[1] Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Quran that makes (things) clear.
[2] Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims.
[3] Leave them that they may eat and enjoy themselves and (that) hope may beguile them, for they will soon know.
[4] And never did We destroy a town but it had a term made known.
[5] No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone (it).
[6] And they say: O you to whom the Reminder has been revealed! you are most surely insane:
[7] Why do you not bring to us the angels if you are of the truthful ones?
[8] We do not send the angels but with truth, and then they would not be respited.
[9] Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian.
[10] And certainly We sent (apostles) before you among the nations of yore.
[11] And there never came an apostle to them but they mocked him.
[12] Thus do We make it to enter into the hearts of the guilty;
[13] They do not believe in it, and indeed the example of the former people has already passed.
[14] And even if We open to them a gateway of heaven, so that they ascend into it all the while,
[15] They would certainly say: Only our eyes have been covered over, rather we are an enchanted people.
[16] And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders.
[17] And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan,
[18] But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame.
[19] And the earth-- We have spread it forth and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing.
[20] And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers.
[21] And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure.
[22] And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up.
[23] And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs.
[24] And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later.
[25] And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing.
[26] And certainly We created man of clay that gives forth sound, of black mud fashioned in shape.
[27] And the jinn We created before, of intensely hot fire.
[28] And when your Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.
[29] So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.
[30] So the angels made obeisance, all of them together,
[31] But Iblis (did it not); he refused to be with those who made obeisance.
[32] He said: O Iblis! what excuse have you that you are not with those who make obeisance?
[33] He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.
[34] He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are driven away:
[35] And surely on you is curse until the day of judgment.
[36] He said: My Lord! then respite me till the time when they are raised.
[37] He said: So surely you are of the respited ones
[38] Till the period of the time made known.
[39] He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil to me, I will certainly make (evil) fair-seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate
[40] Except Thy servants from among them, the devoted ones.
[41] He said: This is a right way with Me:
[42] Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority, over them except those who follow you of the deviators.
[43] And surely Hell is the promised place of them all:
[44] It has seven gates; for every gate there shall be a separate party of them.
[45] Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains:
[46] Enter them in peace, secure.
[47] And We will root out whatever of rancor is in their breasts-- (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face.
[48] Toil shall not afflict them in it, nor shall they be ever ejected from it.
[49] Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,
[50] And that My punishment-- that is the painful punishment.
[51] And inform them of the guests of Ibrahim:
[52] When they entered upon him, they said, Peace. He said: Surely we are afraid of you.
[53] They said: Be not afraid, surely we give you the good news of a boy, possessing knowledge.
[54] He said: Do you give me good news (of a son) when old age has come upon me?-- Of what then do you give me good news!
[55] They said: We give you good news with truth, therefore be not of the despairing.
[56] He said: And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord but the erring ones?
[57] He said: What is your business then, O apostles?
[58] They said: Surely we are sent towards a guilty people,
[59] Except Lut's followers: We will most surely deliver them all,
[60] Except his wife; We ordained that she shall surely be of those who remain behind.
[61] So when the apostles came to Lut's followers,
[62] He said: Surely you are an unknown people.
[63] They said: Nay, we have come to you with that about which they disputed.
[64] And we have come to you with the truth, and we are most surely truthful.
[65] Therefore go forth with your followers in a part of the night and yourself follow their rear, and let not any one of you turn round, and go forth whither you are commanded.
[66] And We revealed to him this decree, that the roots of these shall be cut off in the morning.
[67] And the people of the town came rejoicing.
[68] He said: Surely these are my guests, therefore do not disgrace me,
[69] And guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do not put me to shame.
[70] They said: Have we not forbidden you from (other) people?
[71] He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).
[72] By your life! they were blindly wandering on in their intoxication.
[73] So the rumbling overtook them (while) entering upon the time of sunrise;
[74] Thus did We turn it upside down, and rained down upon them stones of what had been decreed.
[75] Surely in this are signs for those who examine.
[76] And surely it is on a road that still abides.
[77] Most surely there is a sign in this for the believers.
[78] And the dwellers of the thicket also were most surely unjust.
[79] So We inflicted retribution on them, and they are both, indeed, on an open road (still) pursued.
[80] And the dwellers of the Rock certainly rejected the apostles;
[81] And We gave them Our communications, but they turned aside from them;
[82] And they hewed houses in the mountains in security.
[83] So the rumbling overtook them in the morning;
[84] And what they earned did not avail them.
[85] And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but in truth; and the hour is most surely coming, so turn away with kindly forgiveness.
[86] Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things, the Knowing.
[87] And certainly We have given you seven of the oft-repeated (verses) and the grand Quran.
[88] Do not strain your eyes after what We have given certain classes of them to enjoy, and do not grieve for them, and make yourself gentle to the believers.
[89] And say: Surely I am the plain warner.
[90] Like as We sent down on the dividers
[91] Those who made the Quran into shreds.
[92] So, by your Lord, We would most certainly question them all,
[93] As to what they did.
[94] Therefore declare openly what you are bidden and turn aside from the polytheists.
[95] Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers
[96] Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shall soon know.
[97] And surely We know that your breast straitens at what they say;
[98] Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make obeisance.
[99] And serve your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain.
