Quran 44

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 44 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Ha.Mim. By the clear Book! Indeed, We have sent it down in a blessed night; - indeed, We are warning - therein is decided every wise affair, an order from Us. Indeed, We are sending - a mercy from your Lord; indeed He is the Hearing, the Knowing: Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you are sure. There is no god but He, He gives life and He gives death - your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.  Nay, they are in doubt, playing! But watch for a day when the heaven shall bring manifest smoke to cover the people - this is a painful punishment! 'Our Lord! Remove from us the punishment; indeed, We are believers.' How can they have the reminder, when verily, they have had a clear messenger, then they turned away from him and said, 'One taught! A mad man!' Indeed, We will remove the punishment a little, indeed, you return! The day

Quran 47

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 47 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Those who disbelieve and turn from God's way, He will send their works astray. And those who believe and do righteous deeds and believe in what is revealed to Mohammed, - and it is the truth from their Lord, - He will cover for them their offences and set right their minds. That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood, and those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus God strikes their similitudes for mankind. And when you meet those who disbelieve - then striking off heads until when you have massacred them, then bind fast the bonds! Then either a favour afterwards or ransom until the war lays down its burdens. That! - And if God please surely He would conquer them - but to try some of you with others. And those who are slain in the way of God, He will not send their works astray; He will guide them and set right their minds; and will make them

Indeed, in the heavens and the earth surely are signs for the believers; and in your creation and what He spread abroad of the beasts, are signs to a people who are sure; and in the alternation of the night and the day, and what God sends down from the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its death, and in the veering of the winds are signs for a people who have sense. Those are the signs of God We recite them to you in truth; and in what story after God and His signs will they believe? Woe to every sinful liar who hears God's signs recited to him, then persists in pride as though he has not heard them - so give him the glad tidings of grievous punishment - and when he knows anything of Our signs, he takes it for a jest! Those, - for them is shameful punishment, behind them is He

That God may forgive you of your sin that which is past and that which is to come, and may fulfil His favour upon you, and guide you in a straight way, and that God may help you with a mighty help. It is He who sent down the tranquillity into the hearts of the believers that they might add faith to their faith; - and God's are the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and God is knowing, wise - to make the believers, men and women, enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein; and to cover for them their offences; that is in God's sight a great success; And to punish the hypocrites, men and women, who think evil thoughts of God; upon them is a turn of evil fortune, and God's wrath is upon them and He has cursed them, and has prepared  for them Hell, and evil is the destination. God's are the

Those are the signs of the Book, and that which is sent down to you from your Lord is the truth; but most of mankind do not believe. It is God who raised up the heavens without columns that you see; then He made for the throne, and subjected the sun and the moon; each one runs on to an appointed term; He governs the affair, He details the signs; - perhaps you will be sure of the meeting with your Lord. And it is He who stretched out the earth and placed in it firm mountains and rivers, and of every fruit He has placed in it two kinds. He covers the night with the day; - indeed, in that surely are signs for a people who reflect. And in the earth are neighbouring tracts, and gardens of grapes and corn and palms growing together and not growing together; they are watered with one water, and We make some of them to excel others in fruit; indeed, in that su

Quran 15

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 15 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Alif.Lam.Ra. Those are the signs of the Book and of a perspicuous Quran. Many a time will those who disbelieve wish they had surrendered. Leave them to eat and enjoy and let hope beguile them, for they will soon know! And We did not destroy any city but there was a known decree for it. No nation can hasten on its term, nor delay it. And they say, 'O you upon whom the reminder has been sent down! Indeed, you are surely possessed. Why do you not bring us the angels if you are of the truthful?' We do not send down the angels except with the truth, and then they would not be respited. Indeed, We have sent down the reminder, and indeed, We surely are its guardians.  And certainly We sent before you, among the sects of the former peoples. But there never came a messenger to them but they mocked him. Thus do We make it enter into the hearts of the sinners. They will n

The revelation of the Book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds. Or do they say, 'He has forged it?' Nay! It is the truth from your Lord, that you may warn a people, to whom no warner has come before you, perhaps they may be guided. God it is who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days; then He made for the throne! You have no patron beside Him and no intercessor; will you not then mind? He governs the affair from the heaven to the earth; then it ascends to Him in a day, the measure of which is a thousand years of what you number. That is He who knows the unseen and the visible; the Mighty, the Compassionate, who made good everything He has created, and He began the creation of man from clay; then He made his progeny from an extract of despicable water; then He fashioned him and breathed into him of

Click on this text to listen to the audio This is Quran chapter 23 In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate Indeed, prosperous are the believers who are humble in their prayers,  And who turn away from vain talk,  And who are active in almsgiving.  And who guard their private parts - except from their wives or what their right hands possess for then indeed, they are not to be blamed; - but whoever craves beyond that, then those are the transgressors -  And who observe their trusts and their covenants, And who guard their prayers: Those are the heirs who shall inherit Paradise; they shall dwell therein. And indeed, We created man from an extract of clay; then We placed him as a drop in a safe lodging; then We created the drop a clot, then We created the clot a lump, then We created the lump bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, then We produced it another creation; So blessed is God, the best of creators! Then indeed, after that you surely die; then indeed, on the day

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
