This chapter is from Mecca, and the whole chapter has a total of 110 verses. Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful 1 All praises, all to God!He sent down to His servants the scriptures of integrity, and did not create any deviation in them, 2. That he might warn the world that Allah will send severe punishments; and that the believers who do good deeds should expect a good reward, Three and dwell in it forever; 4 And warn those who falsely say "God adopts children". 5 Neither they nor their ancestors had any knowledge of this sentence, and they uttered this absurd sentence casually.

VI If they do not believe the precept, after their departure you may kill yourself for grief. 7 Verily I have made all the things of the earth an ornament of the earth, that I may test men to see whose work is the most beautiful. 8 I will destroy everything that is on the earth, and I will make it desolate. IX Do you think the owner of the cave and the inscription is a wonder in my signs? 10 At that time, some young men took refuge in the cave, and they said, "Our Lord, please give us your favor, and please make our business perfectly right." One by one I made them inaudible for several years in the cave.

12. Afterwards I revived them, that I might know which of the two parties was more able to count the time they stayed. 13 I tell you their story honestly, they were young men who believed in their Lord, and I added to them righteousness. 14 I have made their hearts patient.At that time, they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of heaven and earth, and we will never pray to any god except him, otherwise, we will surely speak unreasonable words. 15 Why do our kindred, who worship many other gods besides him, give no proof that those gods are worthy of worship?Who is more righteous than those who spread rumors in the name of Allah? "

16 When you forsake them and their gods other than Allah, take refuge in caves, and your Lord will do you good - and it will be beneficial for your cause. 17 You see, when the sun rises, it shoots obliquely from the right side of their cave;This is a sign of Allah, whoever Allah guides, he who follows the right way; for whom Allah leads astray, you must not find any friend as a guide. 18 You thought they were awake, but they were sound asleep. I turned them side to side, and their dog lay on the hole with its legs outstretched.If you see them, you will turn away in terror, full of terror.

19 We so awakened them that they asked each other, and one of them said, "How long have you stayed?" They said, "We stayed a day, or less." They said, "Your Lord knows you best for the duration of your stay. Send one of yourselves to the city with your silver coins, and see whose food is the cleanest, and tell him to buy some food for you, and tell him to be very careful, and let no one know. you. 20 If the people of the city take you, will stone you, or force you to follow their religion, then you will never succeed. " 21. Thus We have made others see them, that they may know that the promise of Allah is true, and that the time of the Resurrection is beyond doubt.When they argued about it, they said, "Build a wall around them—their Lord knows them best!" The man who presided over the matter said, "We will build a mosque around them." .”

22. Someone will say, "They are three, and the fourth is their dog." Someone will say, "They are five, and the sixth is their dog." This is due to speculation.Others will say, "They are seven, and the eighth is their dog." Say, "My Lord knows their number best, and besides, only a few know. Of them nothing but Superficial debate, don't ask anyone about them." 23. Don't say for something, "I will definitely do that thing tomorrow." 24 Unless at the same time say, "If Allah wills." If you forget, remember your Lord, and say, "My Lord may show me a nearer path than this."

25. They stayed in the cave for three hundred years, and (according to the lunar calendar) they added nine years. 26. Allah knows best how long they stay.Only he knows the mystery of heaven and earth.His vision is amazing!His hearing is so good!They have no helper but Allah, and Allah does not allow anyone to participate in His judgment. 27. You should read the scriptures that your Lord has revealed to you. His words cannot be changed by anyone.You must never discover a hideout. 28 Be patient with those who pray to their Lord in the morning and in the evening to please him, and do not despise them for the pomp of this world's life. I cause some hearts to neglect My teaching, and Follow your own desires.Their behavior is excessive, and you should not obey them.

29 You say, "The truth is revealed from your Lord. Whoever wants to believe, let him believe, and whoever does not want to believe, let him not believe." I have prepared a blazing fire for the unrighteous. The smoke of the fire will envelop them.If they call for help [for thirst], quench their thirst with a water that burns faces like pitch, what a bad drink!That home is really bad! 30 Those who believe and do good, I will not make their good deeds in vain, Trinity These shall enjoy the everlasting Paradise, where the rivers flow, where they wear gold bracelets and green robes of silk and brocade, and lie on their beds.The reward is so beautiful!That destination is so beautiful!

32 You use the situation of two people to make an analogy for them.For one of them I made two vineyards, surrounded by a grove of date palms, and cultivated the space between the two gardens. 33 Both gardens produce fruit without any shortage, and a river is dug between the two gardens. 34 He was rich in wealth, so he said to his friends in a boastful manner: "I have more wealth than you, and people are better than you." 35 He went proudly into his garden and said, "I think this garden will never go to waste, Thirty-six I don't think the resurrection time will come.Even if I were called to the Lord, I could find a better home than this garden. "

37 His friend said to him in a rebuttal manner: "Don't you believe in the Creator? He created you first with clay, then with semen, and then made you a complete man. 38 But (I said), Allah is my Lord, and I do not match my Lord with anything. 39. Why don't you say, when you go into your garden, 'Allah willed this thing.I am powerless except Allah! ’ If you think my wealth and heirs are inferior to yours, 40 Then perhaps my Lord will reward me with something better than your garden, and send a thunderbolt on your garden, so that (it) becomes barren ground; 41 Or once the water in the garden dries up, you cannot seek. "

42. All his property was destroyed.The trellises in the garden had fallen to the ground, and he turned his palms over and over again, bemoaning the expense of building the garden, and said, "I wish I had not assigned anything to my lord." 43. He cannot help himself without the help of a crowd except Allah. 44 Here, help is given to Allah who is true, who rewards and punishes. 45 You can draw an analogy for them: life in this world is like I send rain from the clouds, and the plants grow vigorously after receiving the rain, and then fall off and blow away with the wind.Allah is Almighty over all things. 46 Possessions and heirs are the adornments of this world; and good works that endure are better rewarded and more hopeful in the sight of your Lord. 47 On that day I will make the mountains disappear, and you will see the earth become bare.I will gather them and leave no one behind. 48 They will be paraded by your Lord in rows.You have indeed come to Me, just as when I first created you.Otherwise, you have said that I would never fix a date for you. 49. The books of sins will be revealed, so you will see the records sinners fear.They say, "Ah! What's the matter with this book, it doesn't leave out any crimes, big or small, everything is recorded." They will find that everything they do is recorded in the book.Your Lord wrongs no one. 50 At that time I said to all the gods, "You should bow your head to Adam." They all bowed their heads except Iblus.He was an elf, so he disobeyed the orders of his lord.He and his descendants are your enemies, and do you make them your protectors instead of me?How evil is the perversion of the unjust! May 1st We did not make them see the creation of heaven and earth, nor their own creation, nor did I make helpers the misleaders. 52 On that day Allah will say: "Call those whom you call my associates." They will call those colleagues, but they will not answer.I will bring them down together. 53 Criminals will see Hell, and they will fall into it, with nowhere to escape. May Fourth Here, I have indeed expounded various metaphors for everyone, and people are the ones who argue the most. 55. When the Way came to the people, they disbelieved and did not ask their Lord for forgiveness, but it was only because they waited (Allah will) for the way of the ancients to appear to them, or saw the punishment coming to them. 56. We send Messenger only with good news and warnings, but disbelievers argue with lies, trying to refute the truth.They make a mockery of MY signs and warnings to them. 57 They taught them the sign of the Lord, but they despised it, and forgot their former sins; who was more unrighteous than them?We have indeed put a film on their hearts, lest they understand the scriptures and make a deafening noise in their ears.If you call them on the right way, then they will never follow the right way. 58 Surely your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.If he punished them for their sins, he would hasten the punishment for them, but they had a time, to which they could never obtain a refuge. 59. When the inhabitants of those towns have done much wrong, I destroy them, and I set a time for their destruction. 60 At that time Musa said to his boy servant: "I will not stop until I reach the point where the two seas meet, or continue traveling for some years." On June 1, when they reached the junction of the two seas, they forgot their fish, and the fish drifted away into the sea. 62. As they passed by, he said to his boy, "Bring breakfast! We are tired indeed." 63 He said, "Tell me, when we came to rest under that rock, (what on earth am I?) I forgot the fish indeed - it was only because of the devil that I forgot to tell you ,—that fish has gone into the sea, that's a strange thing!" June 4 He said: "This is exactly what we are looking for." They turned and went back according to the footsteps when they came. 65 They found one of my servants, to whom I had bestowed favors from me, and to whom I had imparted knowledge that came from me. 66 Musa said to him, "I want to follow you, and I hope you will teach me what you have learned. Will you?" 67 He said, "You can't be patient with me. 68 How can you endure something that you do not fully understand? " 69 Musa said, "If Allah wills, you will find that I am patient and will not disobey any of your commands." 70 He said: "If you follow me, then (when things happen) don't ask me why, I will explain it to you myself." On July 1 they went together, and when it was time to board the boat, he dug a hole in the boat, and Musa said, "Did you dig a hole in the boat to drown the people in it? You did A paradox!" 72 He said, "Haven't I told you? You cannot be patient with me." 73 Musa said, "I forgot your command just now, please don't blame me, don't blame me for the things that have caused me great trouble!" 74 They walked together again, and when they met a child, he killed the child. Musa said, "How can you kill innocent people in vain? You have done a terrible thing!" 75 He said, "Haven't I told you? You cannot be patient with me." 76 Musa said, "Afterwards, if I ask you any more reasons, you can stop me from following you. You have finally done what you have done to me." 77 The two of them walked together again, and when they came to a city, they begged for food from the city residents, but they refused to entertain them.Later in the city they found a wall that was about to collapse, and he repaired it, Musa said, "If you will, you will be paid for the work." 78 He said, "I will say goodbye to you. I will tell you the reason for what you cannot bear. 79. As for the ship, it belonged to some poor people who worked in the sea. I made the ship defective because there was a king in front of them, who wanted all ships by force. 80. As for the child, whose parents were both believers, we are afraid that he might impose on his parents rebellion and unbelief, 81 Therefore we ask their lord to give them both a purer and more filial son. 82. As for the wall, it belonged to two orphans in the city; under the wall was their treasure.Their father was originally kind.Your Lord wants them to take out their treasures when they become adults. This is the grace of your Lord. I did not do this according to my own will.This is the reason for what you cannot bear. " 83 They asked about the story of Zul Qarnain, and you said: I will tell you a report about him. 84. Surely We have given him power in the earth, and I have given him the means to deal with all things. 85 He follows a path, 86 Until he reached the sunset, he felt that the sun was setting in the black mud abyss, and he found a kind of person beside the black mud abyss.I said, "O Zul Qarnaying! Either punish them or treat them kindly." 87 He said, "As for the unrighteous, I will punish him, and then his Lord will summon him and punish him severely. 88 As for the one who believes and does good deeds, he will enjoy the richest reward, and I will order him to do simple things. " 89 Then he followed another path, Nine Zero went to the sunrise, and he found that the sun was shining on a kind of people, and I didn't give them sun protection tools. 91 The facts are as they say.I know all he has. 92 Then he followed another path, 93 Until he reached between the two mountains, he found a kind of person in front of him who barely understood (his) language. 94 They said, "Zolqarnaying! Yaju and Mazhu are indeed making trouble in the local area. We pay tribute to you. Please build a barrier between us and them, okay?" 95 He said: "Excellent is that which my Lord enables me to enjoy. Support me with your strength, and I will build a barrier between you and them. Ninety-six Give me the iron bars. ’ When he had filled the gap between the two mountains, he said, ‘You pull the bellows. on the rampart." 97 They cannot climb, nor can they drill holes. 98 He said, "This is a favor from my Lord, and when the promise of my Lord comes, he will make the barrier level. The promise of my Lord is true." On that day, I will bring order to them.As soon as the horn sounded, I assembled them fully. 100 On that day I will set Hell before the disbelievers. 101 Their eyes are in the shadows, they cannot see My teachings, they cannot listen. 102. Do the unbelievers think that they can take My servants as protectors instead of Me?We have indeed prepared Hell as a guest house for the disbelievers. 103 You say, "Let me tell you about the worst offenders, okay? 104. They are the ones who are vain in this world and think themselves artful. " 105 Such do not believe in the signs of their Lord, nor that they shall meet him, so that their good works in this world are of no avail, and I set no weight for them on the Day of Resurrection. 106 Their reward is Hell, for they disbelieved and made a mockery of My Signs and Messengers. 107 Those who believe and do good deeds have Paradise as a guest house, 108 and live there forever, unwilling to move out. 109 You said, "If sea water were used as ink to record the words of my Lord, then the sea water would be exhausted, and the words of my Lord would not be exhausted, even if we replenished them with the same amount of sea water." 110 You said: "I am just a mortal like you, and the revelation I have is: You should worship only one Lord, so whoever wants to meet his Lord, let him do good deeds, and call him No one will worship like his Lord for anything."
