1
Near to mankind has drawn their reckoning, and they, in (a state of) heedlessness, are veering away.
2
In no way does any Remembrance from their Lord come up to them a recent discourse (i.e., recently revealed) except that they listen to it (while) they are playing.
3
Diverted (are) their hearts. The ones who do injustice confer in secret among themselves, "Is this nothing except a mortal like yourselves? Will you then take to sorcery while you are beholding?" (i.e., with your eyes wide open).
4
He has said, "My Lord knows what is said (Literally: the saying) in the heaven and the earth, and He is The Ever - Hearing, The Ever - Knowing."
5
No indeed, they said, "Jumbled dreams! No indeed, he has fabricated it; no indeed, he is a poet! Then let him come up to us with a sign, as the earliest ones were sent (as Messengers)."
6
In no way did any town that We caused to perish believe before them. Would they then believe?
7
And in no way did We send before you except men to whom We revealed (the Message). So ask (This is addressed to the disbelievers) the Population of the Remembrance, in case you do not know.
8
And in no way did We make them (corporeal) forms that would not eat food, and in no way were they eternally (abiding).
9
Thereafter We sincerely (made good Our) promise to them; so We delivered them and whomever We decided (to deliver) and We caused the extravagant (ones) to perish.
10
Indeed We have already sent down to you a Book wherein is your Remembrance; will you (This is addressed to the disbelievers) then not consider?
11
And how many a town that was unjust We have shattered, and We brought into being after it another people.
12
Then, when they perceived Our violence, only then did they (run) scampering out of it.
13
Do not scamper out and return to whatever luxury you were given to live in and to your dwellings, that you would be questioned.
14
They said, "O woe to us! Surely we have been unjust."
15
So that their (unjust) plea did not cease until We made them a harvest mown down.
16
And in no way did We create the heaven and the earth and whatever is between them as playing.
17
If We had taken to Us a diversion, We would indeed have taken it to Us from very close to Us, in case We are performing (that).
18
No indeed, We hurl the Truth against the untruth; so (Truth) smashes it; then, only then does (untruth) expire. And woe to you for whatever you describe!
19
And to Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth; and whoever are in His Providence do not wax too proud to do Him worship, nor do they (grow) weary. (Or: nor do they regret)
20
They extol (Him) by night and by daytime (and) they do not flag.
21
Or even have they taken to themselves gods from the earth who make (the dead) rise up again?
22
If there were in both of them (i.e., the heaven and the earth) gods expcept Allah, indeed they would (both) suffer corruption. All Extolment be to Allah, The Lord of the Throne, above whatever they describe.
23
He will not be questioned as (to) what He performs, and they will be questioned.
24
Or even have they taken to themselves gods apart from Him? Say, "Offer your proof! This is the Remembrance of whomever are with me, and the Remembrance of whomever were before me." No indeed, most of them do not know the Truth, so they are veering away.
25
And in no way did We send (any) Messenger even before you except that We revealed to him, (saying), "There is no god except I; so worship Me."
26
And they have said, "The All-Merciful has taken to Him a child." All Extolment be to Him. No indeed, they (i.e., the messengers) are honored bondmen.
27
They do not outstrip Him in speech, and they do according to His Command.
28
He knows whatever is before them (Literally: between their hands) and whatsoever is behind them, and they do not intercede except for them with whom He is divinely satisfied, and they feel timorous in apprehension of Him.
29
And whoever of them should say, "Surely I am a god apart from Him, " then that one We recompense with Hell; thus We recompense the unjust.
30
And have not the ones who disbelieved seen that the heavens and the earth were an integrated (mass), then We unseamed them, and of water We have made every living thing? Would they then not believe?
