[1] I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
[2] Then those who drive away with reproof,
[3] Then those who recite, being mindful,
[4] Most surely your Allah is One:
[5] The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
[6] Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,
[7] And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
[8] They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
[9] Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
[10] Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
[11] Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
[12] Nay! you wonder while they mock,
[13] And when they are reminded, they mind not,
[14] And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,
[15] And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
[16] What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,
[17] Or our fathers of yore?
[18] Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
[19] So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.
[20] And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.
[21] This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
[22] Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship
[23] Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
[24] And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
[25] What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?
[26] Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
[27] And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.
[28] They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
[29] They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;
[30] And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;
[31] So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;
[32] So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
[33] So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.
[34] Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.
[35] Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;
[36] And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?
[37] Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.
[38] Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.
[39] And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
[40] Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
[41] For them is a known sustenance,
[42] Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,
[43] In gardens of pleasure,
[44] On thrones, facing each other.
[45] A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,
[46] White, delicious to those who drink.
[47] There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.
[48] And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;
[49] As if they were eggs carefully protected.
[50] Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.
[51] A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,
[52] Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?
[53] What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?
[54] He shall say: Will you look on?
[55] Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.
[56] He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;
[57] And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.
[58] Is it then that we are not going to die,
[59] Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?
[60] Most surely this is the mighty achievement.
[61] For the like of this then let the workers work.
[62] Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?
[63] Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.
[64] Surely it is a tree that-grows in the bottom of the hell;
[65] Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.
[66] Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.
[67] Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.
[68] Then most surely their return shall be to hell.
[69] Surely they found their fathers going astray,
[70] So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.
[71] And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,
[72] And certainly We sent among them warners.
[73] Then see how was the end of those warned,
[74] Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
[75] And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.
[76] And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress.
[77] And We made his offspring the survivors.
[78] And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
[79] Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.
[80] Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.
[81] Surely he was of Our believing servants.
[82] Then We drowned the others
[83] And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.
[84] When he came to his Lord with a free heart,
[85] When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship?
[86] A lie-- gods besides Allah-- do you desire?
[87] What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?
[88] Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,
[89] Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these).
[90] So they went away from him, turning back.
[91] Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat?
[92] What is the matter with you that you do not speak?
[93] Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand.
[94] So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.
[95] Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?
[96] And Allah has created you and what you make.
[97] They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.
[98] And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.
[99] And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.
[100] My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
[101] So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.
[102] And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
[103] So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
[104] And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
[105] You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
[106] Most surely this is a manifest trial.
[107] And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
[108] And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
[109] Peace be on Ibrahim.
[110] Thus do We reward the doers of good.
[111] Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
[112] And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
[113] And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
[114] And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
[115] And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
[116] And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
[117] And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
[118] And We guided them both on the right way.
[119] And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
[120] Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
[121] Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
[122] Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
[123] And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
[124] When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
[125] What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
[126] Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
[127] But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
[128] But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
[129] And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
[130] Peace be on Ilyas.
[131] Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
[132] Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
[133] And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
[134] When We delivered him and his followers, all--
[135] Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
[136] Then We destroyed the others.
[137] And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
[138] And at night; do you not then understand?
[139] And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
[140] When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
[141] So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
[142] So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
[143] But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
[144] He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
[145] Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
[146] And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
[147] And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
[148] And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
[149] Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
[150] Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
[151] Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
[152] Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
[153] Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
[154] What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
[155] Will you not then mind?
[156] Or have you a clear authority?
[157] Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
[158] And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
[159] Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
[160] But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
[161] So surely you and what you worship,
[162] Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
[163] Save him who will go to hell.
[164] And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
[165] And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
[166] And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
[167] And surely they used to say:
[168] Had we a reminder from those of yore,
[169] We would certainly have been the servants of Allah-- the purified ones.
[170] But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
[171] And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
[172] Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
[173] And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
[174] Therefore turn away from them till a time,
[175] And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
[176] What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
[177] But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
[178] And turn away from them till a time
[179] And (then) see, for they too shall see.
[180] Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
[181] And peace be on the apostles.
[182] And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
