Ayat 3 - A Book whose verses have been distinguished
and explained, a lucid discourse for people who understand,
Ayat 4 - Announcing happy news and warnings. And yet
most of them are averse and do not listen,
Ayat 5 - And say: "Our hearts are immured against
what you call us to. There is a deafness in our ears, and a veil lies between us and you. So act (your way), we are acting
(ours)."
Ayat 6 - Say: "I am a man like you, (but) it is
revealed to me that your God is one God, so take the straight path to Him, and ask Him to forgive your sins. Woe to the
idolaters

have a continuing reward.
Ayat 9 - Say: "Do you refuse to believe in Him who
created the earth in two spans of time, and set up compeers to Him, the Lord of all the worlds?
Ayat 10 - He placed firm stabilisers rising above its
surface, blessed it with plenty and growth, and ingrained the means of growing its food within it, sufficient for all seekers,
in four spans.
Ayat 11 - Then He turned to the heavens, and it was
smoke. So He said to it and the earth: "Come with willing obedience or perforce." They said: "We come willingly."
Ayat 12 - Then He created several skies in two spans,
and ingrained in each sky its function, decking the nearest heaven with lamps, and guarded it. This has been determined by the
mighty and all-knowing.
Ayat 13 - If even then they turn away, tell them: "I
forewarn you of a terrible punishment like the thunderbolt that fell upon the ´Ad and Thamud."
Ayat 14 - Their apostles came to them one after the
other (saying): "Do not worship any one but God." They said: "If our Lord had pleased He would have sent the angels down. We
reject what is sent with you."
Ayat 15 - So those who were ´Ad turned insolent
unjustly in the land, and said: "Who is stronger than us?" Did they not see that God who created them was greater far in
power than they? Yet they refused to believe Our signs.
Ayat 16 - So We let loose on them a violent wind for
several days of distress to make them taste a most disgraceful punishment here in this world, and far more shameful will be the
punishment in the Hereafter, and there will be no succour for them.
Ayat 17 - As for the (tribe of) Thamud, We tried to
guide them, but they preferred blindness to guidance; then they were seized by the torment of a humiliating punishment as

heed for themselves.
Ayat 19 - The day the enemies of God will be gathered

eyes and persons will testify to what they did.

did you testify against us?" They will answer: "God, who gave all things power of articulation, made us speak. It is He who
created you the first time, and to Him you will return.
Ayat 22 - You did not hide your (doings) so that your
ears or eyes or persons should not testify against you. In fact you thought that God did not know the things you used to do.

caused your ruin, and you are lost."
Ayat 24 - Even if they are patient, their abode is
Hell; and if they beg for favour, none will favour them.
Ayat 25 - We had assigned to them close companions
who made their past and present look attractive to them; and the fate that had once befallen the communities of jinns and men

Hereafter where you will get whatever your hearts desire, and have whatsoever you ask for,

(God)."
Ayat 33 - Whose word is better than his who calls to
God and does the right, and says: "I am of the obedient?"
Ayat 34 - Good and evil are not alike. Repel evil

a man of great good fortune can achieve it.
Ayat 36 - If the Devil incite you to evil, seek
refuge in God. He is all-hearing and all-knowing.
Ayat 37 - The night and day and the sun and moon are
(only) some of His signs. So do not bow before the sun and the moon, but bow in homage to God who created them, if you truly
worship Him.

that those who are close to your Lord sing His praises night and day and do not grow weary of (doing so).

see all barren and desolate begins to stir and sprout when We send down rain upon it. Surely He who gives it life will also
give life to the dead. Indeed He has power over everything.
Ayat 40 - Surely those who slander Our signs are not
hidden from Us. Then, is he better who will be cast into Hell, or he who will come out safe on the Day of Resurrection? Do

come to them (should know) that it is a Book inviolate.
Ayat 42 - Falsehood cannot enter it from any side:
It´s a revelation from the all-wise and praiseworthy (God).
Ayat 43 - Nothing is said to you which had not been
said to other apostles before you. Surely your Lord is the lord of forgiveness, but also the lord of severe retribution.
Ayat 44 - If We had made it a discourse in an obscure
tongue, they would have said: "Why were its revelations not expounded distinctly? A foreign tongue and an Arab (audience)?"
Say: "For those who believe it is a guidance and a healing; but for those who do not believe it is a deafness in the ears, and
a blindness. They are those one calls to from far away.

are still in doubt about it and uneasy.

whoever does wrong bears the guilt thereof. Your Lord does no wrong to His creatures.

for them."

some distress he has known, he says: "It was my due. I cannot imagine the Hour will come. And even if I go back to my Lord,

on them a heavy punishment.

away and turns aside; but when in trouble he prays a great deal.
Ayat 52 - Say: "Just think. If this is from God and
you deny it, who will be in greater error than he who is in open dissent?"
Ayat 53 - We will show Our signs to them in the
horizons of the external world and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it´s the truth. Is your Lord not
sufficient? He is a witness over all things.
Ayat 54 - In truth they are in doubt that they will
ever face their Lord. Do they not know that He surrounds all things?
