الأنبياء

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they turn away in heedlessness.

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness.

2 Never cometh there unto them a new reminder from their Lord but they listen to it while they play,

2 Comes not unto them an admonition (a chapter of the Qur'an) from their Lord as a recent revelation but they listen to it while they play

3 With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong - doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you ? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it) ?

3 With their hearts occupied (with evil things). Those who do wrong, conceal their private counsels, (saying): "Is this (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) more than a human being like you? Will you submit to magic while you see it?"

4 He saith: My Lord knoweth what is spoken in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

4 He (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "My Lord knows (every) word (spoken) in the heavens and on earth. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."

5 Nay, say they, (these are but) muddled dreams; nay, he hath but invented it; nay, he is but a poet. Let him bring us a portent even as those of old (who were God's messengers) were sent (with portents).

5 Nay, they say: "These (revelations of the Qur'an which are revealed to Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are mixed up false dreams! Nay, he has invented them! - Nay, he is a poet! Let him then bring us an Ayah (sign as a proof) like the ones (Prophets) the former were sent (with)!"

6 Not a township believed of those which We destroyed before them (though We sent them portents): would they then believe ?

6 Not one of the towns (populations), of those which We destroyed, believed before them (though We sent them signs): will they then believe?

7 And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men, whom We inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not ?

7 And We sent not before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) but men to whom We revealed. So ask the people of the Reminder [Scriptures - the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel)] if you do not know.

8 We gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortals.

8 And We did not create them (the Messengers, with) bodies that ate not food, nor were they immortals.

9 Then we fulfilled the promise unto them. So we delivered them and whom We would, and We destroyed the prodigals.

9 Then We fulfilled to them the promise. So We saved them and those whom We willed, but We destroyed Al-Musrifun (i.e. disbelievers in Allah, in His Messengers, extravagants, transgressors of Allah's limits by committing crimes, oppressions, polytheism and sins).

10 Now We have revealed unto you a Scripture wherein is your Reminder. Have ye then no sense ?

10 Indeed, We have sent down for you (O mankind) a Book (the Qur'an) in which there is Dhikrukum,(your Reminder or an honour for you i.e. honour for the one who follows the teaching of the Qur'an and acts on its teachings). Will you not then understand?

11 How many a community that dealt unjustly have We shattered, and raised up after them another folk!

11 How many a town (community) given to wrong-doing, have We destroyed, and raised up after them another people!

12 And, when they felt Our might, behold them fleeing from it!

12 Then, when they perceived (saw) Our Torment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it.

13 (But it was said unto them): Flee not, but return to that (existence) which emasculated you and to your dwellings, that ye may be questioned.

13 Flee not, but return to that wherein you lived a luxurious life, and to your homes, in order that you may be questioned.

14 They cried: Alas for us! we were wrong - doers.

14 They cried: "Woe to us! Certainly we have been Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah)."

15 And this their crying ceased not till We made them as reaped corn, extinct.

15 And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is reaped, extinct (dead).

16 We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them in play.

16 We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for a (mere) play.

17 If We had wished to find a pastime, We could have found it in Our presence - if We ever did.

17 Had We intended to take a pastime (i.e. a wife or a son), We could surely have taken it from Us, if We were going to do (that).

18 Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him).

18 Nay, We fling (send down) the truth (this Qur'an) against the falsehood (disbelief), so it destroys it, and behold, it (falsehood) is vanished. And woe to you for that (lie) which you ascribe (to Allah by uttering that Allah has a wife and a son).

19 Unto Him belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who dwell in His presence are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they weary;

19 To Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and on earth. And those who are near Him (i.e. the angels) are not too proud to worship Him, nor are they weary (of His worship).

20 They glorify (Him) night and day; they flag not.

20 They (i.e. the angels) glorify His Praises night and day, (and) they never slacken (to do so).

21 Or have they chosen gods from the earth who raise the dead ?

21 Or have they taken (for worship) alihah (gods) from the earth who raise the dead?

22 If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him).

22 Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) alihah (gods) besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above all that (evil) they associate with Him!

23 He will not be questioned as to that which He doeth, but they will be questioned.

23 He cannot be questioned as to what He does, while they will be questioned.

24 Or have they chosen other gods beside Him ? say: Bring your proof (of their godhead). This is the Reminder of those with me and those before me, but most of them know not the Truth and so they are averse.

24 Or have they taken for worship (other) alihah (gods) besides Him? Say: "Bring your proof." This (the Qur'an) is the Reminder for those with me and the Reminder for those before me. But most of them know not the Truth, so they are averse.

25 And We sent no messenger before thee but We inspired him, (saying): There is no God save Me (Allah), so worship Me.

25 And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) but We revealed to him (saying): La ilaha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."

26 And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son. Be He Glorified! Nay, but (those whom they call sons) are honoured slaves;

26 And they say: "The Most Gracious (Allah) has begotten a son (or children)." Glory to Him! They [whom they call children of Allah i.e. the angels, 'Îsa (Jesus) - son of Maryam (Mary), 'Uzair (Ezra)], are but honoured slaves.

27 They speak not until He hath spoken, and they act by His command.

27 They speak not until He has spoken, and they act on His Command.

28 He knoweth what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him whom He accepteth, and they quake for awe of Him.

28 He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased. And they stand in awe for fear of Him.

29 And one of them who should say: Lo! I am a god beside Him, that one We should repay with hell. Thus We Repay wrong - doers.

29 And if any of them should say: "Verily, I am an ilah (a god) besides Him (Allah)," such a one We should recompense with Hell. Thus We recompense the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).

30 Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water ? Will they not then believe ?

30 Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

31 And We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with them, and We have placed therein ravines as roads that haply they may find their way.

31 And We have placed on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with them, and We placed therein broad highways for them to pass through, that they may be guided.

32 And we have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents.

32 And We have made the heaven a roof, safe and well guarded. Yet they turn away from its signs (i.e. sun, moon, winds, clouds, etc.).

33 And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit.

33 And He it is Who has created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in an orbit floating.

34 We appointed immortality for no mortal before thee. What! if thou diest, can they be immortal!

34 And We granted not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): then if you die, would they live forever?

35 Every soul must taste of death, and We try you with evil and with good, for ordeal. And unto Us ye will be returned.

35 Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good. And to Us you will be returned.

36 And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods ? And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent.

36 And when those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allah) see you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), they take you not except for mockery (saying): "Is this the one who talks (badly) about your gods?" While they disbelieve at the mention of the Most Gracious (Allah). [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi].

37 Man is made of haste. I shall show you My portents, but ask Me not to hasten.

37 Man is created of haste. I will show you My Ayat (torments, proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So ask Me not to hasten (them).

38 And they say: When will this promise (be fulfilled), if ye are truthful ?

38 And they say: "When will this promise (come to pass), if you are truthful."

39 If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped!

39 If only those who disbelieved knew (the time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces, nor from their backs, and they will not be helped.

40 Nay, but it will come upon them unawares so that it will stupefy them, and they will be unable to repel it, neither will they be reprieved.

40 Nay, it (the Fire or the Day of Resurrection) will come upon them all of a sudden and will perplex them, and they will have no power to avert it nor will they get respite.

41 Messengers before thee, indeed, were mocked, but that whereat they mocked surrounded those who scoffed at them.

41 Indeed, (many) Messengers were mocked before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), but the scoffers were surrounded by that, whereat they used to mock.

42 Say: Who guardeth you in the night or in the day from the Beneficent ? Nay, but they turn away from mention of their Lord!

42 Say: "Who can guard and protect you in the night or in the day from the (punishment of the) Most Gracious (Allah)?" Nay, but they turn away from the remembrance of their Lord.

43 Or have they gods who can shield them from Us ? They cannot help themselves nor can they be defended from Us.

43 Or have they alihah (gods) who can guard them from Us? They have no power to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us (i.e. from Our Torment).

44 Nay, but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew long for them. See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts ? Can they then be the victors ?

44 Nay, We gave the luxuries of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew long for them. See they not that We gradually reduce the land (in their control) from its outlying borders? Is it then they who will overcome?

45 Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I warn you only by the Inspiration. But the deaf hear not the call when they are warned.

45 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I warn you only by the revelation (from Allah and not by the opinion of the religious scholars and others). But the deaf (who follow the religious scholars and others blindly) will not hear the call, (even) when they are warned [i.e. one should follow only the Qur'an and the Sunnah (legal ways, orders, acts of worship, and the statements of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, as the companions of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم did)] .

46 And if a breath of thy Lord's punishment were to touch them, they assuredly would say: Alas for us! Lo! we were wrong - doers.

46 And if a breath (minor calamity) of the Torment of your Lord touches them, they will surely cry: "Woe unto us! Indeed we have been Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."

47 And We set a just balance for the Day of Resurrection so that no soul is wronged in aught. Though it be of the weight of a grain of mustard seed, We bring it. And We suffice for reckoners.

47 And We shall set up balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything. And if there be the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And Sufficient are We to take account.

48 And We verily gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion (of right and wrong) and a light and a Reminder for those who keep from evil,

48 And indeed We granted to Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron) the criterion (of right and wrong), and a shining light [i.e. the Taurat (Torah)] and a Reminder for Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).

49 Those who fear their Lord in secret and who dread the Hour (of doom).

49 Those who fear their Lord without seeing Him, and they are afraid of the Hour.

50 This is a blessed Reminder that we have revealed: Will ye then reject it ?

50 And this is a blessed Reminder (the Qur'an) which We have sent down: will you then (dare to) deny it?

51 And We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him,

51 And indeed We bestowed aforetime on Ibrahim (Abraham) his (portion of) guidance, and We were Well-Acquainted with him (as to his Belief in the Oneness of Allah).

52 When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion ?

52 When he said to his father and his people: "What are these images, to which you are devoted?"

53 They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them.

53 They said: "We found our fathers worshipping them."

54 He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error.

54 He said: "Indeed, you and your fathers have been in manifest error."

55 They said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester ?

55 They said: "Have you brought us the truth, or are you one of those who play about?"

56 He said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that.

56 He said: "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them and to that I am one of the witnesses.

57 And, by Allah, I shall circumvent your idols after ye have gone away and turned your backs.

57 "And by Allah, I shall plot a plan (to destroy) your idols after you have gone away and turned your backs."

58 Then he reduced them to fragments, all save the chief of them, that haply they might have recourse to it.

58 So he broke them to pieces, (all) except the biggest of them, that they might turn to it.

59 They said: Who hath done this to our gods ? Surely it must be some evil - doer.

59 They said: "Who has done this to our alihah (gods)? He must indeed be one of the Zalimun (wrong-doers)."

60 They said: We heard a youth make mention of them, who is called Abraham.

60 They said: "We heard a young man talking against them, who is called Ibrahim (Abraham)."

61 They said: Then bring him (hither) before the people's eyes that they may testify.

61 They said: "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may testify."

62 They said: Is it thou who hast done this to our gods, O Abraham ?

62 They said: "Are you the one who has done this to our gods, O Ibrahim (Abraham)?"

63 He said: But this, their chief hath done it. So question them, if they can speak.

63 [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Nay, this one, the biggest of them (idols) did it. Ask them, if they can speak!"

64 Then gathered they apart and said: Lo! ye yourselves are the wrong - doers.

64 So they turned to themselves and said: "Verily, you are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."

65 And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not.

65 Then they turned to themselves (their first thought and said): "Indeed you [Ibrahim (Abraham)] know well that these (idols) speak not!"

66 He said: Worship ye then instead of Allah that which cannot profit you at all, nor harm you ?

66 [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Do you then worship besides Allah, things that can neither profit you, nor harm you?

67 Fie on you and all that ye worship instead of Allah! Have ye then no sense ?

67 "Fie upon you, and upon that which you worship besides Allah! Have you then no sense?"

68 They cried: Burn him and stand by your gods, if ye will be doing.

68 They said: "Burn him and help your alihah (gods), if you will be doing."

69 We said: O fire, be coolness and peace for Abraham,

69 We (Allah) said: "O fire! Be you coolness and safety for Ibrahim (Abraham)!"

70 And they wished to set a snare for him, but We made them the greater losers.

70 And they wanted to harm him, but We made them the worst losers.

71 And We rescued him and Lot (and brought them) to the land which We have blessed for (all) peoples.

71 And We rescued him and Lut (Lot) to the land which We have blessed for the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn).

72 And We bestowed upon him Isaac, and Jacob as a grandson. Each of them We made righteous.

72 And We bestowed upon him Ishaq (Isaac), and (a grandson) Ya'qub (Jacob). Each one We made righteous.

73 And We made them chiefs who guide by Our command, and We inspired in them the doing of good deeds and the right establishment of worship and the giving of alms, and they were worshippers of Us (alone).

73 And We made them leaders, guiding (mankind) by Our Command, and We revealed to them the doing of good deeds, performing Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and the giving of Zakat and of Us (Alone) they were the worshippers.

74 And unto Lot we gave judgment and knowledge, and We delivered him from the community that did abominations. Lo! they were folk of evil, lewd.

74 And (remember) Lut (Lot), We gave him Hukm (right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) and (religious) knowledge, and We saved him from the town (folk) who practised Al-Khaba'ith (evil, wicked and filthy deeds). Verily, they were a people given to evil, and were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

75 And We brought him in unto Our mercy. Lo! he was of the righteous.

75 And We admitted him to Our Mercy; truly, he was of the righteous.

76 And Noah, when he cried of old, We heard his prayer and saved him and his household from the great affliction.

76 And (remember) Nuh (Noah), when he cried (to Us) aforetime. We answered his invocation and saved him and his family from the great distress.

77 And delivered him from the people who denied Our revelations. Lo! they were folk of evil, therefor did We drown them all.

77 We helped him against the people who denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). Verily, they were a people given to evil. So We drowned them all.

78 And David and Solomon, when they gave judgment concerning the field, when people's sheep had strayed and browsed therein by night; and We were witnesses to their judgment.

78 And (remember) Dawud (David) and Sulaiman (Solomon), when they gave judgement in the case of the field in which the sheep of certain people had pastured at night; and We were witness to their judgement.

79 And We made Solomon to understand (the case); and unto each of them We gave judgment and knowledge. And we subdued the hills and the birds to hymn (His) praise along with David. We were the doers (thereof).

79 And We made Sulaiman (Solomon) to understand (the case); and to each of them We gave Hukm (right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains and the birds to glorify Our Praises along with Dawud (David). And it was We Who were the doer (of all these things).

80 And We taught him the art of making garments (of mail) to protect you in your daring. Are ye then thankful ?

80 And We taught him the making of metal coats of mail (for battles), to protect you in your fighting. Are you then grateful?

81 And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are Aware.

81 And to Sulaiman (Solomon) (We subjected) the wind strongly raging, running by his command towards the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are the All-Knower.

82 And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for pearls) for him and did other work, and We were warders unto them.

82 And of the Shayatin (devils from the jinn) were some who dived for him, and did other work besides that; and it was We Who guarded them.

83 And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.

83 And (remember) Ayyub (Job), when he cried to his Lord: "Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy."

84 Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers;

84 So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his family to him (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them as a mercy from Ourselves and a Reminder for all those who worship Us.

85 And (mention) Ishmael, and Idris, and Dhu'l - Kifl. All were of the steadfast.

85 And (remember) Isma'il (Ishmael), and Idris (Enoch) and Dhul-Kifl (Isaiah): all were from among As-Sabirun (the patient).

86 And We brought them in unto Our mercy. Lo! they are among the righteous.

86 And We admitted them to Our Mercy. Verily, they were of the righteous.

87 And (mention) Dhu'n - Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no God save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong - doer.

87 And (remember) Dhun-Nun (Jonah), when he went off in anger, and imagined that We shall not punish him (i.e. the calamities which had befallen him)! But he cried through the darkness (saying): La ilaha illa Anta [none has the right to be worshipped but You (O, Allah)], Glorified (and Exalted) be You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]! Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers."

88 Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus we save believers.

88 So We answered his call, and delivered him from the distress. And thus We do deliver the believers (who believe in the Oneness of Allah, abstain from evil and work righteousness).

89 And Zachariah, when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me not childless, though Thou art the Best of inheritors.

89 And (remember) Zakariyya (Zachariah), when he cried to his Lord: "O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors."

90 Then We heard his prayer, and bestowed upon him John, and adjusted his wife (to bear a child) for him. Lo! they used to vie one with the other in good deeds, and they cried unto Us in longing and in fear, and were submissive unto Us.

90 So We answered his call, and We bestowed upon him Yahya (John), and cured his wife (to bear a child) for him. Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us.

91 And she who was chaste, therefor We breathed into her (something) of Our Spirit and made her and her son a token for (all) peoples.

91 And she who guarded her chastity [Virgin Maryam (Mary)]: We breathed into (the sleeves of) her (shirt or garment) [through Our Ruh - Jibril (Gabriel)], and We made her and her son ['Îsa (Jesus)] a sign for Al-'Alamin (the mankind and jinn).

92 Lo! this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

92 Truly! This, your Ummah [Shari'ah or religion (Islamic Monotheism)] is one religion, and I am your Lord, therefore worship Me (Alone). [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

93 And they have broken their religion (into fragments) among them, (yet) all are returning unto Us.

93 But they have broken up and differed as regards their religion among themselves. (And) they all shall return to Us.

94 Then whoso doeth some good works and is a believer, there will be no rejection of his effort. Lo! We record (it) for him.

94 So whoever does righteous good deeds while he is a believer (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), his efforts will not be rejected. Verily We record it for him (in his Book of deeds).

95 And there is a ban upon any community which We have destroyed: that they shall not return.

95 And a ban is laid on every town (population) which We have destroyed that they shall not return (to this world again, nor repent to Us).

96 Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they hasten out of every mound,

96 Until, when Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) are let loose (from their barrier), and they swoop down from every mound.

97 And the True Promise draweth nigh; then behold them, staring wide (in terror), the eyes of those who disbelieve! (They say): Alas for us! We (lived) in forgetfulness of this. Ah, but we were wrong - doers!

97 And the true promise (Day of Resurrection) shall draw near (of fulfillment). Then (when mankind is resurrected from their graves), you shall see the eyes of the disbelievers fixedly staring in horror. (They will say): "Woe to us! We were indeed heedless of this - nay, but we were Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)."

98 Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel of hell. Thereunto ye will come.

98 Certainly you (disbelievers) and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell! (Surely), you will enter it.

99 If these had been gods they would not have come thither, but all will abide therein.

99 Had these (idols) been alihah (gods), they would not have entered there (Hell), and all of them will abide therein.

100 Therein wailing is their portion, and therein they hear not.

100 Therein they will be breathing out with deep sighs and roaring and therein they will hear not.

101 Lo! those unto whom kindness hath gone forth before from Us, they will be far removed from thence.

101 Verily, those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they will be removed far therefrom (Hell) [e.g. 'Îsa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary); 'Uzair (Ezra)].

102 They will not hear the slightest sound thereof, while they abide in that which their souls desire.

102 They shall not hear the slightest sound of it (Hell), while they abide in that which their ownselves desire.

103 The Supreme Horror will not grieve them, and the angels will welcome them, (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised;

103 The greatest terror (on the Day of Resurrection) will not grieve them, and the angels will meet them, (with the greeting): "This is your Day which you were promised."

104 The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it.

104 And (remember) the Day when We shall roll up the heaven like a scroll rolled up for books. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it.

105 And verily we have written in the Scripture, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth:

105 And indeed We have written in Az-Zabur [i.e. all the revealed Holy Books - the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Psalms, the Qur'an,] after (We have already written in) Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (the Book that is in the heaven with Allah), that My righteous slaves shall inherit the land (i.e. the land of Paradise).

106 Lo! there is a plain statement for folk who are devout.

106 Verily, in this (the Qur'an) there is a plain Message for people who worship Allah (i.e. the true, real believers of Islamic Monotheism who act practically on the Qur'an and the Sunnah - legal ways of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم).

107 We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.

107 And We have sent you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): not but as a mercy for the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
