9 Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.

9 He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse.

10 Destroyed are the falsifiers

10 Accursed be the conjecturers

11 Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.

11 Who are careless in an abyss!

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

12 They ask: When is the Day of Judgment ?

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

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

14 [And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."

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

15 Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,

15 Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,

21 And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see ?

22 And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.

22 And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised;

23 Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.

23 And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak.

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).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

33 To send down upon them stones of clay,

33 That we may send upon them stones of clay,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

55 And warn, for warning profiteth believers.

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

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

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

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

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