The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: (It grows) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out (in beauty): the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest clean-mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect.

Whether We show thee (realised in thy life-time) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (Before that),- in any case, to Us is their return: ultimately Allah is witness, to all that they do.

Say: "Do ye see,- if His punishment should come to you by night or by day,- what portion of it would the sinners wish to hasten?

Perchance thou mayest (feel the inclination) to give up a part of what is revealed unto thee, and thy heart feeleth straitened lest they say, "Why is not a treasure sent down unto him, or why does not an angel come down with him?" But thou art there only to warn! It is Allah that arrangeth all affairs!

He said: "Would that I had power to suppress you or that I could betake myself to some powerful support."

They said: "O Shu'aib! Does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised, or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right-minded!"

"And O my people! let not my dissent (from you) cause you to sin, lest ye suffer a fate similar to that of the people of Noah or of Hud or of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you!

"And O my people! let not my dissent (from you) cause you to sin, lest ye suffer a fate similar to that of the people of Noah or of Hud or of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you!

The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.

So they both raced each other to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back: they both found her lord near the door. She said: "What is the (fitting) punishment for one who formed an evil design against thy wife, but prison or a grievous chastisement?"

Now when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph? Therefore will I not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allah commands me; and He is the best to command.

They said: "By Allah! (never) wilt thou cease to remember Joseph until thou reach the last extremity of illness, or until thou die!"

Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the wrath of Allah,- or of the coming against them of the (final) Hour all of a sudden while they perceive not?

He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away to foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables.

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.

Whether We shall show thee (within thy life-time) part of what we promised them or take to ourselves thy soul (before it is all accomplished),- thy duty is to make (the Message) reach them: it is our part to call them to account.

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!

Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls.

Do then those who devise evil (plots) feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them up, or that the Wrath will not seize them from directions they little perceive?-

Or that He may not call them to account in the midst of their goings to and fro, without a chance of their frustrating Him?-

Or that He may not call them to account by a process of slow wastage - for thy Lord is indeed full of kindness and mercy.

To Allah belongeth the Mystery of the heavens and the earth. And the Decision of the Hour (of Judgment) is as the twingkling of an eye, or even quicker: for Allah hath power over all things.

Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions.

Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.

Say: "(Nay!) be ye stones or iron,

"Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest (to be raised up),- (Yet shall ye be raised up)!" then will they say: "Who will cause us to return?" Say: "He who created you first!" Then will they wag their heads towards thee, and say, "When will that be?" Say, "May be it will be quite soon!

It is your Lord that knoweth you best: If He please, He granteth you mercy, or if He please, punishment: We have not sent thee to be a disposer of their affairs for them.

There is not a population but We shall destroy it before the Day of Judgment or punish it with a dreadful Penalty: that is written in the (eternal) Record.

今世的生活，就像是从云中降下雨水，地里的禾苗，即人和牲畜所吃的东西--就因之而繁茂起来。直到田地穿上盛装，打扮得很美丽，而农夫猜想自己可以获得丰收的时候，我的命令在黑夜或白昼降临那些田地，我使五谷只留下茬儿，彷佛新近没有种过庄稼一样。我为能思维的民众这样解释许多迹象。

如果我昭示你一点我所用以恫吓他们的那种刑罚，那末，我对他们确是全能的；设或我使你寿终，那末，他们只归于我，然后，真主是见证他们的行为的。

你说：“你们告诉我吧！如果他的刑罚，在黑夜或白昼来临你们，那末，犯罪的人们要求早日实现的是什么刑罚呢？

你或许不肯传达你所受的部分启示，而且因之而烦闷，因为恐怕他们说：“为什么，或有一个天神与他一道来临呢？”你只是一个警告者，真主是监护万物的。

他说：“但愿我有能力抵抗你们，或退避到一个坚强的支柱。”

他们说：“舒阿卜啊！难道你的祈祷命令你让我们放弃我们祖先所崇拜的（偶像）并命令你教我们不要自由地支配我们的财产吗？你确是宽仁的，确是精神健全的！”

我的宗族啊！你们绝不要因为反对我而使你们遭受努哈的宗族，或呼德的宗族，或撒立哈的宗族所遭受的惩罚。鲁特的宗族（灭亡的时代）离你们是不远的。

那购买他的埃及人对自己的妻子说：“你应当优待他，他也许对我们有好处，或者我们抚养他做义子。”我这样使优素福在大地上获得地位，以便我教他圆梦。真主对于其事务是自主的，但人们大半不知道。

他俩争先恐后地奔向大门。那时她已把他的衬衣从后面撕破了，他俩在大门口遇见她的丈夫，她说：“想奸污你的眷属者，他的报酬只有监禁或痛惩。”

当他们对优素福绝望的时候，他们离席而密秘会议，他们的大哥说：“你们的父亲曾要求你们指真主发誓，难道你们不知道吗？从前，你们曾怠慢了优素福。我绝不离开这个地方，直到父亲允许我，或真主为我而判决，他是最公正的判决者。

他们说：“指真主发誓，你将念念不忘优素福，直到你变成为憔悴的或死亡的。”

难道他们不怕真主惩罚中的大灾降临他们，或复活时在他们不知不觉之中，突然降临他们吗？

真主从云中降下雨水，一切沟壑就尽量流行。山洪载著浮渣--他们为制造首饰和器皿而熔化的金属，也有同样的浮渣。真主如此阐明真伪--至于渣滓则被冲走，至于有益于人的东西则留存在地面上。真主如此阐明许多比喻。

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。

如果我把我用来恫吓他们的刑罚昭示你一点儿，（那会使你满意），如果我使你寿终，那么，你只负传达的责任，我自负清算的责任。

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，

（不信道者）只能等待天神们来临他们，或等待你的主的命令降临。在他们之前的人就是这样做的。真主没有亏枉他们，但他们却亏枉了自己。

使用诡计以作恶者，难道不怕真主使他们随地面而陷落，或刑罚从他们料想不到的地方来临他们吗？

或在他们的旅途中惩治他们，而他们绝不能逃避。

或逐渐惩治他们，因为你们的主确是至爱的，确是至慈的。

天地的幽玄只是真主的。复活时刻的到来，只在转瞬间，或更为迅速。真主对于万事，确是全能的。

凡行善的男女信士，我誓必要使他们过一种美满的生活，我誓必要以他们所行的最大善功报酬他们。

你的主曾下令说：你们应当只崇拜他，应当孝敬父母。如果他俩中的一人或者两人在你的堂上达到老迈，那末，你不要对他俩说：“呸！”不要喝斥他俩，你应当对他俩说有礼貌的话。

你说：“尽管你们变成石头，或铁块，

或你们认为更难于接受生命的什么东西。”他们将说：“谁使我们复活呢？”你说：“初次创造你们的主。”他们将对你摇头说：“这件事将在何时发出呢？”你说：“这件事或许是临近了。”

”你们的主是最知道你们的，他要怜悯你们就怜悯你们；他要惩罚你们就惩罚你们。”我没派遣你做他们的监护者。

一切市镇，在复活日之前，我都要加以毁灭，或加以严厉的惩罚，这是记录在天经里的。
