˹He is˺ the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, and the Lord of all points of sunrise.

˹fiercely˺ driven away. And they will suffer an everlasting torment.

So ask them ˹O Prophet˺, which is harder to create: them or other marvels of Our creation?1 Indeed, We created them from a sticky clay.2

When they are reminded, they are never mindful.

saying, “This is nothing but pure magic.

And our forefathers as well?”

It will only take one Blast,1 then at once they will see ˹it all˺.

˹They will be told,˺ “This is the Day of ˹Final˺ Decision which you used to deny.”

instead of Allah, then lead them ˹all˺ to the path of Hell.

˹Then they will be asked,˺ “What is the matter with you that you can no longer help each other?”

They will turn on each other, throwing blame.

The misleaders will reply, “No! You disbelieved on your own.

The decree of our Lord has come to pass against us ˹all˺: we will certainly taste ˹the punishment˺.

Surely on that Day they will ˹all˺ share in the punishment.

For whenever it was said to them ˹in the world˺, “There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah,” they acted arrogantly

In fact, he came with the truth, confirming ˹earlier˺ messengers.

and will only be rewarded for what you used to do.

They will have a known provision:

A drink ˹of pure wine˺ will be passed around to them from a flowing stream:

It will neither harm ˹them˺, nor will they be intoxicated by it.

as if they were pristine pearls.1 

One of them will say, “I once had a companion ˹in the world˺

When we are dead and reduced to dust and bones, will we really be brought to judgment?’”

Then he ˹and the others˺ will look and spot him in the midst of the Hellfire.

Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I ˹too˺ would have certainly been among those brought ˹to Hell˺.”

except our first death, nor be punished ˹like the others˺?”

For such ˹honour˺ all should strive.

We have surely made it a test for the wrongdoers.

bearing fruit like devils’ heads.

Then on top of that they will be given a blend of boiling drink.

Indeed, they found their forefathers astray,

And surely most of the earlier generations had strayed before them,

See then what was the end of those who had been warned.

Indeed, Noah cried out to Us, and how excellent are We in responding!

and made his descendants the sole survivors.1

“Peace be upon Noah among all peoples.”

˹For˺ he was truly one of Our faithful servants.

And indeed, one of those who followed his way was Abraham.

and said to his father and his people, “What are you worshipping?

What then do you expect from the Lord of all worlds?”

then said, “I am really sick.”1

Then he ˹stealthily˺ advanced towards their gods, and said ˹mockingly˺, “Will you not eat ˹your offerings˺?

Then he swiftly turned on them, striking ˹them˺ with his right hand.

He argued, “How can you worship what you carve ˹with your own hands˺,

They said ˹to one another˺, “Build him a furnace and cast him into the blazing fire.”

He later said, “I am leaving ˹in obedience˺ to my Lord. He will guide me.

So We gave him good news of a forbearing son.

Then when they submitted ˹to Allah’s Will˺, and Abraham laid him on his forehead ˹for sacrifice˺,

You have already fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.

And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice,1

“Peace be upon Abraham.”

He was truly one of Our faithful servants.

We blessed him1 and Isaac as well. Some of their descendants did good, while others clearly wronged themselves.

and delivered them and their people from the great distress.

We gave them the clear Scripture,

And We blessed them ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations:

Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.

And Elias was indeed one of the messengers.

Do you call upon ˹the idol of˺ Ba’l and abandon the Best of Creators—

But they rejected him, so they will certainly be brought ˹for punishment˺.

We blessed him ˹with honourable mention˺ among later generations:

Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.

And Lot was indeed one of the messengers.

except an old woman,1 who was one of the doomed.

You ˹Meccans˺ certainly pass by their ruins day

And Jonah was indeed one of the messengers.

Then ˹to save it from sinking,˺ he drew straws ˹with other passengers˺. He lost ˹and was thrown overboard˺.

Had he not ˹constantly˺ glorified ˹Allah˺,1

But We cast him onto the open ˹shore˺, ˹totally˺ worn out,

We ˹later˺ sent him ˹back˺ to ˹his city of˺ at least one hundred thousand people,

Ask them ˹O Prophet˺ if your Lord has daughters,1 while the pagans ˹prefer to˺ have sons.

Indeed, it is one of their ˹outrageous˺ fabrications to say,

Has He chosen daughters over sons?1

Will you not then be mindful?

Then bring ˹us˺ your scripture, if what you say is true!

Glorified is Allah far above what they claim!

Surely you ˹pagans˺ and whatever ˹idols˺ you worship

except those ˹destined˺ to burn in Hell.

We are indeed the ones lined up in ranks ˹for Allah˺.

They certainly used to say,

we would have truly been Allah’s devoted servants.”

Our Word has already gone forth to Our servants, the messengers,

and that Our forces will certainly prevail.

You will see ˹what will happen to˺ them, and they too will see!

Yet when it descends upon them:1 how evil will that morning be for those who had been warned!

You will see, and they too will see!

Peace be upon the messengers.
