The revelation of the Book (comes) through God, the Powerful, the Aware,
3
Forgiving sin and Receiving Repentance, Stern in punishment, Wielder of Influence. There is no deity except Him; towards Him lies the Goal.
4
Only those who disbelieve will argue about God's signs; do not let their activity throughout the land deceive you.
5
Noah's folk denied it even before them, and (so did) the coalition later on. Every nation worried about their own messenger, how to catch him (off guard) . They argued with him in vain to refute the Truth. So I caught up with them and how (awful) was My punishment!
6
Thus your Lord's word will be confirmed against those who disbelieve; they (will become) inmates of the Fire.
7
The ones who uphold the Throne and anyone surrounding it hymn their Lord's praise and believe in Him. They seek forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord, You embrace everything through mercy and knowledge. Forgive those who repent and follow Your path: shield them from the torment of Hades.
8
Our Lord, show them into the gardens of eternity which You have promised them, and whoever among their forefathers, spouses and offspring have acted honorably. You are the Powerful, the Wise!
9
Shield them from evil deeds. You will show mercy on that day to anyone You shield from evil deeds. That will be the supreme Achievement!"
10
(II) The ones who disbelieve will be addressed (as follows): "God's disgust will be even greater than your own disgust is towards one another when you are called upon to believe and (still) disbelieve."
11
They will say: "Our Lord, You have let us die twice and have revived us twice, and so we (now) acknowledge our sins. Is there no way to escape from here?"
12
This has happened because you disbelieved when God was invoked in His Oneness, while if others were associated with him, you would believe. Discretion belongs to God, the Sublime, the Great.
13
He is the One Who shows you His signs and sends you down sustenance from the sky. Yet only someone who repents will bear this in mind.
14
So appeal to God sincerely; religion belongs to Him even though disbelievers may hate (to admit) it.
15
Lofty in rank, Possessor of the Throne, He drops the Spirit of His bidding on any of His servants He may wish, so he may warn about the day of the Meeting,
16
the day when they will (all) emerge. Nothing concerning them is hidden from God. Who holds control today? God Alone, the Irresistible holds it!
17
Today each soul will be rewarded for whatever it has earned. There will be no wrong (done) on that day; God is Swift in reckoning!
18
Warn them about the day of the Approach (of Doom), when hearts will leap up into their throats, to choke them. Wrongdoers will have no bosom friend nor any intercessor who will be obeyed.
19
He recognizes the furtive glance in their eyes and whatever is concealed in their minds.
20
God judges correctly while those they appeal to instead of Him do not decide a thing. God is the Alert, the Observant.
21
(III) Have they not travelled around the earth and seen what the outcome was for those who preceded them? They were even stronger than they are and left more remains on earth. God seized them because of their sins and there was no one to shield them from God.
22
That was because their own messengers were sent to them with explanations and they still disbelieved. So God seized them; He is Strong, Stern in punishment.
23
We sent Moses with Our signs and clear authority
24
to Pharaoh, Haman and Qarun. They said: "(He's) a lying magician!"
25
When he brought them the Truth from Our presence, they said: "Kill the sons of those who have believed along with him, and let their women live." Yet disbelievers' plotting only goes astray.
26
Pharaoh said: "Let me kill Moses! Let him appeal to his Lord! I fear he will change your religion or cause havoc to appear on earth."
27
Moses said: "I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord against every overbearing man who does not believe in the Day of Reckoning."
28
(IV) A man from Pharaoh's court who was a believer and had been hiding his faith said: "What, will you kill a man for merely saying: 'My Lord is God'? He has brought you explanations about your Lord. If he is a liar, then his lie falls upon himself; while if he is truthful, some of what he threatens you with will afflict you. God does not guide anyone who is a preposterous liar.
29
My folk, you hold control today as masters do on earth. Who will support us against God's might if it should ever come to us?" Pharaoh said: "I am only showing you what I see myself; I am only guiding you along the path of normal behavior."
30
the man who believed said: "My folk, I fear the same for you as (happened) on the day of the Coalition,
