1
[I swear] by those who stand in ranks,
2
who relentlessly fight back
3
and recite the Reminder!
4
Verily, your God is One!
5
He is the Lord of the Heavens and earth and what is in between. He is the Lord of the Easts!
6
Verily, We have bedecked the lower sky with stars for splendor
7
and for protection against all the rebellious Satans
8
to prevent them from overhearing the Heavenly Conclave. They are assailed from everywhere,
9
and if they do not retreat, they shall get an everlasting punishment!
10
And if anyone of them steals [a single word], he will be pursued by a blinding flame!
11
— [O Muhammad!] Ask them whom it was more difficult to create: them or the other creatures We have made? Indeed, We have made them from sticky clay.
12
You wonder, but they sneer;
13
they are reminded, but they do not remember.
14
And when they see a Sign, they scoff at it
15
and say: “This is plain magic!
16
Is it possible that we shall be raised after we die and become dust and bones,
17
we, and our forefathers too?”
18
Say: “Yes, and you’ll be covered with shame!”
19
Just one Shout, and they will open their eyes,
20
and they shall say: “Woe to us, Judgment Day has come!”
21
Yes, this is the Day of Selection you used to deny!
22
[O Angels!], round up the wrong-doers, their wives and whatever they worshiped
23
besides God! Lead them on the road to the Blazing Fire,
24
then stop them and ask:
25
“What is the matter with you, why don’t you help one another?”
26
Yes, today they are submissive.
28
they say: “It’s you who forced us!”
29
[The latter] say: “No, you were faithless yourselves!
30
We had no power over you — indeed, you’re a people of rebels!
