Quran 53

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 53 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate By the star when it falls, your comrade errs not, nor is he deluded! Nor does he speak out of desire! It is nothing except an inspiration inspired! One mighty in power taught him, possessor of sound understanding, and he appeared, while he was in the highest horizon. Then he drew near and came down! And was two bows' length away, or nearer! Then He inspired His servant what He inspired.  The heart belies not what he saw! What, will you dispute with him on what he saw? And certainly he saw him another time, by the lote tree none may pass; near it is the Garden of Abode! When what covers covered the lote tree! The sight swerved not nor transgressed. Certainly he saw the greatest of the signs of his Lord. Have you considered Al Lat and Al Uzza and Manat the other third? What! For you the male and for Him the female? That is an unfair division! They are nothing but nam

By the elevated roof! By the swelling sea! Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will surely come to pass; - there is none to avert it! The day the heavens shall reel about, And the mountains shall move about, - Then woe that day to the deniers, Who plunge into discussion for a sport! The day they shall be thrust into the fire of Hell, - 'This is the fire, which you used to call a lie! Then is this magic, or do you not see? Burn in it! And be patient or do not be patient, it is the same to you. You are only being recompensed for what you used to do.' Indeed, the pious shall be in gardens and pleasure, enjoying what their Lord has given them; and their Lord saved them from the punishment of Hell. Eat and drink with good digestion, for what you used to do! Reclining on couches in rows;

But if they see a sign they turn away and say, 'Magic, continuous!' And they call it a lie and follow their lusts; but every matter is settled! And certainly there has come to them information with restraint in it - wisdom far-reaching; but warnings do not avail!  So turn away from them! The day when the caller shall call to an awkward thing. Humbly casting down their looks, they shall come forth from the graves, as though they were locusts scattered abroad! Hurrying forward to the caller! The disbelievers shall say, 'This is a difficult day!' The people of Noah denied before them, and they called our servant a liar; and said, 'A madman!' And he was rejected. So he called upon his Lord, 'Indeed, I am overcome, so help!' Then We opened the gates of heaven with water pouring down! And We

Quran 58

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 58 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Indeed, God has heard the speech of her who argues with you concerning her husband, and complains to God. And God hears the two of you conversing together; indeed, God is hearing, seeing. Those of you who put away their wives by likening their backs to the backs of their mothers, they are not their mothers: their mothers are only those who gave them birth; and indeed, they surely speak a wrong speech and a falsehood. But indeed, God is pardoning, forgiving. And those who put away their wives by likening their backs to the backs of their mothers then would recall their speech, - then the freeing of a slave before they touch each other; that is what you are admonished, and God is aware of what you do. But he who does not find: - then a fast for two months consecutively, before they touch each other; but he who is not able: - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That i

And those running on easily! And the distributors of affairs! Indeed, what you are threatened with is surely true! And indeed, the judgment will surely take place! By the heaven possessed of paths! Indeed, you are at variance in what you say! He is turned from it who is turned. Destroyed are the liars, who are heedless in a flood. They ask, 'When is the day of judgment?' The day when at the fire they shall be tried. - 'Taste your trial! This is what you wished to hasten on!' Indeed, the pious are in gardens and springs, taking what their Lord brings them. Indeed, they were before that good-doers. They used to sleep but little of the night; and at the dawn they asked forgiveness. And in their wealth was what was due to him who asked, and him who was kept back from asking. And in the earth are sign

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
