Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe

2

You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman

3

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted

4

And indeed, you are of a great moral character

5

So you will see and they will see

6

Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil]

7

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided

8

Then do not obey the deniers

9

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you]

10

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

11

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip

12

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful

13

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender

14

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children

15

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples

16

We will brand him upon the snout

17

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning

18

Without making exception

19

So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep

20

And it became as though reaped

21

And they called one another at morning

22

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit

23

So they set out, while lowering their voices

24

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person

25

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able

26

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost

27

Rather, we have been deprived

28

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]

29

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers

30

Then they approached one another, blaming each other

31

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors

32

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous

33

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew

34

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure

35

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals

36

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge

37

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

38

That indeed for you is whatever you choose

39

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge

40

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible

41

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful

42

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able

43

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound

44

So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know

45

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm

46

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down

47

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down

48

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed

49

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured

50

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous

51

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad

52

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds
