(I) A.L.R. These are verses from the Book, and a clear Reading.
2
Perhaps those who disbelieve would like to become Muslims.
3
Leave them eating and enjoying themselves; let hope distract them, for they soon will know (anyhow).
4
We have never wiped out any town unless it had (received) a known term;
5
no nation can forestall its deadline, nor will they ever postpone it.
6
Yet they say: "You to whom the Reminder has been sent down, why you're crazy!
7
Why don't you bring us angels if you are so truthful?"
8
We do not send down any angels except with the Truth, and even then they would not be allowed to wait.
9
We Ourself have sent down the Reminder just as We are safeguarding it.
10
Even before you, We sent (some) down among the sects of early people;
11
yet no messenger ever came to them whom they did not sneer at.
12
Thus We slip it into criminals' hearts;
13
they will not believe in it, even though the custom of early people has already preceded it.
14
Even though We opened up a gate to Heaven for them so they might keep on climbing into it
15
they still would say: "Our eyesight has been dazzled-in fact, we are enchanted folk!"
16
(II) We have placed constellations in the sky and embellished it for onlookers.
17
We have safeguarded them against every outcast Satan
18
except for such as may try to eavesdrop, so a blazing meteor follows him.
19
Earth have We spread out and cast headlands upon it, and planted a bit of everything to grow there (so it is)well balanced.
20
We have placed various means of livelihood on it for (all of)you as well as anyone you do not have to provide for.
21
There is nothing whose stores are not(controlled) by Us, and We send it down only according to a fixed quantity.
22
We send forth fertilizing winds and send down water from the sky and offer you something to drink from it. You are not the ones who store it up.
23
We give life and bring death, and We are the Heirs (to everything)!
24
We know which of you try to get ahead and We know those who hold back.
25
Your Lord will summon them; He is Wise, Aware.
26
(III) We created man from ringing clay, from moulded slime;
27
while the sprites We had created earlier from smokeless fire.
28
So your Lord told the angels: "I am about to create a human being from ringing clay, from moulded slime.
29
When I have finished with him and breathed some of My spirit into him, then drop down on your knees before him."
30
The angels all bowed down together
