Oaths and Affirmation of Judgment Day
1 By the scattering winds
2 And the clouds carrying rain
3 And the ships sailing with ease
4 And the angels distributing matters
5 Indeed what you are promised is true
6 And the judgment will surely occur
Condemnation of Disbelievers
7 By the sky with its pathways
8 Indeed you are in differing speech
9 Turned away from it is he who is deluded
10 Destroyed are the liars
11 Those who are in heedlessness, unaware
12 They ask When is the Day of Judgment
13 The Day they will be tormented over the Fire
14 Taste your torment. This is what you were hastening
Characteristics of the Righteous
15 Indeed the righteous will be among gardens and springs
16 Taking what their Lord has given them Indeed they were before that doers of good
17 They used to sleep but little of the night
18 And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness
19 And from their wealth was a share for the beggar and the deprived
Signs of God's Power in Creation
20 And on the earth are signs for those with certainty
21 And in yourselves. Do you not see
22 And in the sky is your provision and what you are promised
23 So by the Lord of the heaven and earth it is truth just as you speak
Story of Abraham's Guests
24 Has the story of the honored guests of Abraham reached you
25 When they entered upon him and said Peace he said Peace unfamiliar people
26 Then he went to his family and came with a fat roasted calf
27 And he placed it near them he said Will you not eat
28 Then he felt a fear of them They said Do not fear and they gave him good news of a knowledgeable son
29 Then his wife came forward with a loud cry and struck her face and said A barren old woman
30 They said Thus has your Lord decreed Indeed He is the Wise the Knowing
31 He said Then what is your mission O messengers
32 They said Indeed we have been sent to a criminal people
33 To send upon them stones of clay
34 Marked by your Lord for the transgressors
35 Then We evacuated whoever was in the city of the believers
36 But We found not within it other than a single house of Muslims
37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment
Examples of Divine Punishment
38 And in Moses when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority
39 But he turned away with his supporters and said A magician or a madman
40 So We seized him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea while he was blameworthy
41 And in Aad when We sent upon them the barren wind
42 It left nothing it came upon but made it like disintegrated ruins
43 And in Thamud when it was said to them Enjoy yourselves for a time
44 But they defied the command of their Lord so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking
45 And they were unable to rise up nor could they defend themselves
46 And the people of Noah before Indeed they were a defiantly disobedient people
God's Creation and Power
47 We built the sky with strength, and We are expanding it.
48 And the earth We spread out. How excellent are We as spreaders.
49 And of everything We created pairs, so that you might remember.
50 So flee to God. I am a clear warner to you from Him.
51 And do not make another god with God. I am a clear warner to you from Him.
Warning to Disbelievers
52 Similarly, no messenger came to those before them without them saying, A magician or a madman.
53 Did they pass this on to one another? Rather, they are a transgressing people.
54 So turn away from them, for you are not to blame.
55 And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.
Purpose of Human Creation
56 I created jinn and humans only to worship Me.
57 I do not want any provision from them, nor do I want them to feed Me.
58 Indeed, God is the Provider, the Possessor of Power, the Strong.
59 So those who wronged will have a portion like the portion of their companions, so let them not ask Me to hasten.
60 Woe to those who disbelieve from their Day which they are promised.
