1
Blessed is the One, Who sent Salvation to His servant, making it a Warning to the Worlds.
2
The Sovereign of Heavens and earth has not taken a son for Himself, and He has no partner in His Dominion. He has created all things and proportioned them well.
3
Yet you have taken to some gods besides Him who didn’t create anything and have been created themselves. They can neither hurt nor benefit themselves, They have no control over death, life, and resurrection.
4
The disbelievers say: “It’s just a fabrication he has contrived with the help of other people.” But they are the ones who brought out evil and falsehood!
5
They also say: “These are tales of the old, written at his request, that are read to him mornings and evenings.”
6
Say: “[The Koran] has been sent down by the One, Who knows the secret of Heavens and earth. Verily, He’s forgiving and merciful!”
7
They say: “What kind of a Messenger is he, if he eats food and walks the markets? And why wasn’t an Angel sent down to join him in warning?
8
[Why] wasn’t he given a treasure or a garden, which would’ve fed him?” The wrong-doers [also] say: “The one you follow is nothing but a man bewitched!”
9
See, to whom they are comparing you! They have gone astray and cannot find a way out!
10
Blessed be the One, Who, if He willed, could give you something better — gardens under which the rivers flow, or build castles for you!
11
But no, they deny the Hour [of Judgment], and for those who deny the Hour We have prepared a blazing Fire.
12
When it spots them from afar, they will hear its raging howl.
13
They shall be thrown into it, chained together, in a narrow space where they will wish to die.
14
On that Day, you will wish to die not only once, you will wish to die several times!
15
Say: “Is this better than the eternal Garden promised to the God-fearing, which is going to be their reward and destination?
16
They’ll receive there whatever they wish; they’ll abide there for ever, as your Lord has promised them in response to their prayers.”
17
On the Day He gathers them together with those they have been serving besides God, He will say to them: — Are you the ones who led My servants astray, or they have lost their way themselves?
18
They shall say: “Glory to You! We shouldn’t have taken protectors besides You! But you allowed their fathers to enjoy [life] for so long that they forgot the Warning and became a lost people.”
19
— Now that it became clear that your words are lies, you will not be able to avert [punishment] nor receive help. To those of you who committed evil, We will give a taste of the great punishment.
20
We had never sent Messengers before you who would not eat food and walk the markets. Of some of you We made a test for the others, but will you have enough patience? Indeed, your Lord sees [everything]!
21
Those who do not hope to meet with Us, say: “If only Angels had been sent down to us, or if we could see our Lord [with our own eyes]!” They are so swollen with pride that they have rebelled in a great rebellion!
22
The Day they see the Angels, that Day shall not be good news for the sinners. [The Angels] shall say: “You’re facing a barrier you won’t be able to surmount!”
23
Then We will consider their deeds and scatter them like dust!
24
But on that Day, the dwellers of the Garden shall be in the best abode, the best resting place.
25
On that Day the sky and the clouds shall be rent asunder, and the Angels shall descend in ranks.
26
On that Day the Dominion of Truth shall belong to the Compassionate. Harsh shall be that Day for the disbelievers!
27
On that Day the wrong-doer shall bite his hands and say: “Oh, woe to me! It would’ve been better if I had followed the way of the Messenger!
28
Oh, woe to me! If had never had such a friend!
29
When the Warning came to me, Satan led me astray. Surely he is a traitor to man!”
30
And the Messenger shall say: “O my Lord! My people have indeed taken this Koran for nonsense!”
