- 68:1
- Noon. By the pen, and by what they inscribe
- 68:2
- By the grace of your Lord, you are not insane
- 68:3
- In fact, you will have a reward that will never end
- 68:4
- And you are of a great moral character
- 68:5
- You will see, and they will see
- 68:6
- Which of you is the afflicted
- 68:7
- Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best the well-guided
- 68:8
- So do not obey the deniers
- 68:9
- They would like you to compromise, so they would compromise
- 68:10
- And do not obey any vile swearer
- 68:11
- Backbiter, spreader of slander
- 68:12
- Preventer of good, transgressor, sinner
- 68:13
- Rude and fake besides
- 68:14
- Just because he has money and children
- 68:15
- When Our Verses are recited to him, he says, 'Myths of the ancients!'
- 68:16
- We will brand him on the muzzle
- 68:17
- We tested them, as We tested the owners of the garden, when they vowed to harvest it in the morning
- 68:18
- Without any reservation
- 68:19
- But a calamity from your Lord went around it while they slept
- 68:20
- And in the morning it was as if picked
- 68:21
- In the morning, they called to one another
- 68:22
- 'Go early to your plantation, if you are going to harvest.'
- 68:23
- So off they went, murmuring to one another
- 68:24
- 'No poor person is to enter it upon you today.'
- 68:25
- And early they went, resolved in intent
- 68:26
- But when they saw it, they said, 'We were wrong
- 68:27
- We are now deprived.'
- 68:28
- The most reasonable of them said, 'Did I not say to you, 'if only you would glorify?''
- 68:29
- They said, 'Glory to our Lord—We were indeed in the wrong.'
- 68:30
- Then they turned to one another, blaming one another
- 68:31
- They said, 'Woe to us—we were indeed domineering
- 68:32
- Perhaps our Lord will give us a better substitute for it. We are turning to our Lord.'
- 68:33
- Such is the punishment; but the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew
- 68:34
- For the righteous are Gardens of Delight with their Lord
- 68:35
- Shall We treat the Muslims like the villains
- 68:36
- What is the matter with you? How do you judge
- 68:37
- Or do you have a scripture in which you study
- 68:38
- Wherein there is whatever you choose
- 68:39
- Or do you have oaths from Us, binding until the Day of Resurrection, that you will have whatever you demand
- 68:40
- Ask them, which of them will guarantee that
- 68:41
- Or do they have partners? Then let them produce their partners, if they are truthful
- 68:42
- On the Day when the Shin will be exposed, and they will be called to bow down, but they will be unable
- 68:43
- Their eyes subdued, shame will cover them. They were invited to bow down when they were sound
- 68:44
- So leave Me to those who reject this discourse; We will proceed against them gradually, from where they do not know
- 68:45
- And I will give them respite. My plan is firm
- 68:46
- Or do you ask them for a fee, so they are burdened with debt
- 68:47
- Or do they know the future, and so they write it down
- 68:48
- So wait patiently for the Decision of your Lord, and do not be like the Fellow of the Fish who cried out in despair
- 68:49
- Were it not for his Lord's favor that reached him, he would have been thrown into the wilderness, fully despised
- 68:50
- But his Lord chose him, and made him one of the righteous
- 68:51
- Those who disbelieve almost stab you with their glances when they hear the message, and say, 'He is crazy!'
- 68:52
- But it is no less than a reminder to all the Worlds
