67- Al-Mulk
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 Blessed be He in Whose hands is Dominion; and He over all things hath Power;-
2  He  Who  created  Death  and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and
He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving;-
3  He  Who  created  the  seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt
thou  see  in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou
any flaw?
4  Again  turn  thy  vision  a  second  time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and
discomfited, in a state worn out.
5  And  we  have,  (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have
made  such  (Lamps)  (as)  missiles  to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for
them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.
6  For  those  who  reject  their  Lord  (and  Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is
(such), Destination.
7  When  they  are cast therein, they will hear the (terrible) drawing in of its breath even
as it blazes forth,
8  Almost  bursting  with  fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask,
"Did no Warner come to you?"
9  They  will  say: "Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said,
'Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are nothing but an egregious delusion!'"
10  They  will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not
(now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"
11    They    will    then   confess  their  sins:  but  far  will  be  (Forgiveness)  from  the
Companions of the Blazing Fire!
12  As  for  those  who  fear  their  Lord  unseen,  for  them  is  Forgiveness and a great
Reward.
13  And  whether  ye  hide  your  word or publish it, He certainly has (full) knowledge,
of the secrets of (all) hearts.
14  Should  He  not  know,-  He  that  created?  and  He is the One that understands the
finest mysteries (and) is well-acquainted (with them).
15  It  is  He  Who  has  made  the  earth manageable for you, so traverse ye through its
tracts    and    enjoy    of  the  Sustenance  which  He  furnishes:  but  unto  Him  is  the
Resurrection.
16  Do  ye  feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up
by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?
17  Or  do  ye  feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent
tornado   (with  showers  of  stones),  so  that  ye  shall  know  how  (terrible)  was  My
warning?
18  But  indeed  men  before  them  rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My
rejection (of them)?
19  Do  they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them
in?    None    can   uphold  them  except  (Allah)  Most  Gracious:  Truly  (Allah)  Most
Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.
20  Nay,  who  is  there  that  can  help  you,  (even  as)  an  army, besides (Allah) Most
Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.
21  Or  who  is  there  that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His
provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth).
22  Is  then  one  who  walks  headlong, with his face grovelling, better guided,- or one
who walks evenly on a Straight Way?
23  Say:  "It  is  He  Who  has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the
faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give.
24  Say:  "It  is  He  Who  has multiplied you through the earth, and to Him shall ye be
gathered together."
25 They ask: When will this promise be (fulfilled)? - If ye are telling the truth.
26  Say:  "As  to  the  knowledge  of the time, it is with Allah alone: I am (sent) only to
warn plainly in public."
27    At  length,  when  they  see  it  close  at  hand,  grieved  will  be  the  faces  of  the
Unbelievers,  and  it  will  be  said  (to  them): "This is (the promise fulfilled), which ye
were calling for!"
28  Say:  "See  ye?-  If  Allah  were  to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows
His Mercy on us,- yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?"
29  Say:  "He  is  (Allah)  Most  Gracious:  We have believed in Him, and on Him have
we put our trust: So, soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error."
30  Say:  "See  ye?-  If  your  stream  be some morning lost (in the underground earth),
who then can supply you with clear-flowing water?"

68- Al-Qalam
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 Nun. By the Pen and the (Record) which (men) write,-
2 Thou art not, by the Grace of thy Lord, mad or possessed.
3 Nay, verily for thee is a Reward unfailing:
4 And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character.
5 Soon wilt thou see, and they will see,
6 Which of you is afflicted with madness.
7  Verily  it  is  thy  Lord that knoweth best, which (among men) hath strayed from His
Path: and He knoweth best those who receive (true) Guidance.
8 So hearken not to those who deny (the Truth).
9 Their desire is that thou shouldst be pliant: so would they be pliant.
10 Heed not the type of despicable men,- ready with oaths,
11 A slanderer, going about with calumnies,
12 (Habitually) hindering (all) good, transgressing beyond bounds, deep in sin,
13 Violent (and cruel),- with all that, base-born,-
14 Because he possesses wealth and (numerous) sons.
15 When to him are rehearsed Our Signs, "Tales of the ancients", he cries!
16 Soon shall We brand (the beast) on the snout!
17  Verily  We  have  tried  them  as  We  tried  the  People  of  the  Garden, when they
resolved to gather the fruits of the (garden) in the morning.
18 But made no reservation, ("If it be Allah's Will").
19  Then  there  came  on  the  (garden) a visitation from thy Lord, (which swept away)
all around, while they were asleep.
20  So  the  (garden)  became,  by  the  morning,  like  a dark and desolate spot, (whose
fruit had been gathered).
21 As the morning broke, they called out, one to another,-
22 "Go ye to your tilth (betimes) in the morning, if ye would gather the fruits."
23 So they departed, conversing in secret low tones, (saying)-
24 "Let not a single indigent person break in upon you into the (garden) this day."
25 And they opened the morning, strong in an (unjust) resolve.
26 But when they saw the (garden), they said: "We have surely lost our way:
27 "Indeed we are shut out (of the fruits of our labour)!"
28  Said  one of them, more just (than the rest): "Did I not say to you, 'Why not glorify
(Allah)?'"
29 They said: "Glory to our Lord! Verily we have been doing wrong!"
30 Then they turned, one against another, in reproach.
31 They said: "Alas for us! We have indeed transgressed!
32  "It  may  be  that  our  Lord  will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this: for
we do turn to Him (in repentance)!"
33    Such    is  the  Punishment  (in  this  life);  but  greater  is  the  Punishment  in  the
Hereafter,- if only they knew!
34 Verily, for the Righteous, are Gardens of Delight, in the Presence of their Lord.
35 Shall We then treat the People of Faith like the People of Sin?
36 What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
37 Or have ye a book through which ye learn-
38 That ye shall have, through it whatever ye choose?
39    Or   have  ye  Covenants  with  Us  to  oath,  reaching  to  the  Day  of  Judgment,
(providing) that ye shall have whatever ye shall demand?
40 Ask thou of them, which of them will stand surety for that!
41    Or   have  they  some  "Partners"  (in  Allahhead)?  Then  let  them  produce  their
"partners", if they are truthful!
42  The  Day  that  the  shin  shall  be laid bare, and they shall be summoned to bow in
adoration, but they shall not be able,-
43  Their  eyes  will  be  cast  down,-  ignominy  will  cover  them; seeing that they had
been  summoned  aforetime  to  bow  in  adoration,  while  they  were  whole, (and had
refused).
44  Then  leave  Me alone with such as reject this Message: by degrees shall We punish
them from directions they perceive not.
45 A (long) respite will I grant them: truly powerful is My Plan.
46  Or  is  it  that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load
of debt?-
47 Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down?
48    So   wait  with  patience  for  the  Command  of  thy  Lord,  and  be  not  like  the
Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony.
49  Had  not  Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on
the naked shore, in disgrace.
50 Thus did his Lord choose him and make him of the Company of the Righteous.
51  And  the  Unbelievers  would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the
Message; and they say: "Surely he is possessed!"
52 But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds.

69- Al-Haaqqa
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 The Sure Reality!
2 What is the Sure Reality?
3 And what will make thee realise what the Sure Reality is?
4 The Thamud and the 'Ad People (branded) as false the Stunning Calamity!
5 But the Thamud,- they were destroyed by a terrible Storm of thunder and lightning!
6 And the 'Ad, they were destroyed by a furious Wind, exceedingly violent;
7  He  made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou
couldst  see  the  (whole)  people  lying  prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of
hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
8 Then seest thou any of them left surviving?
9  And  Pharaoh, and those before him, and the Cities Overthrown, committed habitual
Sin.
10  And  disobeyed  (each)  the  messenger of their Lord; so He punished them with an
abundant Penalty.
11  We,  when  the  water  (of  Noah's Flood) overflowed beyond its limits, carried you
(mankind), in the floating (Ark),
12  That  We might make it a Message unto you, and that ears (that should hear the tale
and) retain its memory should bear its (lessons) in remembrance.
13 Then, when one blast is sounded on the Trumpet,
14  And  the  earth  is moved, and its mountains, and they are crushed to powder at one
stroke,-
15 On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
16 And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy,
17  And  the angels will be on its sides, and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of thy
Lord above them.
18  That  Day  shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be
hidden.
19  Then  he  that  will  be  given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read
ye my Record!
20 "I did really understand that my Account would (One Day) reach me!"
21 And he will be in a life of Bliss,
22 In a Garden on high,
23 The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.
24  "Eat  ye  and  drink  ye,  with  full  satisfaction;  because  of  the (good) that ye sent
before you, in the days that are gone!"
25  And  he  that  will  be  given  his Record in his left hand, will say: "Ah! Would that
my Record had not been given to me!
26 "And that I had never realised how my account (stood)!
27 "Ah! Would that (Death) had made an end of me!
28 "Of no profit to me has been my wealth!
29 "My power has perished from me!"...
30 (The stern command will say): "Seize ye him, and bind ye him,
31 "And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.
32 "Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits!
33 "This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.
34 "And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent!
35 "So no friend hath he here this Day.
36 "Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds,
37 "Which none do eat but those in sin."
38 So I do call to witness what ye see,
39 And what ye see not,
40 That this is verily the word of an honoured messenger;
41 It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!
42 Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye receive.
43 (This is) a Message sent down from the Lord of the Worlds.
44 And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name,
45 We should certainly seize him by his right hand,
46 And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart:
47 Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).
48 But verily this is a Message for the Allah-fearing.
49 And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
50 But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
51 But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.
52 So glorify the name of thy Lord Most High.

70- Al-Maarij
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 A questioner asked about a Penalty to befall-
2 The Unbelievers, the which there is none to ward off,-
3 (A Penalty) from Allah, Lord of the Ways of Ascent.
4  The  angels  and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty
thousand years:
5 Therefore do thou hold Patience,- a Patience of beautiful (contentment).
6 They see the (Day) indeed as a far-off (event):
7 But We see it (quite) near.
8 The Day that the sky will be like molten brass,
9 And the mountains will be like wool,
10 And no friend will ask after a friend,
11  Though  they  will  be put in sight of each other,- the sinner's desire will be: Would
that he could redeem himself from the Penalty of that Day by (sacrificing) his children,
12 His wife and his brother,
13 His kindred who sheltered him,
14 And all, all that is on earth,- so it could deliver him:
15 By no means! for it would be the Fire of Hell!-
16 Plucking out (his being) right to the skull!-
17 Inviting (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces (from the Right).
18 And collect (wealth) and hide it (from use)!
19 Truly man was created very impatient;-
20 Fretful when evil touches him;
21 And niggardly when good reaches him;-
22 Not so those devoted to Prayer;-
23 Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;
24 And those in whose wealth is a recognised right.
25 For the (needy) who asks and him who is prevented (for some reason from asking);
26 And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;
27 And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord,-
28 For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity;-
29 And those who guard their chastity,
30  Except  with  their  wives  and  the  (captives)  whom their right hands possess,- for
(then) they are not to be blamed,
31 But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors;-
32 And those who respect their trusts and covenants;
33 And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
34 And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;-
35 Such will be the honoured ones in the Gardens (of Bliss).
36 Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee-
37 From the right and from the left, in crowds?
38 Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
39 By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!
40  Now  I  do  call  to  witness  the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We
can certainly-
41  Substitute  for  them  better (men) than they; And We are not to be defeated (in Our
Plan).
42  So  leave  them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that Day
of theirs which they have been promised!-
43  The  Day  whereon  they  will  issue from their sepulchres in sudden haste as if they
were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them),-
44  Their  eyes  lowered  in  dejection,-  ignominy  covering them (all over)! such is the
Day the which they are promised!

71- Nooh
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1  We  sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before
there comes to them a grievous Penalty."
2 He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:
3 "That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:
4  "So  He  may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when
the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
5 He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:
6 "But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
7  "And  every  time  I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have
(only)  thrust  their  fingers  into  their  ears, covered themselves up with their garments,
grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
8 "So I have called to them aloud;
9 "Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
10 "Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving;
11 "'He will send rain to you in abundance;
12  "'Give  you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on
you rivers (of flowing water).
13  "'What  is  the  matter  with  you,  that  ye  place  not  your  hope  for  kindness and
long-suffering in Allah,-
14 "'Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?
15 "'See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,
16  "'And  made  the  moon  a  light  in  their  midst,  and  made the sun as a (Glorious)
Lamp?
17 "'And Allah has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),
18  "'And  in  the  End  He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at
the Resurrection)?
19 "'And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),
20 "'That ye may go about therein, in spacious roads.'"
21  Noah  said:  "O  my  Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose
wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.
22 "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.
23  "And  they  have  said  (to  each  other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither
Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr';-
24  "They  have  already  misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong-doers
but in straying (from their mark)."
25  Because  of  their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the
Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of Allah- none to help them.
26 And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!
27  "For,  if  Thou  dost  leave  (any  of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and
they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.
28  "O  my  Lord!  Forgive  me,  my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all)
believing  men  and  believing  women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase
but in perdition!"

72- Al-Jinn
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1  Say:  It  has  been  revealed  to  me  that  a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur'an).
They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful Recital!
2  'It  gives  guidance  to  the  Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in
worship) any (gods) with our Lord.
3 'And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.
4  'There  were  some  foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against
Allah;
5 'But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah.
6  'True,  there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the
Jinns, but they increased them in folly.
7  'And  they  (came  to)  think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to
Judgment).
8  'And  we  pried  into  the  secrets  of  heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards
and flaming fires.
9  'We  used,  indeed,  to  sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who
listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.
10  'And  we  understand  not  whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their
Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct.
11  'There  are  among  us  some  that  are  righteous, and some the contrary: we follow
divergent paths.
12  'But  we  think  that  we  can  by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor
can we frustrate Him by flight.
13  'And  as  for  us,  since  we  have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and
any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.
14  'Amongst  us are some that submit their wills (to Allah), and some that swerve from
justice.  Now  those  who  submit  their  wills  - they have sought out (the path) of right
conduct:
15 'But those who swerve,- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire'-
16  (And  Allah's  Message  is): "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right)
Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance.
17   "That  We  might  try  them  by  that  (means).  But  if  any  turns  away  from  the
remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.
18  "And  the  places  of  worship  are  for  Allah (alone): So invoke not any one along
with Allah;
19  "Yet  when  the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round
him a dense crowd."
20 Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)."
21 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct."
22  Say:  "No  one  can  deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I
find refuge except in Him,
23  "Unless  I  proclaim  what  I  receive  from  Allah  and  His  Messages:  for any that
disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever."
24  At  length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then
will  they  know  who  it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of
numbers.
25  Say:  "I  know  not  whether  the  (Punishment)  which  ye  are promised is near, or
whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.
26  "He  (alone)  knows  the  Unseen,  nor  does He make any one acquainted with His
Mysteries,-
27  "Except  a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers
march before him and behind him,
28  "That  He  may  know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of
their  Lord:  and  He  surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account
of every single thing."

73- Al-Muzzammil
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 O thou folded in garments!
2 Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night,-
3 Half of it,- or a little less,
4 Or a little more; and recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones.
5 Soon shall We send down to thee a weighty Message.
6  Truly  the  rising  by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable
for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).
7 True, there is for thee by day prolonged occupation with ordinary duties:
8    But   keep  in  remembrance  the  name  of  thy  Lord  and  devote  thyself  to  Him
whole-heartedly.
9  (He  is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for
(thy) Disposer of Affairs.
10 And have patience with what they say, and leave them with noble (dignity).
11  And  leave  Me  (alone  to  deal with) those in possession of the good things of life,
who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while.
12 With Us are Fetters (to bind them), and a Fire (to burn them),
13 And a Food that chokes, and a Penalty Grievous.
14  One  Day  the  earth  and  the  mountains  will  be  in  violent  commotion. And the
mountains will be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down.
15  We  have  sent to you, (O men!) a messenger, to be a witness concerning you, even
as We sent a messenger to Pharaoh.
16 But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger; so We seized him with a heavy Punishment.
17  Then  how  shall  ye,  if  ye  deny  (Allah), guard yourselves against a Day that will
make children hoary-headed?-
18 Whereon the sky will be cleft asunder? His Promise needs must be accomplished.
19  Verily  this is an Admonition: therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to
his Lord!
20  Thy  Lord  doth  know  that  thou  standest  forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the
night,  or  half  the  night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee.
But  Allah  doth  appoint  night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable
to  keep  count  thereof.  So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the
Qur'an  as  much  as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among
you  in  ill-health;  others  travelling  through  the  land,  seeking of Allah's bounty; yet
others  fighting  in  Allah's  Cause,  read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be
easy  (for  you);  and  establish  regular  Prayer  and  give  regular  Charity;  and loan to
Allah  a  Beautiful  Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find
it  in  Allah's  Presence,-  yea,  better  and  greater,  in  Reward and seek ye the Grace of
Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

74- Al-Muddaththir
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
2 Arise and deliver thy warning!
3 And thy Lord do thou magnify!
4 And thy garments keep free from stain!
5 And all abomination shun!
6 Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
7 But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
8 Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
9 That will be- that Day - a Day of Distress,-
10 Far from easy for those without Faith.
11 Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone!-
12 To whom I granted resources in abundance,
13 And sons to be by his side!-
14 To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
15 Yet is he greedy-that I should add (yet more);-
16 By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
17 Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
18 For he thought and he plotted;-
19 And woe to him! How he plotted!-
20 Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!-
21 Then he looked round;
22 Then he frowned and he scowled;
23 Then he turned back and was haughty;
24 Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
25 "This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
26 Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire!
27 And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?
28 Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone!-
29 Darkening and changing the colour of man!
30 Over it are Nineteen.
31  And  We  have  set  none  but  angels  as  Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed
their  number  only as a trial for Unbelievers,- in order that the People of the Book may
arrive  at  certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith,- and that no doubts may be
left  for  the  People  of  the  Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a
disease  and  the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus
doth  Allah  leave  to  stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none
can  know  the  forces  of  thy  Lord,  except  He  and this is no other than a warning to
mankind.
32 Nay, verily: By the Moon,
33 And by the Night as it retreateth,
34 And by the Dawn as it shineth forth,-
35 This is but one of the mighty (portents),
36 A warning to mankind,-
37 To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind;-
38 Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
39 Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
40 (They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
41 And (ask) of the Sinners:
42 "What led you into Hell Fire?"
43 They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
44 "Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
45 "But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
46 "And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
47 "Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
48 Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
49 Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition?-
50 As if they were affrighted asses,
51 Fleeing from a lion!
52 Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
53 By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
54 Nay, this surely is an admonition:
55 Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
56  But  none  will  keep  it  in  remembrance  except  as  Allah wills: He is the Lord of
Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.

75- Al-Qiyama
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
2 And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).
3 Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
4 Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers.
5 But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
6 He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
7 At length, when the sight is dazed,
8 And the moon is buried in darkness.
9 And the sun and moon are joined together,-
10 That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
11 By no means! No place of safety!
12 Before thy Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
13 That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
14 Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
15 Even though he were to put up his excuses.
16 Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an) to make haste therewith.
17 It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
18 But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
19 Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
20 Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
21 And leave alone the Hereafter.
22 Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);-
23 Looking towards their Lord;
24 And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
25 In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
26 Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar-bone (in its exit),
27 And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
28 And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
29 And one leg will be joined with another:
30 That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
31 So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-
32 But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
33 Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
34 Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
35 Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
36 Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
37 Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
38  Then  did  he  become  a leech-like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in
due proportion.
39 And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
40 Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?

76- Al-Insan
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1  Has  there  not  been  over  Man  a  long period of Time, when he was nothing - (not
even) mentioned?
2  Verily  We  created  Man  from a drop of mingled sperm, in order to try him: So We
gave him (the gifts), of Hearing and Sight.
3 We showed him the Way: whether he be grateful or ungrateful (rests on his will).
4 For the Rejecters we have prepared chains, yokes, and a blazing Fire.
5 As to the Righteous, they shall drink of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Kafur,-
6  A  Fountain  where  the  Devotees  of  Allah  do  drink,  making  it flow in unstinted
abundance.
7 They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.
8 And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-
9  (Saying),"We  feed  you  for  the  sake  of  Allah alone: no reward do we desire from
you, nor thanks.
10 "We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord."
11  But  Allah  will  deliver  them  from  the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a
Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy.
12  And  because  they  were  patient  and constant, He will reward them with a Garden
and (garments of) silk.
13  Reclining  in  the  (Garden)  on  raised  thrones,  they will see there neither the sun's
(excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold.
14  And  the  shades  of  the  (Garden)  will  come  low over them, and the bunches (of
fruit), there, will hang low in humility.
15 And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal,-
16  Crystal-clear,  made  of silver: they will determine the measure thereof (according to
their wishes).
17 And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of Wine) mixed with Zanjabil,-
18 A fountain there, called Salsabil.
19  And  round  about  them  will  (serve)  youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest
them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls.
20 And when thou lookest, it is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
21  Upon  them  will  be  green  Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will
be  adorned  with  Bracelets  of  silver;  and  their  Lord  will  give to them to drink of a
Wine Pure and Holy.
22 "Verily this is a Reward for you, and your Endeavour is accepted and recognised."
23 It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to thee by stages.
24  Therefore  be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not
to the sinner or the ingrate among them.
25 And celebrate the name or thy Lord morning and evening,
26  And  part  of  the  night,  prostrate  thyself  to  Him;  and  glorify  Him a long night
through.
27  As  to  these,  they love the fleeting life, and put away behind them a Day (that will
be) hard.
28  It  is  We  Who  created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We
will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change.
29 This is an admonition: Whosoever will, let him take a (straight) Path to his Lord.
30 But ye will not, except as Allah wills; for Allah is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.
31  He  will  admit to His Mercy whom He will; But the wrong-doers,- for them has He
prepared a grievous Penalty.

77- Al-Mursalat
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
1 By the (Winds) sent forth one after another (to man's profit);
2 Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts,
3 And scatter (things) far and wide;
4 Then separate them, one from another,
5 Then spread abroad a Message,
6 Whether of Justification or of Warning;-
7 Assuredly, what ye are promised must come to pass.
8 Then when the stars become dim;
9 When the heaven is cleft asunder;
10 When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
11 And when the messengers are (all) appointed a time (to collect);-
12 For what Day are these (portents) deferred?
13 For the Day of Sorting out.
14 And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
15 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
16 Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
17 So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
18 Thus do We deal with men of sin.
19 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
20 Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?-
21 The which We placed in a place of rest, firmly fixed,
22 For a period (of gestation), determined (according to need)?
23 For We do determine (according to need); for We are the best to determine (things).
24 Ah woe, that Day! to the Rejecters of Truth!
25 Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together.
26 The living and the dead,
27  And  made  therein  mountains  standing  firm,  lofty  (in  stature); and provided for
you water sweet (and wholesome)?
28 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
29 (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
30 "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns,
31 "(Which yields) no shade of coolness, and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
32 "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts,
33 "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
34 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
35 That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak.
36 Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
37 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
38  That  will  be  a  Day of Sorting out! We shall gather you together and those before
(you)!
39 Now, if ye have a trick (or plot), use it against Me!
40 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
41 As to the Righteous, they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
42 And (they shall have) fruits,- all they desire.
43 "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness).
44 Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
45 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
46  (O  ye  unjust!)  Eat  ye  and  enjoy  yourselves  (but)  a  little  while, for that ye are
Sinners.
47 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
48 And when it is said to them, "Prostrate yourselves!" they do not so.
49 Ah woe, that Day, to the Rejecters of Truth!
50 Then what Message, after that, will they believe in?
