[Prophet], glorify the name of your Lord the Most High
Translation 1260
One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
[Prophet], glorify the name of your Lord the Most High
Translation 1260
who created [all things] in due proportion
Translation 1260
who determined their destinies and guided them
Translation 1260
who brought out the green pasture
Translation 1260
then made it dark debris
Translation 1260
[Prophet], We shall teach you [the Quran] and you will not forget––
Translation 1260
unless God wishes; He knows both what is open and what is hidden––
Translation 1260
We shall show you the easy way
Translation 1260
So remind, if reminding will help
Translation 1260
Those who stand in awe of God will heed the reminder
Translation 1260
but it will be ignored by the most wicked
Translation 1260
who will enter the Great Fire
Translation 1260
where they will neither die nor live
Translation 1260
Prosperous are those who purify themselves
Translation 1260
remember the name of their Lord, and pray
Translation 1260
Yet you [people] prefer the life of this world
Translation 1260
even though the Hereafter is better and more lasting
Translation 1260
All this is in the earlier scriptures
Translation 1260
the scriptures of Abraham and Moses
Translation 1260
Have you heard tell [Prophet] about the Overwhelming Event
Translation 1260
On that Day, there will be downcast faces
Translation 1260
toiling and weary
Translation 1260
as they enter the blazing Fire
Translation 1260
and are forced to drink from a boiling spring
Translation 1260
with no food for them except bitter dry thorns
Translation 1260
that neither nourish nor satisfy hunger
Translation 1260
On that Day there will also be faces radiant with bliss
Translation 1260
well pleased with their labour
Translation 1260
in a lofty garden
Translation 1260
where they will hear no idle talk
Translation 1260
with a flowing spring
Translation 1260
raised couches
Translation 1260
goblets placed before them
Translation 1260
cushions set in rows
Translation 1260
and carpets spread
Translation 1260
Do the disbelievers not see how rain clouds are formed
Translation 1260
how the heavens are lifted
Translation 1260
how the mountains are raised high
Translation 1260
how the earth is spread out
Translation 1260
So [Prophet] warn them: your only task is to give warning
Translation 1260
you are not there to control them
Translation 1260
As for those who turn away and disbelieve
Translation 1260
God will inflict the greatest torment upon them
Translation 1260
It is to Us they will return
Translation 1260
and then it is for Us to call them to account
Translation 1260
By the Daybreak
Translation 1260
by the Ten Nights
Translation 1260
by the even and the odd
Translation 1260
by the passing night––
Translation 1260
is this oath strong enough for a rational person
Translation 1260
Have you [Prophet] considered how your Lord dealt with [the people] of 'Ad
Translation 1260
of Iram, [the city] of lofty pillars
Translation 1260
whose like has never been made in any land
Translation 1260
and the Thamud, who hewed into the rocks in the valley
Translation 1260
and the mighty and powerful Pharaoh
Translation 1260
All of them committed excesses in their lands
Translation 1260
and spread corruption there
Translation 1260
your Lord let a scourge of punishment loose on them
Translation 1260
Your Lord is always watchful
Translation 1260
[The nature of] man is that, when his Lord tries him through honour and blessings, he says, ‘My Lord has honoured me,’
Translation 1260
but when He tries him through the restriction of his provision, he says, ‘My Lord has humiliated me.’
Translation 1260
No indeed! You [people] do not honour orphans
Translation 1260
you do not urge one another to feed the poor
Translation 1260
you consume inheritance greedily
Translation 1260
and you love wealth with a passion
Translation 1260
No indeed! When the earth is pounded to dust, pounded and pounded
Translation 1260
when your Lord comes with the angels, rank upon rank
Translation 1260
when Hell is that Day brought near- on that Day man will take heed, but what good will that be to him then
Translation 1260
He will say, ‘Would that I had provided for this life to come!’
Translation 1260
On that Day, no one will punish as He punishes
Translation 1260
and no one will bind as He binds
Translation 1260
‘[But] you, soul at peace
Translation 1260
return to your Lord well pleased and well pleasing
Translation 1260
go in among My servants
Translation 1260
and into My Garden.’
