But it is for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one above another, have been built: beneath them flow rivers (of delight): (such is) the Promise of Allah: never doth Allah fail in (His) promise.

Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of Allah! they are manifestly wandering (in error)!

Is one whose heart Allah has opened to Islam, so that he has received Enlightenment from Allah, (no better than one hard-hearted)? Woe to those whose hearts are hardened against celebrating the praises of Allah! they are manifestly wandering (in error)!

Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble thereat; then their skins and their hearts do soften to the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide.

Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.

Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.

We have put forth for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable, in order that they may receive admonition.

Is not Allah enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides Him! for such as Allah leaves to stray, there can be no guide.

Is not Allah enough for his Servant? But they try to frighten thee with other (gods) besides Him! for such as Allah leaves to stray, there can be no guide.

And such as Allah doth guide there can be none to lead astray. Is not Allah Exalted in Power, (Able to enforce His Will), Lord of Retribution?

If indeed thou ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they would be sure to say, "Allah". Say: "See ye then? the things that ye invoke besides Allah,- can they, if Allah wills some Penalty for me, remove His Penalty?- Or if He wills some Grace for me, can they keep back his Grace?" Say: "Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust."

What! Do they take for intercessors others besides Allah? Say: "Even if they have no power whatever and no intelligence?"

When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter are filled with disgust and horror; but when (gods) other than He are mentioned, behold, they are filled with joy!

Even if the wrong-doers had all that there is on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom from the pain of the Penalty on the Day of Judgment: but something will confront them from Allah, which they could never have counted upon!

Thus did the (generations) before them say! But all that they did was of no profit to them.

Nay, the evil results of their Deeds overtook them. And the wrong-doers of this (generation)- the evil results of their Deeds will soon overtake them (too), and they will never be able to frustrate (Our Plan)!

Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

"Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped.

"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!-

"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!-

But it has already been revealed to thee,- as it was to those before thee,- "If thou wert to join (gods with Allah), truly fruitless will be thy work (in life), and thou wilt surely be in the ranks of those who lose (all spiritual good)".

And thou wilt see the angels surrounding the Throne (Divine) on all sides, singing Glory and Praise to their Lord. The Decision between them (at Judgment) will be in (perfect) justice, and the cry (on all sides) will be, "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"

But (there were people) before them, who denied (the Signs),- the People of Noah, and the Confederates (of Evil) after them; and every People plotted against their prophet, to seize him, and disputed by means of vanities, therewith to condemn the Truth; but it was I that seized them! and how (terrible) was My Requital!

"And grant, our Lord! that they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom.

The Unbelievers will be addressed: "Greater was the aversion of Allah to you than (is) your aversion to yourselves, seeing that ye were called to the Faith and ye used to refuse."

They will say: "Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! Now have we recognised our sins: Is there any way out (of this)?"

Raised high above ranks (or degrees), (He is) the Lord of the Throne (of Authority): by His Command doth He send the Spirit (of inspiration) to any of His servants he pleases, that it may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting,-

Raised high above ranks (or degrees), (He is) the Lord of the Throne (of Authority): by His Command doth He send the Spirit (of inspiration) to any of His servants he pleases, that it may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting,-

Warn them of the Day that is (ever) drawing near, when the hearts will (come) right up to the throats to choke (them); No intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrong-doers have, who could be listened to.

And Allah will judge with (justice and) Truth: but those whom (men) invoke besides Him, will not (be in a position) to judge at all. Verily it is Allah (alone) Who hears and sees (all things).

但敬畏真主者，将来得享受楼房，楼上建楼，下临诸河，那是真主的应许，真主将不爽约。

真主为伊斯兰而开拓其胸襟，故能接受主的光明者，难道跟胸襟狭隘的人一样吗？悲哉为记忆真主而心硬者，这等人是在明显的迷误中的。

真主为伊斯兰而开拓其胸襟，故能接受主的光明者，难道跟胸襟狭隘的人一样吗？悲哉为记忆真主而心硬者，这等人是在明显的迷误中的。

真主曾降示最美的训辞，就是前后一律、反复叮咛的经典；畏惧主的人，为他而战栗，然后，为记忆真主而安静。那是真主的正道，他用来引导他所意欲引导者，真主使谁迷误，谁就没有向导。

在他们之前的人，（曾否认众使者），故刑罚从他们意想不到的地方来临他们。

在他们之前的人，（曾否认众使者），故刑罚从他们意想不到的地方来临他们。

我在这《古兰经》中，确已为人们设了各种譬喻，以便他们觉悟。

难道真主不能使他的仆人满足吗？他们以真主之外的神灵恫吓你，真主使谁迷误，谁就没有向导；

难道真主不能使他的仆人满足吗？他们以真主之外的神灵恫吓你，真主使谁迷误，谁就没有向导；

真主引导谁，谁也不能使他迷误的。难道真主不是万能的、惩恶的主吗？

如果你问他们：”谁创造了天地？”他们必定说：“真主。”你说：“你们告诉我吧，你们舍真主而祈祷的那些偶像，如果真主欲加害于我，他们能解除他的伤害吗？如果真主欲施恩于我，他们能扣留他的恩惠吗？”你说：“真主是使我满足的，信任者只信任真主。”

不然，他们却舍真主而要若干说情者。你说：“即使他们没有任何主权，也不了解任何事理，他们也能说情吗？”

有人只提及真主的时候，不信后世者便满心厌恶；有人提及真主以外的众神灵的时候，他们便兴高彩烈。

假若地面上的一切都归不义者所有，再加上同样的一份，他们必用做罚金，以赎取复活日的严刑。他们没有料到的刑罚，将从真主那里，对他们显现出来。

在他们之前的人，确已说过这样的话了；但他们所获的财产，对于他们没有裨益，

故他们已遭受自己所干的罪恶的果报。这些人中不义的人们，将遭受自己所干的罪恶的果报，他们绝不能逃避天谴。

（你说：）“我的过分自害的众仆呀！你们对真主的恩惠不要绝望，真主必定赦宥一切罪过，他确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

在刑罚来临你们，而你们不获援助以前，你们当归依你们的主。

在刑罚不知不觉地忽然降临你们以前，你们应当遵从你们的主降示你们的最美的训辞。”

在刑罚不知不觉地忽然降临你们以前，你们应当遵从你们的主降示你们的最美的训辞。”

你和你以前的人，都奉到启示说：“如果你以物配主，则你的善功，必定无效，而你必定成为亏折者。

你将见众天神环绕在宝座的四周，颂扬他们的主，他们将被秉公裁判。或者说：“一切赞颂，全归真主--全世界的主！”

在他们之前，努哈的宗族，和后来的各民族，都否认众使者，各民族都欲加害本族的使者；他们据谬妄而争论，欲借此驳倒真理，故我惩治了他们。我的刑罚是怎样的？

我们的主啊！求你让他们和他们的行善的祖先、妻子和子孙，一同进入你所应许他们的永久的乐园。你确是万能的，确是到睿的。

不信道者，必定要被召唤说：“真主痛恨你们，甚于你们痛恨自身，因为你们曾被召至正信，但你们不信。”

他们要说：“我们的主啊！你使我们死两次，你使我们生两次，故我们承认我们的罪过了。还能有一条出路吗？”

他是至尊的，是有宝座的，他依自己的决定发出的启示，授予他所意欲的仆人，以便他警告众人以相会之日--

他是至尊的，是有宝座的，他依自己的决定发出的启示，授予他所意欲的仆人，以便他警告众人以相会之日--

你应当以临近之日警告他们，那时他们的心将升到咽喉，他满腹忧愁。不义者，将没有任何亲友，也没有奏效的说情者。

真主本真理而裁判。他们舍他而崇拜的，不奉任何物而裁判。真主确是全聪的，确是全知的。
