قاٰلَ فَماٰ خَطْبُكُمْ اَیُّهَ
He said, ‘O messengers, what is now your errand?’ ﴾31﴿They said, ‘We have been sent toward a guilty people, ﴾32﴿that We may rain upon them stones of clay, ﴾33﴿sent for the transgressors from your Lord. ﴾34﴿So We picked out those who were in it of the faithful, ﴾35﴿but We did not find there other than one house of Muslims, ﴾36﴿and We have left therein a sign for those who fear a painful punishment.’ ﴾37﴿And in Moses [too there is a sign] when We sent him to Pharaoh with a manifest authority. ﴾38﴿But he turned away assured of his might, and said, ‘A magician or a crazy man!’ ﴾39﴿So We seized him and his hosts, and cast them into the sea, while he was blameworthy. ﴾40﴿And in ‘Ad when We unleashed upon them a barren wind. ﴾41﴿It left nothing that it came upon without making it like decayed bones. ﴾42﴿And in Thamud, when they were told, ‘Enjoy for a while.’ ﴾43﴿Then they defied the command of their Lord; so the thunderbolt seized them as they looked on. ﴾44﴿So they were neither able to rise up, nor to come to one another’s aid. ﴾45﴿And the people of Noah aforetime. Indeed, they were a transgressing lot. ﴾46﴿We have built the heaven with might, and indeed it is We who are its expanders. ﴾47﴿And We have spread out the earth, so how excellent spreaders We have been! ﴾48﴿In all things We have created pairs so that you may take admonition. ﴾49﴿‘So flee toward Allah. Indeed, I am from Him a manifest warner to you. ﴾50﴿Do not set up another god besides Allah. Indeed I am from Him a manifest warner to you.’ ﴾51﴿So it was that there did not come any apostle to those who were before them but they said, ‘A magician,’ or ‘A crazy man!’ ﴾52﴿Did they enjoin this upon one another?! Rather, they were a rebellious lot. ﴾53﴿So turn away from them, as you will not be blameworthy. ﴾54﴿And admonish, for admonition indeed benefits the faithful. ﴾55﴿I did not create the jinn and the humans except that they may worship Me. ﴾56﴿I desire no provision from them, nor do I desire that they should feed Me. ﴾57﴿Indeed it is Allah who is the All-provider, Powerful and All-strong. ﴾58﴿Indeed the lot of those who do wrong [now] will be like the lot of their [earlier] counterparts. So let them not ask Me to hasten on [that fate]. ﴾59﴿Woe to the faithless for the day they are promised! ﴾60﴿Surah At-TurMakiha49In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the Mount [Sinai], ﴾1﴿by the Book inscribed ﴾2﴿on an unrolled parchment; ﴾3﴿by the House greatly frequented; ﴾4﴿by the vault raised high, ﴾5﴿by the surging sea: ﴾6﴿indeed your Lord’s punishment will surely befall. ﴾7﴿There is none who can avert it. ﴾8﴿On the day when the sky whirls violently, ﴾9﴿and the mountains move with an awful motion: ﴾10﴿woe to the deniers on that day ﴾11﴿—those who play around in vain talk, ﴾12﴿the day when they will be shoved forcibly toward the fire of hell, [and told:] ﴾13﴿‘This is the Fire which you used to deny! ﴾14﴿Is this, then, [also] magic, or is it you who do not perceive? ﴾15﴿Enter it, and it will be the same for you whether you are patient or impatient. You are only being requited for what you used to do.’ ﴾16﴿Indeed the Godwary will be amid gardens and bliss, ﴾17﴿rejoicing because of what their Lord has given them, and that their Lord has saved them from the punishment of hell. ﴾18﴿[They will be told:] ‘Enjoy your food and drink, [as a reward] for what you used to do.’ ﴾19﴿They will be reclining on arrayed couches, and We will wed them to big-eyed houris. ﴾20﴿The faithful and their descendants who followed them in faith—We will make their descendants join them, and We will not stint anything from [the reward of] their deeds. Every person is hostage to what he has earned. ﴾21﴿We will provide them with fruits and meat, such as they desire. ﴾22﴿There they will pass from hand to hand a cup wherein there will be neither any vain talk nor sinful speech. ﴾23﴿They will be waited upon by their youths, as if they were guarded pearls. ﴾24﴿They will turn to one another, questioning each other. ﴾25﴿They will say, ‘Indeed, aforetime, we used to be apprehensive about our families. ﴾26﴿But Allah showed us favour and He saved us from the punishment of the [infernal] miasma. ﴾27﴿We used to supplicate Him aforetime. Indeed He is the All-benign, the All-merciful.’ ﴾28﴿So admonish. By your Lord’s blessing, you are not a soothsayer, nor mad. ﴾29﴿Do they say, ‘[He is] a poet, for whom we await a fatal accident’? ﴾30﴿Say, ‘Wait! I too am waiting along with you.’ ﴾31﴿Is it their intellect which prompts them to [say] this, or are they a rebellious lot? ﴾32﴿Do they say, ‘He has improvised it [himself]?’ Rather, they have no faith! ﴾33﴿Let them bring a discourse like it, if they are truthful. ﴾34﴿Were they created from nothing? Or are they [their own] creators? ﴾35﴿Did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they have no certainty! ﴾36﴿Do they possess the treasuries of your Lord? Or do they control [them]? ﴾37﴿Do they have a ladder [leading up to heaven] whereby they eavesdrop? If so, let their eavesdropper produce a manifest authority. ﴾38﴿Does He have daughters while you have sons? ﴾39﴿Do you ask them for a reward, so that they are [wary of] being weighed down with debt? ﴾40﴿Do they have [access to] the Unseen, which they write down? ﴾41﴿Do they seek to outmaneuver [Allah]? But it is the faithless who are the outmaneuvered ones! ﴾42﴿Do they have any god other than Allah? Clear is Allah of any partners that they may ascribe [to Him]! ﴾43﴿Were they to see a fragment falling from the sky, they would say, ‘A cumulous cloud.’ ﴾44﴿So leave them until they encounter the day when they will be thunderstruck, ﴾45﴿the day when their guile will not avail them in any way, nor will they be helped. ﴾46﴿Indeed there is a punishment besides that for those who do wrong, but most of them do not know. ﴾47﴿So submit patiently to the judgement of your Lord, for indeed you fare before Our eyes. And celebrate the praise of your Lord when you rise [at dawn], ﴾48﴿and also glorify Him during the night and at the receding of the stars. ﴾49﴿Surah An-NajmMakiha62In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the star when it sets: ﴾1﴿your companion has neither gone astray, nor amiss. ﴾2﴿Nor does he speak out of [his own] desire: ﴾3﴿it is just a revelation that is revealed [to him], ﴾4﴿taught him by one of great powers, ﴾5﴿possessed of sound judgement. He settled, ﴾6﴿while he was on the highest horizon. ﴾7﴿Then he drew nearer and nearer ﴾8﴿until he was within two bows’ length or even nearer, ﴾9﴿whereat He revealed to His servant whatever He revealed. ﴾10﴿The heart did not deny what it saw. ﴾11﴿Will you then dispute with him about what he saw?! ﴾12﴿Certainly he saw it yet another time, ﴾13﴿by the Lote Tree of the Ultimate Boundary, ﴾14﴿near which is the Garden of the Abode, ﴾15﴿when there covered the Lote Tree what covered it. ﴾16﴿His gaze did not swerve, nor did it overstep the bounds. ﴾17﴿Certainly he saw some of the greatest signs of his Lord. ﴾18﴿Have you considered Lat and ‘Uzza? ﴾19﴿and Manat, the third one? ﴾20﴿Are you to have males and He females? ﴾21﴿That, then, will be an unfair division! ﴾22﴿These are but names, which you have coined—you and your fathers—for which Allah has not sent down any authority. They follow nothing but conjectures and the desires of the [lower] soul, while there has already come to them the guidance from their Lord. ﴾23﴿Shall man have whatever he yearns for? ﴾24﴿Yet to Allah belong this world and the Hereafter. ﴾25﴿
