Alif.
Lam. Ra. These are verses of the Scripture and a plain Reading. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
It
may be that those who disbelieve wish ardently that they were Muslims. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
Let
them eat and enjoy life, and let (false)
hope beguile them. They will come to know! |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
And
We destroyed no township but there was a known decree for it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
No
nation can outstrip its term nor can they lag behind. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
they say: O you unto whom the Reminder is revealed, lo! you are indeed
a madman! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Why
bring you not angels unto Us, if you are of the truthful? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
We
send not down the angels save with the Fact, and that case (the
disbelievers) would not be tolerated. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Lo!
We, even We, reveal the Reminder, and lo! We verily are its Guardian. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
We
verily sent (messengers)
before you among the factions of the men of old. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And
never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Thus
do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty: |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
They
believe not therein, though the example of the men of old has gone
before. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And
even if We opened unto them a Gate of Heaven and they kept mounting
through it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
They
would say: Our sight is wrong--nay, but we are folk bewitched. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
verily in the heaven We have set mansions of the stars, and We have
beautified it for beholders. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
And
We have guarded it from every outcast devil, |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
Save
him who steals the hearing, and them does a clear flame pursue. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
And
the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused
each seemly thing to grow therein. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And
We have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom
you provide not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And
there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And We send
it not down save in appointed measure. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And
We send the winds fertilizing, and cause water to descend from the
sky, and give it you to drink. It is not you who are the holders of
the store thereof. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
Lo!
and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the
Inheritor. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
And
verily We know the eager among you and verily We know the laggards. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Lo!
your Lord will gather them together. Lo! He is Wise, Aware
{Al-'Alim}. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Verily
We created man of potter's clay of black mud altered, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
the jinn did We create aforetime of essential fire. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
And
(remember)
when your Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am creating a mortal out
of potter's clay of black mud altered. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
So,
when I have made him and have breathed into him of My spirit, do you
fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
So
the angels fell prostrate, all of them together |
|
|
|
