I swear by the positions of the stars
Translation 1260
One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
I swear by the positions of the stars
Translation 1260
a mighty oath, if you only knew
Translation 1260
that this is truly a noble Quran
Translation 1260
in a protected Record
Translation 1260
that only the purified can touch
Translation 1260
sent down from the Lord of all being
Translation 1260
How can you scorn this statement
Translation 1260
And how, in return for the livelihood you are given, can you deny it
Translation 1260
When the soul of a dying man comes up to his throat
Translation 1260
while you gaze on
Translation 1260
We are nearer to him than you, though you do not see Us
Translation 1260
why, if you are not to be judged
Translation 1260
do you not restore his soul to him, if what you say is true
Translation 1260
If that dying person is one of those who will be brought near to God
Translation 1260
he will have rest, ease, and a Garden of Bliss
Translation 1260
if he is one of those on the Right
Translation 1260
[he will hear], ‘Peace be on you,’ from his companions on the Right
Translation 1260
but if he is one of those who denied the truth and went astray
Translation 1260
he will be welcomed with scalding water
Translation 1260
He will burn in Hell
Translation 1260
This is the certain truth
Translation 1260
[Prophet], glorify the name of your Lord the Supreme
Translation 1260
Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies God––He is the Almighty, the Wise
Translation 1260
Control of the heavens and earth belongs to Him; He gives life and death; He has power over all things
Translation 1260
He is the First and the Last; the Outer and the Inner; He has knowledge of all things
Translation 1260
It was He who created the heavens and earth in six Days and then established Himself on the throne. He knows what enters the earth and what comes out of it; what descends from the sky and what ascends to it. He is with you wherever you are; He sees all that you do
Translation 1260
control of the heavens and earth belongs to Him. Everything is brought back to God
Translation 1260
He makes night merge into day and day into night. He knows what is in every heart
Translation 1260
Believe in God and His Messenger, and give out of what He has made pass down to you: those of you who believe and give will have a great reward
Translation 1260
Why should you not believe in God when the Mes-senger calls you to believe in your Lord, and He has already made a pledge with you, if you have faith
Translation 1260
It is He who has sent down clear revelations to His Servant, so that He may bring you from the depths of darkness into light; God is truly kind and merciful to you
Translation 1260
Why should you not give for God’s cause when God alone will inherit what is in the heavens and earth? Those who gave and fought before the triumph are not like others: they are greater in rank than those who gave and fought afterwards. But God has promised a good reward to all of them: God is fully aware of all that you do
Translation 1260
Who will make God a good loan? He will double it for him and reward him generously
Translation 1260
On the Day when you [Prophet] see the believers, both men and women, with their light streaming out ahead of them and to their right, [they will be told], ‘The good news for you today is that there are Gardens graced with flowing streams where you will stay: that is truly the supreme triumph!’
Translation 1260
On the same Day, the hypocrites, both men and women, will say to the believers, ‘Wait for us! Let us have some of your light!’ They will be told, ‘Go back and look for a light.’ A wall with a door will be erected between them: inside it lies mercy, outside lies torment
Translation 1260
The hypocrites will call out to the believers, ‘Were we not with you?’ They will reply, ‘Yes. But you allowed yourselves to be tempted, you were hesitant, doubtful, deceived by false hopes until God’s command came- the Deceiver tricked you about God
Translation 1260
Today no ransom will be accepted from you or from the disbelievers: your home is the Fire- that is where you belong––a miserable destination!’
