1
And by those ranged in ranks ranging,
2
Then by the scarers scaring, (This is sometimes meat that the Angles perform such acts)
3
Then by the reciters of a Remembrance,
4
Surely your God is indeed One,
5
The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them both and The Lord of the easts.
6
Surely We have adorned the lowest heaven with an adornment, the planets,
7
And (as) a preservation against every insurgent Shatan. (Ever – vicious (one), i.e., devil).
8
They do not overhear the most Exalted Chiefs, (i. e., angels) and they are pelted (with hurled meteors) from every side,
9
Rejected, and they will have a lasting torment,
10
Except him who snatches a snatching (away); then a piercing flaming (meteor) follows him up.
11
So ask them for a pronouncement: "Are they more valiant as a creation or the ones We created? Surely We created them of clinging clay. "
12
No indeed, you wonder, and they scoff,
13
And when they are reminded, they do not remember.
14
And when they see a sign, they turn it to scoffing.
15
And they have said, "Decidedly this is nothing except an evident sorcery.
16
When we die and are dust and bones, will we surely be made to rise again indeed?
17
And our earliest fathers?"
18
Say, "Yes, and you will be (utterly) abject. "
19
So, surely it is only one scaring, then only then, they are looking on.
20
And they say, "oh woe to us! This is the Day of Doom. " (Or: Judgment; Religion)
21
This is the Day of Verdict, which you used to cry lies to.
22
Muster the ones who did injustice, and their spouses, and whatever they were worshiping.
23
Apart from Allah, and so guide them to the path of Hell-Fire.
24
And bid them stand; surely they are to be questioned,
25
How is it that you do not vindicate one another?
26
No indeed; (but) they are today submitting themselves.
27
And some of them come forward to others, (Literally: some (others) asking one another (questions).
28
They (The seduced) say, "Surely you used to come up to us from the right hand. " (i.e. with the Truth).
29
They say, "No indeed, but you were not believers.
30
And in no way did we have any all- binding authority over you; no indeed, (but) you were an inordinate people. "
31
"So, our Lord's Word (Literally: Saying) has come true against us; surely we are indeed tasting (it).
32
So we have misguided you; surely we were (ourselves) misguided. "
33
So, upon that Day, surely they are partners in the torment.
34
Surely thus We perform against the criminals.
35
Surely when it was said to them, "There is no god except Allah, " they were waxing proud.
36
And they said, "Shall we surely be leaving indeed our gods for a mad poet?"
37
No indeed, (but) he has come with the Truth and has sincere (faith) in the Emissaries.
38
Surely you will indeed be tasting the painful torment;
39
And in no way will you be recompensed, except according to whatever you were doing.
40
Except for the most faithful bondmen of Allah.
41
For those there is a known provision-
42
Fruits-and they will be honored.
43
In the Gardens of Bliss.
44
On settees, facing one another.
45
A cup from a profuse (spring) is passed round for them-
46
White, delicious to the drinkers-
47
Wherein there is no insobriety, (Or: havoc, danger) nor are they exhausted (Or: inebriated) thereby.
48
And in their presence are wide-eyed (maidens), restraining their glances.
49
As if they were white nestled (jewels).
50
So some of them come forward to others, (Literally: some (others) asking one another (questions).
51
A speaker of them says, "Surely I used to have a comrade.
52
He (always) said, Are you surely of the ones who indeed count it sincerely (verified)?
53
When we die and are dust and bones, will we surely be doomed (Or: judged) indeed?"
54
He says, "Are you (all) viewing (him)?"
55
So he views (him), and then sees him in the (deepest) level of the Hell-Fire.
56
He says, "By Allah, (The Arabic is ta-llahi; which a stronger oath than the more usual wa-llahi) decidedly you were almost about to topple me down indeed.
57
And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, indeed I would have been among the ones presented forward.
58
Then in no way will we be dead,
59
Except for our first death, and in no way will we be tormented?
60
Surely this is indeed that which is magnificent triumph;
61
For the like of this let the doers do (good deeds). "
62
Is this a more charitable (i. e., better) hospitality, or even the Tree of Az-Zaqqûm?
63
Surely We have made it as a temptation (Or: trial) for the unjust.
64
Surely it is a tree that comes out (Literally: goes out) in the root of Hell-Fire;
65
Its spathes are as the heads of Shayatûn. (Ever-vicious (ones), i.e., devils)
66
Then surely they will indeed be eating of it, and so of it they will be filling their bellies.
67
Thereafter on top of it surely they will have indeed an admixture of scalding (water),
68
Thereafter surely their return indeed is to Hell-Fire.
69
Surely they came upon their fathers erring,
70
So they are made to hurry in their tracks.
71
And indeed before them already erred away most of the earliest (people),
72
And indeed We already sent among them warners.
73
So look into how was the end of the warned people,
74
Except for the most faithful bondmen of Allah.
75
And indeed, Nûh (Noah) already called out to Us; (i. e., Allah, through the Angels) so how excellent indeed were The Answerers!
76
And We safely delivered him and his family from the tremendous agony;
77
And We made his offspring the ones who are the (enduring) survivors;
78
And We have left for him (honor) among the later (generations):
79
Peace be upon Nûh (Noah) among the worlds!
80
Surely thus do We recompense the fair-doers.
81
Surely he is among Our believing bondmen.
82
Thereafter We drowned the others.
83
And surely of his sect indeed was Ibrahîm (Abraham)
84
As he came to his Lord with a sound heart,
85
As he said to his father and his people, "What is it that you worship?
86
Is it a falsehood, gods apart from Allah, that you are willing (to worship)?
87
What then is your expectation from The Lord of the worlds?"
88
So he looked a look (i. e., gazed at the stars) at the stars,
89
Yet he said, "Surely I am ailing. "
90
Then they turned away from him, withdrawing.
91
So he went apart to their gods; then he said, "Will you not eat?
92
How is it with you that you do not pronounce (a word)
93
So he went apart upon them (i. e., their idols) striking with his right hand.
94
Then they (i. e., the disbelievers) came forward to him in a hurried procession.
95
He said, "Do you worship what you hew,
96
And Allah created you and whatever you do?
97
They said, "Build him a structure, (and) then cast him in the Hell-Fire. "
98
So they were willing to devise a plot against him; yet We made them the basest.
99
And he said, "Surely I am going to my Lord, soon He will guide me.
100
Lord! Bestow upon me one of the righteous. "
101
So We gave him the good tidings of a forbearing youth.
102
Then when he (His son) reached the age of endeavoring with him, he said, "O my son, surely I see in a dream (Literally: time of sleeping) that I should slay you; so, look, what do you see?" He said, "O my (dear) father, perform whatever you are commanded; you will soon find me, in case Allah (so) decides, among the patient. "
103
So, as soon as they had both surrendered, and he dashed him upon his brow.
104
And We called out to him (saying), "O Ibrahîm, (Abraham).
105
you have already sincerely (believed) in the vision; surely thus We recompense the fair-doers.
106
Surely this is indeed what is the evident trial. "
107
And We ransomed him with a magnificent slain (sacrifice).
108
And We have left for him among the later generations,
109
"Peace be upon Ibrahîm. " (Abraham)
110
Thus We recompense the fair-doers;
111
Surely he is one of Our believing bondmen.
112
And We gave him the good tidings of Ishaq, (Isaac) a Prophet, one of the righteous.
113
And We blessed him and Ishaq, and of their (The pronoun is dual; i. e., offspring of the two of them) offspring some are fair-doers, and (some) are evidently unjust to themselves.
114
And indeed We were already bounteous to Mûsa (Moses) and Harûn. (Aron)
115
And We safely delivered them both and their people from the tremendous agony.
116
And We granted them victory, so that they were the ones (who were) overcomers;
117
And We brought them both the Evidential Book;
118
And We guided them both in the straight Path;
119
And We have left for them both among the later (generations),
120
"Peace be upon Mûsa and Harûn. "
121
Surely thus We recompense the fair-doers.
122
Surely they are both of Our believing bondmen.
123
And surely Ilyas (Alias=Elijah) is indeed one of the Emissaries;
124
As he said to his people, "Will you not be pious (towards Allah)?
125
Do you invoke Bacl, and leave out The Fairest of creators,
126
Allah, your Lord, and The Lord of your earliest fathers?"
127
Yet they cried him lies; then surely they will indeed be presented forward?"
128
Except for the most faithful bondmen of Allah.
129
And We have left for him (honor) in the later generations,
130
Peace be upon Ilyasîn!" (Elias)
131
Surely thus We recompense the fair-doers.
132
Surely he is one of Our believing bondmen.
133
And surely Lût (Lot) is indeed one of the Emissaries,
134
As We safely delivered him and his family all together,
135
Except an old woman among the laggards;
136
Thereafter We destroyed the others,
137
And surely you pass by them in the (early) morning.
138
And by night; Will you not then consider?
139
And surely Yûnus (Jonah) is indeed one of the Emissaries, 0
140
As he deserted to the laden ship (s);
141
Then he cast lots. Yet he was of the rebutted,
142
So the whale gobbled him, and he was blameworthy.
143
So had he not been of the extollers (of Allah),
144
He would indeed have lingered in its belly until the Day they will be made to rise again.
145
Then We flung him off upon the naked (shore) and he was ailing.
146
And We caused to grow over him a tree of gourds.
147
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, or more. (Literally: they may have increased)
148
Then they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.
149
So, ask them for a pronouncement, "Has your Lord daughters, and they have sons?
150
Or even did We create the Angels females, and they were witnesses?"
151
Verily, surely it is of their falsehood, indeed, (that) they say,
152
" Allah has begotten!" And surely they are liars indeed.
153
Has he elected daughters above sons?
154
How is it with you, how do you judge?
155
Will you then not be mindful?
156
Or even do you have an evident all- binding authority?
157
Then come up with your Book, in case you are sincere.
158
And they have made up a consanguity between Him and the jinn; and indeed the jinn already know that surely they will indeed be presented forward.
159
All Extolment be to Allah above what they describe.
160
Except (for) the most faithful bondmen of Allah.
161
Yet surely you and whatever you worship,
162
In no way will you tempt any against Him,
163
Except (for) him who will roast in Hell-Fire".
164
And in no way is there one of us, (i. e., the angels) except that he has a known station,
165
And surely we, indeed we, are the ones ranged in ranks,
166
And surely we, indeed we, are the extollers (of Allah). "
167
And decidedly they (i. e., the disbelievers) indeed used to say,
168
"If only we had in our presence a Remembrance (i. e., Scriptures) from the earliest (people).
169
Indeed we would be the most faithful bondmen of Allah. "
170
Yet they disbelieved in it; then eventually they will know!
171
And indeed Our Word has already gone before to Our bondmen, the Emissaries.
172
Surely they, indeed they, will be vindicated,
173
And surely Our hosts, indeed they, will be the overcomers.
174
So turn away from them for a while.
175
And behold them; then they will eventually behold.
176
Do they then seek to hasten Our torment?
177
So when it comes down in their courtyard, then how odious will be the morning of them that are constantly warned!
178
And turn away from them for a while
179
And behold; then they will eventually behold.
180
All Extolment be to your Lord, The Lord of Might, above whatever they describe!
181
And peace be upon the Emissaries;
182
And praise be to Allah, The Lord of the worlds.
