[1] Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an.
[2] Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.
[3] Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.
[4] And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.
[5] No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
[6] And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.
[7] Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"
[8] We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved.
[9] Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.
[10] And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples.
[11] And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.
[12] Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals.
[13] They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.
[14] And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,
[15] They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."
[16] And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
[17] And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah]
[18] Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.
[19] And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.
[20] And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.
[21] And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure.
[22] And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.
[23] And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.
[24] And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].
[25] And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.
[26] And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
[27] And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
[28] And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.
[29] And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
[30] So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,
[31] Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated.
[32] [Allah] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
[33] He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."
[34] [Allah] said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled.
[35] And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."
[36] He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
[37] [Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
[38] Until the Day of the time well-known."
[39] [Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all
[40] Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
[41] [Allah] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.
[42] Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.
[43] And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.
[44] It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated."
[45] Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs.
[46] [Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."
[47] And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.
[48] No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.
[49] [O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful.
[50] And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.
[51] And inform them about the guests of Abraham,
[52] When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful of you."
[53] [The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."
[54] He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"
[55] They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."
[56] He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
[57] [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"
[58] They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,
[59] Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all
[60] Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.
[61] And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,
[62] He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."
[63] They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,
[64] And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.
[65] So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."
[66] And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.
[67] And the people of the city came rejoicing.
[68] [Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.
[69] And fear Allah and do not disgrace me."
[70] They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"
[71] [Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."
[72] By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.
[73] So the shriek seized them at sunrise.
[74] And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.
[75] Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.
[76] And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road.
[77] Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
[78] And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers.
[79] So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.
[80] And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers.
[81] And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.
[82] And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.
[83] But the shriek seized them at early morning.
[84] So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.
[85] And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.
[86] Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.
[87] And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.
[88] Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers
[89] And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -
[90] Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators
[91] Who have made the Qur'an into portions.
[92] So by your Lord, We will surely question them all
[93] About what they used to do.
[94] Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists.
[95] Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers
[96] Who make [equal] with Allah another deity. But they are going to know.
[97] And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.
[98] So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].
[99] And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death).
