And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,

[Saying], "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

And crops and noble sites

And comfort wherein they were amused.

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

Indeed, the Day of Judgement is the appointed time for them all -

The Day when no relation will avail a relation at all, nor will they be helped -

Except those [believers] on whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Indeed, the tree of zaqqum

Is food for the sinful.

Like murky oil, it boils within bellies

Like the boiling of scalding water.

[It will be commanded], "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Hellfire,

Then pour over his head from the torment of scalding water."

[It will be said], "Taste! Indeed, you are the honored, the noble!

Indeed, this is what you used to dispute."

Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place;

Within gardens and springs,

Wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other.

Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes.

They will call therein for every [kind of] fruit - safe and secure.

They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will have protected them from the punishment of Hellfire

As bounty from your Lord. That is what is the great attainment.

And indeed, We have eased the Qur'an in your tongue that they might be reminded.

So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].

Ha, Meem.

The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers.

And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith].

And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allah sends down from the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason.

These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allah and His verses will they believe?

Woe to every sinful liar

Who hears the verses of Allah recited to him, then persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.

And when he knows anything of Our verses, he takes them in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.

Before them is Hell, and what they had earned will not avail them at all nor what they had taken besides Allah as allies. And they will have a great punishment.

This [Qur'an] is guidance. And those who have disbelieved in the verses of their Lord will have a painful punishment of foul nature.
