Blessed is He in whose hands is all sovereignty, and He has power over all things.

He, who created death and life that He may test you [to see] which of you is best in conduct. And He is the All-mighty, the All-forgiving.

He created seven heavens in layers. You do not see any discordance in the creation of the All-beneficent. Look again! Do you see any flaw?

ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَّهُوَ حَسِيْرٌ‏(4)

Look again, once more. Your look will return to you humbled and weary.

وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيْحَ وَجَعَلْنٰهَا رُجُوْمًا لِّلشَّيٰطِيْنِ وَاَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيْرِ‏(5)

We have certainly adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and made them [the means of pelting] missiles against the devils, and We have prepared for them a punishment of the Blaze.

وَلِلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيْرُ‏(6)

For those who defy their Lord is the punishment of hell, and it is an evil destination.

They will say, ‘Yes, a warner did come to us, but we impugned [him] and said, ‘Allah did not send down anything; you are only in great error.’

وَقَالُوْا لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ اَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِىْۤ اَصْحٰبِ السَّعِيْرِ‏(10)

And they will say, ‘Had we listened or applied reason, we would not have been among inmates of the Blaze.’

فَاعْتَرَفُوْا بِذَنْۢبِهِمْۚ فَسُحْقًا لِّاَصْحٰبِ السَّعِيْرِ‏(11)

FA’TARAFOO BE-ZAMBEHIM, FA-SOHQAL LE-ASHAABIS SA-E’ER.

Thus they will admit their sin. So away with the inmates of the Blaze!

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّاَجْرٌ كَبِيْرٌ‏(12)

Indeed for those who fear their Lord in secret there will be forgiveness and a great reward.

وَاَسِرُّوْا قَوْلَكُمْ اَوِ اجْهَرُوْا بِهٖؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ‏(13)

Speak secretly, or do so openly, indeed He knows well what is in the breasts.

Would He who has created not know? And He is the All-attentive, the All-aware.

هُوَ الَّذِىْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ ذَلُوْلًا فَامْشُوْا فِىْ مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِهٖؕ وَاِلَيْهِ النُّشُوْرُ‏(15)

It is He who made the earth tractable for you; so walk on its flanks and eat of His provision, and towards Him is the resurrection.

Are you secure that He who is in the sky will not make the earth swallow you while it quakes?

اَمْ اَمِنْتُمْ مَّنْ فِى السَّمَآءِ اَنْ يُّرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ؕ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ كَيْفَ نَذِيْرِ‏(17)

Are you secure that He who is in the sky will not unleash upon you a rain of stones? Soon you will know how My warning has been!

Certainly those who were before them had impugned [My apostles]; but then how was My rebuttal!

Have they not regarded the birds above them spreading and closing their wings? No one sustains them except the All-beneficent. Indeed, He watches all things.

Who is it that is your host who may help you, besides the All-beneficent? The faithless only dwell in delusion.

Who is it that may provide for you if He withholds His provision? Indeed, they persist in defiance and aversion.

Is he who walks prone on his face better guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path?

When they see it brought near, the countenances of the faithless will be contorted, and [they will be] told, ‘This is what you were asking for!’

Say, ‘Tell me, whether Allah destroys me and those who are with me, or He has mercy on us, who will shelter the faithless from a painful punishment?’

قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمٰنُ اٰمَنَّا بِهٖ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَاۚ فَسَتَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ هُوَ فِىْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيْنٍ‏(29)

With a humbled look [in their eyes], they will be overcast by abasement. Certainly, they were summoned to prostrate themselves while they were yet sound.

Do you ask them for a reward, so that they are weighed down with debt?

Do they possess [access to] the Unseen, so that they write it down?

So submit patiently to the judgement of your Lord, and do not be like the Man of the Fish who called out as he choked with grief.

So his Lord chose him and made him one of the righteous.

Indeed the faithless almost devour you with their eyes when they hear this Reminder, and they say, ‘He is indeed crazy.’

Indeed your Lord knows that you stand vigil for nearly two thirds of the night—or [at times] a half or a third of it—along with a group of those who are with you. Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you cannot calculate it [exactly], and so He was lenient toward you. So recite as much of the Quran as is feasible. He knows that some of you will be sick, while others will travel in the land seeking Allah’s bounty, and yet others will fight in the way of Allah. So recite as much of it as is feasible, and maintain the prayer and pay the zakat and lend Allah a good loan. Whatever good you send ahead for your souls you will find it with Allah [in a form] that is better and greater with respect to reward. And plead to Allah for forgiveness; indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
