Then bear a load [of tiny water globues condensing around the dust particles]

Then sail smoothly along

And then execute given task of apportioning [rainfall]

What you are being promised is certainy indeed true

And the Judgement Day shall certainly indeed happen

By the heaven full of perfectly defined pathways

You do certainly indeed differ in what you say [about the Qur'aan]

Those are deluded from it [Qur'aan] who are deluded from the Truth

Doomed are those who just guess

Those that are submerged in carelessness about Truth and Reaity

The pious and Allah-fearing shall indeed be in the midst of gardens and fountains

They accept what their Lord gives them. They did indeed do good work before (in the life of the world)

They slept but little at night

And they asked for forgiveness in the wee hours before dawn

And they considered it their duty to keep something aside in their property for the needy and the destitute

And in the earth are there many signs for those who are certain in their belief

And in your own persons too! Do you not see?h

And in the heaven is your provision and also what you are being promised

By the Lord of the heaven and the earth, then, this is indeed true, as true as the fact of your speaking

Has the story of Abrahamճ honoured guests reached you, (O Prophet)

On coming to him, they said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace, strangers

Then slipping away from them to his family, he brought a fat calf [to feast his stranger guests therewith]

And he laid it before them, saying, "Would you not eat it

Then he was afraid of them. They said, "Fear not!" And they gave him the good news of a son endowed with knowledge

They said, "Your Lord has said so! Indeed He is the One Most Wise, All-Knowing

Abraham said, "What is your mission then, O Messengers

They replied, "We have indeed been sent towards a sinning people

To throw stones of clay upon them

Targeted with your Lord upon those who go beyond all bounds

We then evacuated all of the believers who lived therein

And We did not find therein any Muslims, apart from a single house

And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment

And in Moses [there is a sign] - when We sent him with a clear authority to Pharaoh

And he [Pharaoh] turned in arrogance on the strength of his support, and he said (to his council of elders), "He is a magician or a madman

So then We seized him and his troops, and threw them into the sea. And he was to blame [for this fate]

And in Aad [there is a sign] - when We sent upon them a devastating wind

[The devastating wind] left nothing that it came upon without making it look like old and rotten bones

And in Thamood [there is a sign] - when they were told, "Enjoy yourselves for a while

And the people of Noah before them all — they were indeed a people immersed in transgression

And the heaven - We made it powerful and We can certainly indeed expand it

And the earth - We prepared its crust, and how well have We prepared it

And of everything We have created in pairs, so that you ponder over this and remember

Flee, therefore, to Allah. I am indeed a plain warner to you from Him

And set up no other deity with Allah. I am indeed a plain warner to you from Him

Never did a Messenger come to those that preceded them but they called him a magician or a mad-man. Likewise

Do they persist with the same [canard]!? Nay, they are a people committing transgression

So turn away from them; you are not to blame

And keep on counselling them; for counselling does indeed benefit the believers

And I created the jinn and the humans for nothing but that they worship Me

I want from them no provision, nor do I want them to feed Me

Indeed, Allah is the One Who provides all sustenance. He is Possessor of power that never fails

And, indeed, the lot of those who do wrong is like the lot of their counterparts (of yore). So let them not hasten Me

Woe, then, to those, who suppress the Truth, during that Day of theirs which they are warned against
