They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promised and the messengers told the truth.

And that you should serve Me; this is the right way.

This is the hell with which you were threatened.

And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:

And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.

This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.

Most surely this is the mighty achievement.

For the like of this then let the workers work.

Most surely this is a manifest trial.

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, and the disbelievers say: This IS an enchanter, a liar.

What! makes he the gods a single Allah? A strange thing is this, to be sure!

And the chief persons of them break forth, saying: Go and steadily adhere to your gods; this is most surely a thing sought after.

We never heard of this in the former faith; this is nothing but a forgery:

Nor do these await aught but a single cry, there being no delay in it.

Surely this is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes and I have a single ewe; but he said: Make it over to me, and he has prevailed against me in discourse.

This is Our free gift, therefore give freely or withhold, without reckoning.

Urge with your foot; here is a cool washing-place and a drink.

This is a reminder; and most surely there is an excellent resort for those who guard (against evil),

This is what you are promised for the day of reckoning.

Most surely this is Our sustenance; it shall never come to an end;

This (shall be so); and most surely there is an evil resort for the inordinate ones;

This (shall be so); so let them taste it, boiling and intensely cold (drink).

This is an army plunging in without consideration along with you; no welcome for them, surely they shall enter fire.

They shall say: Our Lord! whoever prepared it first for us, add Thou to him a double chastisement in the fire.

Say: O my servants who believe! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord; for those who do good in this world is good, and Allah's earth is spacious; only the patient will be paid back their reward in full without measure.

And certainly We have set forth to men in this Quran similitudes of every sort that they may mind.

So there befell them the evil (consequences) of what they earned; and (as for) those who are unjust from among these, there shall befall them the evil (consequences) of what they earn, and they shall not escape.

And those who disbelieve shall be driven to hell in companies; until, when they come to it, its doors shall be opened, and the keepers of it shall say to them: Did not there come to you messengers from among you reciting to you the communications of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They shall say: Yea! But the sentence of punishment was due against the unbelievers.

O my people! this life of the world is only a (passing) enjoyment, and surely the hereafter is the abode to settle;

And those who disbelieve say: Do not listen to this Quran and make noise therein, perhaps you may overcome.

And if We make him taste mercy from Us after distress that has touched him, he would most certainly say: This is of me, and I do not think the hour will come to pass, and if I am sent back to my Lord, I shall have with Him sure good; but We will most certainly inform those who disbelieved of what they did, and We will most certainly make them taste of hard chastisement.

That you may firmly sit on their backs, then remember the favor of your Lord when you are firmly seated thereon, and say: Glory be to Him Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it

Nay! I gave them and their fathers to enjoy until there came to them the truth and a Messenger making manifest (the truth).

And when there came to them the truth they said: This is magic, and surely we are disbelievers in it.

And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a man of importance in the two towns?

And Firon proclaimed amongst his people: O my people! is not the kingdom of Egypt mine? And these rivers flow beneath me; do you not then see?

Nay! I am better than this fellow, who is contemptible, and who can hardly speak distinctly:

And most surely it is a knowledge of the hour, therefore have no doubt about it and follow me: this is the right path.

Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path:

Consider his cry: O my Lord! surely they are a people who do not believe.

That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.

Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.

Most surely these do say:

Surely this is what you disputed about.

This is guidance; and (as for) those who disbelieve in the communications of their Lord, they shall have a painful punishment on account of uncleanness.

These are clear proofs for men, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who are sure.

This is Our book that speaks against you with justice; surely We wrote what you did,

And it shall be said: Today We forsake you as you neglected the meeting of this day of yours and your abode is the fire, and there are not for you any helpers:

Say: Have you considered what you call upon besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth, or have they a share in the heavens? Bring me a book before this or traces of knowledge, if you are truthful.

And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who disbelieve say with regard to the truth when it comes to them: This is clear magic.

And those who disbelieve say concerning those who believe: If it had been a good, they would not have gone ahead of us therein. And as they do not seek to be rightly directed thereby, they say: It is an old lie.

And before it the Book of Musa was a guide and a mercy: and this is a Book verifying (it) in the Arabic language that it may warn those who are unjust and as good news for the doers of good.

And he who says to his parents: Fie on you! do you threaten me that I shall be brought forth when generations have already passed away before me? And they both call for Allah's aid: Woe to you! believe, surely the promise of Allah is true. But he says: This is nothing but stories of the ancients.

So when they saw it as a cloud appearing in the sky advancing towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloud which will give us rain. Nay! it is what you sought to hasten on, a blast of wind in which is a painful punishment,

And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be brought before the fire: Is it not true? They shall say: Aye! by our Lord! He will say: Then taste the punishment, because you disbelieved.

Behold! you are those who are called upon to spend in Allah's way, but among you are those who are niggardly, and whoever is niggardly is niggardly against his own soul; and Allah is Self-sufficient and you have need (of Him), and if you turn back He will bring in your place another people, then they will not be like you.

Allah promised you many acquisitions which you will take, then He hastened on this one for you and held back the hands of men from you, and that it may be a sign for the believers and that He may guide you on a right path.

Nay! they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves, so the unbelievers say: This is a wonderful thing:

Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp.

And his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me.

This is what you were promised, (it is) for every one who turns frequently (to Allah), keeps (His limits);

Taste your persecution! this is what you would hasten on.

This is the fire which you used to give the lie to.

Is it magic then or do you not see?

Nay! do their understandings bid them this? Or are they an inordinate people?

This is a warner of the warners of old.

Do you then wonder at this announcement?

Hastening to the inviter. The unbelievers shall say: This is a hard day.

This is the hell which the guilty called a lie.

This is their entertainment on the day of requital.

Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?

Most surely this is a certain truth.

Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunder because of the fear of Allah, and We set forth these parables to men that they may reflect.

And when Isa son of Marium said: O children of Israel! surely I am the messenger of Allah to you, verifying that which is before me of the Taurat and giving the good news of an Messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad, but when he came to them with clear arguments they said: This is clear magic.

And when the prophet secretly communicated a piece of information to one of his wives-- but when she informed (others) of it, and Allah made him to know it, he made known part of it and avoided part; so when he informed her of it, she said: Who informed you of this? He said: The Knowing, the one Aware, informed me.

Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent Allah? The unbelievers are only in deception.

Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay! they persist in disdain and aversion.

And they say: When shall this threat be (executed) if you are truthful?

But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry, and it shall be said; This is that which you used to call for.

So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not:

Surely this is a reminder, then let him, who will take the way to his Lord.

~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);

This is naught but the word of a mortal.

And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.

Surely this is a reward for you, and your striving shall be recompensed.

Surely these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them.

Surely this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way.

This is the day on which they shall not speak,

This is the day of decision: We have gathered you and those of yore.

Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.

And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;

Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,

Nay! I swear by this city.

And you shall be made free from obligation in this city--

And this city made secure,

So let them serve the Lord of this House
