>
> 6. Then did We grant you the Return as against them: We gave you increase in

>
> 7. If ye did well, ye did well for yourselves; if ye did evil, (ye did it)
> against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (We

>
> 8. It may be that your Lord may (yet) show Mercy unto you; but if ye revert

> a prison for those who reject (all Faith).
>
> 9. Verily this Qur'an doth guide to that which is most right (or stable),

> righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward;
>
> 10. And to those who believe not in the Hereafter, (it announceth) that We
> have prepared for them a Penalty Grievous (indeed).
>
> 11. The prayer that man should make for good, he maketh for evil; for man is
> given to hasty (deeds).
>
> 12. We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of
> the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to
> enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know
> the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.
>
> 13. Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: On the Day of
> Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.
>
> 14. (It will be said to him:) "Read thine (own) record: Sufficient is thy
> soul this day to make out an account against thee."
>
> 15. Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth
> astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of
> another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an apostle (to
> give warning).
>
> 16. When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order
> to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet
> transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We
> destroy them utterly.
>
> 17. How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? and enough is thy
> Lord to note and see the sins of His servants.
>
> 18. If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily
> grant them - such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end
> have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced and
> rejected.
>
> 19. Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefor
> with all due striving, and have Faith,- they are the ones whose striving is
> acceptable (to Allah..
>
> 20. Of the bounties of thy Lord We bestow freely on all- These as well as
> those: The bounties of thy Lord are not closed (to anyone).
>
> 21. See how We have bestowed more on some than on others; but verily the
> Hereafter is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence.
>
> 22. Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit
> in disgrace and destitution.
>
> 23. Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind
> to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not
> to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of
> honour.
>
> 24. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My
> Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood."
>
> 25. Your Lord knoweth best what is in your hearts: If ye do deeds of
> righteousness, verily He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again
> and again (in true penitence).
>
> 26. And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want,
> and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a
> spendthrift.
>
> 27. Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is
> to his Lord (himself) ungrateful.
>
> 28. And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy
> from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy
> kindness.
>
> 29. Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to thy neck, nor stretch it
> forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and destitute.
>
> 30. Verily thy Lord doth provide sustenance in abundance for whom He
> pleaseth, and He provideth in a just measure. For He doth know and regard
> all His servants.
>
> 31. Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for
> them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin.
>
> 32. Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil,
> opening the road (to other evils).
>
> 33. Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And
> if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand
> qisas or to forgive): but let him nor exceed bounds in the matter of taking
> life; for he is helped (by the Law).
>
> 34. Come not nigh to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he
> attains the age of full strength; and fulfil (every) engagement, for (every)
> engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).
>
> 35. Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is
> straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final
> determination.
>
> 36. And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of
> hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on
> the Day of Reckoning).
>
> 37. Nor walk on the earth with insolence: for thou canst not rend the earth
> asunder, nor reach the mountains in height.
>
> 38. Of all such things the evil is hateful in the sight of thy Lord.
>
> 39. These are among the (precepts of) wisdom, which thy Lord has revealed to
> thee. Take not, with Allah, another object of worship, lest thou shouldst be
> thrown into Hell, blameworthy and rejected.
>
> 40. Has then your Lord (O Pagans!) preferred for you sons, and taken for
> Himself daughters among the angels? Truly ye utter a most dreadful saying!
>
> 41. We have explained (things) in various (ways) in this Qur'an, in order
> that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their flight (from
> the Truth)!
>
> 42. Say: If there had been (other) gods with Him, as they say,- behold, they
> would certainly have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne!
>
> 43. Glory to Him! He is high above all that they say!- Exalted and Great
> (beyond measure)!
>
> 44. The seven heavens and the earth, and all beings therein, declare His
> glory: there is not a thing but celebrates His praise; And yet ye understand
> not how they declare His glory! Verily He is Oft-Forbear, Most Forgiving!
>
> 45. When thou dost recite the Qur'an, We put, between thee and those who
> believe not in the Hereafter, a veil invisible:
>
> 46. And We put coverings over their hearts (and minds) lest they should
> understand the Qur'an, and deafness into their ears: when thou dost
> commemorate thy Lord and Him alone in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs,
> fleeing (from the Truth).
>
> 47. We know best why it is they listen, when they listen to thee; and when
> they meet in private conference, behold, the wicked say, "Ye follow none
> other than a man bewitched!"
>
> 48. See what similes they strike for thee: but they have gone astray, and
> never can they find a way.
>
> 49. They say: "What! when we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really
> be raised up (to be) a new creation?"
>
> 50. Say: "(Nay!) be ye stones or iron,
>
> 51. "Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest (to be raised up),-
> (Yet shall ye be raised up)!" then will they say: "Who will cause us to
> return?" Say: "He who created you first!" Then will they wag their heads
> towards thee, and say, "When will that be?" Say, "May be it will be quite
> soon!
>
> 52. "It will be on a Day when He will call you, and ye will answer (His
> call) with (words of) His praise, and ye will think that ye tarried but a
> little while!"
>
> 53. Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are
> best: for Satan doth sow dissensions among them: For Satan is to man an
> avowed enemy.
>
> 54. It is your Lord that knoweth you best: If He please, He granteth you
> mercy, or if He please, punishment: We have not sent thee to be a disposer
> of their affairs for them.
>
> 55. And it is your Lord that knoweth best all beings that are in the heavens
> and on earth: We did bestow on some prophets more (and other) gifts than on
> others: and We gave to David (the gift of) the Psalms.
>
> 56. Say: "Call on those - besides Him - whom ye fancy: they have neither the
> power to remove your troubles from you nor to change them."
>
> 57. Those whom they call upon do desire (for themselves) means of access to
> their Lord, - even those who are nearest: they hope for His Mercy and fear
> His Wrath: for the Wrath of thy Lord is something to take heed of.
>
> 58. There is not a population but We shall destroy it before the Day of
> Judgment or punish it with a dreadful Penalty: that is written in the
> (eternal) Record.
>
> 59. And We refrain from sending the signs, only because the men of former
> generations treated them as false: We sent the she-camel to the Thamud to
> open their eyes, but they treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs by
> way of terror (and warning from evil).
>
> 60. Behold! We told thee that thy Lord doth encompass mankind round about:
> We granted the vision which We showed thee, but as a trial for men,- as also
> the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur'an: We put terror (and warning) into
> them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression!
>
> 61. Behold! We said to the angels: "Bow down unto Adam": They bowed down
> except Iblis: He said, "Shall I bow down to one whom Thou didst create from
> clay?"
>
> 62. He said: "Seest Thou? this is the one whom Thou hast honoured above me!
> If Thou wilt but respite me to the Day of Judgment, I will surely bring his
> descendants under my sway - all but a few!"
>
> 63. ((Allah)) said: "Go thy way; if any of them follow thee, verily Hell
> will be the recompense of you (all)- an ample recompense.
>
> 64. "Lead to destruction those whom thou canst among them, with thy
> (seductive) voice; make assaults on them with thy cavalry and thy infantry;
> mutually share with them wealth and children; and make promises to them."
> But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.
>
> 65. "As for My servants, no authority shalt thou have over them:" Enough is
> thy Lord for a Disposer of affairs.
>
> 66. Your Lord is He That maketh the Ship go smoothly for you through the
> sea, in order that ye may seek of his Bounty. For he is unto you most
> Merciful.
>
> 67. When distress seizes you at sea, those that ye call upon - besides
> Himself - leave you in the lurch! but when He brings you back safe to land,
> ye turn away (from Him). Most ungrateful is man!
>
> 68. Do ye then feel secure that He will not cause you to be swallowed up
> beneath the earth when ye are on land, or that He will not send against you
> a violent tornado (with showers of stones) so that ye shall find no one to
> carry out your affairs for you?
>
> 69. Or do ye feel secure that He will not send you back a second time to sea
> and send against you a heavy gale to drown you because of your ingratitude,
> so that ye find no helper. Therein against Us?
>
> 70. We have honoured the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land
> and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on
> them special favours, above a great part of our creation.
>
> 71. One day We shall call together all human beings with their (respective)
> Imams: those who are given their record in their right hand will read it
> (with pleasure), and they will not be dealt with unjustly in the least.
>
> 72. But those who were blind in this world, will be blind in the hereafter,
> and most astray from the Path.
>
> 73. And their purpose was to tempt thee away from that which We had revealed
> unto thee, to substitute in our name something quite different; (in that
> case), behold! they would certainly have made thee (their) friend!
>
> 74. And had We not given thee strength, thou wouldst nearly have inclined to
> them a little.
>
> 75. In that case We should have made thee taste an equal portion (of
> punishment) in this life, and an equal portion in death: and moreover thou
> wouldst have found none to help thee against Us!
>
> 76. Their purpose was to scare thee off the land, in order to expel thee;
> but in that case they would not have stayed (therein) after thee, except for
> a little while.
>
> 77. (This was Our) way with the apostles We sent before thee: thou wilt find
> no change in Our ways.
>
> 78. Establish regular prayers - at the sun's decline till the darkness of
> the night, and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer and reading in
> the morning carry their testimony.
>
> 79. And pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an
> additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will thy Lord raise
> thee to a Station of Praise and Glory!
>
> 80. Say: "O my Lord! Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honour, and
> likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honour; and grant me from Thy
> Presence an authority to aid (me)."
>
> 81. And say: "Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood
> is (by its nature) bound to perish."
>
> 82. We send down (stage by stage) in the Qur'an that which is a healing and
> a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after
> loss.
>
> 83. Yet when We bestow Our favours on man, he turns away and becomes remote
> on his side (instead of coming to Us), and when evil seizes him he gives
> himself up to despair!
>
> 84. Say: "Everyone acts according to his own disposition: But your Lord
> knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."
>
> 85. They ask thee concerning the Spirit (of inspiration). Say: "The Spirit
> (cometh) by command of my Lord: of knowledge it is only a little that is
> communicated to you, (O men!)"
>
> 86. If it were Our Will, We could take away that which We have sent thee by
> inspiration:then wouldst thou find none to plead thy affair in that matter
> as against Us,-
>
> 87. Except for Mercy from thy Lord: for his bounty is to thee (indeed)
> great.
>
> 88. Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to
> produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof,
> even if they backed up each other with help and support.
>
> 89. And We have explained to man, in this Qur'an, every kind of similitude:
> yet the greater part of men refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude!
>
> 90. They say: "We shall not believe in thee, until thou cause a spring to
> gush forth for us from the earth,
>
> 91. "Or (until) thou have a garden of date trees and vines, and cause rivers
> to gush forth in their midst, carrying abundant water;
>
> 92. "Or thou cause the sky to fall in pieces, as thou sayest (will happen),
> against us; or thou bring Allah and the angels before (us) face to face:
>
> 93. "Or thou have a house adorned with gold, or thou mount a ladder right
> into the skies. No, we shall not even believe in thy mounting until thou
> send down to us a book that we could read." Say: "Glory to my Lord! Am I
> aught but a man,- an apostle?"
>
> 94. What kept men back from belief when Guidance came to them, was nothing
> but this: they said, "Has Allah sent a man (like us) to be (His) Messenger."
>
> 95. Say, "If there were settled, on earth, angels walking about in peace and
> quiet, We should certainly have sent them down from the heavens an angel for
> an apostle."
>
> 96. Say: "Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you: for He is well
> acquainted with His servants, and He sees (all things).
>
> 97. It is he whom Allah guides, that is on true Guidance; but he whom He
> leaves astray - for such wilt thou find no protector besides Him. On the Day
> of Judgment We shall gather, them together, prone on their faces, blind,
> dumb, and deaf: their abode will be Hell: every time it shows abatement, We
> shall increase from them the fierceness of the Fire.
>
> 98. That is their recompense, because they rejected Our signs, and said,
> "When we are reduced to bones and broken dust, should we really be raised up
> (to be) a new Creation?"
>
> 99. See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, has
> power to create the like of them (anew)? Only He has decreed a term
> appointed, of which there is no doubt. But the unjust refuse (to receive it)
> except with ingratitude.
>
> 100. Say: "If ye had control of the Treasures of the Mercy of my Lord,
> behold, ye would keep them back, for fear of spending them: for man is
> (every) niggardly!"
>
> 101. To Moses We did give Nine Clear Sings: As the Children of Israel: when
> he came to them, Pharaoh said to him: "O Moses! I consider thee, indeed, to
> have been worked upon by sorcery!
>
> 102. Moses said, "Thou knowest well that these things have been sent down by
> none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth as eye-opening evidence: and
> I consider thee indeed, O Pharaoh, to be one doomed to destruction!"
>
> 103. So he resolved to remove them from the face of the earth: but We did
> drown him and all who were with him.
>
> 104. And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, "Dwell securely in
> the land (of promise)": but when the second of the warnings came to pass, We
> gathered you together in a mingled crowd.
>
> 105. We sent down the (Qur'an) in Truth, and in Truth has it descended: and
> We sent thee but to give Glad Tidings and to warn (sinners).
>
> 106. (It is) a Qur'an which We have divided (into parts from time to time),
> in order that thou mightest recite it to men at intervals: We have revealed
> it by stages.
>
> 107. Say: "Whether ye believe in it or not, it is true that those who were
> given knowledge beforehand, when it is recited to them, fall down on their
> faces in humble prostration,
>
> 108. "And they say: 'Glory to our Lord! Truly has the promise of our Lord
> been fulfilled!'"
>
> 109. They fall down on their faces in tears, and it increases their
> (earnest) humility.
>
> 110. Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call
> upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither
> speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course
> between."
>
> 111. Say: "Praise be to Allah, who begets no son, and has no partner in
> (His) dominion: Nor (needs) He any to protect Him from humiliation: yea,
> magnify Him for His greatness and glory!"
