Nor did We send before thee (as messengers) any but men, whom we did inspire,- (men) living in human habitations. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? But the home of the hereafter is best, for those who do right. Will ye not then understand?

If thou dost marvel (at their want of faith), strange is their saying: "When we are (actually) dust, shall we indeed then be in a creation renewed?" They are those who deny their Lord! They are those round whose necks will be yokes (of servitude): they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for aye)!

And the Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide.

Those who fulfil the covenant of Allah and fail not in their plighted word;

The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence,-

"Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.

"For those who believe and work righteousness, is (every) blessedness, and a beautiful place of (final) return."

If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.

The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised!- beneath it flow rivers: perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the end of the Righteous; and the end of Unbelievers in the Fire.

Those before them did (also) devise plots; but in all things the master-planning is Allah's He knoweth the doings of every soul: and soon will the Unbelievers know who gets home in the end.

The Unbelievers say: "No messenger art thou." Say: "Enough for a witness between me and you is Allah, and such as have knowledge of the Book."

Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter, who hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance.

Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? - of the people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud? - And of those who (came) after them? None knows them but Allah. To them came messengers with Clear (Signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "We do deny (the mission) on which ye have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us."

And the Unbelievers said to their messengers: "Be sure we shall drive you out of our land, or ye shall return to our religion." But their Lord inspired (this Message) to them: "Verily We shall cause the wrong-doers to perish!

The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).

But those who believe and work righteousness will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow,- to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their Lord. Their greeting therein will be: "Peace!"

Allah will establish in strength those who believe, with the word that stands firm, in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave, to stray, those who do wrong: Allah doeth what He willeth.

Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who have changed the favour of Allah. Into blasphemy and caused their people to descend to the House of Perdition?-

Speak to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.

So warn mankind of the Day when the Wrath will reach them: then will the wrong-doers say: "Our Lord! respite us (if only) for a short term: we will answer Thy call, and follow the messengers!" "What! were ye not wont to swear aforetime that ye should suffer no decline?

"And ye dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged their own souls; ye were clearly shown how We dealt with them; and We put forth (many) parables in your behoof!"

Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to Allah's will) in Islam.

(So also on such) as have made Qur'an into shreds (as they please).

Those who adopt, with Allah, another god: but soon will they come to know.

Let them bear, on the Day of Judgment, their own burdens in full, and also (something) of the burdens of those without knowledge, whom they misled. Alas, how grievous the burdens they will bear!

Those before them did also plot (against Allah's Way): but Allah took their structures from their foundations, and the roof fell down on them from above; and the Wrath seized them from directions they did not perceive.

Then, on the Day of Judgment, He will cover them with shame, and say: "Where are My 'partners' concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?" Those endued with knowledge will say: "This Day, indeed, are the Unbelievers covered with shame and misery,-

Then, on the Day of Judgment, He will cover them with shame, and say: "Where are My 'partners' concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?" Those endued with knowledge will say: "This Day, indeed, are the Unbelievers covered with shame and misery,-

"(Namely) those whose lives the angels take in a state of wrong-doing to their own souls." Then would they offer submission (with the pretence), "We did no evil (knowingly)." (The angels will reply), "Nay, but verily Allah knoweth all that ye did;

在你之前，我只派遣了城市居民中的若干男子，我启示他们，难道他们没有在大地上旅行，因而观察前人的结局是怎样的吗？后世的住所，对于敬畏者是更好的。难道你们不理解吗？

如果你感到惊讶，那末，他们的这句话才是奇怪的：”当我们变成为尘土的时候，我们必定要重新受造吗？”这等人是不信他们的主的，这等人是要带枷锁的；这等人是居住火狱的，他们将永居其中。

不信道者说：“为什么没有一种迹象，从他的主降临他呢？”你只是一个警告者，每个民族都有一个引导者。

他们是实践真主的誓约而且不破坏盟约的。

不信道的人们说：“怎么没有一种迹象从他的主降临他呢？”你说：“真主必定使他所意欲者误入迷途，必定使归依他的人走上正路。”

他们信道，他们的心境因记忆真主而安静，真的，一切心境因记忆真主而安静。

信道而且行善者，得享幸福和优美的归宿。

假若有一部《古兰经》，可用来移动山岳，或破裂大地，或使死人说话，（他们必不信它）。不然，一切事情只归真主，难道信道的人们不知道吗？假若真主意欲，地必引导全人类。不信道的人们还要因自己的行为而遭受灾殃，或他们住宅的附近遭受灾殃，直到真主的应许到来。真主确是不爽约的。

已应许敬畏者的乐园，其情状是这样的：那乐园下临诸河，其中的果实是永恒的，其中的荫影也是永恒的。这是敬畏者的果报；不信道者的果报是火狱。

在他们之前的人，确已使用计谋；但一切计谋，只归真主，他知道每个灵魂的谋求。

不信道者将要知道，今世的善果将归谁所有。不信道的人们说：“你不是使者。”你说：“真主足以为我和你们之间的见证，认识天经的人也足以为我和你们之间的见证。”

他们宁要今世，而不要后世，并阻碍真主的大道，而且想在其中寻求偏邪道，这等人是在深深的迷误之中的。

你们以前的民族--努哈的宗族、阿德人、赛莫德人和他们以后的人，只有真主能知道他们--难道这等人的消息没有来临你们吗？他们族中的使者昭示他们许多明证，但他们把自己的手指插入口内，说：“我们必定不信你们所奉的使命，我们对于你们所宣传的事情，确是在使人不安的疑惑之中。”

不信道者对他们族中的使者说：“我们誓必把你们驱逐出境，或者你们誓必改信我们的宗教！”他们的主就启示他们说：“我誓必毁灭不义者，

不信主者，他们的善功比如一堆灰，在暴风之日，被狂风吹散，他们对于自己所谋求的，不能获得一点报酬。这确是深深的迷误。

信道而且行善者，将蒙主的允许而进入那下临诸河的乐园，并永居其中，他们在乐园里的祝辞是”平安”。

在今世和后世，真主以坚固的言辞使信道者坚信，真主使不义者误入迷途，真主是为所欲为的。

难道你没有看见那等人吗？他们对真主忘恩负义，并使自己的宗族陷于灭亡之境--

你要对我的那些信道的仆人，说：让他们谨守拜功，并且在那既无买卖又无友谊之日来临以前，秘密地和公开地分舍我所赐予他们的财物。

你应当警告众人，将来要有这样的一日，刑罚将来临他们，而不义者将说：“我们的主啊！求你让我们延迟到一个临近的定期，以便我们响应你的号召，顺从你的使者。”难道你们以前没有发誓说，你们绝不会灭亡吗？

你们曾居住在自亏者所住的地方，而且明白我是怎样处治他们的。我也为你们打了许多比方。

不信道者或许要希望他们原是归顺的。

他们把《古兰经》分割成若干肢体。

嘲笑者除真主外还崇拜别的神灵，不久他们就会知道了。

以便他们在复活日承担自己的全部责任，以及被他们无知地加以误导者的一部分责任。真的，他们所承担的真恶劣！

前人确已用计谋，但真主把他们的建筑物彻底加以摧毁，而他们的屋顶落在他们的身上。刑罚从他们料想不到的地方来临他们。

然后在复活日他要凌辱他们，并审问他们说：“我那些伙伴--你们为了他们而与信士们相争论的--如今在哪里呢？”有学识者将要说：“凌辱和刑罚今日必归于不信道者。”

然后在复活日他要凌辱他们，并审问他们说：“我那些伙伴--你们为了他们而与信士们相争论的--如今在哪里呢？”有学识者将要说：“凌辱和刑罚今日必归于不信道者。”

他们在自亏的情况下，天神们使他们死亡。他们表示屈服，说：“我们没有犯过什么罪恶。”不然！真主确是全知你们的行为的。
