23 Verily, this my brother (in religion) has ninety-nine ewes, while I have (only) one ewe, and he says: "Hand it over to me, and he overpowered me in speech."

24 [David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes.

26 [We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah."

56 Hell, where they will burn, an evil resting - place.

56 Hell! Where they will burn, and worst (indeed) is that place to rest!

57 This - so let them taste it - is scalding water and [foul] purulence.

57 Here is a boiling and an ice - cold draught, so let them taste it,

57 This is so! Then let them taste it - a boiling fluid and dirty wound discharges.

58 And other [punishments] of its type [in various] kinds.

58 And other (torment) of the kind in pairs (the two extremes)!

58 And other (torments) of similar kind - all together!

59 [Its inhabitants will say], "This is a company bursting in with you. No welcome for them. Indeed, they will burn in the Fire."

64 Indeed, that is truth - the quarreling of the people of the Fire.

64 Lo! that is very truth: the wrangling of the dwellers in the Fire.

64 Verily, that is the very truth - the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!

65 Say, [O Muhammad], "I am only a warner, and there is not any deity except Allah, the One, the Prevailing.

65 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I am only a warner, and there is no God save Allah, the One, the Absolute,

65 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I am only a warner and there is no Ilah (God) except Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) the One, the Irresistible,

66 Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver."

66 Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Mighty, the Pardoning.

66 "The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving."

67 Say, "It is great news

67 Say: It is tremendous tidings

67 Say: "That (this Qur'an) is a great news,

68 From which you turn away.

68 Whence ye turn away!

68 "From which you turn away!

69 I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly [of angels] when they were disputing [the creation of Adam].

69 I had no knowledge of the Highest Chiefs when they disputed;

69 "I had no knowledge of the chiefs (angels) on high when they were disputing and discussing (about the creation of Adam).

70 It has not been revealed to me except that I am a clear warner."

70 It is revealed unto me only that I may be a plain warner.

70 "Only this has been revealed to me, that I am a plain warner."

71 [So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.

71 When thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to create a mortal out of mire,

71 (Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Truly I am going to create man from clay".

72 So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

72 And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate,

72 So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him."

73 So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely.

73 The angels fell down prostrate, every one,

73 So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them:

74 Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the disbelievers.

74 Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers.

74 Except Iblis (Satan): he was proud and was one of the disbelievers.

75 [Allah] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"

75 He said: O Iblis! What hindereth thee from falling prostrate before that which I have created with both My hands ? Art thou too proud or art thou of the high exalted ?

75 (Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands . Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?"

76 He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

76 He said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire, whilst him Thou didst create of clay.

76 [Iblis (Satan)] said: "I am better than he. You created me from fire, and You created him from clay."

77 [Allah] said, "Then get out of Paradise, for indeed, you are expelled.

77 He said: Go forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast,

77 (Allah) said: "Then get out from here; for verily you are outcast.

78 And indeed, upon you is My curse until the Day of Recompense."

78 And lo! My curse is on thee till the Day of Judgment.

78 "And verily My Curse is on you till the Day of Recompense."

79 He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

79 He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised.

79 [Iblis (Satan)] said: "My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected."

80 [Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

80 He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved

80 (Allah) said: "Verily! You are of those allowed respite."

81 Until the Day of the time well - known."

81 Until the day of the time appointed.

81 "Till the Day of the time appointed."

82 [Iblees] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all

82 He said: Then, by Thy might, I surely will beguile them every one,

82 [Iblis (Satan)] said: "By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all,

83 Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

83 Save Thy single - minded slaves among them.

83 "Except Your chosen slaves amongst them (i.e. faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism)."

84 [Allah] said, "The truth [is My oath], and the truth I say -

84 He said: The Truth is, and the Truth I speak,

84 (Allah) said: "The Truth is - and the Truth I say -

85 [That] I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together."

85 That I shall fill hell with thee and with such of them as follow thee, together.

85 That I will fill Hell with you [Iblis (Satan)] and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together."

86 Say, [O Muhammad], "I do not ask you for the Qur'an any payment, and I am not of the pretentious

86 Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee for this, and I am no simulating.

86 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur'an), nor am I one of the Mutakallifun (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist).

87 It is but a reminder to the worlds.

87 Lo! it is naught else than a reminder for all peoples

87 "It (this Qur'an) is only a Reminder for all the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn).
