ALIF LAM RA. These are the verses of the Book and the perspicuous oration.
2
The unbelievers would haply like to wish that they had submitted (and become Muslim).
3
Leave them to feast and revel, beguiled by hope; they will come to know soon.
4
Not one habitation have We destroyed but at the time determined for it.
5
No people can hasten or delay the term already fixed for them.
6
And yet they say: "You, to whom this Exposition has been sent are surely possessed of the Devil.
7
If you are a man of truth, why can't you bring the angels to us?"
8
But then We never send the angels down save with the purpose (of enforcing their doom), after which they will not be given more respite.
9
We have sent down this Exposition, and We will guard it.
10
We had also sent apostles to people of earlier persuasions.
11
But never once an apostle came to them at whom they did not scoff.
12
We place in the hearts of sinners (disbelief).
13
So, they will not believe in it: The example of former people is there.
14
Even if We open a door in the heavens and they ascend through it in broad daylight,
15
They will say all the same: "Our eyes were dazed (and clouded over). We were a people ensorcelled."
16
We have placed the signs of the Zodiac in the sky, and decked it out for those who can see;
17
And We have preserved it from every accursed devil,
18
Except the ones who listen on the sly, yet they are chased away by a shooting flame.
19
We stretched the earth and placed upon it firm stabilisers, and made all things grow upon it balanced evenly.
20
We have provided on it sustenance for you, and for those you cannot provide.
21
Of all things there are We have the stores, and send them down in determined measure.
22
We send rain-impregnated winds, and water from the sky which you drink, but you are not the keepers of its store.
23
It is We who give life and We who give death, and We are the One who will abide.
24
We surely know those of you who go forward and those of you who lag behind.
25
Your Lord will surely gather them together: Certainly He is all-wise and all-knowing.
26
Man We fashioned from fermented clay dried tingling hard,
27
As We fashioned jinns before from intense radiated heat.
28
But when your Lord said to the angels: "I am verily going to create a human being from fermented clay dried tingling hard;
29
And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, bow before him in homage;"
30
The angels bowed in homage in a body
