3 Thou art indeed one of the messengers,

3 Lo! thou art of those sent

3 Indeed you, [O Muhammad], are from among the messengers,

3 Truly, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are one of the Messengers,

4 On a Straight Way.

4 On a straight path,

4 On a straight path.

4 On the Straight Path (i.e. on Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism).

5 It is a Revelation sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

5 A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful,

5 [This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

5 (This is a Revelation) sent down by the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,

6 In order that thou mayest admonish a people, whose fathers had received no admonition, and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of Allah).

6 That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

6 That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.

6 In order that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

7 The Word is proved true against the greater part of them: for they do not believe.

7 Already hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not.

7 Already the word has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.

7 Indeed the Word (of punishment) has proved true against most of them, so they will not believe.

8 We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).

8 Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff - necked.

8 Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.

8 Verily We have put on their necks iron collars reaching to the chins, so that their heads are raised up.

9 And We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further, We have covered them up; so that they cannot see.

9 And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.

9 And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.

9 And We have put a barrier before them, and a barrier behind them, and We have covered them up, so that they cannot see.

10 The same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe.

10 Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not.

10 And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.

10 It is the same to them whether you warn them or you warn them not, they will not believe.

11 Thou canst but admonish such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen: give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous.

11 Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward.

11 You can only warn one who follows the message and fears the Most Merciful unseen. So give him good tidings of forgiveness and noble reward.

11 You can only warn him who follows the Reminder (the Qur'an), and fears the Most Gracious (Allah) unseen. Bear you to such one the glad tidings of forgiveness, and a generous reward (i.e. Paradise).

12 Verily We shall give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before and that which they leave behind, and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence).

12 Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register.

12 Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.

12 Verily, We give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before (them), and their traces and all things We have recorded with numbers (as a record) in a Clear Book.

13 Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold!, there came messengers to it.

13 Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them;

13 And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -

13 And put forward to them a similitude: the (story of the) dwellers of the town, [it is said that the town was Antioch (Antakiya)], when there came Messengers to them.

14 When We (first) sent to them two messengers, they rejected them: But We strengthened them with a third: they said, "Truly, we have been sent on a mission to you."

14 When We sent unto them twain, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto you.

14 When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened them with a third, and they said, "Indeed, we are messengers to you."

14 When We sent to them two Messengers, they belied them both; so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: "Verily we have been sent to you as Messengers."

15 The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (Allah) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: ye do nothing but lie."

15 They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie!

15 They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."

15 They (people of the town) said: "You are only human beings like ourselves, and the Most Gracious (Allah) has revealed nothing. You are only telling lies."

16 They said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you:

16 They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you,

16 They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,

16 The Messengers said: "Our Lord knows that we have been sent as Messengers to you,

17 "And our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message."

17 And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message).

17 And we are not responsible except for clear notification."

17 "And our duty is only to convey plainly (the Message)."

18 The (people) said: "for us, we augur an evil omen from you: if ye desist not, we will certainly stone you. And a grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us."

18 (The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and grievous torture will befall you at our hands.

18 They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."

18 They (people) said: "For us, we see an evil omen from you: if you cease not, we will surely stone you, and a painful torment will touch you from us."

19 They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves: (deem ye this an evil omen). If ye are admonished? Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!"

19 They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth) ? Nay, but ye are froward folk!

19 They said, "Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."

19 They (Messengers) said: "Your evil omens be with you! (Do you call it "evil omen") because you are admonished? Nay, but you are a people Musrifun (transgressing all bounds by committing all kinds of great sins, and by disobeying Allah).

20 Then there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man, saying, "O my people! Obey the messengers:

20 And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent!

20 And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.

20 And there came a man running from the farthest part of the town. He said: "O my people! Obey the Messengers.

21 "Obey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance.

21 Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided.

21 Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.

21 "Obey those who ask no wages of you (for themselves), and who are rightly guided.

22 "It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back.

22 For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back ?

22 And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned?

22 "And why should I not worship Him (Allah Alone) Who has created me and to Whom you shall be returned.

23 "Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me.

23 Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save ?

23 Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?

23 "Shall I take besides Him alihah (gods)? If the Most Gracious (Allah) intends me any harm, their intercession will be of no use for me whatsoever, nor can they save me?

24 "I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error.

24 Then truly I should be in error manifest.

24 Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.

24 "Then verily, I should be in plain error.

25 "For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me!"

25 Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me!

25 Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."

25 "Verily! I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me!"

26 It was said: "Enter thou the Garden." He said: "Ah me! Would that my People knew (what I know)! -

26 It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my people knew

26 It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know

26 It was said (to him when the disbelievers killed him): "Enter Paradise." He said: "Would that my people knew

27 "For that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honour!"

27 With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honoured ones!

27 Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."

27 "That my Lord (Allah) has forgiven me, and made me of the honoured ones!"

28 And We sent not down against his People, after him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do.

28 We sent not down against his people after him a host from heaven, nor do We ever send.

28 And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

28 And We sent not against his people after him a host from the heaven, nor was it needful for Us to send (such a thing).

29 It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent.

29 It was but one Shout, and lo! they were extinct.

29 It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

29 It was but one Saihah (shout) and lo! they (all) were still (silent,dead,destroyed).

30 Ah! Alas for (My) Servants! There comes not a messenger to them but they mock him!

30 Ah, the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him!

30 How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

30 Alas for mankind! There never came a Messenger to them but they used to mock at him.

31 See they not how many generations before them we destroyed? Not to them will they return:

31 Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed returned not unto them;

31 Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?

31 Do they not see how many of the generations We have destroyed before them? Verily, they will not return to them.

32 But each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment).

32 But all, without exception, will be brought before Us.

32 And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

32 And surely, all - everyone of them will be brought before Us.

33 A Sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.

33 A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof;

33 And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.

33 And a sign for them is the dead land. We give it life, and We bring forth from it grains, so that they eat thereof.

34 And We produce therein orchard with date - palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein:

34 And We have placed therein gardens of the date - palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein,

34 And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -

34 And We have made therein gardens of date-palms and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein.

35 That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): It was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks?

35 That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks ?

35 That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?

35 So that they may eat of the fruit thereof - and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?

36 Glory to Allah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge.

36 Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not!

36 Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.

36 Glory be to Him Who has created all the pairs of that which the earth produces, as well as of their own (human) kind (male and female), and of that which they know not.

37 And a Sign for them is the Night: We withdraw therefrom the Day, and behold they are plunged in darkness;

37 A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness.

37 And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

37 And a sign for them is the night. We withdraw therefrom the day, and behold, they are in darkness.

38 And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All - Knowing.

38 And the sun runneth on unto a resting - place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.

38 And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

38 And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.

39 And the Moon, - We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date - stalk.

39 And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm - leaf.

39 And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.

39 And the moon, We have measured for it mansions (to traverse) till it returns like the old dried curved date stalk.

40 It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).

40 It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.

40 It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.

40 It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit.

41 And a Sign for them is that We bore their race (through the Flood) in the loaded Ark;

41 And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship,

41 And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.

42 And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride.

42 And We created for them from the likes of it that which they ride.

42 And We have created for them of the like thereunto, on which they ride.

43 If it were Our Will, We could drown them: then would there be no helper (to hear their cry), nor could they be delivered,

43 And if We will, We drown them, and there is no help for them, neither can they be saved;

43 And if We should will, We could drown them; then no one responding to a cry would there be for them, nor would they be saved

43 And if We will, We shall drown them, and there will be no shout (or helper) for them (to hear their cry for help), nor will they be saved.

44 Except by way of Mercy from Us, and by way of (world) convenience (to serve them) for a time.

44 Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while.

44 Except as a mercy from Us and provision for a time.

44 Unless it be a mercy from Us, and as an enjoyment for a while.

45 When they are told, "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy," (they turn back).

45 When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy (they are heedless).

45 But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy... "

45 And when it is said to them: "Fear of that which is before you (worldly torments), and that which is behind you (torments in the Hereafter), in order that you may receive Mercy (i.e. if you believe in Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism, and avoid polytheism, and obey Allah with righteous deeds)."

46 Not a Sign comes to them from among the Signs of their Lord, but they turn away therefrom.

46 Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it!

46 And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.

46 And never came an Ayah from among the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it.

47 And when they are told, "Spend ye of (the bounties) with which Allah has provided you," the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Shall we then feed those whom, if Allah had so willed, He would have fed, (Himself)? - Ye are in nothing but manifest error."

47 And when it is said unto them: Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed ? Ye are in naught else than error manifest.

47 And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."

47 And when it is said to them: "Spend of that with which Allah has provided you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe: "Shall we feed those whom, if Allah willed, He (Himself) would have fed? You are only in a plain error."

48 Further, they say, "When will this promise (come to pass), if what ye say is true?"

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

48 And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"

48 And they say: "When will this promise (i.e. Resurrection) be fulfilled, if you are truthful?"

49 They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves!

49 They await but one Shout, which will surprise them while they are disputing.

49 They do not await except one blast which will seize them while they are disputing.

49 They await only but a single Saihah (shout), which will seize them while they are disputing!

50 No (chance) will they then have, by will, to dispose (of their affairs), nor to return to their own people!

50 Then they cannot make bequest, nor can they return to their own folk.

50 And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.

50 Then they will not be able to make bequest, nor they will return to their family.

51 The trumpet shall be sounded, when behold! from the sepulchres (men) will rush forth to their Lord!

51 And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto their Lord,

51 And the Horn will be blown; and at once from the graves to their Lord they will hasten.

51 And the Trumpet will be blown (i.e. the second blowing) and behold from the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord.

52 They will say: "Ah! Woe unto us! Who hath raised us up from our beds of repose?"... (A voice will say:) "This is what (Allah) Most Gracious had promised. And true was the word of the messengers!"

52 Crying: Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of sleep ? This is that which the Beneficent did promise, and the messengers spoke truth.

52 They will say, "O woe to us! Who has raised us up from our sleeping place?" [The reply will be], "This is what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth."

52 They will say: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep." (It will be said to them): "This is what the Most Gracious (Allah) had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth!"

53 It will be no more than a single Blast, when lo! they will all be brought up before Us!

53 It is but one Shout, and behold them brought together before Us!

53 It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.

53 It will be but a single Saihah (shout), so behold they will all be brought up before Us!

54 Then, on that Day, not a soul will be wronged in the least, and ye shall but be repaid the meeds of your past Deeds.

54 This day no soul is wronged in aught; nor are ye requited aught save what ye used to do.

54 So today no soul will be wronged at all, and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.

54 This Day (Day of Resurrection), none will be wronged in anything, nor will you be requited anything except that which you used to do.

55 Verily the Companions of the Garden shall that Day have joy in all that they do;

55 Lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed,

55 Indeed the companions of Paradise, that Day, will be amused in [joyful] occupation -

55 Verily, the dwellers of the Paradise, that Day, will be busy with joyful things.

56 They and their associates will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity);

56 They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining;

56 They and their spouses - in shade, reclining on adorned couches.

56 They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones.

57 (Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;

57 Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;

57 For them therein is fruit, and for them is whatever they request [or wish]

57 They will have therein fruits (of all kinds) and all that they ask for.

58 "Peace!" - a word (of salutation) from a Lord Most Merciful!

58 The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace!

58 [And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.

58 (It will be said to them): Salam (peace be on you) - a Word from the Lord (Allah), Most Merciful.

59 "And O ye in sin! Get ye apart this Day!

59 But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day!

59 [Then He will say], "But stand apart today, you criminals.

59 (It will be said): "And O you Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Islamic Monotheism, wicked evil ones)! Get you apart this Day (from the believers).

60 "Did I not enjoin on you, O ye Children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan; for that he was to you an enemy avowed? -

60 Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! -

60 Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan - [for] indeed, he is to you a clear enemy -

60 Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaitan (Satan). Verily, he is a plain enemy to you.

61 "And that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way?

61 But that ye worship Me ? That was the right path.

61 And that you worship [only] Me? This is a straight path.

61 And that you should worship Me [Alone - Islamic Monotheism, and set up not rivals, associate-gods with Me]. That is the Straight Path.

62 "But he did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did ye not, then, understand?

62 Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense ?

62 And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

62 And indeed he (Satan) did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did you not, then, understand?

63 "This is the Hell of which ye were (repeatedly) warned!

63 This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him).

63 This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

63 This is Hell which you were promised!

64 "Embrace ye the (fire) this Day, for that ye (persistently) rejected (Truth)."

64 Burn therein this day for that ye disbelieved.

64 [Enter to] burn therein today for what you used to deny."

64 Burn therein this Day, for that you used to disbelieve.

65 That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths. But their hands will speak to us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did.

65 This day We seal up their mouths, and their hands speak out to Us and their feet bear witness as to what they used to earn.

65 That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.

65 This Day, We shall seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn. (It is said that one's left thigh will be the first to bear the witness). [Tafsir At-Tabari,]

66 If it had been our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; then should they have run about groping for the Path, but how could they have seen?

66 And had We willed, We verily could have quenched their eyesight so that they should struggle for the way. Then how could they have seen ?

66 And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

66 And if it had been Our Will, We would surely have wiped out (blinded) their eyes, so that they would struggle for the Path, how then would they see?

67 And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error).

67 And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.

67 And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.

67 And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they would have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back.

68 If We grant long life to any, We cause him to be reversed in nature: Will they not then understand?

68 He whom we bring unto old age, We reverse him in creation (making him go back to weakness after strength). Have ye then no sense ?

68 And he to whom We grant long life We reverse in creation; so will they not understand?

68 And he whom We grant long life - We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand?

69 We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear:

69 And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain,

69 And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an

69 And We have not taught him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) poetry, nor is it suitable for him. This is only a Reminder and a plain Qur'an.

70 That it may give admonition to any (who are) alive, and that the charge may be proved against those who reject (Truth).
