Sarwar, Surah 15: The Rock (Al-Hijr)

Surahs

[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.
