In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- By those who range themselves in ranks.
- And so are strong in repelling (evil)
- And thus proclaim the message (of Allah)!
- Verily verily your Allah is One!
- Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
- We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars
- (For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits.
- (So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side.
- Repulsed for they are under a perpetual penalty.
- Except such as snatch away something by stealth and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.
- Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!
- Truly dost thou marvel while they ridicule
- And when they are admonished pay no heed
- And when they see a Sign turn it to mockery
- And say "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
- "What! when we die and become dust and bones shall we (then) be raised up (again)?
- "And also our fathers of old?"
- Say thou: "Yea and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
- Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold they will begin to see!
- They will say "Ah! woe to us! This is the Day of Judgement!"
- (A voice will say) "This is the Day of Sorting Out whose truth ye (once) denied!"
- -Bring ye up" it shall be said "The wrongdoers and their wives and the things they worshipped
- "Besides Allah and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
- "But stop them for they must be asked:
- " `What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?' "
