1
The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, theWise.
2
Surely We have revealed to you the Book with the truth,therefore serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience.
3
Now, surely, sincere obedience is due to Allah (alone)and (as for) those who take guardians besides Him, (saying),We do not serve them save that they may make us nearer toAllah, surely Allah will judge between them in that in whichthey differ; surely Allah does not guide him aright who is aliar, ungrateful.
4
If Allah desire to take a son to Himself, He will surelychoose those He pleases from what He has created. Glory beto Him: He is Allah, the One, the Subduer (of all).
5
He has created the heavens and the earth with the truth;He makes the night cover the day and makes the day overtakethe night, and He has made the sun and the moon subservient;each one runs on to an assigned term; now surely He is theMighty, the great Forgiver.
6
He has created you from a single being, then made itsmate of the same (kind), and He has made for you eight ofthe cattle in pairs. He creates you in the wombs of yourmothers-- a creation after a creation-- in triple darkness; thatis Allah your Lord, His is the kingdom; there is no god butHe; whence are you then turned away?
7
If you are ungrateful, then surely Allah isSelf-sufficient above all need of you; and He does not likeungratefulness in His servants; and if you are grateful, Helikes it in you; and no bearer of burden shall bear theburden of another; then to your Lord is your return, thenwill He inform you of what you did; surely He is Cognizantof what is in the breasts.
8
And when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his Lordturning to Him frequently; then when He makes him possess afavor from Him, he forgets that for which he called upon Himbefore, and sets up rivals to Allah that he may cause (men)to stray off from His path. Say: Enjoy yourself in yourungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates ofthe fire.
9
What! he who is obedient during hours of the night,prostrating himself and standing, takes care of thehereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Arethose who know and those who do not know alike? Only the menof understanding are mindful.
10
Say: O my servants who believe! be careful of (your dutyto) your Lord; for those who do good in this world is good,and Allah's earth is spacious; only the patient will be paidback their reward in full without measure.
11
Say: I am commanded that I should serve Allah, beingsincere to Him in obedience.
12
And I am commanded that I shall be the first of thosewho submit.
13
Say: I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of agrievous day.
14
Say: Allah (it is Whom) I serve, being sincere to Him inmy obedience:
15
Serve then what you like besides Him. Say: The loserssurely are those who shall have lost themselves and theirfamilies on the day of resurrection; now surely that is theclear loss.
16
They shall have coverings of fire above them andcoverings beneath them; with that Allah makes His servantsto fear, so be careful of (your duty to) Me, O My servants!
17
And (as for) those who keep off from the worship of theidols and turn to Allah, they shall have good news,therefore give good news to My servants,
18
Those who listen to the word, then follow the best ofit; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it iswho are the men of understanding.
19
What! as for him then against whom the sentence ofchastisement is due: What! can you save him who is in thefire?
20
But (as for) those who are careful of (their duty to)their Lord, they shall have high places, above them higherplaces, built (for them), beneath which flow rivers; (thisis) the promise of Allah: Allah will not fail in (His)promise.
21
Do you not see that Allah sends down water from thecloud, then makes it go along in the earth in springs, thenbrings forth therewith herbage of various colors, then itwithers so that you see it becoming yellow, then He makes ita thing crushed and broken into pieces? Most surely there isa reminder in this for the men of understanding.
22
What! is he whose heart Allah has opened for Islam sothat he is in a light from his Lord (like the hard-hearted)?Nay, woe to those whose hearts are hard against theremembrance of Allah; those are in clear error.
23
Allah has revealed the best announcement, a bookconformable in its various parts, repeating, whereat doshudder the skins of those who fear their Lord, then theirskins and their hearts become pliant to the remembrance ofAllah; this is Allah's guidance, He guides with it whom Hepleases; and (as for) him whom Allah makes err, there is noguide for him.
24
Is he then who has to guard himself with his own personagainst the evil chastisement on the resurrection day? Andit will be said to the unjust: Taste what you earned.
25
Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore therecame to them the chastisement from whence they perceivednot.
26
So Allah made them taste the disgrace in this world'slife, and certainly the punishment of the hereafter isgreater; did they but know!
27
And certainly We have set forth to men in this Quransimilitudes of every sort that they may mind.
28
An Arabic Quran without any crookedness, that they mayguard (against evil).
29
Allah sets forth an example: There is a slave in whomare (several) partners differing with one another, and thereis another slave wholly owned by one man. Are the two alikein condition? (All) praise is due to Allah. Nay! most ofthem do not know.
30
Surely you shall die and they (too) shall surely die.
