Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an.
الٓرٰ ۗ تِلْكَ اٰيٰتُ الْـكِتٰبِ وَقُرْاٰنٍ مُّبِيْنٍ

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.
رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ كَانُوْا مُسْلِمِيْنَ

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوْا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوْا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْاَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.
وَمَاۤ اَهْلَـكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ اِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌ

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ اُمَّةٍ اَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـٔۡخِرُوْنَ

And they say,"O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.
وَ قَالُوْا يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِىْ نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُوْنٌۗ

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"
لَوْ مَا تَأْتِيْنَا بِالْمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved.
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةَ اِلَّا بِالْحَـقِّ وَمَا كَانُوْۤا اِذًا مُّنْظَرِيْنَ

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.
اِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰـفِظُوْنَ

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples.
وَلَـقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِىْ شِيَعِ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.
وَمَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals
كَذٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهٗ فِىْ قُلُوْبِ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَۙ

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.
لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖۚ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ فَظَلُّوْا فِيْهِ يَعْرُجُوْنَۙ

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."
لَـقَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ اَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُوْرُوْنَ

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
وَلَـقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى السَّمَآءِ بُرُوْجًا وَّزَيَّـنّٰهَا لِلنّٰظِرِيْنَۙ

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah ]
وَحَفِظْنٰهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطٰنٍ رَّجِيْمٍۙ

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame
اِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَاَ تْبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ مُّبِيْنٌ

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.
وَالْاَرْضَ مَدَدْنٰهَا وَاَلْقَيْنَا فِيْهَا رَوَاسِىَ وَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مَّوْزُوْنٍ

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَـكُمْ فِيْهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنْ لَّسْتُمْ لَهٗ بِرٰزِقِيْنَ

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure.
وَاِنْ مِّنْ شَىْءٍ اِلَّا عِنْدَنَا خَزَآٮِٕنُهٗ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهٗۤ اِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.
وَاَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيٰحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَسْقَيْنٰكُمُوْهُۚ وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ لَهٗ بِخٰزِنِيْنَ

And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.
وَ اِنَّا لَــنَحْنُ نُحْىٖ وَنُمِيْتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوٰرِثُوْنَ

And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].
وَلَـقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِيْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَـقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَـأْخِرِيْنَ

And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْۗ اِنَّهٗ حَكِيْمٌ عَلِيْمٌ

And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
وَلَـقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَاٍ مَّسْنُوْنٍۚ

And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
وَالْجَـآنَّ خَلَقْنٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ مِنْ نَّارِ السَّمُوْمِ

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud
وَاِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةِ اِنِّىْ خَالـِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَاٍ مَّسْنُوْنٍ

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
فَاِذَا سَوَّيْتُهٗ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيْهِ مِنْ رُّوْحِىْ فَقَعُوْا لَهٗ سٰجِدِيْنَ

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلٰۤٮِٕكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ اَجْمَعُوْنَۙ

Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated.
اِلَّاۤ اِبْلِيْسَۗ اَبٰٓى اَنْ يَّكُوْنَ مَعَ السّٰجِدِيْنَ

Allah ] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
قَالَ يٰۤاِبْلِيْسُ مَا لَـكَ اَ لَّا تَكُوْنَ مَعَ السّٰجِدِيْنَ

He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."
قَالَ لَمْ اَكُنْ لِّاَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهٗ مِنْ صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَاٍ مَّسْنُوْنٍ

[ Allah ] said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled.
قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَاِنَّكَ رَجِيْمٌۙ

And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."
وَّاِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ

He said,"My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
قَالَ رَبِّ فَاَنْظِرْنِىْۤ اِلٰى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُوْنَ

[ Allah ] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved
قَالَ فَاِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِيْنَۙ

Until the Day of the time well-known."
اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُوْمِ

[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَاۤ اَغْوَيْتَنِىْ لَاُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَلَاُغْوِيَـنَّهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۙ

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
اِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِيْنَ

[ Allah ] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.
قَالَ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَىَّ مُسْتَقِيْمٌ

Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.
اِنَّ عِبَادِىْ لَـيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌ اِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَـعَكَ مِنَ الْغٰوِيْنَ

And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.
وَاِنَّ جَهَـنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ ۙ

It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated."
لَهَا سَبْعَةُ اَبْوَابٍۗ لِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنْهُمْ جُزْءٌ مَّقْسُوْمٌ

Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs.
اِنَّ الْمُتَّقِيْنَ فِىْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوْنٍۗ

[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."
اُدْخُلُوْهَا بِسَلٰمٍ اٰمِنِيْنَ

And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِىْ صُدُوْرِهِمْ مِّنْ غِلٍّ اِخْوَانًا عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيْنَ

No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.
لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيْهَا نَـصَبٌ وَّمَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِيْنَ

[O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful.
نَبِّئْ عِبَادِىْۤ اَنِّىْۤ اَنَا الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُۙ

And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.
وَاَنَّ عَذَابِىْ هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الْاَلِيْمُ

And inform them about the guests of Abraham,
وَنَبِّئْهُمْ عَنْ ضَيْفِ اِبْرٰهِيْمَۘ

When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful of you."
اِذْ دَخَلُوْا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوْا سَلٰمًاۗ قَالَ اِنَّا مِنْكُمْ وَجِلُوْنَ

[The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."
قَالُوْا لَا تَوْجَلْ اِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلٰمٍ عَلِيْمٍ

He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"
قَالَ اَبَشَّرْتُمُوْنِىْ عَلٰٓى اَنْ مَّسَّنِىَ الْكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُوْنَ

They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."
قَالُوْا بَشَّرْنٰكَ بِالْحَـقِّ فَلَا تَكُنْ مِّنَ الْقٰنِطِيْنَ

He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"
قَالَ وَمَنْ يَّقْنَطُ مِنْ رَّحْمَةِ رَبِّهٖۤ اِلَّا الضَّآلُّوْنَ

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ اَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,
قَالُـوْۤا اِنَّاۤ اُرْسِلْنَاۤ اِلٰى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِيْنَۙ

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all
اِلَّاۤ اٰلَ لُوْطٍۗ اِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوْهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۙ

Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.
اِلَّا امْرَاَتَهٗ قَدَّرْنَاۤ ۙ اِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغٰبِرِيْنَ

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ اٰلَ لُوْطِ لْمُرْسَلُوْنَۙ

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."
قَالَ اِنَّـكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنْكَرُوْنَ

They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,
قَالُوْا بَلْ جِئْنٰكَ بِمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَمْتَرُوْنَ

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.
وَ اَتَيْنٰكَ بِالْحَـقِّ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.
وَ اَتَيْنٰكَ بِالْحَـقِّ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ

So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."
فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ اَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْـتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ وَّامْضُوْا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُوْنَ

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning
وَقَضَيْنَاۤ اِلَيْهِ ذٰ لِكَ الْاَمْرَ اَنَّ دَابِرَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مَقْطُوْعٌ مُّصْبِحِيْنَ

And the people of the city came rejoicing.
وَجَآءَ اَهْلُ الْمَدِيْنَةِ يَسْتَـبْشِرُوْنَ

[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me
قَالَ اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ ضَيْفِىْ فَلَا تَفْضَحُوْنِۙ

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me."
وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"
قَالُـوْۤا اَوَلَمْ نَـنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."
قَالَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ بَنٰتِىْۤ اِنْ كُنْـتُمْ فٰعِلِيْنَۗ

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.
لَعَمْرُكَ اِنَّهُمْ لَفِىْ سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُوْنَ

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.
فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِيْنَۙ

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.
فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيـَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَ اَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّنْ سِجِّيْلٍۗ

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّـلْمُتَوَسِّمِيْنَ

And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road.
وَاِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيْلٍ مُّقِيْمٍ

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَةً لِّـلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَۗ

And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers.
وَاِنْ كَانَ اَصْحٰبُ الْاَيْكَةِ لَظٰلِمِيْنَۙ

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.
فَانْتَقَمْنَامِنْهُمْ ۘ وَاِنَّهُمَا لَبِاِمَامٍ مُّبِيْنٍۗ

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers.
وَلَـقَدْ كَذَّبَ اَصْحٰبُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَۙ

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.
وَاٰتَيْنٰهُمْ اٰيٰتِنَا فَكَانُوْا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِيْنَۙ

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.
وَكَانُوْا يَنْحِتُوْنَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوْتًا اٰمِنِيْنَ

But the shriek seized them at early morning.
فَاَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِيْنَۙ

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.
فَمَاۤ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا يَكْسِبُوْنَۗ

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاۤ اِلَّا بِالْحَـقِّ ۗ وَاِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيْلَ

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.
اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَـلّٰقُ الْعَلِيْمُ

And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.
وَلَـقَدْ اٰتَيْنٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَـثَانِىْ وَالْـقُرْاٰنَ الْعَظِيْمَ

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهٖۤ اَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -
وَقُلْ اِنِّىْۤ اَنَا النَّذِيْرُ الْمُبِيْنُۚ

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators
كَمَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِيْنَۙ

Who have made the Qur'an into portions
الَّذِيْنَ جَعَلُوا الْـقُرْاٰنَ عِضِيْنَ

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَـنَسْــَٔلَـنَّهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَۙ

About what they used to do.
عَمَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ

Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists.
فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَ اَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ

Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers
اِنَّا كَفَيْنٰكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِءِيْنَۙ

Who make [equal] with Allah another deity. But they are going to know.
الَّذِيْنَ يَجْعَلُوْنَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ

And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.
وَلَـقَدْ نَـعْلَمُ اَنَّكَ يَضِيْقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُوْلُوْنَۙ

So exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُنْ مِّنَ السّٰجِدِيْنَۙ

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death).
وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَـقِيْنُ
