verse 1
By those who set the ranks in battle order
thoughts
verse 2
And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
thoughts
verse 3
And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
thoughts
verse 4
Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
thoughts
verse 5
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun’s risings.
thoughts
verse 6
Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;
thoughts
verse 7
With security from every froward devil.
thoughts
verse 8
They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,
thoughts
verse 9
Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
thoughts
verse 10
Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.
thoughts
verse 11
Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
thoughts
verse 12
Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
thoughts
verse 13
And heed not when they are reminded,
thoughts
verse 14
And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
thoughts
verse 15
And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;
thoughts
verse 16
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again)?
thoughts
verse 17
And our forefathers?
thoughts
verse 18
Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.
thoughts
verse 19
There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,
thoughts
verse 20
And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.
thoughts
verse 21
This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.
thoughts
verse 22
(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship
thoughts
verse 23
Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
thoughts
verse 24
And stop them, for they must be questioned.
thoughts
verse 25
What aileth you that ye help not one another?
thoughts
verse 26
Nay, but this day they make full submission.
thoughts
verse 27
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
thoughts
verse 28
They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).
thoughts
verse 29
They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.
thoughts
verse 30
We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.
thoughts
verse 31
Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
thoughts
verse 32
Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.
thoughts
verse 33
Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.
thoughts
verse 34
Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
thoughts
verse 35
For when it was said unto them, There is no Allah save Allah, they were scornful
thoughts
verse 36
And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet?
thoughts
verse 37
Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).
thoughts
verse 38
Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -
thoughts
verse 39
Ye are requited naught save what ye did -
thoughts
verse 40
Save single-minded slaves of Allah;
thoughts
verse 41
For them there is a known provision,
thoughts
verse 42
Fruits. And they will be honoured
thoughts
verse 43
In the Gardens of delight,
thoughts
verse 44
On couches facing one another;
thoughts
verse 45
A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,
thoughts
verse 46
White, delicious to the drinkers,
thoughts
verse 47
Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.
thoughts
verse 48
And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,
thoughts
verse 49
(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).
thoughts
verse 50
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
thoughts
verse 51
A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
thoughts
verse 52
Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?
thoughts
verse 53
Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book?
thoughts
verse 54
He saith: Will ye look?
thoughts
verse 55
Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.
thoughts
verse 56
He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
thoughts
verse 57
And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
thoughts
verse 58
Are we then not to die
thoughts
verse 59
Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished?
thoughts
verse 60
Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
thoughts
verse 61
For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
thoughts
verse 62
Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum?
thoughts
verse 63
Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong-doers.
thoughts
verse 64
Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
thoughts
verse 65
Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
thoughts
verse 66
And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
thoughts
verse 67
And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
thoughts
verse 68
And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
thoughts
verse 69
They indeed found their fathers astray,
thoughts
verse 70
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
thoughts
verse 71
And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
thoughts
verse 72
And verily We sent among them warners.
thoughts
verse 73
Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
thoughts
verse 74
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
thoughts
verse 75
And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
thoughts
verse 76
And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
thoughts
verse 77
And made his seed the survivors,
thoughts
verse 78
And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
thoughts
verse 79
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
thoughts
verse 80
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
thoughts
verse 81
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
thoughts
verse 82
Then We did drown the others.
thoughts
verse 83
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
thoughts
verse 84
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
thoughts
verse 85
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship?
thoughts
verse 86
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire?
thoughts
verse 87
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds?
thoughts
verse 88
And he glanced a glance at the stars
thoughts
verse 89
Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
thoughts
verse 90
And they turned their backs and went away from him.
thoughts
verse 91
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat?
thoughts
verse 92
What aileth you that ye speak not?
thoughts
verse 93
Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
thoughts
verse 94
And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
thoughts
verse 95
He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
thoughts
verse 96
When Allah hath created you and what ye make?
thoughts
verse 97
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red-hotfire.
thoughts
verse 98
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
thoughts
verse 99
And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
thoughts
verse 100
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
thoughts
verse 101
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
thoughts
verse 102
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
thoughts
verse 103
Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
thoughts
verse 104
We called unto him: O Abraham!
thoughts
verse 105
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
thoughts
verse 106
Lo! that verily was a clear test.
thoughts
verse 107
Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
thoughts
verse 108
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
thoughts
verse 109
Peace be unto Abraham!
thoughts
verse 110
Thus do We reward the good.
thoughts
verse 111
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
thoughts
verse 112
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
thoughts
verse 113
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
thoughts
verse 114
And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
thoughts
verse 115
And saved them and their people from the great distress,
thoughts
verse 116
And helped them so that they became the victors.
thoughts
verse 117
And We gave them the clear Scripture
thoughts
verse 118
And showed them the right path.
thoughts
verse 119
And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
thoughts
verse 120
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
thoughts
verse 121
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
thoughts
verse 122
Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
thoughts
verse 123
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
thoughts
verse 124
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil)?
thoughts
verse 125
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
thoughts
verse 126
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers?
thoughts
verse 127
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
thoughts
verse 128
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
thoughts
verse 129
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
thoughts
verse 130
Peace be unto Elias!
thoughts
verse 131
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
thoughts
verse 132
Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
thoughts
verse 133
And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
thoughts
verse 134
When We saved him and his household, every one,
thoughts
verse 135
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
thoughts
verse 136
Then We destroyed the others.
thoughts
verse 137
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
thoughts
verse 138
And at night-time; have ye then no sense?
thoughts
verse 139
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
thoughts
verse 140
When he fled unto the laden ship,
thoughts
verse 141
And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
thoughts
verse 142
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
thoughts
verse 143
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
thoughts
verse 144
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
thoughts
verse 145
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
thoughts
verse 146
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
thoughts
verse 147
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
thoughts
verse 148
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
thoughts
verse 149
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons?
thoughts
verse 150
Or created We the angels females while they were present?
thoughts
verse 151
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
thoughts
verse 152
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
thoughts
verse 153
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
thoughts
verse 154
What aileth you? How judge ye?
thoughts
verse 155
Will ye not then reflect?
thoughts
verse 156
Or have ye a clear warrant?
thoughts
verse 157
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
thoughts
verse 158
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
thoughts
verse 159
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
thoughts
verse 160
Save single-minded slaves of Allah.
thoughts
verse 161
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
thoughts
verse 162
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
thoughts
verse 163
Save him who is to burn in hell.
thoughts
verse 164
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
thoughts
verse 165
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
thoughts
verse 166
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
thoughts
verse 167
And indeed they used to say:
thoughts
verse 168
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
thoughts
verse 169
We would be single-minded slaves of Allah.
thoughts
verse 170
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
thoughts
verse 171
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
thoughts
verse 172
That they verily would be helped,
thoughts
verse 173
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
thoughts
verse 174
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
thoughts
verse 175
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
thoughts
verse 176
Would they hasten on Our doom?
thoughts
verse 177
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
thoughts
verse 178
Withdraw from them awhile
thoughts
verse 179
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
thoughts
verse 180
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
thoughts
verse 181
And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
thoughts
verse 182
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
