| 21:1 | | (Has) approached for [the] mankind their account, while they (are) in heedlessness turning away. |
| 21:2 | | Not comes to them of a Reminder from their Lord, anew except they listen to it while they (are at) play |
| 21:3 | | Distracted their hearts. And they conceal the private conversation, those who [they] wronged, "Is this except a human being like you? So would you approach the magic while you see (it)?" |
| 21:4 | | He said, "My Lord knows the word in the heavens and the earth. And He (is) the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." |
| 21:5 | | Nay, they say, "Muddled dreams; nay, he (has) invented it; nay, he (is) a poet. So let him bring us a sign like what was sent (to) the former." |
| 21:6 | | Not believed before them any town which We destroyed, so will they believe? |
| 21:7 | | And not We sent before you except men, We revealed to them. So ask (the) people (of) the Reminder, if you (do) not know. |
| 21:8 | | And not We made them bodies not eating the food, and not they were immortals. |
| 21:9 | | Then We fulfilled (for) them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed, and We destroyed the transgressors. |
| 21:10 | | Indeed, We (have) sent down to you a Book in it (is) your mention. Then will not you use reason? |
| 21:11 | | And how many We (have) shattered of a town (that) was unjust, and We produced after them people another. |
| 21:12 | | Then when they perceived Our torment, behold, they from it were fleeing. |
| 21:13 | | Not flee but return to what you were given luxury in it and to your homes, so that you may be questioned. |
| 21:14 | | They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, [we] we were wrongdoers." |
| 21:15 | | Then not ceased [this] their cry until We made them reaped extinct. |
| 21:16 | | And not We created the heavens and the earth and what (is) between them (for) playing. |
| 21:17 | | If We intended that We take a pastime, surely We (could have) taken i from Us, if We were doers. |
| 21:18 | | Nay, We hurl the truth against [the] falsehood, and it breaks its head, behold, it (is) vanishing. And for you (is) destruction for what you ascribe. |
| 21:19 | | And to Him (belongs) whoever (is) in the heavens and the earth. And (those) who (are) near Him not they are arrogant to worship Him and not they tire. |
| 21:20 | | They glorify (Him) [the] night and [the] day, not they slacken. |
| 21:21 | | Or (have) they taken gods from the earth, they raise (the dead)? |
| 21:22 | | If (there) were in both of them gods besides Allah, surely they (would) have been So glorified (is) Allah, Lord (of) the Throne (above) what they attribute. |
| 21:23 | | Not He (can) be questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned. |
| 21:24 | | Or (have) they taken from besides Him gods? Say, "Bring your proof. This (is) a Reminder (for those) who (are) with me, and a Reminder (for those) who (were) before me." But most of them (do) not know the truth so they (are) averse. |
| 21:25 | | And not We sent from before you any Messenger but We reveal(ed) to him that [He], "(There is) no god except Me so worship Me." |
| 21:26 | | And they say, "Has taken the Most Gracious a son." Glorified is He! Nay, (they are) slaves honored. |
| 21:27 | | Not they (can) precede Him in word, and they by His command act. |
| 21:28 | | He knows what (is) between their hands and what (is) behind them, and not they (can) intercede except for whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, stand in awe. |
| 21:29 | | And whoever says of them, "Indeed, I am a god from besides Him." Then that We will recompense (with) Hell. Thus We recompense the wrongdoers. |
| 21:30 | | Do not see those who disbelieved that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, then We parted them and We made from [the] water every thing living Then will not they believe? |
| 21:31 | | And We (have) placed in the earth firmly set mountains, lest it (should) shake with them, and We made therein broad passes (as) ways, so that they may (be) guided. |
| 21:32 | | And We made the sky a roof protected. But they, from its Signs, turn away. |
| 21:33 | | And He (is) the One Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each in an orbit floating. |
| 21:34 | | And not We made for any man from before you [the] immortality; so if you die, then (would) they live forever? |
| 21:35 | | Every soul (will) taste [the] death. And We test you with [the] bad and [the] good (as) a trial; and to Us you will be returned. |
| 21:36 | | And when they see you, those who disbelieve not they take you except (in) ridicule, "Is this the one who mentions your gods?" And they at (the) mention (of) the Most Gracious [they] (are) disbelievers. |
| 21:37 | | Is created the man of haste. I will show you My Signs so (do) not ask Me to hasten. |
| 21:38 | | And they say, "When (will be fulfilled) this promise, if you are truthful?" |
| 21:39 | | If knew those who disbelieved (the) time (when) not they will avert from their faces the Fire and not from their backs and not they will be helped! |
| 21:40 | | Nay, it will come to them unexpectedly and bewilder them, then not they will be able to repel it, and not they will be given respite. |
| 21:41 | | And verily, were mocked Messengers from before you then surrounded those who mocked from them what they used at it (to) mock. |
| 21:42 | | Say, "Who (can) protect you in the night and the day from the Most Gracious?" Yet, they from (the) remembrance (of) their Lord turn away. |
| 21:43 | | Or have they gods (to) defend them from Us? Not they are able (to) help themselves and not they from Us can be protected. |
| 21:44 | | Nay, We gave provision (to) these and their fathers until grew long for them, the life. Then do not they see that We We come (to) the land, We reduce it from its borders? So is (it) they (who will be) overcoming? |
| 21:45 | | Say, "Only I warn you by the revelation." But not hear the deaf the call when (that) they are warned. |
| 21:46 | | And if touches them a whiff of (the) punishment (of) your Lord, surely they will say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we [we] were wrongdoers." |
| 21:47 | | And We set the scales (of) the justice for (the) Day (of) the Resurrection, so not will be wronged any soul (in) anything. And if (there) be weight (of) a seed of a mustard We will bring [with] it. And sufficient (are) We (as) Reckoners. |
| 21:48 | | And verily, We gave Musa and Harun the Criterion and a light and a Reminder for the righteous. |
| 21:49 | | Those who fear their Lord in the unseen, and they of the Hour (are) afraid. |
| 21:50 | | And this (is) a Reminder blessed, which We (have) revealed. Then are you of it rejecters? |
| 21:51 | | And verily, We gave Ibrahim his guidance from before, and We were about him Well-Knowing. |
| 21:52 | | When he said to his father and his people, "What (are) these [the] statues which you to it (are) devoted?" |
| 21:53 | | They said, "We found our forefathers of them worshippers." |
| 21:54 | | He said, "Verily, you are [you] and your forefathers (were) in an error manifest." |
| 21:55 | | They said, "Have you come to us with the truth, or you (are) of those who play?" |
| 21:56 | | He said, "Nay, your Lord (is the) Lord (of) the heavens and the earth, the One Who created them and I am to that of the witnesses. |
| 21:57 | | And by Allah surely, I will plan (against) your idols after [that] you go away turning (your) backs." |
| 21:58 | | So he made them (into) pieces except a large (one) of them, so that they may to it return. |
| 21:59 | | They said, "Who (has) done this to our gods? Indeed, he (is) of the wrongdoers." |
| 21:60 | | They said, "We heard a youth mention them is called he Ibrahim." |
| 21:61 | | They said, "Then bring him before (the) eyes (of) the people so that they may bear witness." |
| 21:62 | | They said, "Have you done this to our gods O Ibrahim?" |
| 21:63 | | He said, "Nay, (some doer) did it. Their chief (is) this. So ask them if they (can) speak." |
| 21:64 | | So they returned to themselves and said, "Indeed, you [you] (are) the wrongdoers." |
| 21:65 | | Then they were turned on their heads, "Verily, you know not these (can) speak!" |
| 21:66 | | He said, "Then do you worship from besides Allah what (does) not benefit you (in) anything and not harms you? |
| 21:67 | | Uff to you and to what you worship from besides Allah. Then will not you use reason?" |
| 21:68 | | They said, "Burn him and support your gods, if you are doers." |
| 21:69 | | We said, "O fire! Be cool[ness] and safe[ty] for Ibrahim." |
| 21:70 | | And they intended for him, a plan but We made them the greatest losers. |
| 21:71 | | And We delivered him and Lut to the land which We (had) blessed [in it] for the worlds. |
| 21:72 | | And We bestowed on him Ishaq and Yaqub (in) addition, and all We made righteous. |
| 21:73 | | And We made them leaders, they guide by Our Command. And We inspired to them (the) doing (of) good deeds, and establishment (of) the prayer and giving (of) zakah; and they were of Us worshippers. |
| 21:74 | | And (to) Lut We gave him judgment and knowledge, and We saved him from the town which was doing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people evil, defiantly disobedient. |
| 21:75 | | And We admitted him into Our Mercy. Indeed, he (was) of the righteous. |
| 21:76 | | And Nuh, when he called from before, so We responded to him and We saved him and his family from the affliction, [the] great. |
| 21:77 | | And We helped him from the people who denied Our Signs. Indeed, they were a people evil, so We drowned them all. |
| 21:78 | | And Dawud and Sulaiman, when they judged concerning the field, when pastured in it sheep (of) a people, and We were to their judgment witness. |
| 21:79 | | And We gave understanding of i (to) Sulaiman, and (to) each We gave judgment and knowledge. And We subjected with Dawud the mountains (to) glorify Our praises and the birds. And We were the Doers. |
| 21:80 | | And We taught him (the) making (of) coats of armor for you to protect you from your battle. Then will you (be) grateful? |
| 21:81 | | And to Sulaiman, the wind forcefully blowing by his command to the land which We blessed [in it]. And We are of every thing Knowers. |
| 21:82 | | And of the devils (were some) who would dive for him and would do work other than that. And We were of them Guardians. |
| 21:83 | | And Ayub, when he called (to) his Lord, "Indeed, [I] has touched me the adversity, and You (are) Most Merciful (of) the Merciful." |
| 21:84 | | So We responded to him and We removed what (was) on him of (the) adversity. And We gave him his family and (the) like thereof with them (as) Mercy from Ourselves, and a reminder for the worshippers. |
| 21:85 | | And Ismail and Idris and Dhul Kifl; all (were) of the patient ones. |
| 21:86 | | And We admitted them in Our Mercy. Indeed, they (were) of the righteous. |
| 21:87 | | And Dhul Nun when he went (while) angry and thought that never We would decree upon him. Then he called in the darkness(es) that, "(There is) no god except You, Glory be to You! Indeed, [I] I am of the wrongdoers." |
| 21:88 | | So We responded to him, and We saved him from the distress. And thus We save the believers. |
| 21:89 | | And Zakariya, when he called (to) his Lord, "My Lord! (Do) not leave me alone, while You (are) [the] Best (of) the inheritors." |
| 21:90 | | So We responded to him, and We bestowed on him Yahya, and We cured for him his wife. Indeed, they used (to) hasten in good deeds, and they supplicate to Us (in) hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive. |
| 21:91 | | And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our Spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for the worlds. |
| 21:92 | | Indeed, this (is) your religion - religion one, and I Am your Lord, so worship Me. |
| 21:93 | | But they cut off their affair among themselves, all to Us (will) return. |
| 21:94 | | Then whoever does [of] [the] righteous deeds while he (is) a believer then not (will be) rejected [of] his effort. And indeed, We of it (are) Recorders. |
| 21:95 | | And (there is) prohibition upon a city which We have destroyed, that they not will return. |
| 21:96 | | Until when has been opened (for) the Yajuj and Majuj, and they from every elevation descend. |
| 21:97 | | And has approached the promise [the] true then behold, [it] (are) staring (the) eyes (of) those who disbelieved, "O woe to us! Verily, we had been in heedlessness of this; nay, we were wrongdoers." |
| 21:98 | | Indeed, you and what you worship from besides Allah (are) firewood (of) Hell. You to it will come. |
| 21:99 | | If were these gods, not they (would) have come to it. And all therein will abide forever. |
| 21:100 | | For them therein (is) sighing, and they therein not will hear. |
| 21:101 | | Indeed, those has gone forth for them from Us the good, those from it (will be) removed far. |
| 21:102 | | Not they will hear (the) slightest sound of it and they in what desire their souls will abide forever. |
| 21:103 | | Not will grieve them the terror [the] greatest, and will meet them the Angels, "This (is) your Day which you were promised." |
| 21:104 | | (The) Day We will fold the heaven like (the) folding (of) a scroll for records. As We began (the) first creation We will repeat it, a promise upon Us. Indeed, We - We are (the) Doers. |
| 21:105 | | And verily, We have written in the Scripture from after the mention, that the earth - will inherit it My slaves, the righteous. |
| 21:106 | | Indeed, in this surely is a Message for a people, worshippers. |
| 21:107 | | And not We have sent you but (as) a mercy for the worlds. |
| 21:108 | | Say, "Only it is revealed to me that your god (is) God One; so will you submit (to Him)?" |
| 21:109 | | But if they turn away then say, "I (have) announced to you over equally And not I know whether is near or far what you are promised. |
| 21:110 | | Indeed, He knows the declared [of] [the] speech and He knows what you conceal. |
| 21:111 | | And not I know, perhaps it may be a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a time." |
| 21:112 | | He said, "My Lord! judge in truth. And our Lord (is) the Most Gracious, the One Whose help is sought against what you attribute." |
