1
All praise belongs to Allah who created the heavens and the earth and made the darkness and the light. Yet the faithless equate [others] with their Lord.
2
It is He who created you from clay, then ordained the term [of your life]—the specified term is with Him—and yet you are in doubt.
3
He is Allah in the heavens and on the earth: He knows your secret and your overt [matters], and He knows what you earn.
4
There did not come to them any sign from among the signs of their Lord, but that they used to disregard it.
5
They have certainly denied the truth when it came to them, but soon there will come to them the news of what they have been deriding.
6
Have they not regarded how many a generation We have destroyed before them whom We had granted power in the land in respects that We did not grant you, and We sent abundant rains for them from the sky and made streams run for them? Then We destroyed them for their sins, and brought forth another generation after them.
7
Had We sent down to you a Book on paper so they could touch it with their [own] hands, [still] the faithless would have said, ‘This is nothing but plain magic.’
8
They say, ‘Why has not an angel been sent down to him?’ Were We to send down an angel, the matter would surely be decided, and then they would not be granted any respite.
9
Had We made him an angel, We would have surely made him a man, and We would have surely confounded them just as they confound [the truth now].
10
Apostles were certainly derided before you. Then those who ridiculed them were besieged by what they used to deride.
11
Say, ‘Travel over the land, and then observe how was the fate of the deniers.’
12
Say, ‘To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth?’ Say, ‘To Allah. He has made mercy incumbent upon Himself. He will surely gather you on the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. Those who have ruined their souls will not have faith.’
13
To Him belongs whatever abides in the night and the day, and He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
14
Say, ‘Shall I take for guardian [anyone] other than Allah, the originator of the heavens and the earth, who feeds and is not fed?’ Say, ‘I have been commanded to be the first of those who submit [to Allah], and [told,] “Never be one of the polytheists.” ’
15
Say, ‘Indeed, should I disobey my Lord, I fear the punishment of a tremendous day.’
16
Whoever is spared of it on that day, He has certainly been merciful to him, and that is manifest success.
17
Should Allah visit you with some distress there is no one to remove it except Him; and should He bring you some good, then He has power over all things.
18
And He is the All-dominant over His servants, and He is the All-wise, the All-aware.
19
Say, ‘What thing is greatest as witness?’ Say, ‘Allah! [He is] witness between me and you, and this Quran has been revealed to me that I may warn thereby you and whomever it may reach.’ ‘Do you indeed bear witness that there are other gods besides Allah?’ Say, ‘I do not bear witness [to any such thing].’ Say, ‘Indeed He is the One God, and I indeed disown what you associate [with Him].’
20
Those whom We have given the Book recognize him just as they recognize their sons. Those who have ruined their souls will not have faith.
21
Who is a greater wrongdoer than him who fabricates a lie against Allah, or denies His signs? Indeed the wrongdoers will not be felicitous.
22
On the day when We gather them all together, We shall say to those who ascribed partners [to Allah] ‘Where are your partners that you used to claim?’
23
Then their only excuse will be to say, ‘By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists.’
24
Look, how they forswear themselves, and what they used to fabricate has forsaken them!
25
There are some of them who prick up their ears at you, but We have cast veils on their hearts lest they should understand it, and a deafness into their ears; and though they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. When they come to you, to dispute with you, the faithless say, ‘These are nothing but myths of the ancients.’
26
They dissuade [others] from [following] him, and [themselves] avoid him; yet they destroy no one except themselves, but they are not aware.
27
Were you to see when they are brought to a halt by the Fire, whereupon they will say, ‘If only we were sent back [into the world]! Then we will not deny the signs of our Lord, and we will be among the faithful!’
28
Indeed, what they used to hide before has now become evident to them. But were they to be sent back they would revert to what they were forbidden, and they are indeed liars.
29
They say, ‘There is nothing but our life of this world, and we shall not be resurrected.’
30
Were you to see when they are brought to a halt before their Lord. He will say, ‘Is this not a fact?’ They will say, ‘Yes, by our Lord!’ He will say, ‘So taste the punishment because of what you used to deny.’
