[1] Alif. Lam. Ra. These are the verses of the Book and the glorious Quran.
[2] How strongly the unbelievers will wish that they had been Muslims.
[3] (Muhammad), leave them alone to eat and enjoy themselves and let their desires deceive them; they will soon know (the Truth).
[4] We never destroyed any town without pre-ordaining the fate of its people.
[5] Every nation can only live for the time appointed for it.
[6] (The unbelievers have said), "You to whom the Quran has been revealed are insane.
[7] Why do you not bring down the angels if what you say is true".
[8] We do not send down angels except for a genuine purpose, at which time none will be given any further respite.
[9] We Ourselves have revealed the Quran and We are its Protectors.
[10] We sent Messengers to the ancient people who lived before you.
[11] No Messenger went to them whom they did not mock.
[12] This is how We cause the hearts of the guilty ones to behave.
[13] They do not believe in the Truth and they exactly follow the tradition of the ancient (unbelievers)
[14] Had We opened a door for them in the sky through which they could easily pass,
[15] they would have said, "Our eyes are bewildered and we have been affected by magic."
[16] We have made constellations in the sky and decorated them for the onlookers.
[17] We have protected them from every condemned devil,
[18] except for those who stealthily try to listen to the heavens, but who are chased away by a bright flame.
[19] We have spread out the earth, fixed mountains thereupon and caused everything to grow to its proper weight
[20] to provide you and those for whose sustenance you are not responsible, with the necessities of life.
[21] With Us is the source of everything and We do not send it down except in a known quantity.
[22] We send impregnating winds and send down water from the sky for you to drink and you have no (control over its) storage.
[23] It is We who give life and cause things to die and We are the sole Heirs.
[24] We know the people who lived before you and those who will come into existence after you.
[25] Your Lord will resurrect them all; He is All-wise and All-knowing.
[26] We have created the human being out of pure mud-moulded clay
[27] and the jinn before (the human being) of smokeless fire.
[28] When your Lord said to the angels, "I will create the human being out of pure mud-moulded clay.
[29] When it is properly shaped and I have blown My Spirit into it, you should then bow down in prostration".
[30] All the angels prostrated before Adam
[31] except Iblis who refused to join with the others in prostration.
[32] God asked Iblis, "What made you not join the others in prostration?"
[33] Iblis replied, "I did not want to prostrate before a human being whom You have created out of mud-moulded clay".
[34] God told him, "Get out of the garden; you are rejected
[35] and will be subjected to condemnation until the Day of Judgment."
[36] Iblis prayed, "Lord, grant me respite until the Day of Judgment".
[37] The Lord said, "Your request is granted
[38] for an appointed time."
[39] Iblis said, "Lord, because you have caused me to go astray, I shall make earthly things attractive to (people) and mislead all of them
[40] except Your sincere servants".
[41] God said, "The path which leads to Me is a straight
[42] and you have no authority over My servants except the erring ones who follow you.
[43] Hell is the promised place for them all.
[44] It has seven gates and each gate is assigned for a certain group of people.
[45] The pious will live in gardens with streams
[46] and they will be told to enter there in peace and safety.
[47] We shall remove all hatred from their breasts and make them as brothers reclining on thrones facing one another.
[48] No fatigue will touch them nor will they be expelled therefrom."
[49] (Muhammad), tell My servants that I am All-forgiving and All-merciful
[50] and that My punishment is a painful one.
[51] Tell them about the guests of Abraham
[52] who came to him saying, "Peace be with you." Abraham said, "We are afraid of you".
[53] They replied, "Do not be afraid. We have brought you the glad news of (the birth) of a learned son".
[54] Abraham asked, "Are you giving me the glad news of a son in my old age? What reason can you give for such glad news?"
[55] They said, "We have given you the glad news for a true reason so do not despair".
[56] He said, "No one despairs of the mercy of his Lord except those who are in error.
[57] Messengers, what is your task?"
[58] They said, "We are sent to a sinful people.
[59] Only the family of Lot will all be saved,
[60] except his wife who is doomed to be left behind."
[61] When the Messengers came to the family of Lot,
[62] he said, "You seem to be strangers".
[63] They replied, "We have come to you about the matter which the (unbelievers) have rejected.
[64] We have come to you for a genuine purpose and We are true in what we say.
[65] Leave the town with your family sometime during the night. Walk behind them and let no one turn around. Proceed as you are commanded."
[66] We informed him that the unbelievers would be utterly destroyed.
[67] The people of the town rejoicingly
[68] rushed towards the house of Lot. Lot said to them, "These are my guests. Do not disgrace me.
[69] Have fear of God and do not humiliate me".
[70] They replied, "Did we not forbid you to bring anyone to your house?"
[71] Lot said, "These are my daughters if you want them."
[72] By your life! In their drunkenness they were truly blind.
[73] An explosion struck them at sunrise.
[74] We turned the town upside-down and showered on them lumps of baked clay.
[75] In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for the prudent ones.
[76] That town lies on a road which still exists.
[77] In this there is evidence (of the Truth) for the believers.
[78] Since the People of the Forest were unjust,
[79] We afflicted them with punishment. Both people had clear (divine) authority among them.
[80] People of Hijr rejected the Messengers.
[81] We showed them miracles but they ignored them.
[82] They would carve secure houses out of the mountains.
[83] An explosion struck them in the morning.
[84] Out of what they had gained, nothing proved to be of any benefit to them.
[85] We have created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, for a genuine purpose. The Day of Judgment will certainly approach, so (Muhammad) forgive them graciously.
[86] Your Lord is certainly the All-knowing Creator.
[87] (Muhammad), We have given you the seven most repeated (verses) and the great Quran.
[88] Do not yearn for other people's property and wives and do not grieve (that they do not believe). Be kind to the believers.
[89] Say, "Indeed, I am simply one who warns."
[90] (We have given you the Quran) as We had given (the Bible) to those who divided themselves into groups
[91] and also divided the Quran believing in some parts and rejecting others.
[92] By the Lord, We will hold them all responsible
[93] for what they have done
[94] Preach what you have been commanded to and stay away from the pagans.
[95] We shall help you against those who mock you
[96] and believe other things to be equal to God. They will soon know the truth.
[97] We certainly know that you feel sad about what they say against you.
[98] Glorify and praise your Lord and be with those who prostrate themselves before God.
[99] Worship your Lord until you achieve the ultimate certainty.
