By the dipersing winds that disperse
And the clouds bearing a load
And the ships that glide with ease
And the angels who distribute the affair
Verily that wherewith ye are threatened is surely true
And verily the Requital is surely to befall
By the heaven full of paths
Verily ye are in a divided opinion
Turned aside therefrom is who is turned aside
Perish the conjecturer
Those who are in heedlessness neglectful
They ask:when is the Day of Requital coming
It will be the Day whereon in the Fire they will be burned
Taste your burning: this is that which ye sought to be hastened
Verily the God-fearing will be amid Gardens and water- springs
Taking that which their Lord will vouchsafe Unto hem. Verily they have been before that well-doers
Little of the night they were wont to slumber
And in the dawns they prayed for forgiveness
And in their substance was the right of the beggar and non- beggar
And on the earth there are signs for those who would be convinced
And also in Your own selves. Behold ye not
And in the heaven is Your provision and that which ye are promised
By the Lord of the heaven and the earth it is sure, even as it is a fact that ye are speaking
Hath there come Unto thee the story of Ibrahim's honoured guests
When they came in Unto him, and said:'peace!' he said: 'peace'! - people unknown
Then he turned away privately Unto his household, and brought a calf fatted
And he set it before them, and said: wherefore eat ye not
Then he conceived a fear of them. They said:fear not. And they gave him the tidings of a youth knowing
Then his wife drew near vociferating, and smote her face, and said: an old barren woman
They said: even so saith thine Lords Verily He! He is the Wise, the Knower
He said: what then is your errand! O ye sent ones
They said: verily we are sent Unto a people, guilty
That we may send down upon them stones of baked clay
Marked, from before thy Lord, for extravagant
Thus We brought forth from there in who were believers
And We found not therein more than one house of the Muslims
And We left therein a sign for those who fear the afflictive torment
And in Musa also was a lesson, when We sent him Unto Fir'awn with authority manifest
Then he turned away with his court, and said: a magician or a madman
Then We laid hold of him and his hosts and flung them into the sea, and he was reproachable
And in `A-ad also was a lesson, when We sent against them the barren wind
It left not aught whereon it came but it made it as matter decayed
And in Thamud's also was a lesson, when it was said Unto them: enjoy yourselves for a season
Then they disdained the command of their Lord; wherefore the bolt laid hold of them even while they looked on
So they were not able to stand, nor could they help themselves
And the people of Nuh We destroyed aforetime; verily they were a people transgressing
And the heaven! We have built it with might, and verily We are powerful
And the earth! We have stretched it forth beneath; an excellent Spreader are We
And of every thing We have created pairs, that haply ye may remember
Flee therefore Unto Allah; verily I am Unto you from Him a warner manifest
And set not up another god with Allah; verily I am Unto you from Him a warner manifest
Likewise, there came not an apostle Unto those before them but they said: a magician or a madman
Have they bequeathed its Unto each other! Nay! they are a people contumacious
So turn away thou from them, not thou art blameworthy
And admonish, for verily admonition profiteth the believers
And have not created the Jinn and mankind but that they should worship Me
I seek not any provision from them, nor I desire that they should feed Me
Verily Allah! He is the Provider, Owner of power, Firm
So verily Unto those who do wrong there is a portion like Unto the portion of their fellows; wherefore let them not ask Me to hasten on
Woe, then, Unto those who disbelieve in their Day which they are promised
