A revelation from (God), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
3
a Book whose revelations are well expounded, an Arabic Quran for people who possess knowledge,
4
proclaiming good news and a warning. Yet most of them turn away and so do not listen.
5
And they say, 'Our hearts are encased against that to which you call us, and there is a heaviness in our ears, and there is a barrier between us, so do as you will and so shall we.'
6
Say, 'I am only a human being like yourselves. It has been revealed to me that your God is One God. So take the straight path to Him and ask His forgiveness.' Woe to those who associate others with Him,
7
who do not pay the zakat, and who deny the Hereafter.
8
'The ones who believe and perform good deeds shall have a reward which will never be withheld from them.'
9
Say, 'What! Do you indeed deny Him who created the earth in two Days (periods) and do you set up equals with Him? He is the Lord of the Universe.'
10
He placed firm mountains on the earth, and blessed it. He measured out its means of sustenance all in four Days; this is for those who ask for it.
11
Then He turned to heaven when it was vapour and said to it and to the earth, 'Come willingly or unwillingly.'They both said, 'We come willingly,'
12
and in two Days He formed seven heavens, and revealed to each heaven its functions; and We adorned the lower heaven with brilliant lamps (stars) and guarded it. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All Knowing.
13
If they turn away, then say, 'I warn you of a lightning-bolt like the one which struck the 'Ad and the Thamud:
14
when the messengers came to them from before them and behind them, saying, “Worship none but God!” They said, “If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down angels (to us). Therefore, we shall never believe in your message.”'
15
As for the tribe of 'Ad, they behaved arrogantly in the land without any justification and said, 'Who is mightier than we in power?' Did they not see that God, who created them, was mightier than they in power? Still they continued to deny Our signs,
16
so We let loose upon them a raging wind over several inauspicious days, so that We might make them taste the torment of humiliation in the life of this world, and surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more humiliating. They shall have none to help them.
17
As for the Thamud We offered them Our guidance, but they preferred blindness to guidance. So the lightning-bolt of the punishment of humiliation seized them on account of their misdeeds.
18
We saved those who had attained to faith and were God-fearing.
19
On the Day that the enemies of God shall be gathered together and driven to the Fire, they shall be formed into groups, and
20
when they come close to it, their ears, eyes and skins will testify against them for their misdeeds.
21
And they will ask their skins, 'Why did you bear witness against us?' and their skins will reply, 'God, who gives speech to all things, has given speech to us (as well)it was He who created you in the first instance and to Him you are (now) brought back
22
you could not hide yourselves from your ears and your eyes and your skins to prevent them from testifying against you, and you thought that God would never know much of what you did,
23
but these thoughts which you entertained concerning your Lord, have brought you to destruction, and (now) you are among the utterly lost!'
24
Even if they are patient, the Fire will still be their homes. And if they pray to be allowed to make amends, they will not be allowed to do so.
25
We assigned to them companions who made their doings appear fair to them. But the same decree (of punishment) proved true against them, which had proved true against nations of jinn and mankind who passed away before them. Surely they were the losers.
26
Those who deny the truth say, 'Do not listen to this Quran. Drown it out with noise, so that you may gain the upper hand.'
27
Therefore, We will most certainly make those who are bent on denying the truth taste a severe punishment and We will most certainly requite them according to the worst of their deeds
28
that is the reward of the enemies of Godthe Fire will be their everlasting home, a reward for their rejection of Our revelations.
29
Those who deny the truth will say, 'Our Lord, show us those jinn and men who misled us and we shall trample them underfoot, so that they may be among the lowest of the low.'
30
As for those who affirm, 'Our Lord is God,' and then remain steadfast, the angels will descend on them, saying, 'Have no fear and do not grieve. Rejoice in the (good news of the) Garden that you have been promised.
