Were it not that favor from his Lord had overtaken him, he would certainly have been cast down upon the naked Found while he was blamed.

Then his Lord chose him, and He made him of the good.

Do you then see of them one remaining?

Nor any food except refuse,

It is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

And not one of you could have withheld Us from him.

From Allah, the Lord of the ways of Ascent.

(Though) they shall be made to see each other. The guilty one would fain redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by (sacrificing) his children,

And those who are fearful of the chastisement of their Lord--

The day on which they shall come forth from their graves in haste, as if they were hastening on to a goal,

Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement.

He will forgive you some of your faults and grant you a delay to an appointed term; surely the term of Allah when it comes is not postponed; did you but know!

And Allah has made you grow out of the earth as a growth:

Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah.

And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers:

Say: It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened, and they said: Surely we have heard a wonderful Quran,

And that persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in wrongdoing:

Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge:

(It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time.

Except to him whom He chooses as a messenger; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him,

Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearly two-thirds of the night, and (sometimes) half of it, and (sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those with you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to do it, so He has turned to you (mercifully), therefore read what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there must be among you sick, and others who travel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, and others who fight in Allah's way, therefore read as much of it as is easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift, and whatever of good you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find it with Allah; that is best and greatest in reward; and ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;

That had fled from a lion?

Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,

There surely came over man a period of time when he was a thing not worth mentioning.

Surely We have created man from a small life-germ uniting (itself): We mean to try him, so We have made him hearing, seeing.

Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor

Surely we fear from our Lord a stern, distressful day.

And there shall be made to go round about them vessels of silver and goblets which are of glass,

(Transparent as) glass, made of silver; they have measured them according to a measure.

Upon them shall be garments of fine green silk and thick silk interwoven with gold, and they shall be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord shall make them drink a pure drink.

And during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of the) night.

Did We not create you from contemptible water?

Neither having the coolness of the shade nor availing against the flame.

And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,

A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:

About what! You are one to remind of it.

Of what thing did He create him?

Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,

The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,

They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).

And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,

Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.

So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;

Surely (as for) those who believe and do good, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, that is the great achievement.

And Allah encompasses them on every side.

He is created of water pouring forth,

Coming from between the back and the ribs.

He shall have neither strength nor helper.

Made to drink from a boiling spring.

They shall have no food but of thorns,

Which will neither fatten nor avail against hunger.

Then he is of those who believe and charge one another to show patience, and charge one another to show compassion.

And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,

And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.

He created man from a clot.

The grand night is better than a thousand months.

The angels and Gibreel descend in it by the permission of their Lord for every affair,

Those who disbelieved from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists could not have separated (from the faithful) until there had come to them the clear evidence:

An messenger from Allah, reciting pure pages,

And those who were given the Book did not become divided except after clear evidence had come to them.

Surely those who disbelieve from among the followers of the Book and the polytheists shall be in the fire of hell, abiding therein; they are the worst of men.

Their reward with their Lord is gardens of perpetuity beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein for ever; Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him; that is for him who fears his Lord.

Casting against them stones of baked clay,

Who feeds them against hunger and gives them security against fear.

Upon her neck a halter of strongly twisted rope.

From the evil of what He has created,

And from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes,

And from the evil of those who blow on knots,

And from the evil of the envious when he envies

From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Shaitan),

From among the jinn and the men.
