In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; --
- He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: No son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: It is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions.
- Yet have they taken, besides Him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control Death nor Life nor Resurrection.
- But the Misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.
- And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: And they are dictated before him morning and evening."
- Say: "The (Qur'an) was sent down by Him Who knows the Mystery (that is) in the heavens and the earth: Verily He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
- And they say: "What sort of an apostle is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?
- "Or (why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?" The wicked say: "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched."
- See what kinds of companions they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!
- Blessed is He Who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those, -- Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee Palaces (secure to dwell in).
- Nay, they deny the Hour (of the Judgment to come): But We have prepared a Blazing Fire for such as deny the Hour:
- When it sees them from a place far off, they will hear its fury and its raging sigh.
- And when they are cast, bound together, into a constricted place therein, they will plead for destruction there and then!
- "This day plead not for a single destruction: Plead for destruction oft-repeated!"
- Say: "Is that best, or the eternal Garden, promised to the righteous? For them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).
- "For them there will be therein all that they wish for: They will dwell (there) for aye: A promise to be prayed for from thy Lord."
- The Day He will gather them together as well as those whom they worship besides Allah, He will ask: "Was it ye who led these my servants astray, or did they stray from the Path themselves?"
- They will say: "Glory to Thee! not meet was it for us that we should take for protectors others besides Thee: But Thou didst bestow, on them and their fathers good things (in life), until they forgot the Message: For they were a people (worthless and) lost."
- (Allah will say): "Now have they proved you liars in what ye say: So ye cannot avert (your penalty) nor (get) help." And whoever among you does wrong, him shall We cause to taste of a grievous Penalty.
- And the apostles whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: Will ye have patience? For Allah is One Who sees (all things).
