1

By those [angels] lined up in rows

2

And those who drive [the clouds]

3

And those who recite the message

4

Indeed, your God is One

5

Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises

6

Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars

7

And as protection against every rebellious devil

8

[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side

9

Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment

10

Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness]

11

Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay

12

But you wonder, while they mock

13

And when they are reminded, they remember not

14

And when they see a sign, they ridicule

15

And say, "This is not but obvious magic

16

When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected

17

And our forefathers [as well]

18

Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible

19

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing

20

They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense

21

[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny

22

[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship

23

Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire

24

And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned

25

[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other

26

But they, that Day, are in surrender

27

And they will approach one another blaming each other

28

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right

29

The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers

30

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people

31

So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment]

32

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators

33

So indeed they, that Day, will be sharing in the punishment

34

Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals

35

Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant

36

And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet

37

Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers

38

Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment

39

And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do

40

But not the chosen servants of Allah

41

Those will have a provision determined

42

Fruits; and they will be honored

43

In gardens of pleasure

44

On thrones facing one another

45

There will be circulated among them a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring

46

White and delicious to the drinkers

47

No bad effect is there in it, nor from it will they be intoxicated

48

And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes

49

As if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected

50

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other

51

A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]

52

Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe

53

That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed

54

He will say, "Would you [care to] look

55

And he will look and see him in the midst of the Hellfire

56

He will say, "By Allah, you almost ruined me

57

If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell]

58

Then, are we not to die

59

Except for our first death, and we will not be punished

60

Indeed, this is the great attainment

61

For the like of this let the workers [on earth] work

62

Is Paradise a better accommodation or the tree of zaqqum

63

Indeed, We have made it a torment for the wrongdoers

64

Indeed, it is a tree issuing from the bottom of the Hellfire

65

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils

66

And indeed, they will eat from it and fill with it their bellies

67

Then indeed, they will have after it a mixture of scalding water

68

Then indeed, their return will be to the Hellfire

69

Indeed they found their fathers astray

70

So they hastened [to follow] in their footsteps

71

And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples

72

And We had already sent among them warners

73

Then look how was the end of those who were warned

74

But not the chosen servants of Allah

75

And Noah had certainly called Us, and [We are] the best of responders

76

And We saved him and his family from the great affliction

77

And We made his descendants those remaining [on the earth]

78

And left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

79

Peace upon Noah among the worlds

80

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

81

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

82

Then We drowned the disbelievers

83

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham

84

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

85

[And] when he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship

86

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allah you desire

87

Then what is your thought about the Lord of the worlds

88

And he cast a look at the stars

89

And said, "Indeed, I am [about to be] ill

90

So they turned away from him, departing

91

Then he turned to their gods and said, "Do you not eat

92

What is [wrong] with you that you do not speak

93

And he turned upon them a blow with [his] right hand

94

Then the people came toward him, hastening

95

He said, "Do you worship that which you [yourselves] carve

96

While Allah created you and that which you do

97

They said, "Construct for him a furnace and throw him into the burning fire

98

And they intended for him a plan, but We made them the most debased

99

And [then] he said, "Indeed, I will go to [where I am ordered by] my Lord; He will guide me

100

My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous

101

So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy

102

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast

103

And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead

104

We called to him, "O Abraham

105

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

106

Indeed, this was the clear trial

107

And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice

108

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

109

Peace upon Abraham

110

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

111

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

112

And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous

113

And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself

114

And We did certainly confer favor upon Moses and Aaron

115

And We saved them and their people from the great affliction

116

And We supported them so it was they who overcame

117

And We gave them the explicit Scripture

118

And We guided them on the straight path

119

And We left for them [favorable mention] among later generations

120

Peace upon Moses and Aaron

121

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

122

Indeed, they were of Our believing servants

123

And indeed, Elias was from among the messengers

124

When he said to his people, "Will you not fear Allah

125

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators

126

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers

127

And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment]

128

Except the chosen servants of Allah

129

And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations

130

Peace upon Elias

131

Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good

132

Indeed, he was of Our believing servants

133

And indeed, Lot was among the messengers

134

[So mention] when We saved him and his family, all

135

Except his wife among those who remained [with the evildoers]

136

Then We destroyed the others

137

And indeed, you pass by them in the morning

138

And at night. Then will you not use reason

139

And indeed, Jonah was among the messengers

140

[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship

141

And he drew lots and was among the losers

142

Then the fish swallowed him, while he was blameworthy

143

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah

144

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected

145

But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill

146

And We caused to grow over him a gourd vine

147

And We sent him to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more

148

And they believed, so We gave them enjoyment [of life] for a time

149

So inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Does your Lord have daughters while they have sons

150

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses

151

Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say

152

Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars

153

Has He chosen daughters over sons

154

What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement

155

Then will you not be reminded

156

Or do you have a clear authority

157

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful

158

And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment]

159

Exalted is Allah above what they describe

160

Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin]

161

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship

162

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

163

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire

164

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position

165

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]

166

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah

167

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say

168

If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples

169

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah

170

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know

171

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers

172

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

173

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome

174

So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time

175

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see

176

Then for Our punishment are they impatient

177

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned

178

And leave them for a time

179

And see, for they are going to see

180

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe

181

And peace upon the messengers

182

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds
