This chapter is from Mecca, and the whole chapter has a total of 112 verses. Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful A pair of people's reckoning is approaching, but they are negligent and don't think about it. 2 Whenever a new remembrance comes down to them from their Lord, they listen to it and laugh at it. 3 Their minds are dimmed, and the unrighteous ones talk in secret, saying, "This is just a mortal like you, and you know it's magic and obey him?" 4 He said, "My Lord knows what is said in heaven and on earth, and indeed he is all-understanding and all-knowing."

5 But they said, "Is this a fool's dream? Or is he making up a lie? Or is he a poet? Teach him to show us a sign like the messengers of old." 6 None of the cities I destroyed before them believed in the signs.Now, will they believe the signs? 7 Before you, I sent only many men who were revealed; if you don't know, ask those who are well-versed in remembrance. 8. I did not make them into bodies that do not eat, and they are not immortal. 9 Afterwards We have fulfilled our promise to them, thus saving them and those whom I will, and destroying those who go beyond. 10 I have indeed revealed to you a book, in which there are your remembrances, don't you understand?

11. I have destroyed many unrighteous villages, and afterward I have created other peoples. 12. When they felt my torture, they fled suddenly. 13 "Don't run away, go back and enjoy your luxurious life, and your house, so that you will be judged in the future." 14 They said, "Alas for us! We are indeed unrighteous." 15 That word will always cry for them, until I make them stubble and ashes. 16 I have never created the world with a playful attitude; 17 If I want to have fun, I must do it with what I have here. I don't like to play. 18 I hurl falsity with truth, and I smash its head, and falsity perishes instantly.Woe to you!Because of your false descriptions of Allah.

19 All that is in heaven and earth is his; all that is with him worships him devoutly, neither arrogant nor weary. 20 Day and night they exalted him unrelentingly. 21. Do they hold for gods many things in the earth, and those gods can raise the dead? 22 In addition to Allah, if there are many gods in the sky and the earth, then the earth must be destroyed.Praise be to Allah - the Lord of the Throne - beyond their description. 23 His own deeds are not subject to trial, and they are all subject to trial. 24. Do they serve many gods besides Allah?Say, "Bring ye the evidence, that this is a memorial to my fellow-men, and also to those who came before me, but most of them did not know the truth and turned their backs on it."

25. All the messengers I sent before you were inspired by me, and there is no one worthy of worship except me.So you should worship me. 26. They said: "The Most Merciful Lord has (God) as her daughter." Praise be to Allah, who is above all things.Otherwise, they are favored slaves, 27. They dare not open their mouths before him, they only obey his orders; 28 He knows those who are before them and those who are behind; they intercede only for those whom he pleases.They fear him in awe. 29. Whoever of them says, "I am a god other than Allah," I will reward him with Hell, and thus I will reward all the unrighteous.

30 Don't the unbelievers know?The heaven and the earth were originally closed, but I created the heaven and the earth, and I created all living things with water.Don't they believe it? Trinity I made the mountains on the earth, lest it be disturbed and they were not disturbed; and I made many broad roads among the mountains, that they might reach their goal. 32 I made the sky a vault of safety, and they ignored the signs in it. Three Three He is the creator of day and night, the sun and the moon, and the celestial bodies move in a single orbit. Three or four, anyone before you, I didn't destined to live forever, if you die, can they live forever?

35. All flesh shall taste death.I tested you with misfortune and fortune, and you were called only to Me. 36 When unbelievers see you, they make you a laughing stock. (They said:) "Is this the man who slandered your gods?" They did not believe in the remembrance of the Most Merciful Lord. Sanqi People are born impatient, I will show you my signs, so you don't have to rush me. 38 They said, "When will this warning be fulfilled? If you are honest men." 39. If the disbelievers, knowing that at that time they cannot defend their face and back against the flames, nor can they receive aid...  

40 But the resurrection will come suddenly, and they will be terrified, and they will not be able to resist it, nor be slowed down. 41 Many messengers have been fooled before you, and the punishment for fooling has come on the fools. 42. Say, "Who will guard you day and night from the judgment of the Most Merciful?" Otherwise, they forsake the remembrance of their Lord. 43 Have they many gods besides me to protect them?The gods they worship cannot defend themselves, and they have no protection against me (punishment). 44. Otherwise, I have made such people and their ancestors happy until their days are prolonged.Don't they know I'm here to shrink their borders?Are they the victors?

45 You say, "I warn you only by revelation." When the deaf are warned, they cannot hear the call. 46. ​​If the punishment of your Lord had touched them at all, they would have said, "Woe to us!

50 This is the auspicious remembrance that I sent down, do you deny it? May 1st I did reward Abraham with integrity before, and I knew him well. On May 2, he said to his father and clan: "What are these statues to which you are attached?" 53 They said, "We find that our ancestors worshiped them." May 4th he said: "You and your ancestors have indeed fallen into a manifest error." 55 They said, "Are you talking to us seriously? Or are you joking with us?" 56 He said, "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of heaven and earth, the Maker of heaven and earth, of which I am a witness.

FIVE SEVENTH - I swear by Allah, after you turn and leave, I will try to destroy your idols. " 58 He smashed the idols, leaving only the largest one, that they might turn back and ask him. 59 They said, "Who has done this to our gods? He is unrighteous indeed." 60 They said, "We heard a young man named Ibrahim slandering them." 61 They said, "Bring him before the people, that they may be a witness." 62 They said, "O Ibrahim, did you do this to our god?" 63 He said, "No, this biggest idol did it. If they can talk, just ask them." On June 4th they criticized each other.Then he said, "Surely you (worship idols) are unrighteous." 65 Then, in the reverse direction, (they said), "You already know that these cannot speak." 66 He said: "Are you worshiping, apart from Allah, that which is no harm to you? 67 Bah, you do not worship Allah, but you worship these things, don't you understand? " 68 They said, "Burn him! Help your gods! If you do anything." 69 I said, "Fire! Be cool and peaceful to Ibrahim!" Seventy They tried to murder him, but I made them the worst losers. July 1 I saved him and Root, and moved them to the place where I bless the world. 72. I rewarded him with Yishag, and I gave him more Yaergubai, and I made them all good people. 73. I take them as the teachers of the world, and they guide the people according to my command.I enlighten them: they should try their best to do good deeds, observe the prayers, and pay the zakat.They just adore me. 74 I gave Wisdom and learning to Root, and I delivered him from a city of filth, whose inhabitants are indeed dissolute and wicked. 75 I have brought him into my favor, and he is a good man indeed. 76 (You shall state) Noah, he called me before, so I answered him, and delivered him and his followers from distress. 77 And I have set him free from the people who deny My signs, and indeed they are a wicked people, so I have caused them all to be drowned. 78 (You should state) Dawud and Sulaiman, when the flocks of the people came out to eat the crops by night, they judged for the crops, and I am witness to their judgments. 79. I made Suleiman know how to judge.Each I have bestowed wisdom and learning.I made the mountains and the birds to praise me along with Dawude.I've done that before. 80 I taught him to make armor for you to protect you and save you from the wounds of war. Are you grateful? August 1. I subdued the wind for Suleiman, and it was blown by his order to the place where I blessed, and I know all things. 82 I subdued some of the demons for him. They dived for him and did other work. I supervised them. 83 (You should narrate) Ayyub, when he appealed to his Lord (saying): "Surely the disease has hurt me, and you are the most merciful." 84. And I granted his request, relieved him of his affliction, and rewarded him with his family and his like, because of the favor from me and the memory of those who worshiped me. Eighty-five (You should describe) Ismaili, Idris, and Le Keefler are all persevering. 86. We have brought them into My favor, and they are good indeed. Eighty-seven (you should describe) Zuo Nong, at that time he had left aggrieved, he guessed that I would not restrain him, he appealed (said) in the darkness: "Besides you, there is no one worthy of worship, I praise you above all things, and I am unrighteous.” 88 And I answered him, and delivered him from distress; thus I deliver the believer from distress. 89 (You should narrate) Zakariya, when he appealed to his Lord (saying): "My Lord, please do not leave me alone, you are the best successor." 90 I promised him, and I rewarded him with John and corrected his wife.They scramble to do good, they appeal to me for hope and fear, they are obedient to me. 91. (You shall tell) That chaste woman into whom I breathed my spirit, I made her and her son a sign to the world. 92. This nation of yours is indeed a unified nation. I am your Lord, so you should worship me. 93 They are divided into sects, and each sect shall belong to me. 94 Whoever believes and does good deeds, his deeds will never be denied, and I have indeed recorded his deeds. 95 It is impossible for the town I destroyed to return to the world. Ninety-six Until Yazhuzhe and Mazhuzhe were released, they traveled from various high places to all directions. 97. As the true promise draws near, the unbelievers suddenly stare (say): "Alas for us! We were careless about this day. Otherwise we would be unrighteous." 98 You and those whom you worship other than Allah are fuel for Hell, and you will enter Hell. Ninety-nine If these were gods, they would not enter Hell, but they would all dwell in it forever. 100 In it they will sigh often, in it they will know nothing. 101 Those who have received My best treatment shall be far from Hell, 102 Not hearing the slightest sound of it, they will dwell forever in the pleasures they love, 103 Do not grieve them the greatest terror.The angels will welcome them (saying), "This is the day you were promised." 104 On that day, I rolled up the sky just like scrolls rolled up paintings and calligraphy.As in the beginning I created all things, how will I restore them.This is what I voluntarily promised, and I will carry it out. 105 After the exhortation, I have indeed written in the Zapur: The earth shall be inherited by my good servant. 106 For the people who worship the Lord, there is ample benefit in this scripture. 107 I send you only to show mercy to people all over the world. 108 You said, "I have only received a revelation that there is only one God you have to worship. Are you surrendering?" 109 And if they go astray, say, "I tell you justly, I do not know whether the (punishment) of which you are warned is near, or is it far away? 110 He indeed knows what is spoken publicly, and what is hidden from you. One by one I don't know, maybe this is a test and temporary enjoyment for you. " 112 He said: "My Lord, judge justly. Our Lord is the Most Merciful, and he is appealed to by the words with which you describe him."
