68 Al-Qalam | The Pen
-
68:1
N, the pen, and what they write.
-
68:2
You are not, by the blessing of your Lord, crazy.
-
68:3
You will have a reward that is well deserved.
-
68:4
You are on a high moral standard.
-
68:5
So you will see, and they will see.
-
68:6
Which of you are tormented.
-
68:7
Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed off His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.
-
68:8
So do not obey those who deny.
-
68:9
They wish that you compromise, so they too can compromise.
-
68:10
Do not obey every lowly swearer.
-
68:11
A slanderer, a backbiter.
-
68:12
Forbidder of charity, a transgressor, a sinner.
-
68:13
Ignoble, and additionally, mischievous.
-
68:14
Because he possessed money and children.
-
68:15
When Our signs are recited to him, he says: "Tales from the past!"
-
68:16
We will mark him on the path.
-
68:17
We have tested them like We tested those who owned the farms, when they swore that they will harvest it in the morning.
-
68:18
They were without doubt.
-
68:19
So a passing sent from your Lord came to it while they all were asleep.
-
68:20
Thus, it became barren.
-
68:21
They called on one another when they awoke.
-
68:22
"Let us go this morning to harvest the crop."
-
68:23
So they went, while conversing.
-
68:24
"Let not a poor person come to your presence today."
-
68:25
They went, ready to harvest.
-
68:26
But when they saw it, they said, "We have gone astray!"
-
68:27
"Now, we have nothing!"
-
68:28
The best among them said, "If only you had glorified!"
-
68:29
They said, "Glory be to our Lord. We have transgressed."
-
68:30
Then they started to blame each other.
-
68:31
They said, "Woe to us. We sinned."
-
68:32
"Perhaps our Lord will grant us better than it. We repent to our Lord."
-
68:33
Such was the punishment. But the retribution of the Hereafter is far worse, if they only knew.
-
68:34
The righteous have deserved, at their Lord, paradises of bliss.
-
68:35
Should We treat the ones who peacefully surrendered the same as those who are criminals?
-
68:36
What is wrong with you, how do you judge?
-
68:37
Or do you have another book which you study?
-
68:38
In it, you can find what you wish?
-
68:39
Or do you have an oath from Us, extending until the day of resurrection, that you can judge as you please?
-
68:40
Ask them: "Who of them will make such a claim?"
-
68:41
Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they are truthful.
-
68:42
The day will come when they will be exposed, and they will be required to prostrate, but they will be unable to.
-
68:43
With their eyes subdued, humiliation will cover them. They were invited to prostrate when they were whole and able.
-
68:44
Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this hadith; We will entice them from where they do not perceive.
-
68:45
I will lead them on; for My scheming is formidable.
-
68:46
Or did you ask them for a wage, so they are burdened by the fine?
-
68:47
Or do they know the future? So they have it recorded?
-
68:48
You shall be patient for the judgment of your Lord. Do not be like the companion of the fish who called out while he was in sorrow.
-
68:49
Had it not been for his Lord's grace, he would be ejected to the shore, in disgrace.
-
68:50
But his Lord blessed him, and made him righteous.
-
68:51
Those who have rejected almost attack you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say, "He is crazy!"
-
68:52
It is but a reminder for the worlds.
