1. Glory to Him who journeyed His servant by night, from the Sacred
Mosque, to the Farthest Mosque, whose precincts We have blessed, in
order to show him of Our wonders. He is the Listener, the Beholder.
2. And We gave Moses the Scripture, and made it a guide for the
Children of Israel: Take none for protector other than Me.
3. The descendants of those We carried with Noah. He was an
appreciative servant.
4. And We conveyed to the Children of Israel inthe Scripture: You will
commit evil on earth twice, and you will riseto a great height.
5. When the first of the two promises came true, We sent against you
servants of Ours, possessing great might, and they ransacked your
homes.It was a promise fulfilled.
6. Then We gave you back your turn against them, and supplied you with
wealth and children, and made you more numerous.
7. If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for yourselves;
and if you commit evil, you do so against yourselves. Then, whenthe
second promise comes true, they will make your faces filled with
sorrow, and enterthe Temple as they entered it the first time, and
utterly destroy all that falls into their power.
8. Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert, We
will revert. We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
9. This Quran guides to what is most upright; and it gives good newsto
the believers who do good deeds, that they will have a great reward.
10. And those who do not believe in the Hereafter—We have prepared for
them a painful punishment.
11. The human being prays for evil as he prays for good. The human
being is very hasty.
12. We have made the night and the day two wonders. We erased the
wonder of the night, and made the wonder of the day revealing, that
you may seek bounty from your Lord, and know the number of years, and
the calculation. Wehave explained all things in detail.
13. For every person We have attached his fate to his neck. And onthe
Day of Resurrection, We will bring out for him a book which he will
find spread open.
14. "Read your book; today there will be none but yourself to call you
to account."
15. Whoever is guided—is guided for his own good. And whoever goes
astray—goes astray to his detriment. No burdened soul carries the
burdens of another, nor do We ever punish until We have sent a
messenger.
16. When We decide to destroy a town, We command its affluent ones,
they transgress in it, so the word becomes justified against it, and
We destroy it completely.
17. How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? Your Lord is
sufficient as Knower and Beholder of the sins of his servants.
18. Whoever desires the fleeting life, We expedite for him what We
decide to give him, to whomever We desire. Then We consign him to
Hell, where he will roast, condemned and defeated.
19. But whoever desires the Hereafter, and pursues it as it should be
pursued, while he is a believer; these—their effort willbe
appreciated.
20. To all—these and those—We extend from the gifts of your Lord. The
gifts of your Lord are not restricted.
21. See how We have favored some of them over others; yet the
Hereafter is greater in ranks, and greater in favors.
22. Do not set up another god with God, lest you become condemned and damned.
23. Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him,and that you
be good to your parents. If either of them or both of them reach old
age with you, do not say to them a word of disrespect, nor scold them,
but say to them kind words.
24. And lower to them the wing of humility, out of mercy, and say, "My
Lord, have mercy on them, as they raisedme when I was a child."
25. Your Lord knows best what is in your minds. If you are
righteous—He is Forgiving to the obedient.
26. And give the relative his rights, and the poor, and the wayfarer,
and do not squander wastefully.
27. The extravagant arebrethren of the devils, and the devil is ever
ungrateful to his Lord.
28. But if you turn awayfrom them, seeking mercy from your Lord which
you hope for, then say to them words of comfort.
29. And do not keep your hand tied to your neck, nor spread it out
fully, lest you end up liable and regretful.
30. Your Lord expands the provision for whomever He wills, and
restricts it. He is fully Informed, Observant of His servants.
31. And do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for
them, and for you. Killing them is a grave sin.
32. And do not come near adultery. It is immoral, and an evil way.
33. And do not kill the soul which God has made sacred, except inthe
course of justice. If someone is killed unjustly, We have given his
next of kin certain authority. But he should not be excessive in
killing, for he will be supported.
34. And do not go near the orphan's property, except with the best
ofintentions, until he hasreached his maturity. And honor your pledge,
because the pledge involves responsibility.
35. And give full measure when you measure, and weigh with accurate
scales. That is fair, and the best determination.
36. And do not occupy yourself with what youhave no knowledge of. The
hearing, and the sight, and the brains—all these will be questioned.
37. And do not walk proudly on earth. You can neither pierce the
earth, nor can you match the mountains in height.
38. The evil of all these is disliked by your Lord.
39. That is some of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do
notset up with God another god, or else you will be thrown in Hell,
rebuked and banished.
40. Has your Lord favored you with sons, while choosing for Himself
daughters from among the angels? You are indeedsaying a terrible
thing.
41. We have explained in this Quran in variousways, that they may
remember, but it only adds to their rebellion.
42. Say, "If there were other gods with Him, as they say, they
wouldhave sought a way to the Lord of the Throne."
43. Be He glorified. He is exalted, far above what they say.
44. Praising Him are the seven heavens, andthe earth, and everyone in
them. There is not a thing that does not glorify Him with praise, but
you do not understand their praises. He is indeed Forbearing
andForgiving.
45. When you read the Quran, We place between you and those who do not
believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.
46. And We drape veils over their hearts, preventing them from
understanding it, and heaviness in their ears.And when you mention
your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs inaversion.
47. We know well whatthey listen to, when they listen to you, as they
conspire, when the wrongdoers say, "You only follow a manbewitched."
48. Note what they compared you to. They are lost, and unable to find a way.
49. And they say, "When we have become bones and fragments, shall we
really be resurrected as a new creation?"
50. Say, "Even if you become rocks or iron.
51. Or some substance, which, in your minds, is even harder." Then
they will say, "Who will restore us?" Say, "The One who originated you
the firsttime." Then they will nod their heads at you,and say, "When
will it be?" Say, "Perhaps it will be soon."
52. On the Day when Hecalls you, you will respond with His praise, and
you will realize that you stayed only a little.
53. Tell My servants to say what is best. Satan sows discord among
them. Satan is to man an open enemy.
54. Your Lord knows you best. If He wills, He will have mercy on you;
and if He wills, He will punish you. We did not send you as their
advocate.
55. Your Lord knows well everyone in the heavens and the earth. We
have given some prophets advantage over others; and to David We gave
the Psalms.
56. Say, "Call upon those you claim besides Him. They haveno power to
relieve your adversity, nor can they change it."
57. Those they call upon are themselves seeking means of access to
their Lord, vying to be nearer, andhoping for His mercy, and fearing
His punishment. The punishment of your Lord is to be dreaded.
58. There is no city but We will destroy before the Day of
Resurrection, or punish it with a severe punishment. This is inscribed
in the Book.
59. Nothing prevents Usfrom sending miraculous signs, except that the
ancients called them lies. We gave Thamoodthe she-camel, a
visiblesign, but they mistreated her. We do not send the signs except
to instill reverence.
60. We said to you that your Lord encompasses humanity. We did not
make the vision We showed you, except as a test for the people, and
the tree cursed in the Quran. We frighten them, but that only
increases their defiance.
61. When We said to the angels, "Bow downbefore Adam," they bowed
down, except for Satan. He said, "Shall I bow down before someone You
created from mud?"
62. He said, "Do You seethis one whom You have honored more than me?
If You reprieve me until the Day of Resurrection, I will bring his
descendants under my sway, except for a few."
63. He said, "Begone! Whoever of them follows you—Hell is your reward,
an ample reward."
64. "And entice whomever of them youcan with your voice, and rally
against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in
wealth and children, and make promises to them." But Satan promises
them nothing but delusion.
65. "As for My devotees,you have no authority over them." Your Lord is
an adequate Guardian.
66. Your Lord is He whopropels for you the ships at sea, that you may
seek of His bounty. He is towards you Most Merciful.
67. When harm afflicts you at sea, those you pray to vanish, except
for Him. But when He saves you to land, you turn away. The human being
is ever thankless.
68. Are you confident that He will not cause atrack of land to cave in
beneath you, or unleash a tornado against you, and then you find no
protector?
69. Or are you confidentthat He will not return you to it once again,
and unleash a hurricane against you, and drown you for your
ingratitude? Thenyou will find no helper against Us.
70. We have honored the Children of Adam, and carried them on land and
sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them over
many of those Wecreated.
71. On the Day when We call every people with their leader. Whoever is
given his record in his right hand—these will read their record, and
they will not be wronged one bit.
72. But whoever is blind in this, he will be blind in the Hereafter,
and further astray from the way.
73. They almost lured you away from what We have revealed to you, so
that you would invent something else in Our name. In that case, they
would have taken you for a friend.
74. Had We not given you stability, you might have inclined towards
them a little.
75. Then We would have made you taste double in life, and double at
death; then you would have found for yourself no helper against Us.
76. They almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. In that
case, they would not have lasted after you, except briefly.
77. The tradition of the messengers We sent before you—you will find
no change in Our rules.
78. Perform the prayer at the decline of the sun, until the darkness
of the night; and the Quran at dawn. The Quran at dawn is witnessed.
79. And keep vigil with it during parts of the night, as an extra
prayer. Perhaps your Lord will raise you to a laudable position.
80. And say, "My Lord, lead me in through an entry of truth, and
leadme out through an exitof truth, and grant me from You a supporting
power."
81. And say, "The truth has come, and falsehood has withered away; for
falsehood is bound to wither away."
