This is the revelations from the Beneficent, Merciful God.
3
The verses of this Book have been fully expounded. It is a reading in the Arabic language for the people of knowledge.
4
It contains glad news and warnings (for the people), but most of them have ignored it and do not listen.
5
They say, "Our hearts are covered against and our ears are deaf to whatever you (Muhammad) invite us to. There is a barrier between us and you. So act as you please and we shall act as we please".
6
(Muhammad), say, "I am a mere mortal like you. I have received a revelation that your Lord is the only One. So be up-right and obedient to Him and seek forgiveness from Him.
7
Woe to the pagans, who do not pay zakat and have no faith in the life to come.
8
The righteously striving believers will have a never-ending reward".
9
Say, "Do you really disbelieve in the One Who created the earth in two days? Do you consider things equal to Him? He is the Lord of the Universe.
10
In four days He placed the mountains on it, blessed it, and equally measured out sustenance for those who seek sustenance.
11
He established His dominance over the sky, which (for that time) was like smoke. Then He told the heavens and the earth, "Take your shape either willingly or by force" They said, "We willingly obey".
12
He formed the seven heavens in two days and revealed to each one its task. He decked the sky above the earth with torches and protected it from (intruders).. Such is the design of the Majestic and All-knowing God".
13
If they ignore (your message), tell them, "I have warned you against a destructive blast of sound like that which struck the people of `Ad and Thamud.
14
When Messengers from all sides came to them saying, "Do not worship anything besides God, " they said, "Had our Lord wanted, He would have sent us angelic Messengers. We do not believe in your message".
15
The people of Ad unjustly sought dominance on earth saying, "Who is more powerful than us?" Did they not consider that God created them and that He is more powerful than they were?" They rejected Our revelations.
16
We sent upon them a violent wind during a few ill-fated days to make them suffer a disgraceful torment in this life. Their torment in the life to come will be even more disgraceful and they will not receive any help.
17
We sent guidance to the people of Thamud but they preferred blindness to guidance so a humiliating blast of torment struck them for their evil deeds.
18
We only rescued the believers who had fear of God.
19
They will be spurred on
20
until (on the brink of it) their eyes, ears and skin will testify to their deeds on the Day when the enemies of God are driven to the fire.
21
They will ask their own skin, "Why did you testify against us?" They will reply, "God, who has made everything speak, made us also speak. It was He Who created you in the first place and to Him you have returned.
22
You did not (think) to hide your deeds from your ears, eyes and skin and you felt that God would not know all that you had been doing.
23
This was how you considered your Lord, but He knows you better than you know yourselves. Thus, you are now lost".
24
Even if they were to exercise patience, their dwelling would still be hell fire. Even if they were to seek favors, they would receive none.
25
We assigned for them companions who would make their past and present (deeds) seem attractive to them. Thus, they became subject to what the jinn and human beings before were destined to suffer. They were certainly lost.
26
The disbelievers say, "Do not listen to this Quran but make a lot of unnecessary noise while it is being read so that perhaps you will defeat it".
27
We shall certainly make the unbelievers suffer severe torment and will punish them far worse than what they deserve for their deeds.
28
The recompense of the enemies of God for their rejection of Our revelations will be fire as their eternal dwelling.
29
The disbelievers will say, "Lord, show us the human beings and jinn who caused us to go astray. We shall put them under our feet to lower them".
30
To those who have said, "God is our Lord, " and who have remained steadfast to their belief, the angels will descend saying, "Do not be afraid or grieved. Receive the glad news of the Paradise which was promised to you.
