12 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment ?

12 They ask: "When will be the Day of Recompense?"

12 They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

13 (It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,

13 (It will be) a Day when they will be tried (punished i.e. burnt) over the Fire!

13 [It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

14 (And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.

14 "Taste you your trial (punishment i.e. burning)! This is what you used to ask to be hastened!"

16 Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good;

16 Taking joy in the things which their Lord has given them. Verily, they were before this Muhsinun (good-doers. See V.2:112).

16 Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.

17 They used to sleep but little of the night,

17 They used to sleep but little by night [invoking their Lord (Allah) and praying, with fear and hope].

17 They used to sleep but little of the night,

18 And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness,

18 And in the hours before dawn, they were (found) asking (Allah) for forgiveness.

19 And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share.

24 Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O Muhammad) ?

24 Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibril (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahim (Abraham)?

24 Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham? -

25 When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).

25 When they came in to him and said: "Salam, (peace be upon you)!" He answered: "Salam, (peace be upon you)," and said: "You are a people unknown to me."

25 When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

26 Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf;

26 Then he turned to his household, and brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahim (Abraham) was mainly cows].

26 Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

27 And he set it before them, saying: Will ye not eat ?

27 And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?"

27 And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

28 Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son.

28 Then he conceived fear of them (when they ate not). They said: "Fear not." And they gave him glad tidings of a son having knowledge (about Allah and His religion of True Monotheism).

28 And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

29 Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman!

29 Then his wife came forward with a loud voice: she smote her face, and said: "A barren old woman!"

29 And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

30 They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower.

30 They said: "Even so says your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower."

30 They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."

31 (Abraham) said: And (afterward) what is your errand, O ye sent (from Allah) ?

31 [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O Messengers?"

31 [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

32 They said: Lo! we are sent unto a guilty folk,

32 They said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, criminals, disbelievers in Allah)

32 They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

33 That we may send upon them stones of clay,

33 To send down upon them stones of baked clay.

33 To send down upon them stones of clay,

34 Marked by thy Lord for (the destruction of) the wanton.

34 Marked by your Lord for the Musrifun (polytheists, criminals, sinners - those who trespass Allah's set limits in evil-doings by committing great sins).

34 Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

35 Then we brought forth such believers as were there.

35 So We brought out from therein the believers.

35 So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.

36 But We found there but one house of those surrendered (to Allah).

36 But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one [of Lut (Lot) and his two daughters].

36 And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.

37 And We left behind therein a portent for those who fear a painful doom.

37 And We have left there a sign (i.e. the place of the Dead Sea in Palestine) for those who fear the painful torment.

37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.

38 And in Moses (too, there is a portent) when We sent him unto Pharaoh with clear warrant,

38 And in Musa (Moses) (too, there is a sign), when We sent him to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with a manifest authority.

38 And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.

39 But he withdrew (confiding) in his might, and said: A wizard or a madman.

39 But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] turned away (from Belief in might) along with his hosts, and said: "A sorcerer, or a madman."

39 But he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman."

40 So We seized him and his hosts and flung them in the sea, for he was reprobate.

40 So We took him and his hosts, and dumped them into the sea, for he was blameworthy.

40 So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.

41 And in (the tribe of) A'ad (there is a portent) when we sent the fatal wind against them.

41 And in 'Ad (there is also a sign) when We sent against them the barren wind;

41 And in 'Aad [was a sign], when We sent against them the barren wind.

42 It spared naught that it reached, but made it (all) as dust.

42 It spared nothing that it reached, but blew it into broken spreads of rotten ruins.

42 It left nothing of what it came upon but that it made it like disintegrated ruins.

43 And in (the tribe of) Thamud (there is a portent) when it was told them: Take your ease awhile.

43 And in Thamud (there is also a sign), when they were told: "Enjoy yourselves for a while!"

43 And in Thamud, when it was said to them, "Enjoy yourselves for a time."

44 But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;

44 But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord, so the Sa'iqah overtook them while they were looking.

44 But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

45 And they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.

45 Then they were unable to rise up, nor could they help themselves.

45 And they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves.

46 And the folk of Noah aforetime. Lo! they were licentious folk.

46 (So were) the people of Nuh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a people who were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

46 And [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient.

47 We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof).

47 With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof.

47 And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

48 And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!

48 And We have spread out the earth: how Excellent Spreader (thereof) are We!

48 And the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer.

49 And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect.

49 And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (the Grace of Allah).

49 And of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember.

50 Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.

50 So flee to Allah (from His Torment to His Mercy - Islamic Monotheism). Verily, I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.

50 So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

51 And set not any other god along with Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from Him.

51 And set not up (or worship not) any other ilah (god) along with Allah [Glorified be He (Alone), Exalted above all that they associate as partners with Him]. Verily, I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) am a plain warner to you from Him.

51 And do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

52 Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!

52 Likewise, no Messenger came to those before them but they said: "A sorcerer or a madman!"

52 Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."

53 Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another ? Nay, but they are froward folk.

53 Have they (the people of the past) transmitted this saying to these (Quraish pagans)? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds (in disbelief)!

53 Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.

54 So withdraw from them (O Muhammad), for thou art in no wise blameworthy,

54 So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them (Quraish pagans), you are not blame-worthy (as you have conveyed Allah's Message).

54 So leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.

55 And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

55 And remind (by preaching the Qur'an, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), for verily, the reminding profits the believers.

55 And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.

56 I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.

56 And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).

56 And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

57 I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.

57 I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures).

57 I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.

58 Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.

58 Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.

58 Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.

59 And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).

59 And verily, for those who do wrong, there is a portion of torment like to the evil portion of torment (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on!

59 And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.

60 And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.

60 Then woe to those who disbelieve (in Allah and His Oneness - Islamic Monotheism) from their Day which they have been promised (for their punishment).

60 And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
