1
God possesses whatever is in Heaven and Earth! He knows what you (all) stand for, while He will notify them about whatever they have done on the day they are returned to Him. God is Aware of everything!
2
(I) Blessed is the One Who has sent down the Standard to His servant so he may (act as) a warner for (everyone in) the Universe,
3
the One Who holds control over Heaven and Earth, Who has not adopted any son nor has He any associate in control. He has created everything and measured it out precisely.
4
Instead of Him, they have taken on (other) gods which do not create anything while they themselves have been created. They control no harm nor do they control death nor life, nor even rebirth.
5
Those who disbelieve say: "This is only some swindle he has invented; other folk have helped him at it." They have trumped up something wrong and counterfeit.
6
They say: "He has had legends by primitive men written down; they are dictated to him in the early morning and evening!"
7
SAY: "The One Who knows the secrets of Heaven and Earth has sent it down. He is Forgiving, Merciful."
8
Yet they say: "What sort of messenger is this? He eats food and walks through the markets! If only some angel were sent down to him, to act as a warner alongside him!
9
Or a treasure were offered him, or a garden belonged to him from which he might eat." Wrongdoers say: "You are only following a man who is bewitched."
10
Watch what sort of stories they make up about you; they are lost and cannot find any way back.
11
(II) Blessed is the One Who may grant you something even better than that if He so wishes: gardens through which rivers flow. He may even grant you palaces!
12
Yet they even deny the Hour. We have prepared a Blaze for anyone who denies the Hour;
13
when it appears to them from afar off, they will hear it raging and moaning.
14
When they are flung all hitched together into a narrow part of it, they will plead to be blotted out there.
15
Do not plead to be blotted out today once and for all: plead for annihilation many times over!
16
SAY: "Is that best, or the Garden of Immortality which has been promised the heedful?" They are both a reward and a goal for them.
17
They will have anything they may wish for in it eternally; it is a promise your Lord will be held responsible for.
18
Some day He will summon them along with whatever they have been worshipping instead of God. He will say: "Were you the ones who led these servants of Mine astray, or did they stray away by themselves?"
19
They will say: "Glory be to You! We would never take on any patrons besides You! However you let them and their forefathers enjoy things until they forgot the Reminder and became a worthless folk."
20
They will reject you in anything you (all) may say, so you will not manage to avert it nor find any` support. We shall let any of you who does any wrong taste great torment.
21
We have never sent any emissaries before you unless they ate food and walked around the markets. We have placed some of them as a trial for others. Will you be patient while your Lord is Observant?
22
(III) Those who do not expect to meet Us say: "Why aren't angels sent down to us, or we are allowed to see our Lord?" They act too proud of themselves, and strut around quite insolently!
23
Some day they shall see the angels! There will be news for criminals on that day and they will say: "Oh, for a stonewall built to protect (us)!"
24
We shall advance upon whatever action they have performed and turn it into scattered dust.
25
The inhabitants of the Garden will have the best residence and finest lodging on that day,
26
on a day when the sky will split open along with its clouds, and the angels will be sent right on down.
27
True control will belong to the Mercy giving on that day. It will be a harsh day for disbelievers,
28
a day when the wrongdoer will gnaw away at his hands. He will say: "It's too bad for me! If I had only taken a pathway alongside the Messenger!
29
It's too bad for me! If I had not adopted So-and-So as a close friend!
30
He led me astray from the Reminder even after it had reached me. Satan is such a turncoat with man."
