Surah Al-Mu'minun

Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed -

And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of [Our] creation unaware.

And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.

And We brought forth for you thereby gardens of palm trees and grapevines in which for you are abundant fruits and from which you eat.

And [We brought forth] a tree issuing from Mount Sinai which produces oil and food [i.e., olives] for those who eat.

He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."

And say, 'My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best to accommodate [us].'"

Does he promise you that when you have died and become dust and bones that you will be brought forth [once more]?

It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.

He is not but a man who has invented a lie about Allāh, and we will not believe him."

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

And We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign and sheltered them within a high ground having level [areas] and flowing water.

[Allāh said], "O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am Knowing.

And indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."

But they [i.e., the people] divided their religion among them into portions [i.e., sects] - each faction, in what it has, rejoicing.

And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord -

And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.

Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allāh] for help.

My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels.

Then have they not reflected over the word [i.e., the Qur’ān], or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

Or do they say, "In him is madness"? Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

Or do you, [O Muḥammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

Say, [O Muḥammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.

[For such is the state of the disbelievers] until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back

So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.

But those whose scales are light - those are the ones who have lost their souls, [being] in Hell, abiding eternally.

[It will be said], "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"

They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.

But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.

Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."

They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."

He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.

Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"

So exalted is Allāh, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.
