بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Those who do not fear to meet Us say, ‘Why are the angels not sent down to us?’ or ‘Why can we not see our Lord?’ They are too proud of themselves and too insolent.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There will be no good news for the guilty on the Day they see the angels. The angels will say, ‘You cannot cross the forbidden barrier,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and We shall turn to the deeds they have done and scatter them like dust.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

But the companions in the Garden will have a better home on that Day, and a fairer place to rest.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

On the Day when the sky and its clouds are split apart and the angels sent down in streams,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

on that Day, true authority belongs to the Lord of Mercy. It will be a grievous Day for the disbelievers.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

On that Day the evildoer will bite his own hand and say, ‘If only I had taken the same path as the Messenger.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Woe is me! If only I had not taken so and so as a friend-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

he led me away from the Revelation after it reached me. Satan has always betrayed mankind.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The Messenger has said, ‘Lord, my people treat this Quran as something to be shunned,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but We have always appointed adversaries from the wicked, for every prophet: Your Lord is sufficient guide and helper.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The disbelievers also say, ‘Why was the Quran not sent down to him all at once?’ We sent it in this way to strengthen your heart [Prophet]; We gave it to you in gradual revelation.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They cannot put any argument to you without Our bringing you the truth and the best explanation.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is those driven [falling], on their faces,to Hell who will be in the worst place- they are the furthest from the right path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We gave Moses the Book and appointed his brother Aaron to help him.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We said, ‘Go, both of you, to the people who have rejected Our signs.’ Later We destroyed those people utterly.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The people of Noah, too: when they rejected their messengers, We drowned them and made them an example to all people. We have prepared a painful torment for the evildoers,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

as We did for the people of Ad, Thamud, and al-Rass, and many generations in between.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

To each of them We gave warnings, and each of them We destroyed completely.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

These disbelievers must have passed by the town that was destroyed by the terrible rain––did they not see it? Yet they do not expect to be raised from the dead.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Whenever they see you [Prophet] they ridicule you: ‘Is this the one God has sent as a messenger?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He might almost have led us astray from our gods if we had not stood so firmly by them.’ When they see the punishment, they will know who is furthest from the path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Think [Prophet] of the man who has taken his own passion as a god: are you to be his guardian?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are just like cattle- no, they are further from the path.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Do you not see how your Lord lengthens the shade? If He had willed, He could have made it stand still- We made the sun its indicator-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

but We gradually draw it towards Us, little by little.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is He who made the night a garment for you, and sleep a rest, and made the day like a resurrection.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is He who sends the winds as heralds of good news before His Mercy. We send down pure water from the sky,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

so that We can revive a dead land with it, and We give it as a drink to many animals and people We have created.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Many times We have repeated this to people so that they might take heed, but most persist in their ingratitude.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If it had been Our will, We would have sent a warner to every town,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

so do not give in to the disbelievers: strive hard against them with this Quran.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
