1
Nearer and nearer comes to mankind the Accounting of their (actions); Yet they do not listen and they turn away with carelessness.
2
Not even (a little) of a new Message comes to them from their Lord, but they (only) listen to it as they play
3
Their hearts playing with petty things, the wrongdoers hide their private talk: "Is this (human, the Prophet) more than a man like yourselves? Will you go into magic while you can see?"
4
He (the Prophet) said: "My Lord knows (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on the earth: And He is All Hearing (Sami'), All Knowing (Aleem)."
5
They (the disbelievers) say, "No, (they are) confused (songs) of dreams! No, he wrote it (by himself)! No, he is (only) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like those that were sent to (prophets) of old!"
6
(As to those people) before them, not even one of the peoples whom We destroyed believed: Will these believe?
7
Also before you, the messengers we sent were only men, to whom We granted the Revelation: If you do not know this, ask those, the people of the Remainder [of the Scripture, the Torah and the Gospel)].
8
Nor did We give them bodies that did not eat food, nor were they exempt from death,
9
In the end, We kept Our promise to them, and We saved them and those whom We pleased, but destroyed those who exceeded (their) limits.
10
Indeed, We have made clear for you a Book (the Quran) in which is a Message for you (mankind): Will you not then understand?
11
How many were the populations We have totally destroyed because of their injustices, and set up in their places other peoples?
12
Then, when they felt Our Punishment (coming), look, they (tried to) run away from it.
13
Do not run away, but come back to the good things of this life given to you, and to your homes, in order that you may be called to account.
14
They said: "Oh! Woe unto us! (Misery to us)! Truly, we were wrongdoers!"
15
And that cry of theirs did not stop, until We made them like a field to be cut (down) likes ashes silent and put out.
16
And not for play did We create the heavens and earth and all that is between!
17
If it had been Our wish to make a game, we should surely have made it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing)!
18
No, We throw the truth against falsehood, and it (truth) destroys it (the falsehood), and look! Falsehood disappears! Oh! Misery be to you for the (false) things that you ascribe (to Us).
19
And to Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth: And even those who are in His Presence are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they (ever) tired (of His service):
20
They celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever get tired or slip.
21
Or have they taken (other) gods from the earth who can raise the dead?
22
In the heavens and the earth, if there were other gods besides Allah, there would have been ruin to both! But Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Throne: (High is He) above whatever they associate with Him!
23
He cannot be questioned for His actions, but they will be questioned (for theirs).
24
Or have they taken for worship (other) gods besides Him? Say: "Bring your clear proof: This is the Message of those with me and the Message of those before me." But most of them do not know the Truth, and so they turn away.
25
And not (even) one messenger did We send before you without this revelation sent by Us to him that; "There is no god but I (Allah): So worship Me."
26
And they (disbelievers) say: "(Allah), the Most Gracious (Rahmán) has begotten a son (child)." Glory to Him! They are (only) servants raised to honor.
27
They do not speak before He (Allah) speaks (to them), and they act (only) by His command.
28
He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they offer no mediation except for those for whom (the intercessions) are accepted, and they stand in fear and respect to His (Glory).
29
And if any of them should say: "Verily, I am a god besides Him," such a one We should reward with Hell: Like this We reward those who do wrong.
30
Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one), before We tore them apart? We made every living thing from water. Then, will they not believe?
