68:1
Nun By the pen! By all they write
68:2
Your Lord’s grace does not make you [Prophet] a madman
68:3
you will have a never-ending reward–&ndash
68:4
truly you have a strong character–&ndash
68:5
and soon you will see, as will they
68:6
which of you is afflicted with madness
68:7
Your Lord knows best who strays from His path and who is rightly guided
68:8
So do not yield to those who deny the truth–&ndash
68:9
they want you to compromise with them and then they will compromise with you–&ndash
68:10
do not yield to any contemptible swearer
68:11
to any backbiter, slander-monger
68:12
or hinderer of good, to anyone who is sinful, aggressive
68:13
coarse, and on top of all that, an imposter
68:14
Just because he has wealth and sons
68:15
when our revelations are recited to him, he says, ‘These are just ancient fables.’
68:16
We shall brand him on the snout
68:17
We have tried them as We tried the owners of a certain garden, who swore that they would harvest its fruits in the mornin
68:18
and made no allowance [for the Will of God]
68:19
a disaster from your Lord struck the garden as they slep
68:20
and by morning it was stripped bare, a desolate land
68:21
Still they called each other at daybreak
68:22
‘Go early to your field if you wish to gather all its fruits,’
68:23
and went off, whispering
68:24
‘Make sure no poor person enters the garden today!’–&ndash
68:25
they left early, bent on their purpose
68:26
but when they saw the garden, they said, ‘We must have lost our way
68:27
No- we are ruined!’
68:28
The wisest of them said, ‘Did I not say to you, “Will you not glorify God?”’
68:29
they said, ‘Glory be to God, Our Lord! Truly, we were doing wrong!’
68:30
and then they turned to each other in mutual reproach
68:31
They said, ‘Alas for us! We have done terrible wrong
68:32
but maybe our Lord will give us something better in its place: we truly turn to Him in hope.’
68:33
Such is the punishment [in this life], but greater still is the punishment in the Hereafter, if only they knew
68:34
There will be Gardens of bliss for those who are mindful of God
68:35
Should We treat those who submit to Us as We treat those who do evil
68:36
What is the matter with you? On what basis do you judge
68:37
Do you have a Scripture that tells yo
68:38
that you will be granted whatever you choose
68:39
Have you received from Us solemn oaths, binding to the Day of Resurrection, that you will get whatever you yourselves decide
68:40
Ask them [Prophet] which of them will guarantee this
68:41
Do they have ‘partners’ [besides God]? Let them produce their ‘partners’, if what they say is true
68:42
On the Day when matters become dire, they will be invited to prostrate themselves but will be prevented from doing so
68:43
and their eyes will be downcast and they will be overwhelmed with shame: they were invited to prostrate themselves when they were safe [but refused]
68:44
So [Prophet] leave those who reject this revelation to Me: We shall lead them on, step by step, in ways beyond their knowledge
68:45
I will allow them more time, for My plan is powerful
68:46
Do you demand some reward from them that would burden them with debt
68:47
Do they have knowledge of the unseen that enables them to write it down
68:48
Wait patiently [Prophet] for your Lord’s judgement: do not be like the man in the whale who called out in distress
68:49
if his Lord’s grace had not reached him, he would have been left, abandoned and blameworthy, on the barren shore
68:50
but his Lord chose him and made him one of the Righteous
68:51
The disbelievers almost strike you down with their looks when they hear the Quran. They say, ‘He must be mad!’
68:52
but truly it is nothing other than a Reminder for all peoples
