fruits; and they will be honored ﴾٤٣﴿ In gardens of pleasure ﴾٤٤﴿ On thrones facing one another ﴾٤٥﴿ There will be circulated among them a cup of wine from a flowing spring ﴾٤٦﴿ White and delicious to the drinkers ﴾٤٧﴿ No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated ﴾٤٨﴿ And with them will be women limiting their glances, with large, beautiful eyes ﴾٤٩﴿ As if they were delicate eggs, well-protected ﴾٥٠﴿ And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other ﴾٥١﴿ A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion on earth ﴾٥٢﴿ Who would say, 'Are you verily of those who believe ﴾٥٣﴿ That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will verily be recompensed ﴾٥٤﴿ He will say, "Would you care to look ﴾٥٥﴿ And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire ﴾٥٦﴿ And he will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me ﴾٥٧﴿ If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in to Hell ﴾٥٨﴿ Then, are we not to die ﴾٥٩﴿ Except for our first death, and we will not be punished ﴾٦٠﴿ Indeed, this is the great attainment ﴾٦١﴿ For the like of this let the workers on earth work ﴾٦٢﴿ Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum ﴾٦٣﴿ Indeed, We have made it a torment for those who do wrong ﴾٦٤﴿ Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire ﴾٦٥﴿ Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils ﴾٦٦﴿ And verily, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies ﴾٦٧﴿ Then verily, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water ﴾٦٨﴿ Then verily, their return will be to the Hellfire ﴾٦٩﴿ Indeed they found their fathers astray ﴾٧٠﴿ So they hastened to follow in their footsteps ﴾٧١﴿ And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples ﴾٧٢﴿ And We had already sent among them warners ﴾٧٣﴿ Then look how was the end of those who were warned ﴾٧٤﴿ But not the chosen servants of Allah

﴾٧٥﴿ And Noah had certainly called Us, and We are the best of responders ﴾٧٦﴿ And We saved him and his family from the great affliction ﴾٧٧﴿ And We made his descendants those remaining on the earth ﴾٧٨﴿ And left for him favorable mention among later generations ﴾٧٩﴿ Peace upon Noah among the worlds ﴾٨٠﴿ Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good ﴾٨١﴿ Indeed, he was of Our believing servants ﴾٨٢﴿ Then We drowned the disbelievers ﴾٨٣﴿ And verily, among his kind was Abraham ﴾٨٤﴿ When he came to his Lord with a sound heart ﴾٨٥﴿ And when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship ﴾٨٦﴿ Is it falsehood as gods other than Allah you desire ﴾٨٧﴿ Then what is your thought about Lord of all worlds ﴾٨٨﴿ And he cast a look at the stars ﴾٨٩﴿ And said, "Indeed, I am about to be ill ﴾٩٠﴿ Thus they turned away from him, departing ﴾٩١﴿ Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat ﴾٩٢﴿ What is wrong with you that you do not speak ﴾٩٣﴿ And he turned upon them a blow with his right hand ﴾٩٤﴿ Then the people came toward him, hastening ﴾٩٥﴿ He said, "Do you worship that which you yourselves carve ﴾٩٦﴿ While Allah created you and that which you do ﴾٩٧﴿ And they said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire ﴾٩٨﴿ And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased ﴾٩٩﴿ And then he said, "Indeed, I will go to where I am ordered by my Lord; He will guide me ﴾١٠٠﴿ My Lord, grant me a child from among the righteous ﴾١٠١﴿ Thus We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy ﴾١٠٢﴿ 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 ﴾١٠٣﴿ And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead ﴾١٠٤﴿ We called to him, "O Abraham ﴾١٠٥﴿ You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good ﴾١٠٦﴿ Indeed, this was the clear trial ﴾١٠٧﴿ And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice ﴾١٠٨﴿ And We left for him favorable mention among later generations ﴾١٠٩﴿ Peace upon Abraham ﴾١١٠﴿ Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good ﴾١١١﴿ Indeed, he was of Our believing servants ﴾١١٢﴿ And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous ﴾١١٣﴿ And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself

﴾١١٤﴿ And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron ﴾١١٥﴿ And We saved them and their people from the great affliction ﴾١١٦﴿ And We supported them so it was they who overcame ﴾١١٧﴿ And We gave them the explicit Scripture ﴾١١٨﴿ And We guided them on the straight path ﴾١١٩﴿ And We left for them favorable mention among later generations ﴾١٢٠﴿ Peace upon Moses and Aaron ﴾١٢١﴿ Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good ﴾١٢٢﴿ Indeed, they were of Our believing servants ﴾١٢٣﴿ And verily, Elias was from among the messengers ﴾١٢٤﴿ When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah ﴾١٢٥﴿ Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators ﴾١٢٦﴿ Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers ﴾١٢٧﴿ And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought for punishment ﴾١٢٨﴿ Except the chosen servants of Allah ﴾١٢٩﴿ And We left for him favorable mention among later generations ﴾١٣٠﴿ Peace upon Elias ﴾١٣١﴿ Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good ﴾١٣٢﴿ Indeed, he was of Our believing servants ﴾١٣٣﴿ And verily, Lot was among the messengers ﴾١٣٤﴿ So mention when We saved him and his family, all ﴾١٣٥﴿ Except his wife among those who remained with the evildoers ﴾١٣٦﴿ Then We destroyed the others ﴾١٣٧﴿ And verily, you pass by them in the morning ﴾١٣٨﴿ And at night. Then will you not use reason

﴾١٣٩﴿ And verily, Jonah was among the messengers ﴾١٤٠﴿ Mention when he ran away to the laden ship ﴾١٤١﴿ And he drew lots and was among the losers ﴾١٤٢﴿ Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy ﴾١٤٣﴿ And had he not been of those who exalt Allah ﴾١٤٤﴿ And he would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected ﴾١٤٥﴿ But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill ﴾١٤٦﴿ And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine ﴾١٤٧﴿ And We sent him to his people of a hundred thousand or more ﴾١٤٨﴿ And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment of life for a time ﴾١٤٩﴿ So inquire of them, O Muhammad, "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons ﴾١٥٠﴿ Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses ﴾١٥١﴿ Unquestionably, it is out of their invented falsehood that they say ﴾١٥٢﴿ Allah has begotten," and verily, they are liars ﴾١٥٣﴿ Has He chosen daughters over sons ﴾١٥٤﴿ What is wrong with you? How do you make judgement ﴾١٥٥﴿ Then will you not be reminded ﴾١٥٦﴿ Or do you have a clear authority ﴾١٥٧﴿ Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful ﴾١٥٨﴿ 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 ﴾١٥٩﴿ Exalted is Allah above what they describe ﴾١٦٠﴿ Except the chosen servants of Allah who do not share in that sin ﴾١٦١﴿ So indeed, you disbelievers and whatever you worship ﴾١٦٢﴿ You cannot tempt anyone away from Him ﴾١٦٣﴿ Except he who is to enter and burn in the Hellfire ﴾١٦٤﴿ The angels say, "There is not among us any except that he has a known position ﴾١٦٥﴿ And indeed, we are those who line up for prayer ﴾١٦٦﴿ And verily, we are those who exalt Allah ﴾١٦٧﴿ And verily, the disbelievers used to say ﴾١٦٨﴿ If we had a message from those of the former peoples ﴾١٦٩﴿ We would have been the chosen servants of Allah ﴾١٧٠﴿ But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know ﴾١٧١﴿ And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers ﴾١٧٢﴿ That indeed, they would be those given victory ﴾١٧٣﴿ And that indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome ﴾١٧٤﴿ So, O Muhammad, leave them for a time ﴾١٧٥﴿ And see what will befall them, for they are going to see ﴾١٧٦﴿ Then for Our punishment are they impatient ﴾١٧٧﴿ But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned ﴾١٧٨﴿ And leave them for a time ﴾١٧٩﴿ And see, for they are going to see ﴾١٨٠﴿ Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe ﴾١٨١﴿ And peace upon the messengers ﴾١٨٢﴿ And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds

﴾١﴿ Sad. By the Qur'an containing reminder ﴾٢﴿ But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension ﴾٣﴿ How many a generation have We destroyed before them, and they then called out; but it was not a time for escape ﴾٤﴿ And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves. And those who disbelieve say, "This is a magician and a liar ﴾٥﴿ Has he made the gods only one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing ﴾٦﴿ And the eminent among them went forth, saying, "Continue, and be patient over the defense of your gods. Indeed, this is a thing intended ﴾٧﴿ We have not heard of this in the latest religion. This is not but a fabrication ﴾٨﴿ Has the message been revealed to him out of all of us?" Rather, they are in doubt about My message. Rather, they have not yet tasted My punishment ﴾٩﴿ Or do they have the depositories of the mercy of your Lord, the All-Mighty, the Bestower ﴾١٠﴿ Or is theirs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then let them ascend through any ways of access ﴾١١﴿ They are but soldiers who will be defeated there among the companies of disbelievers ﴾١٢﴿ The people of Noah denied before them, and the tribe of 'Aad and Pharaoh, the owner of stakes ﴾١٣﴿ And the tribe of Thamud and the people of Lot and the companions of the thicket. Those are the companies ﴾١٤﴿ Each of them denied the messengers, so My penalty was justified

﴾١٥﴿ And these disbelievers await not but one blast of the Horn; for it there will be no delay ﴾١٦﴿ And they say, "Our Lord, hasten for us our share of the punishment before the Day of Account ﴾١٧﴿ Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back to Allah ﴾١٨﴿ Indeed, We subjected the mountains to praise with him, exalting Allah in the late afternoon and after sunrise ﴾١٩﴿ And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating praises ﴾٢٠﴿ And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech ﴾٢١﴿ And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of his prayer chamber ﴾٢٢﴿ When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. We are two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed it and guide us to the sound path ﴾٢٣﴿ Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech ﴾٢٤﴿ David said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing in prostration and turned in repentance to Allah ﴾٢٥﴿ Thus We forgave him that; and verily, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return ﴾٢٦﴿ We said, "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow your own desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account

﴾٢٧﴿ And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire ﴾٢٨﴿ Or should we treat those who believe and do good deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allah like the wicked ﴾٢٩﴿ This is a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, O Muhammad, that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded ﴾٣٠﴿ And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back to Allah ﴾٣١﴿ Mention when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised standing racehorses ﴾٣٢﴿ And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good things over the remembrance of my Lord until the sun disappeared into the curtain of darkness ﴾٣٣﴿ He said, "Return them to me," and set about striking their legs and necks ﴾٣٤﴿ And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned ﴾٣٥﴿ And he said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower ﴾٣٦﴿ Thus We subjected to him the wind blowing by his command, gently, wherever he directed ﴾٣٧﴿ And also the devils of jinn - every builder and diver ﴾٣٨﴿ And others bound together in shackles ﴾٣٩﴿ We said, "This is Our gift, so grant or withhold without account ﴾٤٠﴿ And verily, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return

﴾٤١﴿ And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment ﴾٤٢﴿ So he was told, "Strike the ground with your foot; this is a spring for a cool bath and drink ﴾٤٣﴿ And We granted him his family and a like number with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding ﴾٤٤﴿ We said, "And take in your hand a bunch of grass and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back to Allah ﴾٤٥﴿ And remember Our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - those of strength and religious vision ﴾٤٦﴿ Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality: remembrance of the home of the Hereafter ﴾٤٧﴿ And verily they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding ﴾٤٨﴿ And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding ﴾٤٩﴿ This is a reminder. And verily, for the righteous is a good place of return ﴾٥٠﴿ Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them ﴾٥١﴿ Reclining within them, they will call therein for abundant fruit and drink ﴾٥٢﴿ And with them will be women limiting their glances and of equal age ﴾٥٣﴿ This is what you, the righteous, are promised for the Day of Account ﴾٥٤﴿ Indeed, this is Our provision; for it there is no depletion ﴾٥٥﴿ This is so. But indeed, for the transgressors is an evil place of return ﴾٥٦﴿ Hell, which they will enter to burn, and wretched is the resting place ﴾٥٧﴿ This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and foul purulence ﴾٥٨﴿ And other punishments of its type in various kinds ﴾٥٩﴿ Its inhabitants will say, "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire ﴾٦٠﴿ They will say, "Nor you! No welcome for you. You, our leaders, brought this upon us, and wretched is the settlement ﴾٦١﴿ And they will say, "Our Lord, whoever brought this upon us - increase for him double punishment in the Fire ﴾٦٢﴿ And they will say, "Why do we not see men whom we used to count among the worst ﴾٦٣﴿ Is it because we took them in ridicule, or has our vision turned away from them ﴾٦٤﴿ Indeed, that is truth - the quarreling of the people of the Fire

﴾٦٥﴿ Say, O Muhammad, "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allah, the One, the Prevailing ﴾٦٦﴿ Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the All-Mighty, the Perpetual Forgiver ﴾٦٧﴿ Say, "It is great news ﴾٦٨﴿ From which you turn away ﴾٦٩﴿ I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly of angels when they were disputing the creation of Adam ﴾٧٠﴿ It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner ﴾٧١﴿ So mention when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay ﴾٧٢﴿ So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My created soul, then fall down to him in prostration ﴾٧٣﴿ Thus the angels prostrated - all of them entirely ﴾٧٤﴿ Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among those who disbelieve ﴾٧٥﴿ Allah said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant then, or were you already among the haughty ﴾٧٦﴿ And he said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay ﴾٧٧﴿ Allah said, "Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled ﴾٧٨﴿ And verily, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense ﴾٧٩﴿ And he said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected ﴾٨٠﴿ Allah said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved ﴾٨١﴿ Until the Day of the time well-known ﴾٨٢﴿ Iblees said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all ﴾٨٣﴿ Except, among them, Your chosen servants ﴾٨٤﴿ Allah said, "The truth is My oath, and the truth I say ﴾٨٥﴿ That I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together ﴾٨٦﴿ Say, O Muhammad, "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious ﴾٨٧﴿ It indeed is but a reminder to the worlds ﴾٨٨﴿ And you will surely know the truth of its information after a time

﴾١﴿ The revelation of the Qur'an is from Allah, the All-Mighty, the Wise ﴾٢﴿ Indeed, We have sent down to you the Book, O Muhammad, in truth. So worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion ﴾٣﴿ Unquestionably, for Allah is the pure religion. And those who take protectors besides Him say, "We only worship them that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." Indeed, Allah will judge between them concerning that over which they differ. Indeed, Allah does not guide he who is a liar and confirmed disbeliever ﴾٤﴿ If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen from what He creates whatever He willed. Exalted is He; He is Allah, the One, the Prevailing ﴾٥﴿ He created the heavens and earth in truth. He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night and has subjected the sun and the moon, each running its course for a specified term. Unquestionably, He is the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver ﴾٦﴿ And he created you from one soul. Then He made from it its mate, and He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation, within three darknesses. That is Allah, your Lord; to Him belongs dominion. There is no deity except Him, so how are you averted ﴾٧﴿ If you disbelieve - verily, Allah is Free from need of you. And He does not approve for His servants disbelief. And if you are grateful, He approves it for you; and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you about what you used to do. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts ﴾٨﴿ And when adversity touches man, he calls upon his Lord, turning to Him alone; then when He bestows on him a favor from Himself, he forgets Him whom he called upon before, and he attributes to Allah equals to mislead people from His way. Say, "Enjoy your disbelief for a little; indeed, you are of the companions of the Fire ﴾٩﴿ Is one who is devoutly obedient during periods of the night, prostrating and standing in prayer, fearing the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, like one who does not? Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" Only they will remember who are people of understanding

﴾١٠﴿ Say, "O My servants who believe, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without limit ﴾١١﴿ Say, O Muhammad, "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allah, being sincere to Him in religion ﴾١٢﴿ And I have been commanded to be the first among you of the Muslims ﴾١٣﴿ Say, "Indeed I fear, if I should disobey my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day ﴾١٤﴿ Say, "Allah alone do I worship, sincere to Him in my religion ﴾١٥﴿ Thus worship what you will besides Him." Say, "Indeed, the losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, that is the manifest loss ﴾١٦﴿ And they will have canopies of fire above them and below them, canopies. By that Allah threatens His servants. O My servants, then fear Me ﴾١٧﴿ But those who have avoided Taghut, lest they worship it, and turned back to Allah - for them are good tidings. Thus give good tidings to My servants ﴾١٨﴿ Who listen to speech and follow the best of it. Those are the ones Allah has guided, and those are people of understanding ﴾١٩﴿ Then, is one who has deserved the decree of punishment to be guided? Then, can you save one who is in the Fire ﴾٢٠﴿ But those who have feared their Lord - for them are chambers, above them chambers built high, beneath which rivers flow. This is the promise of Allah. Allah does not fail in His promise ﴾٢١﴿ Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs and rivers in the earth; then He produces thereby crops of varying colors; then they dry and you see them turned yellow; then He makes them scattered debris. Indeed in that is a reminder for those of understanding

﴾٢٢﴿ So is one whose breast Allah has expanded to accept Islam and he is upon a light from his Lord like one whose heart rejects it? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allah. Those are in manifest error ﴾٢٣﴿ Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills.
