وَمآٰ اَنْزَلْناٰ عَلٰ
After him We did not send down on his people a host from the sky, nor We would have sent down. ﴾28﴿It was but a single Cry, and, behold, they were stilled [like burnt ashes]! ﴾29﴿How regrettable of the servants! There did not come to them any apostle but that they used to deride him. ﴾30﴿Have they not regarded how many generations We have destroyed before them who will not come back to them? ﴾31﴿And all of them will indeed be presented before Us. ﴾32﴿A sign for them is the dead earth, which We revive and bring forth grain out of it, so they eat of it. ﴾33﴿We make in it orchards of date palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth in it, ﴾34﴿so that they may eat of its fruit and what their hands have cultivated. Will they not then give thanks? ﴾35﴿Immaculate is He who has created all the kinds of what the earth grows, and of themselves, and of what they do not know. ﴾36﴿A sign for them is the night, which We strip of daylight, and, behold, they find themselves in the dark! ﴾37﴿The sun runs on to its place of rest: That is the ordaining of the All-mighty, the All-knowing. ﴾38﴿As for the moon, We have ordained its phases, until it becomes like an old palm leaf. ﴾39﴿Neither it behooves the sun to overtake the moon, nor may the night outrun the day, and each swims in an orbit. ﴾40﴿A sign for them is that We carried their progeny in the laden ship, ﴾41﴿and We have created for them what is similar to it, which they ride. ﴾42﴿And if We like We drown them, whereat they have no one to call for help, nor are they rescued ﴾43﴿except by a mercy from Us and for an enjoyment until some time. ﴾44﴿And when they are told, ‘Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, so that you may receive [His] mercy…’ ﴾45﴿There does not come to them any sign from among the signs of their Lord but that they have been disregarding it. ﴾46﴿When they are told, ‘Spend out of what Allah has provided you,’ the faithless say to the faithful, ‘Shall we feed [someone] whom Allah would feed, if He wished? You are only in manifest error.’ ﴾47﴿And they say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, should you be truthful?’ ﴾48﴿They do not await but a single Cry that will seize them as they wrangle. ﴾49﴿Then they will not be able to make any will, nor will they return to their folks. ﴾50﴿And when the Trumpet is blown, behold, there they will be, scrambling towards their Lord from their graves! ﴾51﴿They will say, ‘Woe to us! Who raised us from our place of sleep?’ ‘This is what the All-beneficent had promised, and the apostles had spoken the truth!’ ﴾52﴿It will be but a single Cry, and, behold, they will all be presented before Us! ﴾53﴿‘Today no soul will be wronged in the least, nor will you be requited except for what you used to do.’ ﴾54﴿Indeed today the inhabitants of paradise rejoice in their engagements ﴾55﴿—they and their mates, reclining on couches in the shades. ﴾56﴿There they have fruits, and they have whatever they want. ﴾57﴿‘Peace!’—a watchword from the all-merciful Lord. ﴾58﴿And ‘Get apart today, you guilty ones!’ ﴾59﴿‘Did I not exhort you, O children of Adam, saying, “Do not worship Satan. He is indeed your manifest enemy. ﴾60﴿Worship Me. That is a straight path”? ﴾61﴿Certainly, he has led astray many of your generations. Have you not exercised your reason? ﴾62﴿This is the hell you had been promised! ﴾63﴿Enter it today, because of what you used to deny. ﴾64﴿Today We shall seal their mouths, and their hands shall speak to Us, and their feet shall bear witness concerning what they used to earn.’ ﴾65﴿Had We wished We would have blotted out their eyes: then, were they to advance towards the path, how would have they seen? ﴾66﴿And had We wished We would have deformed them in their place; then they would neither have been able to move ahead nor to return. ﴾67﴿And whomever We give a long life, We cause him to regress in creation. Then, will they not exercise their reason? ﴾68﴿We did not teach him poetry, nor does it behoove him. This is just a reminder and a manifest Quran, ﴾69﴿so that anyone who is alive may be warned, and that the word may come due against the faithless. ﴾70﴿Have they not seen that We have created for them—of what Our hands have worked—cattle, so they have become their masters? ﴾71﴿And We made them tractable for them; so some of them make their mounts and some of them they eat. ﴾72﴿There are other benefits for them therein, and drinks. Will they not then give thanks? ﴾73﴿They have taken gods besides Allah, [hoping] that they might be helped [by the fake deities]. ﴾74﴿[But] they cannot help them, while they [themselves] are an army mobilized for their defence. ﴾75﴿So do not let their remarks grieve you. We indeed know whatever they hide and whatever they disclose. ﴾76﴿Does not man see that We created him from a drop of [seminal] fluid, and, behold, he is an open contender!? ﴾77﴿He draws comparisons for Us, and forgets his own creation. He says, ‘Who shall revive the bones when they have decayed?’ ﴾78﴿Say, ‘He will revive them who produced them the first time, and He has knowledge of all creation. ﴾79﴿He, who made for you fire out of the green tree, and, behold, you light fire from it! ﴾80﴿Is not He who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yes indeed! He is the All-creator, the All-knowing. ﴾81﴿All His command, when He wills something, is to say to it ‘Be,’ and it is. ﴾82﴿So immaculate is He in whose hand is the dominion of all things, and to whom you shall be brought back. ﴾83﴿Surah As-SaffatMakiha182In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.By the [angels] ranged in ranks, ﴾1﴿by the ones who drive [the clouds] vigorously, ﴾2﴿by the ones who recite the reminder: ﴾3﴿indeed your God is certainly One, ﴾4﴿the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and the Lord of the easts. ﴾5﴿Indeed We have adorned the lowest heaven with the finery of the stars, ﴾6﴿and to guard from any froward devil. ﴾7﴿They do not eavesdrop on the Supernal Elite—they are shot at from every side, ﴾8﴿to drive them away, and there is a perpetual punishment for them— ﴾9﴿except any who snatches a snatch, whereat a piercing flame pursues him. ﴾10﴿Ask them, is their creation more prodigious or [that of other creatures] that We have created? Indeed, We created them from a viscous clay. ﴾11﴿Indeed you wonder, while they engage in ridicule, ﴾12﴿and [even] when admonished do not take admonition, ﴾13﴿and when they see a sign they make it an object of ridicule, ﴾14﴿and say, ‘This is nothing but plain magic!’ ﴾15﴿‘What! When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected? ﴾16﴿And our forefathers too?!’ ﴾17﴿Say, ‘Yes! And you will be utterly humble.’ ﴾18﴿It will be only a single shout and, behold, they will look on, ﴾19﴿and say, ‘Woe to us! This is the Day of Retribution!’ ﴾20﴿‘This is the Day of Judgement that you used to deny!’ ﴾21﴿
