Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: They became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.

Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal (with Allah): They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold, they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and Allah will strongly enforce the penalty.

And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.

Those who were left behind (in the Tabuk expedition) rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Messenger of Allah: they hated to strive and fight, with their goods and their persons, in the cause of Allah: they said, "Go not forth in the heat." Say, "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could understand!

The Arabs of the desert are the worst in Unbelief and hypocrisy, and most fitted to be in ignorance of the command which Allah hath sent down to His Messenger: But Allah is All-knowing, All-Wise.

Then shall We certainly drag out from every sect all those who were worst in obstinate rebellion against (Allah) Most Gracious.

(Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm-trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!"

And thus do We recompense him who transgresses beyond bounds and believes not in the Signs of his Lord: and the Penalty of the Hereafter is far more grievous and more enduring.

He said: "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge which I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, before him, (whole) generations,- which were superior to him in strength and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected? but the wicked are not called (immediately) to account for their sins.

Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!

Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!

Now the 'Ad behaved arrogantly through the land, against (all) truth and reason, and said: "Who is superior to us in strength?" What! did they not see that Allah, Who created them, was superior to them in strength? But they continued to reject Our Signs!

And how many cities, with more power than thy city which has driven thee out, have We destroyed (for their sins)? and there was none to aid them.

But how many generations before them did We destroy (for their sins),- stronger in power than they? Then did they wander through the land: was there any place of escape (for them)?

Of a truth ye are stronger (than they) because of the terror in their hearts, (sent) by Allah. This is because they are men devoid of understanding.

Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise).

What! Are ye the more difficult to create or the heaven (above)? (Allah) hath constructed it:

此後，你们的心变硬了，变得像石头一样，或比石头还硬。有些石头，河水从其中涌出；有些石头，自己破裂，而水泉从其中流出；有些石头为惧怕真主而坠落。真主绝不忽视你们的行为。

有些人，在真主之外，别有崇拜，当做真主的匹敌；他们敬爱那些匹敌，象敬爱真主一样──信道的人们，对於敬爱真主，尤为恳挚──当不义的人，看见刑罚的时候，假若他们知道一切权力都是真主的，真主是刑罚严厉的……。

你们在那里发现他们，就在那里杀戮他们；并将他们逐出境外，犹如他们从前驱逐你们一样，迫害是比杀戮更残酷的。你们不要在禁寺附近和他们战斗，直到他们在那里进攻你们；如果他们进攻你们，你们就应当杀戮他们。不信道者的报酬是这样的。

你当为主道而抗战，你只负你自己的行为的责任，你当鼓励信士们努力抗战，也许真主阻止不信道者的战斗。真主的权力是更强大的，他的刑罚是更严厉的。

使者出征后，在后方的人因能安坐家中而高兴。他们不愿以自己的财产和生命为主道而奋斗，他们互相嘱咐说：“你们不要在热天出征。”你说：“火狱的火是更炽热的，假若他们是明理的。”

游牧的阿拉伯人是更加不信的，是更加伪信的，是更不能明白真主降示其使者的法度的。真主是全知的，是至睿的。

然后我必从每一宗派中提出对至仁主最悖逆的人。

法老说：“在我允许你们之前，你们就信奉他们了吗？他必定是你们的头子，他把魔术传授你们，所以我誓必交互着砍掉你们的手和脚， 我誓必把你们钉死在椰枣树干上，你们必定知道我们俩谁的刑罚更严厉，更长久。”

凡行为过分而且不信主的迹象者，我都要给他同样的报酬。 后世的刑罚，确是更严厉的，确是更常存的。

他说：“我获得这项财富，只是因为我有特殊的知识罢了。”难道他不知道吗？在他之前，真主所毁灭的各世代的恶人，有比他能力更强、积蓄更多的。犯罪的人，是不必加以审问的。

你问他们吧！究竟是他们更难造呢？还是我所创造的更难造呢？我确已用粘泥创造了他们。

至于阿德人，他们不该在地方上妄自尊大，他们说：“谁比我们能力更强大呢？”难道他们不知道创造他们的真主比他们更强大吗？他们否认了我的许多迹象，

至于阿德人，他们不该在地方上妄自尊大，他们说：“谁比我们能力更强大呢？”难道他们不知道创造他们的真主比他们更强大吗？他们否认了我的许多迹象，

有许多城市，其居民的势力，胜过那驱逐你的城市的居民；我曾毁灭了他们，他们没有任何援助者。

在他们之前，我毁灭了许多比他们更强悍的世代！他们曾在各地旅行，难道有什么避死的地方吗？

你们在他们的胸中确是比真主还可怕的，那是因为他们是不明理的民众。

夜间的觉醒确是更适当的；夜间的讽诵确是更正确的。

你们是更难造的呢？还是天是更难造的呢？他曾建造了天，
