1
Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near to them, yet they are disregardful in [their] obliviousness.
2
There does not come to them any new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it as they play around,
3
their hearts set on diversions. The wrongdoers secretly whisper together, [saying], ‘Is this [man] not a human being like yourselves? Will you give in to magic with open eyes?’
4
He said, ‘My Lord knows every word [spoken] in the sky and on the earth, and He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.’
5
But they said, ‘[They are] muddled dreams!’ ‘Indeed, he has fabricated it!’ ‘Indeed, he is a poet!’ ‘Let him bring us a sign, like those sent to the former generations.’
6
No town that We destroyed before them believed. Will these then have faith [if they are sent signs]?
7
We did not send [any apostles] before you except as men to whom We revealed. Ask the People of the Reminder if you do not know.
8
We did not make them bodies that did not eat food, nor were they immortal.
9
Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, and We delivered them and whomever We wished, and We destroyed the transgressors.
10
Certainly We have sent down to you a Book in which there is an admonition for you. Do you not exercise your reason?
11
How many a town We have smashed that had been wrongdoing, and We brought forth another people after it.
12
So when they sighted Our punishment, behold, they ran away from it.
13
‘Do not run away! Return to the opulence you were given to enjoy and to your dwellings so that you may be questioned!’
14
They said, ‘Woe to us! We have indeed been wrongdoers!’
15
That remained their cry until We turned them into a mown field, stilled [like burnt ashes].
16
We did not create the sky and the earth and whatever is between them for play.
17
Had We desired to take up some diversion We would have taken it up with Ourselves, were We to do [so].
18
Indeed, We hurl the truth against falsehood, and it crushes its head, and behold, falsehood vanishes! And woe to you for what you allege [about Allah].
19
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and those who are near Him do not disdain to worship Him, nor do they become weary.
20
They glorify [Him] night and day, and they do not flag.
21
Have they taken gods from the earth who raise [the dead]?
22
Had there been any gods in them other than Allah, they would surely have fallen apart. Clear is Allah, the Lord of the Throne, of what they allege [concerning Him].
23
He is not questioned concerning what He does, but they are questioned.
24
Have they taken gods besides Him? Say, ‘Produce your evidence! This is a precept of those who are with me, and a precept of those [who went] before me.’ But most of them do not know the truth, and so they are disregardful.
25
We did not send any apostle before you but that We revealed to him that ‘There is no god except Me; so worship Me.’
26
They say, ‘The All-beneficent has taken offsprings.’ Immaculate is He! Indeed, they are [His] honoured servants.
27
They do not venture to speak ahead of Him, and they act by His command.
28
He knows that which is before them and that which is behind them, and they do not intercede except for someone He approves of, and they are apprehensive for the fear of Him.
29
Should any of them say, ‘I am a god besides Him,’ We will requite him with hell. Thus do We requite the wrongdoers.
30
Have the faithless not regarded that the heavens and the earth were interwoven and We unravelled them, and We made every living thing out of water? Will they not then have faith?
