| 2 | ( This is ) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the Worlds. | ||
| 3 | Or do they say " He has forged it "? Nay it is the Truth from the Lord that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance. | ||
| 4 | It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six Days and is firmly established on the Throne ( of authority ): ye have none besides Him to protect or intercede ( for you ): will ye not then receive admonition?. | ||
| 5 | He rules ( all ) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will ( all affairs ) go up to Him on a Day the space whereof will be ( as ) a thousand years of your reckoning. | ||
| 6 | Such as He the knower of all things hidden and open the Exalted ( in power ) the Merciful; | ||
| 7 | He Who has made everything which He has created most Good. He began the creation of man with ( nothing more than ) clay. | ||
| 8 | And made his progeny from a quintessence of the nature of a fluid despised: | ||
| 9 | But He fashioned him in due proportion and breathed into him something of His spirit. And He gave you ( the faculties of ) hearing and sight and feeling ( and understanding ): little thanks do ye give! | ||
| 10 | And they say: " What! when we lie hidden and lost in the earth shall we indeed be in a creation renewed? " Nay they deny the meeting with their Lord! | ||
| 11 | Say: " The Angel of Death put in charge of you will ( duly ) take your souls: then shall ye be brought back to your Lord. " | ||
| 12 | If only thou couldst see when the guilty ones will bend low their heads before their Lord ( saying: ) " Our Lord! We have seen and we have heard: now then send us back ( to the world ): we will work righteousness: for we do indeed ( now ) believe. " | ||
| 13 | If We had so willed We could certainly have brought every soul its true guidance: but the Word from Me will come true. " I will fill Hell with Jinns and men all together. " | ||
| 14 | " Taste ye then for ye forgot the meeting of this day of yours and We too will forget you taste ye the Penalty of Eternity for your ( evil ) deeds! " | ||
| 15 | Only those believe in Our Signs who when they are recited to them fall down in adoration and celebrate the praises of their Lord nor are they ( ever ) puffed up with pride. | ||
| 16 | Their limbs do forsake their beds of sleep the while they call on their Lord in Fear and Hope: and they spend ( in charity ) out of the sustenance which We have bestowed on them. | ||
| 17 | Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden ( in reserve ) for them as a reward for their ( good ) Deeds. | ||
| 18 | Is then the man who believes no better than the man who is rebellious and wicked? No equal are they. | ||
| 19 | For those who believe and do righteous deeds are Gardens as hospitable homes for their ( good ) deeds. | ||
| 20 | As to those who are rebellious and wicked their abode will be the Fire: every time they wish to get away therefrom they will be forced thereinto and it will be said to them: " taste ye the Penalty of the Fire the which ye were wont to reject as false. | ||
| 21 | And indeed We will make them taste of the Penalty of this ( life ) prior to the supreme Penalty in order that they may ( repent and ) return. | ||
| 22 | And who does more wrong than one to whom are recited the Signs of his Lord and who then turns away therefrom? Verily from those who transgress We shall exact ( Due ) Retribution. | ||
| 23 | We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not then in doubt of its reaching ( thee ): and We made it a guide to the Children of Israel. | ||
| 24 | And We appointed from among them Leaders giving guidance under Our command so long as they persevered with patience and continued to have faith in Our Signs. | ||
| 25 | Verily thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgement in the matters wherein they differ ( among themselves ). | ||
| 26 | Does it not teach them a lesson how many generations We destroyed before them in whose dwellings they ( now ) go to and fro? Verily in that are Signs: do they not then listen?. | ||
| 27 | And do they not see that We do drive Rain to parched soil ( bare of herbage ) and produce therewith crops providing food for their cattle and themselves? Have they not the vision?. | ||
| 28 | They say: " When will this decision be if ye are telling the truth? " | ||
| 29 | Say: " On the Day of Decision no profit will it be to Unbelievers if they ( then ) believe! Nor will they be granted a respite. " | ||
| 30 | So turn away from them and wait: they too are waiting. | ||
