51 You may defer any of them you wish, and receive any of them you wish. Should you desire any of those you had deferred, there is no blame on you. This is more proper, so that they will be comforted, and not be grieved, and be content with what you have given each one of them.

Allah knows what is within your hearts. Allah is Omniscient and Clement.

52 Beyond that, no other women are permissible for you, nor can you exchange them for other wives, even if you admire their beauty, except those you already have. Allah is Watchful over all things.

44 Whoever Allah leaves astray has no protector apart from Him. And you will see the transgressors, when they see the torment, saying, “Is there a way of going back?”

45 And you will see them exposed to it, cowering from disgrace, looking with concealed eyes. Those who believed will say, “The losers are those who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection.”

Indeed, the evildoers are in a lasting torment.

That no soul bears the burdens of another soul.

39 And that the human being attains only what he strives for.

40 And that his efforts will be witnessed.

41 Then he will be rewarded for it the fullest reward.

42 And that to your Lord is the finality.

38

43 And that it is He who causes laughter and weeping.

44 And that it is He who gives death and life.

45 And that it is He who created the two kinds—the male and the female.

46 From a sperm drop, when emitted.

47 And that upon Him is the next existence.

48 And that it is He who enriches and impoverishes.

49 And that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius.

50 And that it is He who destroyed the first Aad.

Iron

25 We sent Our messengers with the clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that humanity may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, in which is violent force, and benefits for humanity. That Allah may know who supports Him and His messengers invisibly. Allah is Strong and Powerful.

26 We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line Prophethood and the Scripture. Some of them are guided, but many of them are sinners.

Then We sent in their wake Our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented—We did not ordain it for them—only to seek Allah’s approval.

But they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of them are sinful.

28 O you who believe! Fear Allah, and believe in His Messenger: He will give you a double portion of His mercy, and will give you a light by which you walk, and will forgive you.

Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

And those who, before them, had settled in the homeland, and had accepted faith. They love those who emigrated to them, and find no hesitation in their hearts in helping them. They give them priority over themselves, even if they themselves are needy. Whoever is protected from his natural greed—it is they who are the successful.

10 And those who came after them, saying, “Our Lord, forgive us, and our brethren who preceded us in faith, and leave no malice in our hearts towards those who believe.

Our Lord, You are Clement and Merciful.”

11 Have you not considered those who act hypocritically? They say to their brethren who disbelieved among the People of the Book, “If you are evicted, we will leave with you, and will not obey anyone against you; and should anyone fight you, we will certainly support you.”

But Allah bears witness that they are liars.

We supported those who believed against their foe, so they became dominant.

Or add to it; and chant the Quran rhythmically.

6 The vigil of night is more effective, and better suited for recitation.

7 In the daytime, you have lengthy work to do.

8 So remember the Name of your Lord, and devote yourself to Him wholeheartedly.

25 Realizing that a back-breaker has befallen them.

26 Indeed, when it has reached the breast-bones.

27 And it is said, “Who is the healer?”

And He realizes that it is the parting.

29 And leg is entwined with leg.

Does man think that he will be left without purpose?

37 Was he not a drop of ejaculated semen?

38 Then he became a clot. And He created and proportioned?

39 And made of him the two sexes, the male and the female?

29 “Proceed to what you used to deny.”

30 “Proceed to a shadow of three different masses.”

31 Offering no shade, and unavailing against the flames.

٣٢

32

It shoots sparks as castles.

٣٣

33

As if they were yellow camels.

Woe on that Day to the liars.

The Day of Sorting has been appointed.

18 The Day when the Trumpet is blown, and you will come in droves.

19 And the sky is opened up, and becomes gateways.

20 And the mountains are set in motion, and become a mirage.

21 Hell is lying in ambush.

17

22

For the oppressors, a destination.

23

Where they will remain for eons.

24 They will taste therein neither coolness, nor drink.

25 Except boiling water, and freezing hail.

26 A fitting requital.

27 For they were not anticipating any reckoning.

28

And they denied Our signs utterly.

29 But We have enumerated everything in writing.

30 So taste! We will increase you only in suffering.

The Snatchers And those who regulate events.

On the Day when the Quake quakes.

7 And is followed by the Successor.

Hearts on that Day will be pounding.

9 Their sights downcast.

8

10 They say, “Are we to be restored to the original condition?

11 When we have become hollow bones?”

12 They say, “This is a losing proposition.”

13 But it will be only a single nudge.

14

And they will be awake.

Has the story of Moses reached you?

16 When His Lord called out to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa.

17 “Go to Pharaoh—he has transgressed.”

18 And say, “Do you care to be cleansed?

15

19 And I will guide you to your Lord, and you will turn reverent.”

20 He showed him the Greatest Miracle.

21 But he denied and defied.

22

Then turned his back, and tried.

23

And gathered and proclaimed.

He said, “I am your Lord, the most high.”

The Defrauders

4 Do these not know that they will be resurrected?

5 For a Great Day?

The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?

7 Not at all. The record of the wicked is in Sijjeen.

8 But how can you know what Sijjeen is?

9 A numerical book.

6

10

Woe on that Day to the deniers.

Those who deny the Day of Reckoning.

12 But none denies it except the sinful aggressor.

13 When Our revelations are recited to him, he says, “Legends of the ancients.”

11

14 Not at all. Their hearts have become corroded by what they used to earn.

15 Not at all. On that Day, they will be screened from their Lord.

16 Then they will roast in Hell.

Then it will be said, “This is what you used to deny.”

18 No indeed; the record of the righteous is in Elliyyeen.

19 But how can you know what Elliyyoon is?

20 A numerical book.

17

21

Witnessed by those brought near.

22 Indeed, the righteous will be amid bliss.

Its mixture is of Tasneem.

A spring from which those brought near drink.

29 Those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

28

30 And when they passed by them, they would wink at one another.

31 And when they went back to their families, they would go back exulting.

32 And if they saw them, they would say, “These people are lost.”

33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

34 But on that Day, those who believed will laugh at the unbelievers.

35 On luxurious furnishings, looking on.

36 Have the unbelievers been repaid for what they used to do?

6 O man! You are laboring towards your Lord, and you will meet Him. 4

As for him who is given his book in his right hand.

8 He will have an easy settlement.

7

And will return to his family delighted.

10 But as for him who is given his book behind his back.

11 He will call for death.

And will enter the Blaze.

Do they not look at the camels— how they are created?

18 And at the sky—how it is raised?

21 So remind. You are only a reminder.

22 You have no control over them.

25 To Us is their return.

10 And Pharaoh of the Stakes.

Morning Light

Your Lord did not abandon you, nor did He forget.

The Hereafter is better for you than the First.

5 And your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied.

6 Did He not find you orphaned, and sheltered you?

7 And found you wandering, and guided you?

8 And found you in need, and enriched you?

9 Therefore, do not mistreat the orphan.

10 Nor rebuff the seeker.

11 But proclaim the blessings of your Lord.
