1
Blessed be He who has revealed the criterion (the Quran) to His servant that he may warn the nations.
2
Sovereign of the heavens and the earth, who has begotten no children and who has no partner in His sovereignty, it is He who has created all things and measured them out precisely.
3
Yet they have taken, besides Him, deities who create nothing and are themselves created, and who have no power to harm, or benefit themselves and who control neither death, nor life, nor resurrection.
4
Those who deny the truth say, 'This is only a forgery of his own invention in which others have helped him.'What they say is unjust and false.
5
They say, 'It is just fables of the ancients, which he has had written down. They are dictated to him morning and evening.'
6
Say to them, 'It has been revealed by Him who knows every secret that is in the heavens and on the earth. Truly, He is most forgiving and most merciful.'
7
They say, 'What kind of a messenger is this who eats food and walks about in the marketplaces? Why has no angel been sent down with him to warn us?'
8
Or a treasure should have been sent down to him, or he should have had a garden from which to eat.' The wrongdoers say, 'You are surely following a man who is bewitched.'
9
Observe what kind of things they attribute to you. They have surely gone astray and cannot find the right way again.
10
Blessed is He who, if He please, can give you better things than that; gardens watered by flowing streams, and palaces too.
11
They deny the Hour. For those who deny that Hour, We have prepared a blazing fire.
12
When it sees them from afar, they will hear its raging and roaring.
13
When they are thrown into a narrow space, chained together, they will plead for death.
14
But they will be told, 'Do not call today for one death, call for many deaths!'
15
Say, 'Which is better, this or the Paradise of immortality which the righteous have been promised? It is their recompense and their destination.'
16
Abiding there forever, they shall find in it all that they desire. This is a binding promise which your Lord has made.
17
On the Day He gathers them all together with those they worship besides Him, He will say, 'Was it you who misled My servants, or did they stray away by themselves?'
18
They will answer, 'Hallowed be You! It was not proper for us to choose any guardian other than You. But You gave them and their fathers the comforts of this life, so that they forgot Your reminder and thus brought destruction upon themselves.'
19
(God will say), 'Now, they have given the lie to all your assertions, and you can neither ward off (your punishment) nor obtain any help.' For, whoever of you has committed evil, shall be caused by Us to taste great suffering!'
20
We never sent any messengers before you who did not eat food and walk in the market-place. We make some of you a means of trial for others, to see whether you are steadfast. Your Lord is all seeing.
21
Those who do not expect a meeting with Us say, 'Why are angels not sent down to us?' Or 'Why do we not see our Lord?' Surely, they are too proud of themselves and have greatly exceeded all bounds.
22
There will be no good tidings for the guilty on the day they see the angels; and they will cry out, 'Keep away, keep away!'
23
and We shall take all that they did and turn it into scattered dust.
24
The inhabitants of the Garden will have the best residence and the finest lodging on that Day.
25
On a Day when the sky will split open with its clouds and the angels are sent down rank upon rank,
26
true sovereignty on that Day will belong to the Gracious One, and it will be a hard Day for those who deny the truth.
27
On that Day, the wrongdoer will bite his hands and say, 'Would that I had walked in the Messenger's path!
28
Oh, would that I had never chosen such a one for my companion
29
he made me forgetful of the warning after it had reached me. Satan is man's great betrayer.'
30
The Messenger will say, 'Lord, my people did indeed discard the Quran,'
