In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: The deities other than Allah, whom they invoked profited them, no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition!
- Such is the chastisement of thy Lord, when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: Grievous indeed and severe is His chastisement.
- In that is a Sign for those who fear the Penalty of the Hereafter: That is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: That will be a Day of Testimony.
- Nor shall We delay it, but for a term appointed.
- The day it arrives, no soul shall speak except His leave: Of those (gathered), some will be wretched and some will be blessed.
- Those who are wretched, shall be in the Fire: There will be for them therein, (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs:
- They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: For thy Lord is the (sure) Accomplisher of what He planneth.
- And those who are blessed, shall be in the Garden: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: A gift without break.
- Be not then in doubt, as to what these men worship. They worship nothing, but what their fathers worshipped before (them): But verily We shall pay them back (in full) their portion without (the least) abatement.
- We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein: Had it not been that a Word had gone forth before from thy Lord, the matter would have been decided between them: But they are in suspicious doubt concerning it.
- And of a surety to all will your Lord, pay back (in full the recompense) of their deeds: for He knoweth well, all that they do.
- Therefore stand firm (in the straight path), as thou art commanded thou, and those who with thee turn (unto Allah); and transgress not (from the Path): For He seeth well all that ye do.
- And incline not to those who do wrong or the Fire will seize you; and ye have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall ye be helped.
- And establish regular prayers at the two ends of the day, and at the approaches of the night: For those things that are good, remove those that are evil: Be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord):
- And be steadfast in patience; for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish.
- Why were there not among the generations before you persons possessed of balanced good sense prohibiting (men) from mischief in the earth, except a few among them whom We saved (from harm)? But the wrongdoers pursued the enjoyment of the good things of life which were given them and persisted in sin.
- Nor would thy Lord be the One to destroy communities for a single wrongdoing, if its members were likely to mend.
- If thy Lord had so willed, He could have made mankind one People: But they will not cease to dispute;
- Except those on whom, He hath bestowed His Mercy: And for this did He create them: And the Word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: "I will fill Hell with jinns and men all together."
- All that We relate to thee of the stories of the Apostles with it We make firm thy heart: In them there cometh to thee, the Truth as well as an exhortation and a message of remembrance to those who believe.
- Say to those who do not believe: "Do whatever ye can: we shall do our part;"
- "And wait ye! we too shall wait."
- To Allah do belong the unseen (secrets) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him goeth back every affair (for decision): Then worship Him, and put thy trust in Him: And thy Lord is not unmindful of aught that ye do.
