1-30 | 31-52

1. Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture which We have revealed unto you (Muhammad) that thereby you mayst bring forth mankind from darkness unto light, by the permission of their Lord, unto the path of the Mighty, the Owner of Praise.
2. Allah, unto Whom belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And woe unto the disbelievers from an awful doom.
3. Those who love the life of the world more than the Hereafter, and debar (men) from the way of Allah and would have it crooked: such are far astray.
4. And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his folk, that he might make (the message) clear for them. Then Allah sends whom He will astray, and guides whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
5. We verily sent Moses {Musa} with Our revelations, saying: Bring your people forth from darkness unto light. And remind them of the days of Allah. Lo! therein are revelations for each steadfast, thankful (heart).
6. And (remind them) how Moses {Musa} said unto his people: Remember Allah's favor unto you when He delivered you from Pharaoh's folk who were afflicting you with dreadful torment, and were slaying your sons and sparing your women; that was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
7. And when your Lord proclaimed: If you give thanks, I will give you more; but if you are thankless, lo! my punishment is dire.
8. And Moses {Musa} said: Though you and all who are in the earth prove thankless, lo! Allah verily is Absolute, Owner of Praise.
9. Has not the history of those before you reached you: the folk of Noah. and (the tribes of) Aad and Thamud, and those after them? None save Allah knows them. Their messengers came unto them with clear proofs, but they thrust their hands into their mouths, and said: Lo! we disbelieve in that wherewith you have been sent, and lo! we are in grave doubt concerning that to which you call us.
10. Their messengers said: Can there be doubt concerning Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you that He may forgive you your sins and reprieve you unto an appointed term. They said: You are but mortals like us, who would fain turn us away from what our fathers used to worship. Then bring some clear warrant.
11. Their messengers said unto them: We are but mortals like you, but Allah gives grace unto whom He will of His slaves. It is not ours to bring you a warrant unless by the permission of Allah. In Allah let believers put their trust!
12. How should we not put our trust in Allah when He has shown us our ways? We surely will endure that hurt you do us. In Allah let the trusting put their trust!
13. And those who disbelieved said unto their messengers: Verily we will drive you out from our land, unless you return to our religion. Then their Lord inspired them, (saying): Verily We shall destroy the wrong-doers,
14. And verily We shall make you to dwell in the land after them. This is for him who fears My Majesty and fears My threats.
15. And they sought help (from their Lord) and every froward potentate was brought to naught;
16. Hell is before him, and he is made to drink a festering water,
17. Which he sipps but can hardly swallow, and death comes unto him from every side while yet he cannot die, and before him is a harsh doom.
18. A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes which the wind blows hard upon a stormy day. They have no control of aught that they have earned. That is the extreme failure.
19. Have you not seen that Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in) some new creation.
20. And that is no great matter for Allah.
21. They all come forth unto their Lord. Then those who were despised say unto those who were scornful: We were unto you a following, can you then avert from us aught of Allah's doom? They say: Had Allah guided us, we should have guided you. Whether we rage or patiently endure is (now) all one for us: we have no place of refuge.
22. And Satan says, when the matter has been decided: Lo! Allah promised you a promise of truth; and I promised you, then failed you. And I had no power over you save that I called unto you and you obeyed me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you help me. Lo! I disbelieved in that which you before ascribed to me. Lo! for wrong-doers is a painful doom.
23. And those who believed and did good works are made to enter Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein abiding by permission of their Lord, their greeting therein: Peace!
24. See you not how Allah coins a similitude: A goodly saying, as a goodly tree, its root set firm, its branches reaching into heaven,
25. Giving its fruit at every season by permission of its Lord? Allah coins the similitudes for mankind in order that they may reflect.
26. And the similitude of a bad saying is as a bad tree, uprooted from upon the earth, possessing no stability.
27. Allah confirms those who believe by a firm saying in the life of the world and in the Hereafter, and Allah sends wrongdoers astray. And Allah does what He will.
28. Have you not seen those who gave the grace of Allah in exchange for thanklessness and led their people down to the Abode of Loss,
29. (Even to) hell? They are exposed thereto. A hapless end!
30. And they set up rivals to Allah that they may mislead (men) from His way. Say: Enjoy life (while you may) for lo! your journey's end will be the Fire.
