> > 9. In the end We fulfilled to them Our Promise, and We saved them and those > whom We pleased, but We destroyed those who transgressed beyond bounds.
> > 10. We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you:
> will ye not then understand?
> > 11. How many were the populations We utterly destroyed because of their > iniquities, setting up in their places other peoples?

> flee from it.
> > 13. Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given > you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account.
> > 14. They said: "Ah! woe to us! We were indeed wrong-doers!"
> > 15. And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is > mown, as ashes silent and quenched.

> > 17. If it had been Our wish to take (just) a pastime, We should surely have > taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing)!
> > 18. Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain,
> and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things > ye ascribe (to Us).

> > 28. He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they offer no > intercession except for those who are acceptable, and they stand in awe and > reverence of His (Glory).
> > 29. If any of them should say, "I am a god besides Him", such a one We > should reward with Hell: thus do We reward those who do wrong.
> > 30. Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined > together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made > from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
> > 31. And We have set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should > shake with them, and We have made therein broad highways (between mountains)
> for them to pass through: that they may receive Guidance.

> > 53. They said, "We found our fathers worshipping them."
> > 54. He said, "Indeed ye have been in manifest error - ye and your fathers."

> > 63. He said: "Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one! ask them,
> if they can speak intelligently!"
> > 64. So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the > wrong!"
> > 65. Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full > well that these (idols) do not speak!"
> > 66. (Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can > neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?
> > 67. "Fie upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah. Have > ye no sense?"..
> > 68. They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, If ye do (anything at all)!"
> > 69. We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!"
> > 70. Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that > lost most!
> > 71. But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the > land which We have blessed for the nations.
> > 72. And We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift, (a grandson),
> Jacob, and We made righteous men of every one (of them).
> > 73. And We made them leaders, guiding (men) by Our Command, and We sent them > inspiration to do good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practise > regular charity; and they constantly served Us (and Us only).
> > 74. And to Lut, too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from > the town which practised abominations: truly they were a people given to > Evil, a rebellious people.
> > 75. And We admitted him to Our Mercy: for he was one of the Righteous.
> > 76. (Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his > (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress.
> > 77. We helped him against people who rejected Our Signs: truly they were a > people given to Evil: so We drowned them (in the Flood) all together.
> > 78. And remember David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the matter of > the field into which the sheep of certain people had strayed by night: We > did witness their judgment.
> > 79. To Solomon We inspired the (right) understanding of the matter: to each > (of them) We gave Judgment and Knowledge; it was Our power that made the > hills and the birds celebrate Our praises, with David: it was We Who did > (all these things).
> > 80. It was We Who taught him the making of coats of mail for your benefit,
> to guard you from each other's violence: will ye then be grateful?
> > 81. (It was Our power that made) the violent (unruly) wind flow (tamely) for > Solomon, to his order, to the land which We had blessed: for We do know all > things.
> > 82. And of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work > besides; and it was We Who guarded them.
> > 83. And (remember) Job, when He cried to his Lord, "Truly distress has > seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful of those that are merciful."
> > 84. So We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and We > restored his people to him, and doubled their number,- as a Grace from > Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who serve Us.
> > 85. And (remember) Isma'il, Idris, and Zul-kifl, all (men) of constancy and > patience;
> > 86. We admitted them to Our mercy: for they were of the righteous ones.
> > 87. And remember Zun-nun, when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had > no power over him! But he cried through the deptHs of darkness, "There is no > god but thou: glory to thee: I was indeed wrong!"
> > 88. So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We > deliver those who have faith.
> > 89. And (remember) Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: "O my Lord! leave me > not without offspring, though thou art the best of inheritors."
> > 90. So We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's > (Barrenness) for him. These (three) were ever quick in emulation in good > works; they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble > themselves before Us.
> > 91. And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our > spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.
> > 92. Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your > Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other).
> > 93. But (later generations) cut off their affair (of unity), one from > another: (yet) will they all return to Us.
> > 94. Whoever works any act of righteousness and has faith,- His endeavour > will not be rejected: We shall record it in his favour.
> > 95. But there is a ban on any population which We have destroyed: that they > shall not return,
> > 96. Until the Gog and Magog (people) are let through (their barrier), and > they swiftly swarm from every hill.
> > 97. Then will the true promise draw nigh (of fulfilment): then behold! the > eyes of the Unbelievers will fixedly stare in horror: "Ah! Woe to us! we > were indeed heedless of this; nay, we truly did wrong!"
> > 98. Verily ye, (unbelievers), and the (false) gods that ye worship besides > Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell! to it will ye (surely) come!
> > 99. If these had been gods, they would not have got there! but each one will > abide therein.
> > 100. There, sobbing will be their lot, nor will they there hear (aught > else).
> > 101. Those for whom the good (record) from Us has gone before, will be > removed far therefrom.
> > 102. Not the slightest sound will they hear of Hell: what their souls > desired, in that will they dwell.
> > 103. The Great Terror will bring them no grief: but the angels will meet > them (with mutual greetings): "This is your Day,- (the Day) that ye were > promised."
> > 104. The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books > (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a > new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it.
> > 105. Before this We wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses):
> My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth."
> > 106. Verily in this (Qur'an) is a Message for people who would (truly)
> worship Allah.
> > 107. We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures.
> > 108. Say: "What has come to me by inspiration is that your Allah is One > Allah. will ye therefore bow to His Will (in Islam)?"
> > 109. But if they turn back, Say: "I have proclaimed the Message to you all > alike and in truth; but I know not whether that which ye are promised is > near or far.
> > 110. "It is He Who knows what is open in speech and what ye hide (in your > hearts).
> > 111. "I know not but that it may be a trial for you, and a grant of > (worldly) livelihood (to you) for a time."
> > 112. Say: "O my Lord! judge Thou in truth!" "Our Lord Most Gracious is the > One Whose assistance should be sought against the blasphemies ye utter!"
