In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. |
||||
Allah has declared Muhammad to be of the highest moral character and Do not yield any disbelieving oath monger, slanderer and wicked person
|
1 |
Nũn. By the pen and what everyone writes! |
||
2 |
By the grace of your Lord, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not insane. |
|||
3 |
You will certainly have a never-ending reward. |
|||
4 |
And you are truly ˹a man˺ of outstanding character. |
|||
5 |
Soon you and the pagans will see, |
|||
6 |
which of you is mad. |
|||
7 |
Surely your Lord ˹alone˺ knows best who has strayed from His Way and who is ˹rightly˺ guided. |
|||
8 |
So do not give in to the deniers. |
|||
9 |
They wish you would compromise so they would yield ˹to you˺. |
|||
10 |
And do not obey the despicable, vain oath-taker, |
|||
11 |
slanderer, gossip-monger, |
|||
12 |
withholder of good, transgressor, evildoer, |
|||
13 |
brute, and—on top of all that—an illegitimate child. |
|||
14 |
Now, ˹simply˺ because he has been blessed with ˹abundant˺ wealth and children, |
|||
15 |
whenever Our revelations are recited to him, he says, “Ancient fables!” |
|||
16 |
We will soon mark his snout.1 |
|||
What happened to the arrogant stingy owners of a garden who did not want to pay charity?
|
17 |
Indeed, We have tested those ˹Meccans˺ as We tested the owners of the garden—when they swore they would surely harvest ˹all˺ its fruit in the early morning, |
||
18 |
leaving no thought for Allah’s Will.1 |
|||
19 |
Then it was struck by a torment from your Lord while they slept, |
|||
20 |
so it was reduced to ashes. |
|||
21 |
Then by daybreak they called out to each other, |
|||
22 |
˹saying,˺ “Go early to your harvest, if you want to pick ˹all˺ the fruit.” |
|||
23 |
So they went off, whispering to one another, |
|||
24 |
“Do not let any poor person enter your garden today.” |
|||
25 |
And they proceeded early, totally fixated on their purpose. |
|||
26 |
But when they saw it ˹devastated˺, they cried, “We must have lost ˹our˺ way! |
|||
27 |
In fact, we have been deprived ˹of our livelihood˺.” |
|||
28 |
The most sensible of them said, “Did I not urge you to say, ‘Allah willing.’?” |
|||
29 |
They replied, “Glory be to our Lord! We have truly been wrongdoers.” |
|||
30 |
Then they turned on each other, throwing blame. |
|||
31 |
They said, “Woe to us! We have certainly been transgressors. |
|||
32 |
We trust our Lord will give us a better garden than this, ˹for˺ we are indeed turning to our Lord with hope.”1 |
|||
33 |
That is the ˹way of Our˺ punishment ˹in this world˺. But the punishment of the Hereafter is certainly far worse, if only they knew.1 |
|||
Allah is not going to treat the Muslims as He will treat the guilty Why disbelievers do not understand this?
|
34 |
Indeed, the righteous will have the Gardens of Bliss with their Lord. |
||
35 |
Should We then treat those who have submitted like the wicked? |
|||
36 |
What is the matter with you? How do you judge? |
|||
37 |
Or do you have a scripture, in which you read |
|||
38 |
that you will have whatever you choose? |
|||
39 |
Or do you have oaths binding on Us until the Day of Judgment that you will have whatever you decide? |
|||
40 |
Ask them ˹O Prophet˺ which of them can guarantee all that. |
|||
41 |
Or do they have associate-gods ˹spanporting this claim˺? Then let them bring forth their associate-gods, if what they say is true. |
|||
42 |
˹Beware of˺ the Day the Shin ˹of Allah˺ will be bared,1 and the wicked will be asked to prostrate, but they will not be able to do so, |
|||
43 |
with eyes downcast, totally covered with disgrace. For they were ˹always˺ called to prostrate ˹in the world˺ when they were fully capable ˹but they chose not to˺. |
|||
Those who do not believe in Allah's revelations are led step by step towards destruction
|
44 |
So leave to Me ˹O Prophet˺ those who reject this message. We will gradually draw them to destruction in ways they cannot comprehend. |
||
45 |
I ˹only˺ delay their end for a while, but My planning is flawless. |
|||
46 |
Or are you asking them for a reward ˹for the message˺ so that they are overburdened by debt? |
|||
47 |
Or do they have access to ˹the Record in˺ the unseen, so they copy it ˹for all to see˺? |
|||
48 |
So be patient with your Lord’s decree, and do not be like ˹Jonah,˺ the Man of the Whale, who cried out ˹to Allah˺, in total distress.1 |
|||
49 |
Had he not been shown grace by his Lord, he would have certainly been cast onto the open ˹shore˺, still blameworthy. |
|||
50 |
Then his Lord chose him, making him one of the righteous. |
|||
51 |
The disbelievers would almost cut you down with their eyes when they hear ˹you recite˺ the Reminder,1 and say, “He is certainly a madman.” |
|||
52 |
But it is simply a reminder to the whole world. |
