1. The believers
are indeed successful.
2. Those who are in reverence in their salat.
3. And they abstain from vain talk.
4. And they are active towards the zakat.
5. And they guard their private parts.
6. Except around their mates, or those who are their dependants, they are free
from blame.
7. But whosoever seeks anything beyond this, then those are the transgressors.
8. And those who are true to what they have been entrusted and their pledges.
9. And those who are protective over their commitments.
10. These are the inheritors.
11. The ones who shall inherit Paradise, in it they will abide.
12. We have created mankind from a special mud.
13. Then We made him a drop in a safe lodging.
14. Then We created the semen into a clot, then We created the clot into a lump,
then We created the lump into bone, then We covered the bone with flesh, then
We brought forth a new creation. So glory be to God, the best of creators.
15. Then after that, you will die.
16. Then you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection.
17. And We have created above you seven paths, and We were never unaware of
the creations.
18. And We sent down from the sky water in due measure, then We let it reside
in the land, and We are capable of taking it away.
19. So We brought forth for you gardens of palm trees and grapes, for which
you will find many fruits and from it you will eat.
20. And a tree which emerges from the mount of Sinai, it grows oil and is a
relish for those who eat.
21. And in the livestock are lessons for you. We give you to drink from what
is in its bellies, and you have many other benefits from them, and of them you
eat.
22. And on them and on the ships you are carried.
23. And We have sent Noah to his people, so he said: "O my people, serve
God, you have no other god besides Him. Will you not take heed?"
24. But the leaders who rejected from his people said: "What is this but
a human like you? He wants to make himself better than you! And if it was indeed
God's will, He would have sent down Angels. We did not hear such a thing among
our fathers of old"
25. "He is no more than a man who has madness in him. So keep watch on
him for a while"
26. He said: "My Lord, grant me victory for what they denied me"
27. So We inspired him: "Construct the Ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration.
Then, when Our command comes and the volcano erupts, then you shall take on
the Ship two from every pair and your family, except for those of them upon
whom the word has come. And do not address Me regarding those who have done
wrong, for they will be drowned"
28. So when you and those who are with you have embarked on the ship, then say:
"All praise is due to God who has saved us from the wicked people"
29. And say: "My Lord, cause me to embark upon a blessed place, for You
are the best for those who embark"
30. In this are signs, and We will always test.
31. Then We raised after them a different generation.
32. So We sent a messenger to them from amongst them: "Serve God, you have
no other god besides Him. Will you not take heed?"
33. And the leaders from amongst his people who rejected and denied the meeting
of the Hereafter; and We indulged them in this worldly life said: "What
is this but a human like you? He eats from what you eat and he drinks from what
you drink"
34. "And if you obey a human like you, then you are will indeed be losers"
35. "Does he promise you that if you die and become dust and bones that
you will be brought out?"
36. "Far fetched is what you are being promised"
37. "There is nothing but our worldly life, we die and we live, and we
will not be resurrected"
38. "He is but a man who has invented a lie against God, and we will not
believe in him"
39. He said: "My Lord, grant me victory for what they denied me"
40. He said: "In a little while they will be in regret"
41. So the scream took them with justice, and We made them as dead plants. So
away with the wicked people.
42. Then We raised after them different generations.
43. No nation can hasten its appointed time, nor can it delay.
44. Then We sent Our messengers in succession. Every time there came to a nation
their messenger, they denied him. So We made them follow one another, and We
made them history. So away with a people who do not believe!
45. Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority.
46. To Pharaoh and his leaders. But they became arrogant, for they were a high
and mighty people.
47. So they said: "Shall we believe to two humans like us, while their
people are in service to us?"
48. So they denied them, and they became of those who were destroyed.
49. And We have given Moses the Scripture, so that they may be guided.
50. And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and We gave them refuge
on high ground, a place for resting and with a flowing stream.
51. "O messengers, eat from what is good, and do righteous work. I am aware
of what you do"
52. "And this is your nation, one nation, and I am your Lord so be aware"
53. But the affair was disputed between them into pieces. Every group happy
with what it had.
54. So leave them in their error until a time.
55. Do they not think why We are extending them with wealth and children?
56. We are quick to give them the good things. But they do not perceive.
57. As for those who are in reverence from the awe of their Lord.
58. And they believe in the revelations of their Lord.
59. And they do not set up anything with their Lord.
60. And they give of what they were given, and they hearts full of reverence
that they will return to their Lord.
61. These are the ones who race in doing good, and they are the first to it.
62. And We do not burden a soul except with what it can bare. And We have a
record that speaks with the truth, they will not be wronged.
63. No, their hearts are covered from this! And they have deeds besides this
which they are doing.
64. Until We take their carefree people with the retribution, then they will
shout for help.
65. Do not shout for help today, for you will not be helped against Us.
66. My revelations were recited to you, but you used to turn back on your heels.
67. You were too proud from it, talking evil about it; and you defiantly disregarded
him.
68. Did they not ponder the words, or has what come to them not come to their
fathers of old?
69. Or did they not know their messenger? For they are in denial of him.
70. Or do they say that there is a madness in him? No, he has come to them with
the truth, but most of them are hateful of the truth.
71. And if the truth were to follow their desires, then the heavens and earth
and all who are in them would have been corrupted. No, We have come to them
with their reminder, but from their reminder they are turning away.
72. Or do you ask them for a wage? The wage of your Lord is best, and He is
the best of providers.
73. And you are inviting them to a Straight Path.
74. And those who do not believe in the Hereafter, they are deviating away from
the path.
75. And if We were to have mercy on them and remove what distress was upon them,
they would still return to persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.
76. And when We seized them with the punishment, they did not humble themselves
to their Lord nor did they invoke Him.
77. Until We open for them a door of immense retribution, then they become in
sorrow and despair.
78. And He is the One who established for you the hearing, and the sight, and
the hearts. Little do you give thanks.
79. And He is the One who multiplied you on the earth, and to Him you will be
returned.
80. And He is the One who gives life and brings death, and to Him is the alteration
of the night and the day. Do you not comprehend?
81. No, they have said the same as what the people of old had said.
82. They said: "If we are dead and become dust and bones, will we then
be resurrected?"
83. "We, as well as our fathers, have been promised this from before. This
is nothing but the tales of the ancients"
84. Say: "To whom is the earth and whosoever is in it if you know?"
85. They will say: "To God" Say: "Will you then not remember!"
86. Say: "Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the great
throne?"
87. They will say: "To God" Say: "Will you then not take heed?"
88. Say: "In whose hand is the sovereignty of all things, and He protects
while there is no protector against Him, if you know?"
89. They will say: "To God" Say: "Then why are you deceived?"
90. No, We have come to them with the truth, and they are truly liars.
91. God has not taken a son, nor is there with Him any god. If it were so, then
every god would have taken what He created and they would have tried to overtake
each other. God be glorified against what they describe!
92. The knower of the unseen and the seen. Be He exalted above what they set
up.
93. Say: "My Lord, if only You would show me what they are promised"
94. "My Lord, do not leave me amongst the wicked people"
95. And We are able to show you what We promise them.
96. Pursue evil with that which is better. We are better aware of what they
describe.
97. And say: "My Lord, I seek refuge with you from the whispers of the
devils"
98. "And I seek refuge with you O Lord that they should come near"
99. Until death comes to one of them, he says: "My Lord, send me back"
100. "So that I may do good in that which I have left behind" No,
it is but a word he is speaking. And there is a barrier to prevent them from
going back until the day they are all resurrected.
101. So when the horn is blown, then there will be no kinship between them on
that day, nor will they ask for one another.
102. So, those whose weight is heavy on the scales, then those are the successful
ones.
103. And those whose weight is light on the scales, those are the ones who lost
their souls, in Hell they will abide.
104. The Fire will scorch their faces, and in it their grin will be with displaced
lips.
105. "Were My revelations not recited to you, then you denied them?"
106. They said: "Our Lord, our wickedness overcame us, and we were a misguided
people"
107. "Our Lord, bring us out of it, and if we return to this then we are
wicked"
108. He said: "Be humiliated therein and do not speak to Me"
109. There was a groups from among My servants who used to say: "Our Lord,
we have believed, so forgive us, and have mercy upon us, for you are the best
of those who show mercy"
110. But you mocked them, so much so that they made you forget My remembrance,
and you used to laugh at them.
111. I have rewarded them today for their patience, they are indeed the winners.
112. Say: "How long have you stayed on earth in terms of years?"
113. They said: "We remained for a day, or for part of a day. So ask those
who kept count"
114. He said: "You remained for very little, if you had known"
115. "Did you think that We have created you without purpose, and that
you would not return to Us?"
116. So, exalted is God, the true King, there is no god but He, the Lord of
the supreme throne.
117. And whosoever calls on another god with God when he has no proof for such,
then his judgment is with his Lord. The rejecters will never succeed.
118. And say: "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and you are the best of
those who are merciful"
