Surah Al-A'laMakiha19In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. Celebrate the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted, ﴾1﴿who created and proportioned, ﴾2﴿who determined and guided, ﴾3﴿who brought forth the pasture ﴾4﴿and then turned it into a black scum. ﴾5﴿We shall have you recite [the Quran], then you will not forget [any of it] ﴾6﴿except what Allah may wish. Indeed, He knows the open and what is hidden. ﴾7﴿And We shall ease you into facility. ﴾8﴿So admonish, for admonition is indeed beneficial: ﴾9﴿he who fears [God] will take admonition, ﴾10﴿and the most wretched will shun it ﴾11﴿—he who will enter the Great Fire, ﴾12﴿then he will neither live in it, nor die. ﴾13﴿‘Felicitous is he who purifies himself, ﴾14﴿celebrates the Name of his Lord, and prays. ﴾15﴿But you prefer the life of this world, ﴾16﴿while the Hereafter is better and more lasting.’ ﴾17﴿This is indeed in the former scriptures, ﴾18﴿the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. ﴾19﴿Surah Al-GhashiyaMakiha26In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.Did you receive the account of the Enveloper? ﴾1﴿Some faces on that day will be humbled, ﴾2﴿wrought-up and weary: ﴾3﴿they will enter a scorching fire ﴾4﴿and made to drink from a boiling spring. ﴾5﴿They will have no food except cactus, ﴾6﴿neither nourishing, nor of avail against hunger. ﴾7﴿Some faces on that day will be joyous, ﴾8﴿pleased with their endeavour, ﴾9﴿in a lofty garden, ﴾10﴿where they will not hear any vain talk. ﴾11﴿In it is a flowing spring ﴾12﴿and raised couches, ﴾13﴿with goblets set, ﴾14﴿and cushions laid out in an array, ﴾15﴿and carpets spread out. ﴾16﴿Do they not observe the camel, [to see] how it has been created? ﴾17﴿and the sky, how it has been raised? ﴾18﴿and the mountains, how they have been set? ﴾19﴿and the earth, how it has been surfaced? ﴾20﴿So admonish—for you are only an admonisher, ﴾21﴿and not a taskmaster over them— ﴾22﴿except him who turns back and disbelieves. ﴾23﴿Him Allah will punish with the greatest punishment. ﴾24﴿Indeed to Us will be their return. ﴾25﴿Then, indeed, their reckoning will lie with Us. ﴾26﴿Surah Al-FajrMakiha30In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the Dawn, ﴾1﴿by the ten nights, ﴾2﴿by the Even and the Odd, ﴾3﴿by the night when it departs! ﴾4﴿Is there an oath in that for one possessing intellect? ﴾5﴿Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt with [the people of] ‘Ad, ﴾6﴿[and] Iram, [the city] of the pillars, ﴾7﴿the like of which was not created among cities, ﴾8﴿and [the people of] Thamud, who hollowed out the rocks in the valley, ﴾9﴿and Pharaoh, the impaler ﴾10﴿—those who rebelled [against Allah] in their cities ﴾11﴿and caused much corruption in them, ﴾12﴿so your Lord poured on them lashes of punishment. ﴾13﴿Indeed your Lord is in ambush. ﴾14﴿As for man, whenever his Lord tests him, and grants him honour, and blesses him, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me.’ ﴾15﴿But when He tests him and tightens for him his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’ ﴾16﴿No indeed! No, you do not honour the orphan, ﴾17﴿and do not urge the feeding of the needy. ﴾18﴿You eat the inheritance rapaciously, ﴾19﴿and love wealth with much fondness. ﴾20﴿No indeed! When the earth is levelled to a plain, ﴾21﴿and your Lord [’s edict] arrives with the angels in ranks, ﴾22﴿the day when hell is brought [near], man will take admonition on that day, but what will that admonition avail him? ﴾23﴿He will say, ‘Alas, had I sent ahead for my life [in the Hereafter]!’ ﴾24﴿On that day none shall punish as He punishes, ﴾25﴿and none shall bind as He binds. ﴾26﴿‘O soul at peace! ﴾27﴿Return to your Lord, pleased and pleasing! ﴾28﴿Then enter among My servants, ﴾29﴿and enter My paradise!’ ﴾30﴿Surah Al-BaladMakiha20In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.I swear by this town, ﴾1﴿as you reside in this town; ﴾2﴿[and] by the father and him whom he begot: ﴾3﴿certainly We created man in travail. ﴾4﴿Does he suppose that no one will ever have power over him? ﴾5﴿He says, ‘I have squandered immense wealth.’ ﴾6﴿Does he suppose that no one sees him? ﴾7﴿Have We not made for him two eyes, ﴾8﴿a tongue, and two lips, ﴾9﴿and shown him the two paths [of good and evil]? ﴾10﴿Yet he has not embarked upon the uphill task. ﴾11﴿And what will show you what is the uphill task? ﴾12﴿[It is] the freeing of a slave, ﴾13﴿or feeding, during days of [general] starvation, ﴾14﴿an orphan among relatives ﴾15﴿or a needy man in desolation, ﴾16﴿while being one of those who have faith and enjoin one another to patience, and enjoin one another to compassion. ﴾17﴿They are the People of the Right Hand. ﴾18﴿But those who defy Our signs, they are the People of the Left Hand. ﴾19﴿A closed Fire will be [imposed] upon them. ﴾20﴿Surah Ash-ShamsMakiha15In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the sun and her forenoon splendour, ﴾1﴿by the moon when he follows her, ﴾2﴿by the day when it reveals her, ﴾3﴿by the night when it covers her, ﴾4﴿by the sky and Him who built it, ﴾5﴿by the earth and Him who spread it, ﴾6﴿by the soul and Him who fashioned it, ﴾7﴿and inspired it with [discernment between] its virtues and vices: ﴾8﴿one who purifies it is felicitous, ﴾9﴿and one who betrays it fails. ﴾10﴿The [people of] Thamud denied [Allah’s signs] out of their rebellion, ﴾11﴿when the most wretched of them rose up. ﴾12﴿The apostle of Allah had told them, ‘This is Allah’s she-camel, let her drink!’ ﴾13﴿But they impugned him and hamstrung her. So their Lord took them unawares by night because of their sin, and levelled it. ﴾14﴿And He does not fear its outcome. ﴾15﴿Surah Al-LailMakiha21In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the night when it envelops, ﴾1﴿by the day when it brightens, ﴾2﴿by Him who created the male and the female: ﴾3﴿your endeavours are indeed diverse. ﴾4﴿As for him who gives and is Godwary ﴾5﴿and confirms the best promise, ﴾6﴿We will surely ease him toward facility. ﴾7﴿But as for him, who is stingy and self-complacent, ﴾8﴿and denies the best promise, ﴾9﴿We will surely ease him toward hardship. ﴾10﴿His wealth will not avail him when he perishes. ﴾11﴿Indeed guidance rests with Us, ﴾12﴿and to Us belong the world and the Hereafter. ﴾13﴿So I warn you of a blazing fire, ﴾14﴿which none shall enter except the most wretched [of persons] ﴾15﴿—he who impugns [God’s prophets] and turns his back. ﴾16﴿The Godwary [person] will be spared of that ﴾17﴿—he who gives his wealth to purify himself ﴾18﴿and does not expect any reward from anyone, ﴾19﴿but seek only the pleasure of their Lord, the Most Exalted, ﴾20﴿and, surely, soon they will be well-pleased. ﴾21﴿Surah Ad-DhuhaMakiha11In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the morning brightness, ﴾1﴿and by the night when it is calm! ﴾2﴿Your Lord has neither forsaken you, nor is He displeased with you, ﴾3﴿and the Hereafter shall be better for you than the world. ﴾4﴿Soon your Lord will give you [that with which] you will be pleased. ﴾5﴿Did He not find you an orphan, and shelter you? ﴾6﴿Did He not find you astray, and guide you? ﴾7﴿Did He not find you needy, and enrich you? ﴾8﴿So, as for the orphan, do not oppress him; ﴾9﴿and as for the beggar, do not chide him; ﴾10﴿and as for your Lord’s blessing, proclaim it! ﴾11﴿
