  14. 14[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatientذُوقُواْ فِتۡنَتَكُمۡ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ
  15. 15Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springsإِنَّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٍ
  16. 16Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of goodءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمۡ رَبُّهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَبۡلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحۡسِنِينَ
  17. 17They used to sleep but little of the nightكَانُواْ قَلِيلٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ مَا يَهۡجَعُونَ
  18. 18And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgivenessوَبِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ هُمۡ يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ
  19. 19And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprivedوَفِيٓ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ حَقّٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلۡمَحۡرُومِ
  20. 20And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]وَفِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلۡمُوقِنِينَ

  22. 22And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promisedوَفِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقُكُمۡ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ
  23. 23Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speakingفَوَرَبِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞ مِّثۡلَ مَآ أَنَّكُمۡ تَنطِقُونَ
  24. 24Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abrahamهَلۡ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ضَيۡفِ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡمُكۡرَمِينَ
  25. 25When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknownإِذۡ دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ فَقَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞ قَوۡمٞ مُّنكَرُونَ
  26. 26Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calfفَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِۦ فَجَآءَ بِعِجۡلٖ سَمِينٖ
  27. 27And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eatفَقَرَّبَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَا تَأۡكُلُونَ
  28. 28And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boyفَأَوۡجَسَ مِنۡهُمۡ خِيفَةٗۖ قَالُواْ لَا تَخَفۡۖ وَبَشَّرُوهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ عَلِيمٖ
  29. 29And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old womanفَأَقۡبَلَتِ ٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ فِي صَرَّةٖ فَصَكَّتۡ وَجۡهَهَا وَقَالَتۡ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٞ
  30. 30They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowingقَالُواْ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
  31. 31[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers۞قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلُونَ
  32. 32They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminalsقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّآ أُرۡسِلۡنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمٖ مُّجۡرِمِينَ
  33. 33To send down upon them stones of clayلِنُرۡسِلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةٗ مِّن طِينٖ
  34. 34Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressorsمُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
  35. 35So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believersفَأَخۡرَجۡنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
  36. 36And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslimsفَمَا وَجَدۡنَا فِيهَا غَيۡرَ بَيۡتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ
  37. 37And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishmentوَتَرَكۡنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ
  38. 38And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authorityوَفِي مُوسَىٰٓ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ بِسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٖ
  39. 39But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madmanفَتَوَلَّىٰ بِرُكۡنِهِۦ وَقَالَ سَٰحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٞ
  40. 40So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthyفَأَخَذۡنَٰهُ وَجُنُودَهُۥ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡيَمِّ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ
  41. 41And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren windوَفِي عَادٍ إِذۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلرِّيحَ ٱلۡعَقِيمَ
  42. 42It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruinsمَا تَذَرُ مِن شَيۡءٍ أَتَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتۡهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ
  43. 43And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a timeوَفِي ثَمُودَ إِذۡ قِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَمَتَّعُواْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
  44. 44But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking onفَعَتَوۡاْ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهِمۡ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّـٰعِقَةُ وَهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ
  45. 45And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselvesفَمَا ٱسۡتَطَٰعُواْ مِن قِيَامٖ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنتَصِرِينَ
  46. 46And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedientوَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمٗا فَٰسِقِينَ
  47. 47And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expanderوَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا بِأَيۡيْدٖ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ
  48. 48And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparerوَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فَرَشۡنَٰهَا فَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمَٰهِدُونَ
  49. 49And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will rememberوَمِن كُلِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقۡنَا زَوۡجَيۡنِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ
  50. 50So flee to Allāh. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warnerفَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ
  51. 51And do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warnerوَلَا تَجۡعَلُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ
  52. 52Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madmanكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ
  53. 53Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing peopleأَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ
  54. 54So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamedفَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٖ
  55. 55And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believersوَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
  56. 56And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Meوَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ
  57. 57I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Meمَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ
  58. 58Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strengthإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ
  59. 59And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Meفَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبٗا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ
  60. 60And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promisedفَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ
