1
The arrangers in columns.
2
The blamers of those to be blamed.
3
The reciters of the messages.
4
Your god is only one.
5
The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, and Lord of the easts.,
6
We have adorned the lowest heaven with adorning planets.,
7
We guarded it from every evil devil.
8
They cannot spy on the High Society; they get bombarded from every side.
9
They have been condemned; they have incurred an eternal retribution.
10
If any of them ventures to charge the outer limits, he gets struck with a fierce projectile.
11
Ask them, "Are they more difficult to create, or the other creations?" We created them from wet mud.
12
While you are awed, they mock.
13
When reminded, they take no heed.
14
When they see proof, they ridicule it.
15
They say, "This is obviously magic!
16
"After we die and become dust and bones, do we get resurrected?
17
"Even our ancient ancestors?"
18
Say, "Yes, you will be forcibly summoned."
19
All it takes is one nudge, whereupon they (stand up) looking.
20
They will say, "Woe to us; this is the Day of Judgment."
21
This is the day of decision that you used to disbelieve in.
22
Summon the transgressors, and their spouses, and the idols they worshipped
23
beside GOD, and guide them to the path of Hell.
24
Stop them, and ask them:
25
"Why do you not help one another?"
26
They will be, on that day, totally submitting.
27
They will come to each other, questioning and blaming one another.
28
They will say (to their leaders), "You used to come to us from the right side."
29
They will respond, "It is you who were not believers.
30
"We never had any power over you; it is you who were wicked.
31
"We justly incurred our Lord's judgment; now we have to suffer.
32
"We misled you, only because we were astray."
33
Thus, together they will all partake of the retribution on that day.
34
This is how we requite the guilty.
35
When they were told, "Laa Elaaha Ella Allah
36
They said, "Shall we leave our gods for the sake of a crazy poet?"
37
In fact, he has brought the truth, and has confirmed the messengers.
38
Most assuredly, you will taste the most painful retribution.
39
You are requited only for what you have done.
40
Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (will be saved).
41
They have deserved provisions that are reserved specifically for them.
42
All kinds of fruits. They will be honored.
43
In the gardens of bliss.
44
On furnishings close to one another.
45
Cups of pure drinks will be offered to them.
46
Clear and delicious for the drinkers.
47
Never polluted, and never exhausted.
48
With them will be wonderful companions.
49
Protected like fragile eggs.
50
They will come to each other, and confer with one another.
51
One of them will say, "I used to have a friend.
52
"He used to mock: 'Do you believe all this?
53
" 'After we die and turn into dust and bones, do we get called to account?' "
54
He will say, "Just take a look!"
55
When he looks, he will see his friend in the heart of Hell.,
56
He (will go to him and) say, "By GOD, you almost ruined me.
57
"If it were not for my Lord's blessing, I would have been with you now.
58
"(Do you still believe) that we die,
59
"only the first death, and we never receive any requital?"
60
Such is the greatest triumph.
61
This is what every worker should work for.
62
Is this a better destiny, or the tree of bitterness?
63
We have rendered it a punishment for the transgressors.
64
It is a tree that grows in the heart of Hell.
65
Its flowers look like the devils' heads.
66
They will eat from it until their bellies are filled up.
67
Then they will top it with a hellish drink.
68
Then they will return to Hell.
69
They found their parents astray.
70
And they blindly followed in their footsteps.
71
Most of the previous generations have strayed in the same manner.
72
We have sent to them warners.
73
Note the consequences for those who have been warned.
74
Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (are saved).
75
Thus, Noah called upon us, and we were the best responders.
76
We saved him and his family from the great disaster.
77
We made his companions the survivors.
78
And we preserved his history for subsequent generations.
79
Peace be upon Noah among the peoples.
80
We thus reward the righteous.
81
He is one of our believing servants.
82
We drowned all the others.
83
Among his followers was Abraham.
84
He came to his Lord wholeheartedly.
85
He said to his father and his people, "What are you worshipping?
86
"Is it these fabricated gods, instead of GOD, that you want?
87
"What do you think of the Lord of the universe?"
88
He looked carefully at the stars.
89
Then he gave up and said, "I am tired of this!"
90
They turned away from him.
91
He then turned on their idols, saying, "Would you like to eat?
92
"Why do you not speak?"
93
He then destroyed them.
94
They went to him in a great rage.
95
He said, "How can you worship what you carve?
96
"When GOD has created you, and everything you make!"
97
They said, "Let us build a great fire, and throw him into it."
98
They schemed against him, but we made them the losers.
99
He said, "I am going to my Lord; He will guide me."
100
"My Lord, grant me righteous children."
101
We gave him good news of a good child.
102
When he grew enough to work with him, he said, "My son, I see in a dream that I am sacrificing you. What do you think?" He said, "O my father, do what you are commanded to do. You will find me, GOD willing, patient." *
103
They both submitted, and he put his forehead down (to sacrifice him).
104
We called him: "O Abraham.
105
"You have believed the dream." We thus reward the righteous.
106
That was an exacting test indeed.
107
We ransomed (Ismail) by substituting an animal sacrifice.
108
And we preserved his history for subsequent generations.
109
Peace be upon Abraham.
110
We thus reward the righteous.
111
He is one of our believing servants.
112
Then we gave him the good news about the birth of Isaac, to be one of the righteous prophets.
113
We blessed him and Isaac. Among their descendants, some are righteous, and some are wicked transgressors.
114
We also blessed Moses and Aaron.
115
We delivered them and their people from the great disaster.
116
We supported them, until they became the winners.
117
We gave both of them the profound scripture.
118
We guided them in the right path.
119
We preserved their history for subsequent generations.
120
Peace be upon Moses and Aaron.
121
We thus reward the righteous.
122
Both of them were among our righteous servants.
123
Elias was one of the messengers.
124
He said to his people, "Would you not work righteousness?
125
"Do you worship a statue, instead of the Supreme Creator?
126
"GOD; your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers!"
127
They disbelieved him. Consequently, they had to be called to account.
128
Only GOD's servants who are absolutely devoted to Him alone (are saved).
129
We preserved his history for subsequent generations.
130
Peace be upon Elias, and all those like Elias.
131
We thus reward the righteous.
132
He was one of our believing servants.
133
Lot was one of the messengers.
134
We saved him and all his family.
135
Only the old woman was doomed.
136
We annihilated all the others.
137
You still pass by their ruins by day.
138
And by night. Would you understand?
139
Jonah was one of the messengers.
140
He escaped to the loaded ship.
141
He rebelled and thus, he joined the losers.
142
Consequently, the fish swallowed him, and he was the one to blame.
143
If it were not that he resorted to meditation (on God),
144
he would have stayed in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.
145
We had him thrown up into the desert, exhausted.
146
We had a tree of edible fruit grown for him.
147
Then we sent him to a hundred thousand, or more.,
148
They did believe, and we let them enjoy this life.
149
Ask them if your Lord have daughters, while they have sons!
150
Did we create the angels to be females? Did they witness that?
151
Indeed, they grossly blaspheme when they say -
152
"GOD has begotten a son." Indeed, they are liars.
153
Did He choose the girls over the boys?
154
What is wrong with your logic?
155
Why do you not take heed?
156
Do you have any proof?
157
Show us your book, if you are truthful.
158
They even invented a special relationship between Him and the jinns. The jinns themselves know that they are subservient.
159
GOD be glorified; far above their claims.
160
Only GOD's servants who are devoted to Him alone (are saved).
161
Indeed, you and what you worship.
162
Cannot impose anything on Him.
163
Only you will burn in Hell.
164
Each one of us has a specific job.
165
We are the arrangers.
166
We have duly glorified (our Lord).
167
They used to say,
168
"Had we received the correct instructions from our parents,
169
"we would have been worshipers; devoted to GOD alone."
170
But they disbelieved, and they will surely find out.
171
Our decision is already decreed for our servants the messengers.
172
They are surely the victors.
173
Our soldiers are the winners.
174
So disregard them for awhile.
175
Watch them; they too will watch.
176
Do they challenge our retribution?
177
When it hits them one day, it will be a miserable day; they have been sufficiently warned.
178
Disregard them for awhile.
179
Watch them; they too will watch.
180
Glory be to your Lord, the great Lord; far above their claims.
181
Peace be upon the messengers.
182
Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.
