But (as for) those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord, they shall have high places, above them higher places, built (for them), beneath which flow rivers; (this is) the promise of Allah: Allah will not fail in (His) promise.

And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the hereafter shrink, and when those besides Him are mentioned, lo! they are joyful.

And the evil (consequences) of what they wrought shall become plain to them, and the very thing they mocked at shall beset them.

And Allah shall deliver those who guard (against evil) with their achievement; evil shall not touch them, nor shall they grieve.

And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are in the heavens and all those that are in the earth shall swoon, except such as Allah please; then it shall be blown again, then lo! they shall stand up awaiting.

And the earth shall beam with the light of its Lord, and the Book shall be laid down, and the prophets and the witnesses shall be brought up, and judgment shall be given between them with justice, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.

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.

And those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord shall be conveyed to the garden in companies; until when they come to it, and its doors shall be opened, and the keepers of it shall say to them: Peace be on you, you shall be happy; therefore enter it to abide.

Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those who were before them? Mightier than these were they in strength-- and in fortifications in the land, but Allah destroyed them for their sins; and there was not for them any defender against Allah.

No doubt that what you call me to has no title to be called to in this world, nor in the hereafter, and that our turning back is to Allah, and that the extravagant are the inmates of the fire;

The day on which their excuse shall not benefit the unjust, and for them is curse and for them is the evil abode.

Then shall it be said to them: Where is that which you used to set up

A herald of good news and a warner, but most of them turn aside so they hear not.

(To) those who do not give poor-rate and they are unbelievers in the hereafter.

(As for) those who believe and do good, they shall surely have a reward never to be cut off.

So We sent on them a furious wind in unlucky days, that We may make them taste the chastisement of abasement in this world's life; and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is much more abasing, and they shall not be helped.

And on the day that the enemies of Allah shall be brought together to the fire, then they shall be formed into groups.

Then if they will endure, still the fire is their abode, and if they ask for goodwill, then are they not of those who shall be granted goodwill.

And We have appointed for them comrades so they have made fair-seeming to them what is before them and what is behind them, and the word proved true against them-- among the nations of the jinn and the men that have passed away before them-- that they shall surely be losers.

That is the reward of the enemies of Allah-- the fire; for them therein shall be the house of long abiding; a reward for their denying Our communications.

But if they are proud, yet those with your Lord glorify Him during the night and the day, and they are not tired.

We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?

And (as for) those who dispute about Allah after that obedience has been rendered to Him, their plea is null with their Lord, and upon them is wrath, and for them is severe punishment.

Or have they associates who have prescribed for them any religion that Allah does not sanction? And were it not for the word of judgment, decision would have certainly been given between them; and surely the unjust shall have a painful punishment.

And He answers those who believe and do good deeds, and gives them more out of His grace; and (as for) the unbelievers, they shall have a severe punishment.

And those who. shun the great sins and indecencies, and whenever they are angry they forgive.

And those who, when great wrong afflicts them, defend themselves.

The way (to blame) is only against those who oppress men and revolt in the earth unjustly; these shall have a painful punishment.

And they make the angels-- them who are the servants of the Beneficent Allah-- female (divinities). What! did they witness their creation? Their evidence shall be written down and they shall be questioned.

And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, we should never have worshipped them. They have no knowledge of this; they only lie.

Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world, and We j have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.

But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! they broke the pledge.

And they say: Are our gods better, or is he? They do not set it forth to you save by way of disputation; nay, they are a contentious people.

Do they wait for aught but the hour, that it should come ! upon them all of a sudden while they do not perceive?

It shall not be abated from them and they shall therein be despairing.

And those whom they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, but he who bears witness of the truth and they know (him).

Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.

Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.

The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,

And when he comes to know of any of Our communications, he takes it for a jest; these it is that shall have abasing chastisement.

Before them is hell, and there shall not avail them aught of what they earned, nor those whom they took for guardians besides Allah, and they shall have a grievous punishment.

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.

And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth and that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned and they shall not be wronged.

And they say: There is nothing but our life in this world; we live and die and nothing destroys us but time, and they have no knowledge of that; they only conjecture.

And the evil (consequences) of what they did shall become manifest to them and that which they mocked shall encompass them.

That is because you took the communications of Allah for a jest and the life of this world deceived you. So on that day they shall not be brought forth from it, nor shall they be granted goodwill.

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 who is in greater error than he who calls besides Allah upon those that will not answer him till the day of resurrection and they are heedless of their call?

And when men are gathered together they shall be their enemies, and shall be deniers of their worshipping (them).

Surely those who say, Our Lord is Allah, then they continue on the right way, they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

And for all are degrees according to what they did, and that He may pay them back fully their deeds and they shall not be wronged.

And certainly We had established them in what We have not established you in, and We had given-- them ears and eyes and hearts, but neither their ears, nor their eyes, nor their hearts availed them aught, since they denied the communications of Allah, and that which they mocked encompassed them.

Therefore bear up patiently as did the messengers endowed with constancy bear up with patience and do not seek to hasten for them (their doom). On the day that they shall see what they are promised they shall be as if they had not tarried save an hour of the day. A sufficient exposition! Shall then any be destroyed save the transgressing people?

And cause them to enter the garden which He has made known to them.

And (as for) those who disbelieve, for them is destruction and He has made their deeds ineffective.

That is because Allah is the Protector of those who believe, and because the unbelievers shall have no protector for them.

Surely Allah will make those who believe and do good enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; and those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as the beasts eat, and the fire is their abode.

And how many a town which was far more powerful than the town of yours which has driven you out: We destroyed them so there was no helper for them.

A parable of the garden which those guarding (against evil) are promised: Therein are rivers of water that does not alter, and rivers of milk the taste whereof does not change, and rivers of drink delicious to those who drink, and rivers of honey clarified and for them therein are all fruits and protection from their Lord. (Are these) like those who abide in the fire and who are made to drink boiling water so it rends their bowels asunder.

Do they then wait for aught but the hour that it should come to them all of a sudden? Now indeed the tokens of it have (already) come, but how shall they have their reminder when it comes on them?

And those who believe say: Why has not a chapter been revealed? But when a decisive chapter is revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein you see those in whose hearts is a disease look to you with the look of one fainting because of death. Woe to them then!

Obedience and a gentle word (was proper); but when the affair becomes settled, then if they remain true to Allah it would certainly be better for them.

Surely (as for) those who return on their backs after that guidance has become manifest to them, the Shaitan has made it a light matter to them; and He gives them respite.

Surely those who disbelieve and turn away from Allah's way, then they die while they are unbelievers, Allah will by no means forgive them.

And (that) He may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the polytheistic men and the polytheistic women, the entertainers of evil thoughts about Allah. On them is the evil turn, and Allah is wroth with them and has cursed them and prepared hell for them, and evil is the resort.

And if they wait patiently until you come out to them, it would certainly be better for them, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Nay, they rejected the truth when it came to them, so they are (now) in a state of confusion.

Were We then fatigued with the first creation? Yet are they in doubt with regard to a new creation.

And how many a generation did We destroy before them who were mightier in prowess than they, so they went about and about in the lands. Is there a place of refuge?

Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;

(It is) the day on which they shall be tried at the fire.

And in the morning they asked forgiveness.

And in Samood: When it was said to them: Enjoy yourselves for a while.

But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.

Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.

Those who sport entering into vain discourses.

And round them shall go boys of theirs as if they were hidden pearls.

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

Or have they the means by which they listen? Then let their listener bring a clear authority.

Or have they the unseen so that they write (it) down?

Or have they a god other than Allah? Glory be to Allah from what they set up (with Him).

The day on which their struggle shall not avail them aught, nor shall they be helped.

And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate;

Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them; therefore watch them and have patience.

Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and spend out of what He has made you to be successors of; for those of you who believe and spend shall have a great reward.

Surely (as for) the charitable men and the charitable women and (those who) set apart for Allah a goodly portion, it shall be doubled for them and they shall have a noble reward.

And (as for) those who believe in Allah and His messengers, these it is that are the truthful and the faithful ones in the sight of their Lord: they shall have their reward and their light, and (as for) those who disbelieve and reject Our communications, these are the inmates of the hell.

Have you not seen those who befriend a people with whom Allah is wroth? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear falsely while they know.

Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment; surely what they do is evil.

They make their oaths to serve as a cover so they turn away from Allah's way; therefore they shall have an abasing chastisement.

Neither their wealth nor their children shall avail them aught against Allah; they are the inmates of the fire, therein they shall abide.

And had it not been that Allah had decreed for them the exile, He would certainly have punished them in this world, and m the hereafter they shall have chastisement of the fire.

Like those before them shortly; they tasted the evil result of their affair, and they shall have a painful punishment.

O you who believe! when believing women come to you flying, then examine them; Allah knows best their faith; then if you find them to be believing women, do not send them back to the unbelievers, neither are these (women) lawful for them, nor are those (men) lawful for them, and give them what they have spent; and no blame attaches to you in marrying them when you give them their dowries; and hold not to the ties of marriage of unbelieving women, and ask for what you have spent, and kt them ask for what they have spent. That is Allah's judgment; He judges between you, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.

That is because they believe, then disbelieve, so a seal is set upon their hearts so that they do not understand.

And when it is said to them: Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you, they turn back their heads and you may see them turning away while they are big with pride.

It is alike to them whether you beg forgiveness for them or do not beg forgiveness for them; Allah will never forgive them; surely Allah does not guide the transgressing people.

Has there not come to you the story of those who disbelieved before, then tasted the evil result of their conduct, and they had a painful punishment?

Allah has prepared for them severe chastisement, therefore be careful of (your duty to) Allah, O men of understanding who believe! Allah has indeed revealed to you a reminder,

And certainly We have adorned this lower heaven with lamps and We have made these missiles for the Shaitans, and We have prepared for them the chastisement of burning.
