18 Enjoying in that which their Lord has bestowed on them, and (the fact that) their Lord saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire.

21 And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds. Every person, for what he earned, is retained.

21 And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them (there), and We deprive them of nought of their (life's) work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned.

27 So Allah conferred favor upon us and protected us from the punishment of the Scorching Fire.

27 But Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.

28 "Verily, We used to invoke Him (Alone and none else) before. Verily, He is Al-Barr (the Most Subtle, Kind, Courteous, and Generous), the Most Merciful."

28 Indeed, we used to supplicate Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."

28 Lo! we used to pray unto Him of old. Lo! He is the Benign, the Merciful.

29 Therefore, remind (mankind of Islamic Monotheism, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). By the Grace of Allah, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a madman.

29 So remind [O Muhammad], for you are not, by the favor of your Lord, a soothsayer or a madman.

29 Therefor warn (men, O Muhammad). By the grace of Allah thou art neither soothsayer nor madman.

30 Or do they say: "(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is a poet! We await for him some calamity by time!"

30 Or do they say [of you], "A poet for whom we await a misfortune of time?"

30 Or say they: (he is) a poet, (one) for whom we may expect the accident of time ?

31 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to them): "Wait! I am with you among the waiters!"

31 Say, "Wait, for indeed I am, with you, among the waiters."

34 Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.

34 Then let them produce speech the like thereof, if they are truthful.

39 Or hath He daughters whereas ye have sons ?

40 Or is it that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask a wage from them (for your preaching of Islamic Monotheism) so that they are burdened with a load of debt?

40 Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

40 Or askest thou (Muhammad) a fee from them so that they are plunged in debt ?

41 Or that the Ghaib (Unseen) is with them, and they write it down?

41 Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

41 Or possess they the Unseen so that they can write (it) down ?

42 Or do they intend a plot (against you O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)? But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) are themselves plotted against!

42 Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

42 Or seek they to ensnare (the messenger) ? But those who disbelieve, they are the ensnared!

44 And if they were to see a fragment of the heaven falling, they would say: A heap of clouds.

45 So leave them alone till they meet their Day, in which they will sink into a fainting (with horror).

45 So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

45 Then let them be (O Muhammad), till they meet their day, in which they will be thunder - stricken,

46 The Day when their plotting shall not avail them at all nor will they be helped (i.e. they will receive their torment in Hell).

46 The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.

46 A day in which their guile will naught avail them, nor will they be helped.

47 And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment (i.e. the torment in this world and in their graves) before this; but most of them know not. (Tafsir At-Tabari).

47 And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.

47 And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a punishment beyond that. But most of them know not.

48 And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord when you arise.

48 So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for thy Lord's decree, for surely thou art in Our sight; and hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest,

49 And in the nighttime also glorify His Praises - and at the setting of the stars.

49 And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.

49 And in the night - time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars.
