In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

 1: Alif Lam Mim.

 2. The revelation of the Book, there is no doubt in it, is 
 from the Lord of the worlds.

 3. Or do they say: He has forged it? Nay! it is the truth 
 from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner 
 has come before you, that they may follow the right 
 direction.

 4. Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and 
 what is between them in six periods, and He mounted the 
 throne (of authority); you have not besides Him any guardian 
 or any intercessor, will you not then mind?

 5. He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth; 
 then shall it ascend to Him in a day the measure of which is 
 a thousand years of what you count.

 6. This is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Mighty 
 the Merciful,

 7. Who made good everything that He has created, and He 
 began the creation of man from dust.

 8. Then He made his progeny of an extract, of water held in 
 light estimation.

 9. Then He made him complete and breathed into him of His 
 spirit, and made for you the ears and the eyes and the 
 hearts; little is it that you give thanks.

 10. And they say: What! when we have become lost in the 
 earth, shall we then certainly be in a new creation? Nay! 
 they are disbelievers in the meeting of their Lord.

 11. Say: The angel of death who is given charge of you shall 
 cause you to die, then to your Lord you shall be brought 
 back.

 12. And could you but see when the guilty shall hang down 
 their heads before their Lord: Our Lord! we have seen and we 
 have heard, therefore send us back, we will do good; surely 
 (now) we are certain.

 13. And if We had pleased We would certainly have given to 
 every soul its guidance, but the word (which had gone forth) 
 from Me was just: I will certainly fill hell with the jinn 
 and men together.

 14. So taste, because you neglected the meeting of this day 
 of yours; surely We forsake you; and taste the abiding 
 chastisement for what you did.

 15. Only they believe in Our communications who, when they 
 are reminded of them, fall down making obeisance and 
 celebrate the praise of their Lord, and they are not proud.

 16. Their sides draw away from (their) beds, they call upon 
 their Lord in fear and in hope, and they spend 
 (benevolently) out of what We have given them.

 17. So no soul knows what is hidden for them of that which 
 will refresh the eyes; a reward for what they did.

 18. Is he then who is a believer like him who is a 
 transgressor? They are not equal.

 19. As for those who believe and do good, the gardens are 
 their abiding-place; an entertainment for what they did.

 20. And as for those who transgress, their abode is the 
 fire; whenever they desire to go forth from it they shall be 
 brought back into it, and it will be said to them: Taste the 
 chastisement of the fire which you called a lie.

 21. And most certainly We will make them taste of the nearer 
 chastisement before the greater chastisement that haply they 
 may turn.

 22. And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the 
 communications of his Lord, then he turns away from them? 
 Surely We will give punishment to the guilty.

 23. And certainly We gave the Book to Musa, so be not in 
 doubt concerning the receiving of it, and We made it a guide 
 for the children of Israel.

 24. And We made of them Imams to guide by Our command when 
 they were patient, and they were certain of Our 
 communications.

 25. Surely your Lord will judge between them on the day of 
 resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.

 26. Does it not point out to them the right way, how many of 
 the generations, in whose abodes they go about, did We 
 destroy before them? Most surely there are signs in this; 
 will they not then hear?

 27. Do they not see that We drive the water to a land having 
 no herbage, then We bring forth thereby seed-produce of 
 which their cattle and they themselves eat; will they not 
 then see?

 28. And they say: When will this judgment take place, If you 
 are truthful?

 29. Say: On the day of judgment the faith of those who (now) 
 disbelieve will not profit them, nor will they be respited.

 30. Therefore turn away from them and wait, surely they too 
 are waiting.
