We have explained (things) in various (ways) in this Qur'an, in order that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their flight (from the Truth)!

And We put coverings over their hearts (and minds) lest they should understand the Qur'an, and deafness into their ears: when thou dost commemorate thy Lord and Him alone in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing (from the Truth).

Behold! We told thee that thy Lord doth encompass mankind round about: We granted the vision which We showed thee, but as a trial for men,- as also the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur'an: We put terror (and warning) into them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression!

We send down (stage by stage) in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe: to the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.

Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.

And We have explained to man, in this Qur'an, every kind of similitude: yet the greater part of men refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude!

We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.

These are verses of the Qur'an,-a book that makes (things) clear;

verily We have propounded for men, in this Qur'an every kind of Parable: But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, "Ye do nothing but talk vanities."

The Unbelievers say: "We shall neither believe in this scripture nor in (any) that (came) before it." Couldst thou but see when the wrong-doers will be made to stand before their Lord, throwing back the word (of blame) on one another! Those who had been despised will say to the arrogant ones: "Had it not been for you, we should certainly have been believers!"

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

The Unbelievers say: "Listen not to this Qur'an, but talk at random in the midst of its (reading), that ye may gain the upper hand!"

Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

在这部《古兰经》里，我确已反复申述这个宗旨，以便他们铭记。这种申述只会使他们更加憎恶。

我在他们的心上加了许多罩子，以免他们了解《古兰经》；又在他们的耳里造重听，当你在《古兰经》里只提到你的主的时候，他们憎恶地离去。

当时我曾对你说：“你的主是周知众人的。我所昭示你的梦兆和在《古兰经》里被诅咒的那棵树，我只以这两件事物考验众人，并加以恫吓，但我的恫吓只使他们更加蛮横。”

我降示可以为信士们治疗和给他们以恩惠的《古兰经》，它只会使不信道者更加亏折。

你说：“如果人类和精灵联合起来创造一部像这样的《古兰经》，那末，他们即使互相帮助，也必不能创造像这样的妙文。”

在这部《古兰经》里，我为众人确已申述各种比喻，但众人大半不信。

在这《古兰经》里，我确已为众人阐述了各种比喻，人是争辩最多的。

塔，辛。这些是《古兰经》--判别真伪的经典--的节文，

在这《古兰经》中，我确已为众人设了各种譬喻。如果你昭示他们一种迹象，那末，不信道者必定说：“你们只是荒诞的！”

不信道的人们说：“我们决不信这《古兰经》，也不信以前的经典。”假若你得见不义的人们被拘留在他们的主那里的时候，他们互相辩驳，被欺负的人们将对骄傲的人们说：“假若没有你们，我们必定是信道的。”

我在这《古兰经》中，确已为人们设了各种譬喻，以便他们觉悟。

不信道者说：“你们不要听这《古兰经》，你们应当扰乱诵经的声音，或许你们将获得胜利。”

你的主的确知道你礼拜的时间，不到全夜的三分之二，或二分之一，或三分之一。你的同道中，有一群人也是那样做的。真主预定黑夜和白昼的长度，他知道你们不能计算它，故赦宥你们。你们应当诵《古兰经》中简易的（文辞）。他知道你们中将有一些病人，和别的许多人，或旅行四方，寻求真主的恩惠；或为真主而作战，故你们应当讽诵其中简易的（文辞）。你们应当谨守拜功，完纳天课，并以善债借给真主。你们为自己做什么善事，都将在真主那里得到更好更大的报酬。你们应当向真主求饶，真主是至赦的，是至慈的。
