IslamAwakened.com Qur'an Tafsir of Surah al-Qalam - The Pen as rendered by
[The Monotheist Group] (2011 Edition)
68:1
N, the pen, and what they write
68:2
You are not, by the blessing of your Lord, a madman
68:3
And you will have a reward that is well deserved
68:4
And you are of a high moral character
68:5
So you will see, and they will see
68:6
Which of you are condemned
68:7
Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed off His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided
68:8
So do not obey those who deny
68:9
They wish that you compromise, so they too can compromise
68:10
And do not obey every lowly swearer
68:11
A slanderer, a backbiter
68:12
Forbidder of charity, a transgressor, a sinner
68:13
Unappreciative, and greedy
68:14
Because he possessed money and children
68:15
When Our revelations are recited to him, he says: "Tales from the past!"
68:16
We will mark him on the path
68:17
We have tested them like We tested those who owned the paradise, when they swore that they will harvest it in the morning
68:18
They were without doubt
68:19
So a passing sent from your Lord came to it while they all were asleep
68:20
Thus, it became barren
68:21
They called on one another when they awoke
68:22
"Let us go this morning to harvest the crop."
68:23
So they went, while conversing
68:24
That from today, none of them would ever be poor
68:25
And they went, ready to harvest
68:26
But when they saw it, they said: "We have gone astray!"
68:27
"Now, we have nothing!"
68:28
The best among them said: "If only you had glorified!"
68:29
They said: "Glory be to our Lord. We have transgressed."
68:30
Then they started to blame each other
68:31
They said: "Woe to us. We sinned."
68:32
"Perhaps our Lord will grant us better than it. We repent to our Lord."
68:33
Such was the punishment. But the retribution of the Hereafter is far worse, if they only knew
68:34
The righteous have deserved, at their Lord, paradises of bliss
68:35
Should We treat the ones who surrendered the same as those who are criminal
68:36
What is wrong with you, how do you judg
68:37
Or do you have another book which you stud
68:38
In it, you can find what you wis
68:39
Or do you have an oath from Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that you can judge as you pleas
68:40
Ask them: "Who of them will make such a claim"
68:41
Or do they have partners Then let them bring their partners, if they are truthful
68:42
The Day will come when they will be exposed, and they will be required to prostrate, but they will be unable to
68:43
With their eyes subdued, humiliation will cover them. They were invited to prostrate when they were whole and able
68:44
Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this narration; We will entice them from where they do not perceive
68:45
And I will lead them on; for My scheming is formidable
68:46
Or did you ask them for a wage, so they are burdened by the fin
68:47
Or do they know the future So they have it recorde
68:48
You shall be patient for the judgement of your Lord. And do not be like he who called from inside the whale while he was in sorrow
68:49
Had it not been for his Lord's grace, he would have remained trapped, while he was to be blamed
68:50
But his Lord blessed him, and made him righteous
68:51
And those who have rejected almost attack you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they Say: "He is crazy!"
68:52
It is but a reminder for the worlds
