1. Alif-Lam-Raa. These are the verses of a Book and of a Bright Quran.

PART-14 (Rubama)

2. The infidels would desire ardently that they had been Muslims.

3. Leave them to eat and enjoy and let the hope may amuse them now then
they are about to know.

4. And the town We destroyed it had a writing known.

5. No community can precede its promised time nor it can fall behind.

6. And they said 'O you upon whom Quran has been sent down, you are
certainly a madman.'

7. 'Why don't you bring angels to us, if you are truthful.'

8. We do not send down the angels without any purpose and if they come
down, they would not get a time.

9. No doubt, We have sent down this Quran, and We most surely are its
Guardian.

10. And assuredly. We sent messengers before you amongst earlier
peoples.

11. And not any messenger came to them, but they mocked at him.

I2. In the same way, We make a way for this mockery in the hearts of
the culprits.

13. They believe not therein. and already the example of the ancients
has gone forth.

14. And if We open any door for them in the heaven that they may ascend
through it in the day.

15. Even then they would say, 'Our sights have been tied, rather we
have been mesmerized.'

SECTION: 2

16. And We have indeed made constellations in the heaven and have
adorned it for the beholders.

17. And We have guarded it from every accursed Satan.

18. But whoever goes to hear stealthily, then he is pursued by a bright
flame.

19. And We have stretched the earth and put therein anchors, and caused
to grow therein everything proportionately.

20. And We have provided for you therein means of livelihood and also
for those you provide not for

21. And there is nothing of which there are not treasures with Us, and
We do not send it down but with a known measure.

22. And We have sent winds fecundating the clouds, then We sent down
water from the heaven. Then We gave it to you to drink, and you are not
its treasurers.

23. And verily it is We, Who give life, and We Who cause death and We
Who are Inheritor.

24. And We do know those who went ahead among you and We do know those
who remained behind among you.

No doubt, He is the Wise the Knowing.

26. And verily We have made man from ringing clay, which was in reality
black smelling mud.

27. And We have made Jinns before from the smokeless fire.

28. And recall when your Lord said to the angels, "1 am about to create
human-being from the ringing clay which is of the black smelling mud."

29. Then when, I had formed him and have breathed into him of My
special esteemed spirit, then fall down for him prostrate.

30. Then all the angels fell down prostrate together.

31. Save Iblis. He refused to be with the prostate.

32. Allah said `O Iblis, what happened to you that you did remain aloof
from the prostate.'

33. He said 'It is not befitting me that I should prostrate myself
before a human being whom You have made from the ringing clay which was
of the black smelling mud.'

34. Allah said 'Get out from the paradise, for, you are rejected.'

35. And verily there is curse upon you till the Day of Judgment.

36. He said 'O my Lord, give me time till the Day when they are being
raised.

37. Allah said 'you are among those who are given time.

38. Till the Known Day.

39. He said 'O my Lord, I swear of that. You led me astray, I will
deceive them in the earth, and certainly I will mislead all of them.

40. But those of them who are Your selected bondmen.

41. Allah said, 'This path leads to me straight.'

42. Verily, over My bondmen you have no control, save those misguided
ones who follow you.

43. And verily, Hell is the promised place of them all.

44. It has seven entrances. For each entrance there is an appointed
portion of them.

SECTION: 4

45. No doubt, the God-fearing are in the gardens and fountains.

46. Enter them with peace, in security.

47. And We took out whatever rancorous were there in their breasts,
they are brothers among each other, sitting upon couches facing each
other.

48. Neither any fatigue touches them, nor shall they be driven out
there from.

49. Inform My bondmen that undoubtedly, I am the Forgiving, the
Merciful.

50. And that the torment of Mine is the torment painful.

51. And tell them about Ibrahim's guests.

52. When they came to him, they said 'peace'. He said 'We feel afraid
of you.'

53. They said 'do not fear, we give you glad tidings of a son
possessing knowledge.'

54. He said, 'Do you give me glad tidings inspite of the fact that old
age has touched me.' of what then you give me the glad tidings'?

55. They said 'We have given you the glad tidings with truth be not
disappointed.'

56. He said, 'Who is disappointed of the Mercy of his Lord but those
who have gone astray.'

57. He said 'What now is your business O Messenger.

58. They said 'We have been sent towards a guilty people.

59. But the family of Lut We shall save them all.

60. But his wife, We have decided that she will be among those who
remains, behind.

61. Then when the messengers came to the household of Lut.

62. He said, 'Verily, you are a people stranger.'

63. They said 'Nay, we have brought to you that in which they were
doubting.

64. And We have brought to you the true Command and we are surely
truthful.

65. Therefore go away with your family whilst a portion of night is
left and you yourself follow then and let no one of you look back and
go straight whither you are Commanded.

66. And We made known the decision of this Commandment that the root of
these infidels shall be cut off by morning.

67. And the residents of the city came rejoicing.

68. Lut said 'These are my guests, therefore disgrace me not.'

69. And fear Allah and defame me not.

70. They said "Had we not forbidden you, against the interference in
the matter of others'.

71. He said 'These women of my people are my daughters if you are to
do.

72. O beloved' by your life, verily they are wandering about in their
intoxication.

73. Then a roaring cry overtook them at sunrise.

74. Then We made the upper side of that town lower side and rained upon
them stones of baked clay.

75. No doubt, in that are signs for men of sagacity.

76. And obviously that town is on the road that still exists.

77. No doubt, in that are signs for the believers.

78. And no doubt, the dwellers of the thicket were assuredly unjust.

79. Then We took vengeance on them; and no doubt both these towns lie
on a manifest way.

SECTION: 6

80. And no doubt, the people of Hijr belied the messengers.

81. And We gave them Our signs, but they kept their faces away from
them.

82. And they used to hew out houses in the mountains without fear.

83. Then the roaring voice overtook them in the morning.

84. Therefore their earning did not avail them.

85. And We created not the heavens and earth and whatever is between
them without any purpose And no doubt' the Hour is to come therefore
pardon graciously.

86. Certainly, your Lord is alone the great Creator. The Knowing.

87. And no doubt, We gave you seven verses, which are being repeated.
And the Grand Quran.

88. See not stretching your eyes the thing, We gave to their some pairs
to enjoy and grieve not over them. And took the Muslims in your wings
of mercy.

89. And say 'I am the plain warner.' (From the torment)

90. As We have sent down on the dividers.

91. Who tore the Quran. into pieces.

92. Then by your Lord, We shall certainly question them all.

93. What they used to do.

94. Therefore say them openly what you have been Commanded, and turn
away your faces from the polytheists.

95. No doubt, We suffice you against those mockers.

96. Those who set up another deity against Allah, then they will now
know.

97. And We do indeed know that your heart straitens at what they say.

98. Then praising your Lord, speak glory of Him and be of those who
prostrate.

99. And remains worshipping your Lord till death comes to you.
