Saheeh InternationalDeluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded

Yusuf AliWoe to the falsehood-mongers

Yusuf AliThose who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion

Saheeh InternationalWho are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless

Yusuf AliThey ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice

Saheeh InternationalThey ask, "When is the Day of Recompense

Yusuf Ali(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire

Saheeh International[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire

Yusuf AliTaste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened

Saheeh International[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient

Yusuf AliAs to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs

Yusuf AliTaking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life

Saheeh InternationalAccepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good

Yusuf AliThey were in the habit of sleeping but little by night

Saheeh InternationalThey used to sleep but little of the night

Yusuf AliAnd in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness

Saheeh InternationalAnd in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness

Yusuf AliAnd in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised

Saheeh InternationalAnd in the heaven is your provision and whatever you are promised

Yusuf AliThen, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other

Saheeh InternationalThen by the Lord of the heaven and earth, indeed, it is truth - just as [sure as] it is that you are speaking

Yusuf AliHas the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham

Saheeh InternationalHas there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham

Yusuf AliBehold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people

Saheeh InternationalWhen they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown

Yusuf AliThen he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf

Saheeh InternationalThen he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

Yusuf AliAnd placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat

Saheeh InternationalAnd placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat

Saheeh InternationalAnd he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy

Yusuf AliBut his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "A barren old woman

Saheeh InternationalAnd his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman

Yusuf AliThey said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge

Saheeh InternationalThey said, "Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing

Saheeh InternationalTo send down upon them stones of clay

Yusuf AliMarked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds

Yusuf AliThen We evacuated those of the Believers who were there

Saheeh InternationalSo We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers

Yusuf AliBut We found not there any just (Muslim) persons except in one house

Saheeh InternationalAnd We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims

Yusuf AliAnd We left there a Sign for such as fear the Grievous Penalty

Saheeh InternationalAnd We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment

Yusuf AliAnd in Moses (was another Sign): Behold, We sent him to Pharaoh, with authority manifest

Saheeh InternationalAnd in Moses [was a sign], when We sent him to Pharaoh with clear authority

Yusuf AliBut (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed

Saheeh InternationalBut he turned away with his supporters and said," A magician or a madman

Yusuf AliSo We took him and his forces, and threw them into the sea; and his was the blame

Saheeh InternationalSo We took him and his soldiers and cast them into the sea, and he was blameworthy

Yusuf AliBut they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on

Saheeh InternationalBut they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on

Yusuf AliThen they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves

Saheeh InternationalAnd they were unable to arise, nor could they defend themselves

Yusuf AliSo were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed

Saheeh InternationalAnd [We destroyed] the people of Noah before; indeed, they were a people defiantly disobedient

Yusuf AliWith power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace

Saheeh InternationalAnd the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander

Yusuf AliAnd We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out

Saheeh InternationalAnd the earth We have spread out, and excellent is the preparer

Yusuf AliAnd of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction

Saheeh InternationalAnd of all things We created two mates; perhaps you will remember

Yusuf AliHasten ye then (at once) to God: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open

Saheeh InternationalSo flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner

Yusuf AliAnd make not another an object of worship with God: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open

Saheeh InternationalAnd do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner

Yusuf AliSimilarly, no apostle came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed

Saheeh InternationalSimilarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman

Yusuf AliIs this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds

Saheeh InternationalDid they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people

Yusuf AliSo turn away from them: not thine is the blame

Saheeh InternationalSo leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed

Yusuf AliBut teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers

Saheeh InternationalAnd remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers

Yusuf AliI have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me

Saheeh InternationalAnd I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me

Yusuf AliNo Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me

Saheeh InternationalI do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me

Yusuf AliFor God is He Who gives (all) Sustenance,- Lord of Power,- Steadfast (for ever)

Saheeh InternationalIndeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength

Yusuf AliFor the Wrong-doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)

Saheeh InternationalAnd indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me

Yusuf AliWoe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised

Saheeh InternationalAnd woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised
