--- |
|---|
| 15:1 | | Alif 'A', Lam 'L', Ra 'R'. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a clear Qur'an (that makes things manifest) . |
| 15:2 | | Often will those who disbelieved wish that they were Muslims |
| 15:3 | | Leave them (alone) so that they may eat and enjoy themselves, and that they may be bemused by hope for they will soon know. |
| 15:4 | | And never did We destroy a township, but it had a known decree. |
| 15:5 | | No nation outstrips its term, nor can they postpone (it) |
| 15:6 | | And they (unbelievers) said: 'O' you to whom the (Divine) Reminder has been sent down, you are surely insane; |
| 15:7 | | If you are of the truthful ones, why do you not bring to us the angels |
| 15:8 | | We do not send angels but with the Truth, and then they would not be respited. |
| 15:9 | | Verily, We Ourself have sent down the Reminder (the Qur'an) and verily We, (Ourself) will be its Guardian |
| 15:10 | | And indeed, We sent (messengers) before you among the nations of the ancients. |
| 15:11 | | And there came no messenger to them, but they used to mock at him. |
| 15:12 | | Thus do We make it to enter into the hearts of the guilty. |
| 15:13 | | (But) they do not believe in it and such has been the way of the ancients. |
| 15:14 | | And even if We opened to them a gate from the sky, so that they ascended into it all the while, |
| 15:15 | | They would definitely say: Indeed our eyes have been blindfolded, rather we are a people bewitched. |
| 15:16 | | And indeed, We have established constellations in the sky and We have decorated them for the beholders, |
| 15:17 | | And We have guarded them against every accursed Satan. |
| 15:18 | | Save him who steals the hearing, so there pursues him a clear flame. |
| 15:19 | | And We have spread the earth, and We have cast therein firm mountains, and We have grown in it of every thing in due balance. |
| 15:20 | | And We have provided means of subsistence therein for you and for him whom you are not responsible for his sustenance. |
| 15:21 | | And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasures, and We do not send it down save in appointed measure. |
| 15:22 | | And We send winds fertilizing, and We send down water from the sky, so We give it to you to drink of, while you are not its treasurers. |
| 15:23 | | And certainly We make alive and We cause to die and We are the (only)Heirs. |
| 15:24 | | And indeed We know those of you who have gone before and We are certainly aware of the succeeding ones. |
| 15:25 | | And verily, it is your Lord Who will gather them together, verily He is All- Wise, All- Knowing. |
| 15:26 | | And certainly We created man of raw clay, of black mud moulded. |
| 15:27 | | And the jinn We created before, of intensively burning fire. |
| 15:28 | | And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: 'Verily, I am about to create man of raw clay, of black mud moulded'. |
| 15:29 | | So when I have completed him and I have breathed into him of My Spirit, fall you down, prostrating yourselves unto him |
| 15:30 | | So the angels fell prostrate, all of them together, |
| 15:31 | | Except 'Iblis; he refused to be with those who prostrated (in obedience) . |
| 15:32 | | He said: 'O' Iblis! What is your reason for not being with those who prostrated (in obedience) ' |
| 15:33 | | ('Iblis) said: 'I am not such that I prostrate myself unto a man whom You have created of raw clay, of black mud moulded'. |
| 15:34 | | He said: 'Then get out of it, for verily you are driven away accursed'. |
| 15:35 | | And, verily, the curse will be on you until the Day of Judgment. |
| 15:36 | | ('Iblis) said: 'O' Lord! Respite me then till the day when they are raised |
| 15:37 | | Said He: 'Then verily you are of the respited ones'. |
| 15:38 | | Till the day of the appointed time. |
| 15:39 | | ('Iblis) said: 'O' Lord! because You have left me to stray, certainly I will adorn (evil) to them on the earth, and certainly I will cause them all to go astray'. |
| 15:40 | | Except Your chosen servants among them. |
| 15:41 | | Said He: 'This is for Me a straight path (which I have undertaken) '. |
| 15:42 | | Verily, (as regards) My (devoted) servants, there is not for you over them any authority, except those who follow you of the deviators. |
| 15:43 | | And verily Hell is certainly the promised place of them all. |
| 15:44 | | It has seven gates, for every gate there shall be a (separate) party of them assigned. |
| 15:45 | | Verily, the pious ones shall be amidst gardens and watersprings. |
| 15:46 | | (They will be addressed:) 'Enter you therein in peace, secure'. |
| 15:47 | | And We remove whatever rancour may be in their breasts. (They will be as) brothers upon coaches, face to face. |
| 15:48 | | No toil there shall afflict them in it, nor shall they be ever cast out of it. |
| 15:49 | | (O Prophet!) Inform My servants (that) verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, |
| 15:50 | | And that My chastisement is the painful chastisement. |
| 15:51 | | And inform them of the guests of Abraham. |
| 15:52 | | When they entered upon him and said: 'Peace', he said: 'Verily we are scared of you! ' |
| 15:53 | | They said: 'Be not afraid! Verily we give you the good news of a son endowed with knowledge. |
| 15:54 | | He said: 'Do you give me such good news (of a son) while old age has touched me ? Of what do you give me good news |
| 15:55 | | They (the guests) said: 'We give you good news of the Truth. Therefore, be you not of the despairing ones'. |
| 15:56 | | He said: 'And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord save those who are astray ' |
| 15:57 | | He said: 'What is your business, then, O' you (Divine) messengers |
| 15:58 | | They said: 'Verily we have been sent unto a guilty people (to annihilate them) ', |
| 15:59 | | Save the family of Lot, We shall surely rescue them all. |
| 15:60 | | Except his wife, of whom we decreed that she should be among those who remain behind ( in the chastisement) . |
| 15:61 | | So when the (Divine) messengers came unto the family of Lot. |
| 15:62 | | He said: 'Verily you are an unknown people'. |
| 15:63 | | They said: 'Nay, but we have come to you with that in which they have been doubting'. |
| 15:64 | | And we have come to you with the truth, and we are certainly truthful. |
| 15:65 | | So set forth, you with your family, in a part of the night and do you go behind them and let not any one of you turn back, and go whither you are ordered. |
| 15:66 | | And We made known this decree to him that the roots of those (sinners) should be cut off by the morning. |
| 15:67 | | And the inhabitants of the town came rejoicing. |
| 15:68 | | He said: 'Verily these are my guests, therefore do not disgrace me'. |
| 15:69 | | And be in awe of Allah and do not put me to shame. |
| 15:70 | | They said: 'Did we not dissuade you from (entertaining) people |
| 15:71 | | He (Lot) said: 'These are my daughters, (you may wed them) if you desire to do so. |
| 15:72 | | By your life (O' Prophet) , verily they were wandering on in their intoxication. |
| 15:73 | | So the (violent) blast overtook them at the sunrise. |
| 15:74 | | Thus We turned that city upside down and rained upon them stones of hard clay. |
| 15:75 | | Verily, in this there are signs for those who by tokens do understand. |
| 15:76 | | And verily it is on a way (yet) remaining. |
| 15:77 | | Verily, in this there is a sign for the believers. |
| 15:78 | | And verily, the inhabitants of 'Aykah were certainly unjust. |
| 15:79 | | So We inflicted retribution on them and they are both, indeed, on a roadway manifest (in front of your eyes) . |
| 15:80 | | And indeed the inhabitants of Hijr (also) rejected the messengers. |
| 15:81 | | And We presented Our signs to them, but they turned away from them. |
| 15:82 | | And they used to hew secure houses in the mountains. |
| 15:83 | | So the (violent) blast overtook them in the morning. |
| 15:84 | | And what they used to earn did not avail them. |
| 15:85 | | And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but with truth; and verily the Hour (of resurrection) is surely coming; then pardon you, with a gracious pardoning. |
| 15:86 | | Verily your Lord, He is the Creator, the All- Knowing. |
| 15:87 | | And indeed We have given you seven of the oft- repeated (verses) (Sura Al- Hamd) and the Grand Qur'an. |
| 15:88 | | (O' prophet!) Do not strain your eyes after what we have given certain classes of them to enjoy, and do not grieve for them, and lower your wing (of affection) unto the believers. |
| 15:89 | | And say: 'Verily I am the manifest Warner'. |
| 15:90 | | (We shall send them chastisement) as We sent down on the dividers. |
| 15:91 | | Those who made the Qur'an into shreds. |
| 15:92 | | So, by your Lord, We shall surely question them all (in the Hereafter), |
| 15:93 | | As to what they used to do. |
| 15:94 | | Therefore, declare openly what you are bidden and turn you away from the polytheists. |
| 15:95 | | Verily We will suffice you against the scoffers, |
| 15:96 | | Those who set up another god with Allah, so they will soon know (the truth) . |
| 15:97 | | And (O' prophet!) We certainly know your breast is straitened by what they say. |
| 15:98 | | Therefore, (to reinforce yourself) , celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make prostration (unto Him) . |
| 15:99 | | And worship your Lord until the Certain comes to you. |
