Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an. Al-Hijr [1]

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims. Al-Hijr [2]

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know. Al-Hijr [3]

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree. Al-Hijr [4]

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter. Al-Hijr [5]

And they say, "O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad. Al-Hijr [6]

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?" Al-Hijr [7]

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved. Al-Hijr [8]

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian. Al-Hijr [9]

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples. Al-Hijr [10]

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him. Al-Hijr [11]

Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals. Al-Hijr [12]

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples. Al-Hijr [13]

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend, Al-Hijr [14]

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic." Al-Hijr [15]

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers. Al-Hijr [16]

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah] Al-Hijr [17]

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame. Al-Hijr [18]

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing. Al-Hijr [19]

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers. Al-Hijr [20]

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure. Al-Hijr [21]

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers. Al-Hijr [22]

And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor. Al-Hijr [23]

And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come]. Al-Hijr [24]

And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing. Al-Hijr [25]

And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud. Al-Hijr [26]

And the jinn We created before from scorching fire. Al-Hijr [27]

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud. Al-Hijr [28]

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration." Al-Hijr [29]

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely, Al-Hijr [30]

Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated. Al-Hijr [31]

[Allah] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?" Al-Hijr [32]

He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud." Al-Hijr [33]

[Allah] said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled. Al-Hijr [34]

And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense." Al-Hijr [35]

He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected." Al-Hijr [36]

[Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved Al-Hijr [37]

Until the Day of the time well-known." Al-Hijr [38]

[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all Al-Hijr [39]

Except, among them, Your chosen servants." Al-Hijr [40]

[Allah] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight. Al-Hijr [41]

Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators. Al-Hijr [42]

And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all. Al-Hijr [43]

It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated." Al-Hijr [44]

Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs. Al-Hijr [45]

[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]." Al-Hijr [46]

And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other. Al-Hijr [47]

No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed. Al-Hijr [48]

[O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful. Al-Hijr [49]

And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment. Al-Hijr [50]

And inform them about the guests of Abraham, Al-Hijr [51]

When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful of you." Al-Hijr [52]

[The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy." Al-Hijr [53]

He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?" Al-Hijr [54]

They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing." Al-Hijr [55]

He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?" Al-Hijr [56]

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?" Al-Hijr [57]

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals, Al-Hijr [58]

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all Al-Hijr [59]

Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind. Al-Hijr [60]

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot, Al-Hijr [61]

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown." Al-Hijr [62]

They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing, Al-Hijr [63]

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful. Al-Hijr [64]

So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded." Al-Hijr [65]

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning. Al-Hijr [66]

And the people of the city came rejoicing. Al-Hijr [67]

[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me. Al-Hijr [68]

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me." Al-Hijr [69]

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?" Al-Hijr [70]

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]." Al-Hijr [71]

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly. Al-Hijr [72]

So the shriek seized them at sunrise. Al-Hijr [73]

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay. Al-Hijr [74]

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern. Al-Hijr [75]

And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road. Al-Hijr [76]

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers. Al-Hijr [77]

And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers. Al-Hijr [78]

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway. Al-Hijr [79]

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers. Al-Hijr [80]

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away. Al-Hijr [81]

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure. Al-Hijr [82]

But the shriek seized them at early morning. Al-Hijr [83]

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn. Al-Hijr [84]

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness. Al-Hijr [85]

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator. Al-Hijr [86]

And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an. Al-Hijr [87]

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers Al-Hijr [88]

And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" - Al-Hijr [89]

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators Al-Hijr [90]

Who have made the Qur'an into portions. Al-Hijr [91]

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all Al-Hijr [92]

About what they used to do. Al-Hijr [93]

Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists. Al-Hijr [94]

Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers Al-Hijr [95]

Who make [equal] with Allah another deity. But they are going to know. Al-Hijr [96]

And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say. Al-Hijr [97]

So exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]. Al-Hijr [98]

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death). Al-Hijr [99]
