| | Umm Muhammad (Sahih International) rendition of Surah The Pen(al-Qalam)

| 68:1 | | Nun. By the pen and what they inscribe |
| 68:2 | | You are not, [O Muhammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman |
| 68:3 | | And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted |
| 68:4 | | And indeed, you are of a great moral character |
| 68:5 | | So you will see and they will se |
| 68:6 | | Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil] |
| 68:7 | | Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided |
| 68:8 | | Then do not obey the deniers |
| 68:9 | | They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you] |
| 68:10 | | And do not obey every worthless habitual sweare |
| 68:11 | | [And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip |
| 68:12 | | A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful |
| 68:13 | | Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender |
| 68:14 | | Because he is a possessor of wealth and children |
| 68:15 | | When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples." |
| 68:16 | | We will brand him upon the snout |
| 68:17 | | Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] mornin |
| 68:18 | | Without making exception |
| 68:19 | | So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep |
| 68:20 | | And it became as though reaped |
| 68:21 | | And they called one another at morning |
| 68:22 | | [Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit." |
| 68:23 | | So they set out, while lowering their voices |
| 68:24 | | [Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person." |
| 68:25 | | And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able |
| 68:26 | | But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost |
| 68:27 | | Rather, we have been deprived." |
| 68:28 | | The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [ Allah ]?' " |
| 68:29 | | They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers." |
| 68:30 | | Then they approached one another, blaming each other |
| 68:31 | | They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors |
| 68:32 | | Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous." |
| 68:33 | | Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew |
| 68:34 | | Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure |
| 68:35 | | Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals |
| 68:36 | | What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge |
| 68:37 | | Or do you have a scripture in which you lear |
| 68:38 | | That indeed for you is whatever you choose |
| 68:39 | | Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge |
| 68:40 | | Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible |
| 68:41 | | Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful |
| 68:42 | | The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able |
| 68:43 | | Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound |
| 68:44 | | So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know |
| 68:45 | | And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm |
| 68:46 | | Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down |
| 68:47 | | Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down |
| 68:48 | | Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed |
| 68:49 | | If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured |
| 68:50 | | And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous |
| 68:51 | | And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad." |
| 68:52 | | But it is not except a reminder to the worlds |
