Alif-Lam-Meem. (Alphabets of the Arabic language – Allah and to whomever He reveals, know their precise meanings.)
2
Do men fancy that they will be left just upon their declaring, “We believe”, and they will not be tested?
3
We indeed tested those before them – so Allah will surely test the truthful, and will surely test the liars.
4
Or do they who commit evil deeds imagine that they can escape from Us? What an evil judgement they impose!
5
Whoever expects to meet Allah – then indeed the time appointed by Allah will come; and He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing.
6
And whoever strives in Allah's cause, strives only for his own benefit; indeed Allah is Independent of the entire creation.
7
And those who accepted faith and did good deeds – We will indeed relieve their sins and reward them for the best of their deeds.
8
And upon man We ordained kindness towards parents; and if they strive to make you ascribe a partner with Me, about which you do not have any knowledge, then do not obey them; towards Me only is your return and I will tell you what you used to do.
9
And those who accepted faith and did good deeds – We shall indeed include them among the virtuous.
10
And some people say, “We believe in Allah” – so if they are afflicted with some adversity in Allah’s way, they consider the chaos created by men as the punishment from Allah; and if the help comes from your Lord, they will surely say, “Indeed we were with you”; does not Allah well know what is in the hearts of the entire creation?
11
And indeed Allah will make known the believers, and indeed He will expose the hypocrites.
12
And the disbelievers said to the Muslims, “Follow our path and we will bear your sins”; whereas they will not bear anything from their sins; they are indeed liars.
13
And they will surely bear their own burdens and some other burdens along with their own; and they will undoubtedly be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning what they had fabricated.

16
And (remember) Ibrahim – when he said to his people, “Worship Allah and fear Him; that is better for you, if you knew!”
17
“You worship only idols instead of Allah, and only forge a clear lie; indeed those whom you worship instead of Allah do not control your sustenance – therefore seek your sustenance from Allah, and worship Him, and be grateful to Him; it is towards Him that you will be returned.”
18
“And if you deny, then many nations have denied before you; and the Noble Messenger is not responsible except to plainly convey (the message).”
19
Have they not seen how Allah initiates the creation, then will create it again? Indeed that is easy for Allah.
20
Proclaim (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him), “Travel in the land and see how He creates for the first time, then Allah brings forth the next development; indeed Allah is Able to do all things.”
21
He punishes whomever He wills and has mercy upon whomever He wills; and towards Him only you are to return.
22
Neither can you escape (from His control) in the earth nor in the sky; and for you, other than Allah, there is neither a friend nor a supporter.
23
And those who did not believe in My signs and in meeting Me, are those who have no hope of My mercy, and for them is a painful punishment.
24
So his people could not answer him except to say, “Kill him or burn him” – so Allah rescued him from the fire; indeed in this are signs for people who believe.
25

So Lut believed in him; and Ibrahim said, “I migrate towards my Lord; indeed only He is the Almighty, the Wise.”
27

28
And We rescued Lut when he said to his people, “You indeed commit the shameful; such that no one in the creation has ever done before you.”
29
“What! You commit the immoral with males, and cut off the roads; and you speak evilly in your gatherings?” So his people had no answer except to say, “Bring the punishment of Allah upon us if you are truthful!”
30
He submitted, “My Lord! Help me against these mischievous people.”
