Oath and Affirmation of Divine Unity
1 By those aligned in rows
2 And those who drive away with force
3 And those who recite the reminder
4 Indeed, your God is One
5 Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the sunrises
Creation and Protection of the Heavens
6 Indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with the adornment of stars
7 And as protection against every rebellious devil
8 They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and are pelted from every side
9 Repelled and for them is a constant punishment
10 Except one who snatches a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame
Mockery of Disbelievers and Their Fate
11 So ask them, are they a stronger creation or those We have created? Indeed, We created them from sticky clay.
12 But you wonder, while they mock.
13 And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.
14 And when they see a sign, they ridicule.
15 And they say, This is nothing but obvious magic.
16 When we are dead and have become dust and bones, will we indeed be resurrected?
17 And our forefathers as well?
18 Say, Yes, and you will be humbled.
19 It will be only one shout, and suddenly they will be watching.
20 They will say, Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment.
21 This is the Day of Distinction which you used to deny.
22 Gather those who wronged and their companions and what they used to worship.
23 Besides God, and guide them to the path of Hellfire.
24 And stop them, indeed they are to be questioned.
25 What is wrong with you? Why do you not help each other?
26 But today they are in submission.
27 And they will approach one another, questioning each other.
28 They will say, Indeed, you used to come to us from the right.
29 They will say, Rather, you were not believers.
30 And we had no authority over you. But you were transgressing people.
31 So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us. Indeed, we will taste punishment.
32 And we led you astray. Indeed, we were deviators.
33 So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment.
34 Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.
35 Indeed they, when it was said to them, There is no deity but God, were arrogant.
36 And were saying, Are we to abandon our gods for a mad poet?
37 Rather, he has come with the truth and confirmed the messengers.
38 Indeed, you will taste the painful punishment.
39 And you will not be rewarded except for what you used to do.
Rewards for the Righteous in Paradise
40 Except for the chosen servants of God
41 Those will have a known provision
42 Fruits and they will be honored
43 In the Gardens of Pleasure
44 On thrones facing each other
45 Circulating among them will be a cup from a flowing spring
46 White delicious to the drinkers
47 No headache in it and they will not be intoxicated from it
48 And with them will be women limiting their glances with large eyes
49 As if they were sheltered eggs
50 And some of them will approach others asking questions
51 A speaker among them will say Indeed I had a companion
52 Who would say Are you indeed of those who believe
53 That when we have died and become dust and bones will we indeed be recompensed
54 He will say Would you like to look
55 Then he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire
56 He will say By God you almost ruined me
57 If not for the favor of my Lord I would have been of those brought in
58 Then are we not to die
59 Except for our first death and we will not be punished
60 Indeed this is the great attainment
61 For the like of this let the workers work
The Tree of Zaqqum and Punishment in Hell
62 Is that a better welcome or the tree of Zaqqum?
63 Indeed, We have made it a trial for the wrongdoers.
64 It is a tree that grows from the bottom of Hellfire.
65 Its fruits are like the heads of devils.
66 They will eat from it and fill their bellies with it.
67 Then on top of it, they will have a mixture of boiling water.
68 Then their return will be to the Hellfire.
69 Indeed, they found their fathers astray.
70 So they hastened in their footsteps.
71 And most of the earlier people went astray before them.
72 And We had certainly sent among them warners.
73 So see how was the end of those who were warned.
74 Except for the chosen servants of God.
Stories of Previous Prophets
75 Noah called out to Us, and We are the best responders
76 We saved him and his family from the great distress
77 And We made his descendants the survivors
78 And We left for him among later generations
79 Peace be upon Noah among the worlds
80 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
81 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
82 Then We drowned the others
83 And indeed, among his kind was Abraham
84 When he came to his Lord with a sound heart
85 When he said to his father and his people, What do you worship
86 Is it falsehood gods other than God you desire
87 Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds
88 And he cast a look at the stars
89 And said, Indeed, I am sick
90 So they turned away from him, departing
91 Then he turned to their gods and said, Do you not eat
92 What is wrong with you that you do not speak
93 And he turned upon them a blow with his right hand
94 Then the people came toward him, hastening
95 He said, Do you worship that which you carve
96 While God created you and what you do
97 They said, Build for him a structure and throw him into the blazing fire
98 And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the lowest
99 And he said, Indeed, I will go to my Lord He will guide me
100 My Lord, grant me a righteous child
101 So We gave him good news of a forbearing boy
102 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 what you are commanded. You will find me, if God wills, of the steadfast
103 And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead
104 We called to him, O Abraham
105 You have fulfilled the vision. Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
106 Indeed, this was the clear trial
107 And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice
108 And We left for him among later generations
109 Peace upon Abraham
110 Thus do We reward the doers of good
111 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
112 And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous
113 And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself
114 And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron
115 And We saved them and their people from the great distress
116 And We supported them so it was they who overcame
117 And We gave them the clear Scripture
118 And We guided them on the straight path
119 And We left for them among later generations
120 Peace upon Moses and Aaron
121 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
122 Indeed, they were of Our believing servants
123 And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers
124 When he said to his people, Will you not fear God
125 Do you call upon Baal and leave the best of creators
126 God, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers
127 And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought to punishment
128 Except the chosen servants of God
129 And We left for him among later generations
130 Peace upon Elias
131 Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good
132 Indeed, he was of Our believing servants
133 And indeed, Lot was among the messengers
134 When We saved him and his family, all
135 Except an old woman among those who remained behind
136 Then We destroyed the others
137 And indeed, you pass by them in the morning
138 And at night. Then will you not use reason
139 And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers
140 When he ran away to the laden ship
141 And he drew lots and was among the losers
142 Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy
143 And had he not been of those who exalt God
144 He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected
145 But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill
146 And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine
147 And We sent him to a hundred thousand or more
148 And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment for a time
Refutation of Polytheistic Beliefs
149 So ask them, does your Lord have daughters while they have sons?
150 Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?
151 Unquestionably, it is out of their falsehood that they say
152 God has begotten, and indeed they are liars
153 Has He chosen daughters over sons?
154 What is wrong with you? How do you judge?
155 Will you not then reflect?
156 Or do you have a clear authority?
157 Then bring your book if you are truthful
158 And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they will be brought to account
159 Exalted is God above what they describe
160 Except the chosen servants of God
161 So indeed, you and what you worship
162 You cannot tempt anyone away from Him
163 Except he who is to burn in the Hellfire
164 There is not one of us but has a known position
165 And indeed, we are those who line up in rows
166 And indeed, we are those who glorify
Victory of God's Messengers and Punishment of Disbelievers
167 They used to say
168 If we had a reminder from the former people
169 We would have surely been chosen servants of God
170 But they disbelieved in it so they will come to know
171 Our word has already preceded for Our servants the messengers
172 Indeed they will be the victorious ones
173 And indeed Our soldiers will be the overcomers
174 So turn away from them for a time
175 And see them for they will see
176 Then is it for Our punishment they seek to hasten
177 But when it descends in their territory then evil will be the morning of those who were warned
178 And turn away from them for a time
179 And see for they will see
180 Glory to your Lord the Lord of Might above what they describe
181 And peace upon the messengers
182 And praise to God Lord of the worlds
