1
Blessed is He Who revealed Al-Furqân (this Qur'ân) to His servant that he may be a Warner to all the peoples.
2
It is He to Whom the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth belongs. And He has begotten nor taken to Himself a son, nor is there any associate with Him in the sovereignty. He has created everything and has determined its proper measure.
3
Yet people worship apart from Him gods who, rather than create anything, are themselves created and who have no power of (averting) harm or (doing) good to themselves, nor have they any control over death or life or Resurrection.
4
But those who disbelieve say, 'This (Qur'ân) is nothing but a big lie which he (the false claimant to Prophethood) has forged and other people have helped him in this,' (by) so (saying) they have perpetrated a great injustice and a big falsehood.
5
They (also) say, '(This Qur'ân consists of) fables of the ancients that he has got written down and now they are read out to him morning and evening.'
6
Say, 'He Who knows every secret of the heavens and the earth has revealed this (Qur'ân). Verily, He is Great Protector, Ever Merciful.'
7
They say, 'What sort of a Messenger is this that he even eats food and (also) goes about in the market-places? Why has no angel been sent down to him that he may (help him and) be a warner along with him?
8
'Or a treasure should have been sent to him or there should have been a garden from which he might eat.' Not only that, these unjust people say, 'You follow none but a (mere) man who is given food.'
9
Look, what fantastic stories they concoct with regard to you! It is therefore that they have gone astray and are unable to find a way.
10
Blessed is He Who is pleased to assign to you (at the time of the Final victory of the Muslims) better than that (garden they devise for you) gardens (of Mesopotamia) served with running streams (rivers like Euphrates, Tigris and Jihûn and Sihûn), and will also assign to you palaces (of the Persian and Byzantine Emperors, and also the treasures of Chosroes and Caesars would be placed at your feet).
11
Nay, (the real fact is) they (the disbelievers) cry lies to the Hour (of the evil doom of the disbelievers and final victory of the Muslims) and We have in store a blazing hell for him who cries lies to the Hour.
12
When it (the blazing Fire) sees them from afar, they will hear its raging and roaring.
13
And when they are thrown into some narrow place of it, chained in fetters, they will call out for (total) destruction, there and then.
14
(It will be said to them,) 'This is no time to call out for a single death, you had better call out for a series of deaths.'
15
Say, 'Is this (end) better or the everlasting Paradise which is promised to those who guard against evil and which is their due reward and (ultimate) resort.
16
They shall have there all that they desire and they will abide (in this state of bliss for ever). It is a promise binding on your Lord (and) to be always earnestly prayed for (from Him).
17
Beware of the day when He will gather them together, and the things they worship, apart from Allâh. He will ask, 'Was it you who led these servants of mine astray or did they themselves stray away from the right path?'
18
They will say, 'Holy is Your name! It did not behove us to take patrons apart from You. But You bestowed on them and their fathers the good things of life to such an extent that they gave up remembrance of You and became a ruined people.'
19
(Then We shall say to the idol-worshipers), 'Now these (deities) have given you the lie (and contradict you) with regard to what you said, so (today) you have no power to avert (the penalty) or get help (of any sort for yourselves); (remember) whosoever of you acts unjustly and goes wrong we shall make him suffer a great punishment.'
20
And We sent no Messengers before you but they surely ate food and walked in the market-places (and were human models for you to follow in every walk of life). And We try you one with another (to show) if you will (then) patiently persevere. And your Lord is ever All-Seeing.
21
Those who entertain no fear about being present before Us, nor do they expect it, say, 'Why should not the angels be sent down to us? Or we see our Lord?' They have indeed thought very highly of themselves and have exceeded all limits of transgression.
22
(Do they not realize that) the day when they will see the angels there will be no good tidings that day for those who cut off their ties (with God), and they will say (in distress), 'Would that there were some strong barrier (between us and this punishment).'
23
And We have turned (Our attention) to whatsoever attempt they have made (against Islam) and so We will render this (attempt) like thin dust particles scattered about (as it was in the battle of Badr).
24
(Only) the owners of Paradise will be better off with regard to (their) abode and happier still in respect of (their) place of repose.
25
(Call to mind) the day when the heaven shall burst and melt into raining clouds and the angels shall be made to descend in large numbers;
26
The true sovereignty that day shall belong only to the Most Gracious (God) and it shall be really a (very) hard day for the disbelievers.
27
On that day the unjust shall bite his hands (in regret); he will say, 'If only I had followed the (same) path along with the Messenger!
28
'Ah, woe is me! would that I had not made friends with so and so.
29
'He indeed led me astray from this source of rising to eminence (the Qur'ân) after it had come to me. And satan is ever a deserter of human being (in the hour of need).
30
And (on that Day) the Messenger will say, 'My Lord! my people treated even this Qur'ân (full of blessings) as (a thing) abandoned.
