Give full measure: do not sell others short
Translation 1260
One of the 240 subdivisions of the Quran (quarter of a Hizb)
Give full measure: do not sell others short
Translation 1260
Weigh with correct scales
Translation 1260
do not deprive people of what is theirs. Do not spread corruption on earth
Translation 1260
Be mindful of God who created you and former generations,’
Translation 1260
but they replied, ‘You are bewitched
Translation 1260
You are nothing but a man like us. In fact we think you are a liar
Translation 1260
Make bits of the heavens fall down on us, if you are telling the truth.’
Translation 1260
He said, ‘My Lord knows best what you do.’
Translation 1260
They called him a liar, and so the torment of the Day of Shadow came upon them- it was the torment of a terrible day
Translation 1260
There truly is a sign in this, though most of them will not believe
Translation 1260
your Lord alone is the Almighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260
Truly, this Quran has been sent down by the Lord of the Worlds
Translation 1260
the Trustworthy Spirit brought it down
Translation 1260
to your heart [Prophet], so that you could bring warning
Translation 1260
in a clear Arabic tongue
Translation 1260
This was foretold in the scriptures of earlier religions
Translation 1260
Is it not proof enough for them that the learned men of the Children of Israel have recognized it
Translation 1260
If We had sent it down to someone who was not an Arab
Translation 1260
and he had recited it to them, they still would not have believed in it
Translation 1260
So We make it pass straight through the hearts of the guilty
Translation 1260
they will not believe in it until they see the grievous torment
Translation 1260
which will suddenly hit them when they are not expecting it
Translation 1260
and then they will say, ‘Can we have more time?’
Translation 1260
How can they ask that Our punishment be brought to them sooner
Translation 1260
Think, if we let them enjoy this life for some years
Translation 1260
and then the promised torment came upon them
Translation 1260
what good would their past enjoyment be to them
Translation 1260
Never have We destroyed a town without sending down messengers to warn it
Translation 1260
as a reminder from Us: We are never unjust
Translation 1260
It was not the jinn who brought down this Quran
Translation 1260
it is neither in their interests nor in their power
Translation 1260
indeed they are prevented from overhearing it
Translation 1260
So [Prophet] do not invoke any gods beside God, or you will incur punishment
Translation 1260
Warn your nearest kinsfolk
Translation 1260
and lower your wing tenderly over the believers who follow you
Translation 1260
If they disobey you, say, ‘I bear no responsibility for your actions.’
Translation 1260
Put your trust in the Almighty, the Merciful
Translation 1260
who sees you when you stand up [for prayer]
Translation 1260
and sees your movements among the worshippers
Translation 1260
He is the All Hearing, the All Knowing
Translation 1260
Shall I tell you who the jinn come down to
Translation 1260
They come down to every lying sinner
Translation 1260
who readily lends an ear to them, and most of them are liars
Translation 1260
only those who are lost in error follow the poets
Translation 1260
Do you not see how they rove aimlessly in every valley
Translation 1260
how they say what they do not do
Translation 1260
Not so those [poets] who believe, do good deeds, remember God often, and defend themselves after they have been wronged. The evildoers will find out what they will return to
Translation 1260
