It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her; that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand.

He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"

They seek to be informed by thee: "Is that true?" Say: "Aye! by my Lord! it is the very truth! and ye cannot frustrate it!"

It is He Who giveth life and who taketh it, and to Him shall ye all be brought back.

Say: "In the bounty of Allah. And in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice": that is better than the (wealth) they hoard.

For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme felicity.

Let not their speech grieve thee: for all power and honour belong to Allah: It is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things).

He it is That hath made you the night that ye may rest therein, and the day to make things visible (to you). Verily in this are signs for those who listen (to His Message).

They say: "Allah hath begotten a son!" - Glory be to Him! He is self-sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have ye for this! say ye about Allah what ye know not?

If Allah do touch thee with hurt, there is none can remove it but He: if He do design some benefit for thee, there is none can keep back His favour: He causeth it to reach whomsoever of His servants He pleaseth. And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

"If then they (your false gods) answer not your (call), know ye that this revelation is sent down (replete) with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god but He! will ye even then submit (to Islam)?"

"Of no profit will be my counsel to you, much as I desire to give you (good) counsel, if it be that Allah willeth to leave you astray: He is your Lord! and to Him will ye return!"

"I put my trust in Allah, My Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He hath grasp of its fore-lock. Verily, it is my Lord that is on a straight Path.

To the Thamud People (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. It is He Who hath produced you from the earth and settled you therein: then ask forgiveness of Him, and turn to Him (in repentance): for my Lord is (always) near, ready to answer."

When Our Decree issued, We saved Salih and those who believed with him, by (special) Grace from Ourselves - and from the Ignominy of that day. For thy Lord - He is the Strong One, and able to enforce His Will.

"And O my people! Do whatever ye can: I will do (my part): Soon will ye know who it is on whom descends the penalty of ignominy; and who is a liar! and watch ye! for I too am watching with you!"

But she in whose house he was, sought to seduce him from his (true) self: she fastened the doors, and said: "Now come, thou (dear one)!" He said: "Allah forbid! truly (thy husband) is my lord! he made my sojourn agreeable! truly to no good come those who do wrong!"

So his Lord hearkened to him (in his prayer), and turned away from him their snare: Verily He heareth and knoweth (all things).

Jacob said: "Nay, but ye have yourselves contrived a story (good enough) for you. So patience is most fitting (for me). Maybe Allah will bring them (back) all to me (in the end). For He is indeed full of knowledge and wisdom."

He said: "Soon will I ask my Lord for forgiveness for you: for he is indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

And he raised his parents high on the throne (of dignity), and they fell down in prostration, (all) before him. He said: "O my father! this is the fulfilment of my vision of old! Allah hath made it come true! He was indeed good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you (all here) out of the desert, (even) after Satan had sown enmity between me and my brothers. Verily my Lord understandeth best the mysteries of all that He planneth to do, for verily He is full of knowledge and wisdom.

And no reward dost thou ask of them for this: it is no less than a message for all creatures.

It is the same (to Him) whether any of you conceal his speech or declare it openly; whether he lie hid by night or walk forth freely by day.

It is He Who doth show you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope: It is He Who doth raise up the clouds, heavy with (fertilising) rain!

For Him (alone) is prayer in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but (futile) wandering (in the mind).

Is then one who doth know that that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the Truth, like one who is blind? It is those who are endued with understanding that receive admonition;-

Thus have we sent thee amongst a People before whom (long since) have (other) Peoples (gone and) passed away; in order that thou mightest rehearse unto them what We send down unto thee by inspiration; yet do they reject (Him), the Most Gracious! Say: "He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and to Him do I turn!"

Say: "He is my Lord! There is no god but He! On Him is my trust, and to Him do I turn!"

Is then He who standeth over every soul (and knoweth) all that it doth, (like any others)? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah. Say: "But name them! is it that ye will inform Him of something he knoweth not on earth, or is it (just) a show of words?" Nay! to those who believe not, their pretence seems pleasing, but they are kept back (thereby) from the path. And those whom Allah leaves to stray, no one can guide.

In gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.

他曾以太阳为发光的、以月亮为光明的，并为月亮而定列宿，以便你们知道历算。真主只依真理而创造之。他为能了解的民众而解释一切迹象。

真主使你们在陆上和海上旅行。当你们坐在船中，乘顺风而航行，并因风而欣喜的时候，暴风向船袭来，波涛从各处滚来，船里的人猜想自己已被包围，他们虔诚地祈祷真主，”如果你使我们脱离这次灾难，我们必定感谢你。”

他们问你：”这是真实的吗？”你说：“是的，指我的主发誓，这确是真实的，你们绝不能逃避天谴。”

他能使死者生，能使生者死；你们只被召归于他。

你说：“这是由于真主的恩惠和慈恩，叫他们因此而高兴吧！这比他们所聚积的还要好。”

在今世和后世，他们都将得到佳音。真主的诺言是毫厘不爽的。那确是伟大的成功。

你不要让他们的胡言乱语而使你忧愁；一切权势归真主，他确是全聪的，全知的。

他为你们创造了黑夜，以便你们在夜间安息；又创造白昼，以便你们在白天能看见东西。对于能听忠言的民众，此中确有许多迹象。

他们说：“真主以人为子。”光荣归于真主！他是无求的。天地万物都是他的。你们对此事并无明证，难道你们可以假借真主的名义而妄说出自己所不知道的事情吗？

如果真主降一点灾害于你，那末，除他之外，绝无能解除灾害的。如果他欲降福利于你，那末，任何人也不能阻拦他的恩惠。他把那恩惠降于他所意欲的仆人。他是至赦的，是至慈的。”

倘若他们不答应你们，那末，你们当知道这本经是依真主的知觉而降示的，并应当知道，除他外，绝无应受崇拜的。你们是顺服的人吗？

如果我欲忠告你们，而真主欲使你们迷误，那我的忠告是无济于你们的。他是你们的主，你们只被召归于他。”

我的确信托真主--我的主和你们的主，没有一种动物不归他管辖。我的主确是在正路上的。

我确已派遣赛莫德人的弟兄撒立哈去教化他们，他说：“我的宗族啊！你们应当崇拜真主，除他外，绝无应受你们崇拜的。他用地上的土创造你们，并使你们在大地上居住，故你们应当向他求饶，然后归依他。我的主确是临近的，确是有求必应的。”

当我的命令降临的时候，我因为从我发出的慈恩而使撒立哈和同他一起信道的人脱离当日的耻辱，你的主确是至强的，确是有权的。

我的宗族啊，你们按自己的能力而工作吧，我确是工作的！你们将知道凌辱的惩罚降临谁，而且知道谁是说谎的人。你们期待著吧！我将同你们一起期待的。”

他的女主人，把所有的门都紧紧地关闭起来，然后，勾引他说：“快来（拥抱）我啊！”他说：“求真主保佑我！他是我的主，他已优待了我。不义的人必定不会成功。”

他的主就答应了他，并且为他排除了她们的诡计。他确是全聪的，确是全知的。

他说：“不然！你们的私欲怂恿了你们做这件事，我只有很好的忍耐，但愿真主把他们统统带来给我。他确是全知的，确是至睿的。”

他说：“我将要为你们向我的主求饶。他确是至赦的，确是至慈的。”

他请他的双亲坐在高座上，他们为他而俯伏叩头，他说：“我的父亲啊！这就是我以前的梦兆的解释。我的主已使那个梦兆变成为事实了。他确已优待我，因为他把我从监狱里释放出来，他在恶魔离间我和我哥哥们之后，把你们从沙漠里带到这里来。我的主，对他所意欲者确是慈爱的。他确是全知的，确是至睿的。

你不为传授《古兰经》而向他们要求任何报酬。《古兰经》只是对世人的教诲。

你们中窃窃私语的，高谈阔论的，隐藏在黑夜的，出现在白昼的，（在他）看来都是一样的。

他是以电光昭示你们，以引起你们的恐惧和希望，并兴起密云。

真实的祈祷只归于他，他们舍他而祈祷的（偶像），一点也不能答应他们的祈求。但他们好像一个人，把两只手掌伸向水中，以便水达到他的口，其实，水绝不会达到他的口的。不信道者的祈祷，只在迷误中。

从你的主降示你的，正是真理，难道认识这个道理者跟盲人是一样的吗？唯有理智菩才能记住。

我这样派遣你去教化一个民族，在他们之前有许多民族确已逝去了，以便你对他们宣读我所启示你的经典，他们是不信至仁主的。你说：“他是我的主，除他之外，绝无应受崇拜的。我只信托他，我只以他为依归。”

监视每个灵魂的谋求者，难道像那不能监视的吗？他们为真主树立了许多伙伴，你说：“你们指出他们的名称吧。难道你们把真主在大地上所不知道的告诉他吗？不然，你们据浮辞而称他们为真主的伙伴。”不然，不信道者，已为自己的计谋所迷惑了。他们被阻挠而不能入正道。真主使谁迷误，谁就没有向导。

一口一口地饮，几乎咽不下去。死亡将从各处降临他，但他永不会死。在那种刑罚之后，还有严峻的刑罚。
