In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
By the [winds] scattering [dust], dispersing [it]
— Saheeh International
And the [clouds] carrying a load [of water]
— Saheeh International
And the ships sailing with ease
— Saheeh International
And the [angels] apportioning [each] matter,
— Saheeh International
Indeed, what you are promised is true.
— Saheeh International
And indeed, the recompense is to occur.
— Saheeh International
By the heaven containing pathways,1
— Saheeh International
Indeed, you are in differing speech.1
— Saheeh International
Deluded away from it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is he who is deluded.
— Saheeh International
Destroyed are the misinformers1
— Saheeh International
Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.
— Saheeh International
They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"
— Saheeh International
[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire.
— Saheeh International
[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."
— Saheeh International
Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,
— Saheeh International
Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.
— Saheeh International
They used to sleep but little of the night,1
— Saheeh International
And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
— Saheeh International
And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.
— Saheeh International
And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]
— Saheeh International
And in yourselves. Then will you not see?
— Saheeh International
And in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised.
— Saheeh International
Then by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking.
— Saheeh International
Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham?1 -
— Saheeh International
When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown."
— Saheeh International
Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.
— Saheeh International
And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"
— Saheeh International
And he felt from them apprehension.1 They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.
— Saheeh International
And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"
— Saheeh International
They said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing."
— Saheeh International
[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"
— Saheeh International
They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals1
— Saheeh International
To send down upon them stones of clay,
— Saheeh International
Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."
— Saheeh International
So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.
— Saheeh International
And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.1
— Saheeh International
And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
— Saheeh International
And in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority.1
— Saheeh International
But he turned away with his supporters and said, "A magician or a madman."
— Saheeh International
So We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy.
— Saheeh International
