Nun. By the Pen and what they write down!
2
By the blessing of your Lord, you are not mad.
3
You will have a wage which never-fails.
4
Indeed you are truly vast in character.
5
So you will see and they will see
7
Your Lord knows best who is misguided from His Way and He knows best those who are guided.
8
So do not obey those who deny the truth.
9
They wish that you would conciliate them, then they too would be conciliating.
10
But do not obey any vile swearer of oaths,
11
any backbiter, slandermonger,
12
impeder of good, evil aggressor,
13
gross, coarse and furthermore, despicable,
14
simply because he possesses wealth and sons.
15
When Our Signs are recited to him, he says, 'Just myths of previous peoples!'

18
but did not say the redeeming words, 'If Allah wills'.
19
So a visitation from your Lord came upon it while they slept
20
and in the morning it was like burnt land stripped bare.
21
In the morning they called out to one another,
22
'Leave early for your land if you want to pick the fruit.'
23
So they set off, quietly saying to one another,
24
'Do not let any poor man into it today while you are there.'
25
They left early, intent on carrying out their scheme.
26
But when they saw it, they said, 'We must have lost our way.
27
No, the truth is we are destitute!'
28
The best of them said, 'Did I not say to you, “Why do you not glorify Allah?”'
29
They said, 'Glory be to our Lord! Truly we have been wrongdoers.'
30
They turned to face each other in mutual accusation.
