English - Chapter 15 - Al-Hijr

L.R., these are the signs of the Scripture, and a clear Quran

Perhaps those who have rejected will wish they were of those who surrendered

Leave them to eat and enjoy, and let them be preoccupied with hope. They will come to know

We have not destroyed any town except that it had an appointed time

No nation can quicken its fate, nor can they delay

And they said: "O you upon whom the Reminder has been sent down, you are crazy

Why not bring us the Angels if you are of the truthful ones

We do not send down the Angels except with truth, and then they would have no more delay

Indeed it is We who have sent down the Reminder, and indeed it is We who will preserve it

And We have sent before you to the groups of old

And any messenger that came to them, they would mock him

It is such that We let it seep into the hearts of the criminals

They do not believe in it, while the examples of the early generations has been brought to them

And if We opened for them a gate in the heaven and they were to continue ascending to it

They would have said: "Our sight has been fogged. No, we are a people who are being bewitched

And We have placed towers in the heavens and We have made them pleasant to the onlookers

And We have guarded them from every outcast devil

Except he who manages to eavesdrop, he will be pursued clearly by a flaming meteor

And the land We have stretched, and placed stabilizers in it, and We have planted in it everything in balance

And We made for you in it a habitat, as well as those whom you are not required to provide for

And there is not a thing, except that We have vaults of it, yet We only send it down in a measured amount

And We have sent the winds to pollinate, and We sent down water from the sky for you to drink. And it is not you who are keeping it in storage

And it is indeed We who give life and death, and We are the inheritors

And We have known those who came early amongst you, and We have known those who came late

And it is your Lord that will gather them. He is Wise, Knowledgeable

And We have created man from a clay hardened and shaped

And the Jinn, We created him before that from the flames of fire

And your Lord said to the Angels: "I am creating a human from a hardened clay

So when I perfect him, and blow of My spirit in him, you shall submit to him

Thus, all of the Angels submitted

Except for Satan, he refused to be with those who submitted

He said: "O Satan, what is the matter that you are not with those who have submitted

He said: "I am not to submit to a human You have created from a hardened clay

He said: "Exit from here, you are cast out

And a curse shall be upon you until the Day of Judgment

He said: "My Lord, respite me until the Day they are resurrected

He said: "You are given respite

Until the Day of the appointed time

He said: "My Lord, for that which I have been misled by, I will make the Earth appear beautiful for them, and I will mislead them all

Except for Your servants who are devoted

He said: "This shall be a Straight Path to Me

For My servants, you shall have no authority over them, except those who are misled and follow you

And Hell, for all of those, shall be the appointed place

It has seven gates, for every gate will be an assigned segment from them

The righteous will be in paradises and springs

Enter it in peace and security

And We removed what sadness was in their chests, they are brothers in quarters facing one another

No fatigue shall touch them, nor will they be made to leave from it

Inform My servants that I am the Forgiver, the Merciful

And that My punishment is a painful retribution

And inform them of Abraham's guests

That they entered upon him, they said: "Peace." He said: "We are worrisome of you

They said: "Do not worry, we bring you good news of a knowledgeable son

He said: "What good news can you bring me when old age has come upon me Is that your good news

They said: "We have brought you good news with truth, so do not be of those in denial

He said: "And who would deny the mercy of his Lord except the misguided ones

He said: "What then is your business here, O messengers

They said: "We have been sent to a people who are criminals

Except for the family of Lot, we will save them all

Except for his wife, we have measured that she will be with those destroyed

So when the messengers came to the family of Lot

He said: "You are a people unknown to me

They said: "Alas, we have come to you with that which they are doubting

And we have come to you with the truth, and we are forthcoming

So let your family leave during the last hours of the night, and you follow just behind them, and do not let any of you look back, and go to where you are commanded

And We made it known to him, that the seed of these people will be cut off in the morning

And the people of the city came seeking good news

He said: "These are my guests, so do not embarrass me

And be aware of God, and do not disgrace me

They said: "Did we not forbid you from outsiders

He said: "Here are my daughters if it is your intention

By your life, they are in their drunkenness, blundering

So the scream took them at sunrise

Thus We turned it upside down, and rained over them with rocks made from hardened clay

In this are signs for those who see

And it was on an established path

In that is a sign for the believers

And the dwellers of the forest were wicked

So, We sought revenge from them. And they were both on an open plain

And the dwellers of the cavern disbelieved the messengers

And We gave them Our signs, but they turned away from them

And they used to sculpt from the mountains dwellings that were secure

So the scream took them in the morning

What benefit did what they earn make for them

And We have not created the heavens and the Earth and what is in between except with the truth. And the Hour is coming, so overlook their faults gracefully

Your Lord is the Creator, the Knower

And We have given you seven of the pairs and the great Quran

So do not linger with your eyes on what We have bestowed upon some couples from them, and do not grieve for them, and lower your wing for the believers

And Say: "I am the clarifying warner

As We have sent down on the dividers

The ones who have made the Quran obsolete

By your Lord, We will ask them all

Regarding what they use to do

So proclaim what you have been commanded and turn away from those who set up partners

We will relieve you from those who mocked

Those who placed with God another god. They will come to know

And We know that your chest is strained by what they say

So glorify with the praise of your Lord, and be of those who prostrate

And serve your Lord until certainty comes to you
