¹⁰⁰ Whoso turns away from it, he will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection,

¹⁰¹ They abiding eternally therein; and evil is it for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load,

¹⁰² The day the Trumpet is blown. And We will assemble the lawbreakers, that day, white-eyed,¹

¹⁰³ Whispering among themselves: “You tarried only ten.”¹

¹⁰⁴ We best know what they will say, when their exemplars in the path¹ will say: “You tarried only a day.”

¹⁰⁵ And they ask thee about the mountains. Say thou: “My Lord will scatter them with a blast¹

¹⁰⁶ “And leave it¹ a level plain.”

¹⁰⁷ Thou wilt see therein neither deviation nor bend.¹

¹⁰⁸ That day will they follow the Caller having no deviation; and voices will be stilled¹ before the Almighty,² and thou wilt hear not save a murmur.³

¹⁰⁹ That day no intercession will avail save one whom the Almighty¹ has given leave and with whose word² He is pleased.

¹¹⁰ He knows what is before them¹ and what following them, and they do not encompass it² in knowledge.

¹¹¹ And faces will be humble¹ before the Living, the Eternal. And he will have failed who carries² injustice.

¹¹² And whoso does righteous deeds and is a believer:¹ he fears neither injustice nor deprivation.²

¹¹³ And thus have We sent it¹ down as an Arabic recitation² and expounded³ therein warnings,⁴ that they might be in prudent fear,⁵ or it cause in them remembrance.⁶

¹¹⁴ And exalted be God, the True¹ King! And hasten thou not² with the recitation³ before its revelation⁴ to thee be complete; and say thou: “My Lord: increase Thou me in knowledge.”

¹¹⁵ And We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot;¹ and We found not in him determination.²

¹¹⁶ And when We said to the angels: “Submit¹ to Adam,” then they submitted.² Not so² Iblīs; he refused.

¹¹⁷ Then We said: “O Adam: this is an enemy to thee and to thy wife. Then let him not turn you¹ out of the garden, that thou be wretched.

¹¹⁸ “It is for thee to be neither hungry nor naked therein,

¹¹⁹ “And that thou suffer neither thirst therein, nor the heat of the sun.”

¹²⁰ Then the satan¹ whispered to him,² saying: “O Adam: shall I direct thee to the Tree of Eternity and a dominion that decays not?”

¹²¹ And they¹ ate thereof, and their² shame³ became clear to them; and they⁴ began to draw over them of the leaves of the garden; and Adam opposed his Lord, so he erred.

¹²² Then his Lord chose him, and turned towards him, and guided.

¹²³ He said: “Get you¹ down from it² all together, an enemy to one another.³ And if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoso follows My guidance, he will neither go astray, nor will he be wretched.

¹²⁴ “But whoso turns away from My remembrance:¹ he will have a straitened life, and We will gather him blind on the Day of Resurrection.”

¹²⁵ He will say: “My Lord: why hast Thou raised¹ me blind, when I was seeing?”

¹²⁶ God¹ will say: “Thus Our proofs² came to thee, and thou didst forget³ them; so thus art thou this day forgotten.”

¹²⁷ And thus do We reward him who commits excess, and believes not in¹ the proofs² of his Lord; and the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.

¹²⁸ Does it not then guide them how many generations We destroyed before them in whose dwellings they walk?¹ In that are proofs² for possessors of intelligence.

¹²⁹ And were it not for a word that preceded from thy Lord and a stated term it¹ would have been requisite.²

¹³⁰ So be thou patient over what they say, and give thou glory¹ with the praise of thy Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting. And some periods of the night give thou glory;² and at the ends of the day,³ that thou mightest be satisfied.

¹³¹ And extend thou not thine eyes towards what We have granted some¹ among them to enjoy — the flower² of the life of this world — that We might subject them to means of denial³ therein; and the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.

¹³² And enjoin thou upon thy people the duty,¹ and be thou steadfast therein. We ask thee not for provision; We provide for thee. And the final outcome is for those of prudent fear.²

¹³³ And they say: “Oh, that he would but¹ bring us a proof² from his Lord!” Has there not come to them clear evidence of what is in the former scriptures?

¹³⁴ And had We destroyed them with a punishment before him,¹ they would have said: “Our Lord: oh, that Thou hadst but² sent to us a messenger, so we might have followed Thy proofs before we were humiliated and disgraced!”³

¹³⁵ Say thou: “All are waiting¹ — so wait; and you will come to know who are the companions of the even path, and who is guided.”
