This is what you wished to hasten.’ The righteous will be in Gardens with [flowing] springs They will receive their Lord’s gifts because of the good they did before sleeping only little at night praying at dawn for God’s forgiveness giving a rightful share of their wealth to the beggar and the deprived On earth there are signs for those with sure faith–– and in yourselves too, do you not see?–– in the sky is your sustenance and all that you are promised By the Lord of the heavens and earth! All this is as real as your speaking [Muhammad], have you heard the story of the honoured guests of Abraham They went in to see him and said, ‘Peace.’ ‘Peace,’ he said, [adding to himself] ‘These people are strangers.’ He turned quickly to his household, brought out a fat calf and placed it before them. ‘Will you not eat?’ he said beginning to be afraid of them, but they said, ‘Do not be afraid.’ They gave him good news of a son who would be gifted with knowledge His wife then entered with a loud cry, struck her face, and said, ‘A barren old woman?’ but they said, ‘It will be so. This is what your Lord said, and He is the Wise, the All Knowing.’ Abraham said, ‘What is your errand, messengers?’ They said, ‘We are sent to a people lost in sin to bring down rocks of clay marked by your Lord for those who exceed all bounds.’ We brought out such believers as were there We found only one household devoted to God and left the town to be a sign for those who fear the painful punishment There is another sign in Moses: We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority Pharaoh turned away with his supporters, saying, ‘This is a sorcerer, or maybe a madman,’ so We seized him and his forces and threw them into the sea: he was to blame There is another sign in the Ad: We sent the life-destroying wind against them and it reduced everything it came up against to shreds And also in the Thamud: it was said to them, ‘Make the most of your lives for a while,’ but they rebelled against their Lord’s command, so the blast took them. They looked on helplessly they could not even remain standing, let alone defend themselves Before that We destroyed the people of Noah. They were a truly sinful people We built the heavens with Our power and made them vast We spread out the earth- how well We smoothed it out and We created pairs of all things so that you [people] might take note [So, say to them, Prophet], ‘Quickly, turn to God- I am sent by Him to give you clear warning and do not set up any other god alongside Him. I am sent by Him to give you clear warning!’ Every previous people to whom a messenger was sent also said, ‘A sor-cerer, or maybe a madman!’ Did they tell one another to do this? No! They are a people who exceed all bounds so ignore them [Prophet]- you are not to blame and go on reminding [people], it is good for those who believe to be reminded I created jinn and mankind only to worship Me I want no provision from them, nor do I want them to feed Me God is the Provider, the Lord of Power, the Ever Mighty The evildoers, like their predecessors, will have a share of punishment- they need not ask Me to hasten it and woe betide those who deny the truth on the Day they have been promised Prev Next 1.The Opening 2.The Cow 3.The Family of Imraan 4.The Women 5.The Table 6.The Cattle 7.The Heights 8.The Spoils of War 9.The Repentance 10.Jonas 11.Hud 12.Joseph 13.The Thunder 14.Abraham 15.The Rock 16.The Bee 17.The Night Journey 18.The Cave 19.Mary 20.Taa-Haa 21.The Prophets 22.The Pilgrimage 23.The Believers 24.The Light 25.The Criterion 26.The Poets 27.The Ant 28.The Stories 29.The Spider 30.The Romans 31.Luqman 32.The Prostration 33.The Clans 34.Sheba 35.The Originator 36.Yaseen 37.Those drawn up in Ranks 38.The letter Saad 39.The Groups 40.The Forgiver 41.Explained in detail 42.Consultation 43.Ornaments of gold 44.The Smoke 45.Crouching 46.The Dunes 47.Muhammad 48.The Victory 49.The Inner Apartments 50.The letter Qaaf 51.The Winnowing Winds 52.The Mount 53.The Star 54.The Moon 55.The Beneficent 56.The Inevitable 57.The Iron 58.The Pleading Woman 59.The Exile 60.She that is to be examined 61.The Ranks 62.Friday 63.The Hypocrites 64.Mutual Disillusion 65.Divorce 66.The Prohibition 67.The Sovereignty 68.The Pen 69.The Reality 70.The Ascending Stairways 71.Noah 72.The Jinn 73.The Enshrouded One 74.The Cloaked One 75.The Resurrection 76.Man 77.The Emissaries 78.The Announcement 79.Those who drag forth 80.He frowned 81.The Overthrowing 82.The Cleaving 83.Defrauding 84.The Splitting Open 85.The Constellations 86.The Morning Star 87.The Most High 88.The Overwhelming 89.The Dawn 90.The City 91.The Sun 92.The Night 93.The Morning Hours 94.The Consolation 95.The Fig 96.The Clot 97.The Power, Fate 98.The Evidence 99.The Earthquake 100.The Chargers 101.The Calamity 102.Competition 103.The Declining Day, Epoch 104.The Traducer 105.The Elephant 106.Quraysh 107.Almsgiving 108.Abundance 109.The Disbelievers 110.Divine Support 111.The Palm Fibre 112.Sincerity 113.The Dawn 114.Mankind
