Quran 56

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 56 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate When the inevitable happens;  None shall call its happening a lie! -  Abasing, exalting! When the earth shall quake, quaking! And mountains shall crumble, crumbling, And become a scattered dust! And you shall be three kinds; Then the fellows of the right - what are the fellows of the right? And the fellows of the left - what are the fellows of the left? And the foremost, the foremost! Those are the ones brought near, In gardens of pleasure! A crowd of the former people, And a few of the later people! On gold-weft couches, Reclining on them, face to face. Around them shall go eternal youths, With goblets and ewers and a cup of flowing wine; No headache shall they feel therefrom, nor shall they be intoxicated! And fruit of what they select; And flesh of fowl as they desire; And wide-eyed houris Like hidden pearls; A reward for what they used to do! They shall hear no fol

Nay, they wonder that there has come to them a warner from among themselves; and the disbelievers say, 'This is a marvellous thing! What, when we are dead and have become dust? - that is a far return!' Certainly, We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a book guarding. Nay, they call the truth a lie when it comes to them, and they are in a confused affair. Have they not looked at the heavens above them, how We have built it and adorned it, and it has no flaws? And the earth, We have stretched it out and thrown in it firm mountains, and caused to grow therein of every beautiful kind. An insight and a reminder to every servant who repents! And We sent down from the heaven water as a blessing, and caused to grow therewith gardens and the harvest grain! And the tall palm trees having piled up spathes, A provision to ser

Quran 65

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 65 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate O prophet! When you divorce women, then divorce them at their term, and calculate the term and fear God your Lord. Do not drive them out of their houses, nor should they leave unless they have committed manifest adultery. And these are God's limits, and whoever transgresses God's limits then certainly he has wronged himself. You know not, perhaps God will bring about after that a matter. And when they have reached their term then retain them with kindness, or separate from them with kindness; and call to witness two just men among you, and give upright testimony to God. That is instructed to whoever believes in God and the Last day. And whoever fears God - He will make for him a way out, and He will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon God - then He is sufficient for him: indeed, God will attain His purpose: - indeed, God has s

By the pen, and what they write, you are not, by the grace of your Lord, mad! And indeed, for you surely is a reward unfailing. And indeed, you surely are of a grand nature! So you shall see and they shall see, which of you is the afflicted. Indeed, your Lord He knows best who errs from His way; and He knows best those who are guided. Then do not obey those who call you liar; they wish that you should compromise, then they would compromise.  And do not obey every mean swearer, backbiter, going about with slander, hinderer of the good, transgressor, sinful, cruel, after that base-born. Because he is a possessor of wealth and sons, when Our signs are recited to him he says, 'Legends of the ancients.' We will brand him on the nose! Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the fellows of the garden when they swore to pluck its fruits in the morning and made no e

Quran 70

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 70 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate A questioner asked for a punishment that must befall, to the disbelievers; there is no repelling it; from God, Lord of the ascents. The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day whose measure is fifty thousand years. So be patient with fair patience; indeed, they see it far off, but We see it near! The day the heaven shall be as molten brass, and the mountains shall be like flakes of wool; and no warm friend shall question warm friend; they shall gaze on each other, the sinner will wish that he might ransom himself from the punishment of that day by his children, and his mate, and his brother, and his kin who sheltered him, and whoever is in the earth, all together, then it might rescue him! Nay indeed, it is a flame, - dragging by the scalp! Calling those who retreated and turned their backs and amassed and hoarded! Indeed, man was created anxious! When evil touche

Quran 71

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 71 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, 'Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment!' He said, 'O my people! indeed, I am to you a clear warner, that you serve God and fear Him and obey me. He will pardon you your sins, and will defer you to an appointed time; Indeed, God's appointed time when it comes will not be deferred, if you only knew.' He said, 'My Lord! indeed, I have called my people by night and day, but my call has only increased them in flight. And indeed, every time I called them that You might pardon them, they placed their fingers in their ears and covered themselves with their garments and persisted, and were very big with pride. Then indeed, I called to them aloud, then indeed, I spoke publicly to them and I spoke to them in secret, and I said, "Ask forgiveness of your Lord, indeed, He is very forgiving. H

And indeed, a fool among us spoke against God wide of the mark! And indeed, we thought that men and jinn would never speak a lie against God. And indeed, there are persons amongst mankind who seek for refuge with persons amongst the jinn; so they increase them in perverseness. And indeed they thought, as you thought, that God would not raise up anyone. And we touched the heaven and found it filled with mighty guards and shooting-stars; And indeed, we used to sit in certain seats thereof to listen; but whoever listens now finds a shooting-star lying in wait for

And your garments purify! And abomination shun! And do not grant favours to gain increase! And for your Lord be patient! And when the trumpet is blown, - for that day is a difficult day! For the disbelievers - not easy! Leave me and him whom I created alone, And made for him extensive wealth,  And sons that he may look upon,  And I spread for him, ease. Then he desires that I should increase!  Nay, indeed he is hostile to Our signs!  Soon I will drive him up a hill! Indeed he reflected and planned! So may he be killed, - how he planned! Then, may he be killed, - how he planned! Then he looked; Then he frowned and scowled; Then he turned away, and was big with pride, Then he said, 'This is only magic exhibited! This is only mortal speech!' - Soon I will broil him in Hell-fire! And what shall make you

Quran 66

Click on this text to listen to the audio  This is Quran chapter 66 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate O prophet! Why do you prohibit what God has made lawful to you, craving to please your wives? And God is forgiving, compassionate. God has allowed you to expiate your oaths; and God is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise. And when the prophet told as a secret to one of his wives a statement, and when she gave information of it, and God exposed it to him, he made known some of it and avoided part. Then when he informed her of it, she said, 'Who told you this?' He said, 'The Knowing, the Aware informed me.' 'If you both turn repentant to God, - for indeed your hearts have deviated! But if you support one another against him, - then indeed, God, He is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers, and the angels after that are his supporters. It may be that his Lord if he divorces you will give him in exchange wives better

And what should make you know what the Reality is? Thamud and 'Ad called the striking Calamity a lie; but as for Thamud they perished by the shock; and as for 'Ad they perished by the violent cold blast of wind, which He imposed on them for seven nights and eight days consecutively. And you might see the people therein prostrate as though they were palm stumps thrown down, and can you see any remnant of them? And Pharaoh and those before him and the overturned cities committed sins, and they rebelled against the messenger of their Lord, so He seized them with an excessive seizure. Indeed, when the water surged, We carried you in the sailing ship, to make it a memorial for you, and that the retentive ear might hold it. So when the trumpet is blown with one blast, and the earth and the mountains are borne away and both are crushe

Nay, they shall soon know! Then, nay, they shall soon know! Have We not made the earth a couch, And the mountains as stakes, And We created you in pairs, And We made your sleep for rest, And We made the night a garment, And We made the day for livelihood, And We built above you seven strong, And We set a burning lamp, And We sent down from the rain clouds water pouring forth, To bring out thereby grain and herb, And gardens thickly planted? Indeed, the Day of Decision is an appointed time; the day the trumpet is blown, and you come in troops, and the heaven is opened, and becomes gates, and the mountains are moved, and become a mirage! Indeed, Hell is an ambush, A place of return for the outrageous, To tarry therein for ages. They shall not taste therein cool n

And those who glide swimming! And the preceders who precede! And those who manage an affair! On the day the quaking quakes, There will follow it the subsequent, Hearts, that day, shall tremble; Their eyes humbled! They say, 'Shall we indeed be sent back to the former state? What! When we are rotten bones?' They say, 'That, then, would be a losing return.' But it will only be one scare, And behold! They will be on the surface! Has the story of Moses come to you? When his Lord addressed him in the holy valley of Tuwa, 'Go to Pharaoh, indeed, he is outrageous; and say, "Have you a wish to purify yourself, and I may guide you to your Lord, so you may fear?"' So he showed him the great sign; but he called him a liar and rebelled. Then he retreated hastily, and gathered, and pro

But nay! I swear by the slinkers, the runners, the sinkers! And by the night when darkness draws on! And by the morning when it breathes! Indeed, it is surely the speech of a noble messenger, possessor of power, with the Lord of the Throne secure, obeyed, trustworthy. And your companion is not mad; And certainly he saw him on the clear horizon, Nor does he grudge t
