Alif.
Lam. Ra. These are the verses of the Book, and a Qur'an luminous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Oft
times would those who disbelieve fain that they had been Muslims. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Leave
them thou to eat and to enjoy, and let vain hope divert them; presently
they will know. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And
We have not destroyed a town but there was therefor a decree known. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
No
community precedeth the term thereof nor doth it fall behind. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
they say: O thou unto whom the Admonition hath been sent down! verily
thou art possessed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Why
bringest thou not angels unto us if thou art of the truthtellers! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
We
send not the angels down save with judgment, and then they would not
be respited. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Verily
We! it is We who have revealed the Admonition, and verily We are the
guardians thereof. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And
assuredly We have sent apostles before thee among the sects of the
ancients. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And
not an apostle came unto them but at him they were wont to mock. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Even
so we make a way for it in the hearts of the culprits. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
They
believe not therein, and already the example of the ancients hath
gone forth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And
if We opened upon them a door of the heaven, and they passed the day
mounting thereto. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
They
would surely say: intoxicated have been our sights; aye! we are a
people enchanted. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
assuredly We have set constellations in the heaven and made it fairseeming
unto the beholders |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And
We have guarded it from every Satan damned. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Save
him who stealeth the hearing, and him there followeth a flame gleaming. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
And
the earth! We have stretched it out and have cast thereon mountains
firm, and We have caused to spring up thereon everything weighed. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And
We have appointed thereon for you livelihoods and also for those of
whom ye are not the providers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And
there is not of aught but with Us are the treasures thereof, and We
send it not down save in a measure known |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And
We send the winds fertilizing, then We send down water from the heaven
and We give it to you to drink, and thereof ye could not be the treasurers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And
verily We! it is We who give life and death, and We shall be the survivors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
And
assuredly We know those of you who have gone before and those who
will come hereafter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And
veriiy thy Lord! He will gather them, and verily He is Wise. Knowing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And
assuredly We have created human being from ringing clay of loam moulded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
the Jinn, We had created them afore of the fire of the scroching wind. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And
recall what time thy Lord said unto the angels: verily I am about
to createa man from ringing clay of loam moulded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Then
when I have formed him and breathed into him of My Spirit fall down
unto him prostrate. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
So
the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together. |
