| 15:1 | | AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Book, the Clear Koran. |
| 15:2 | | It could be that those who disbelieve will wish that they were Muslims. |
| 15:3 | | Let them eat and enjoy; and let their hopes deceive them, soon they shall know. |
| 15:4 | | We never destroyed a village whose term had not already been decreed. |
| 15:5 | | No nation can outstrip its term, nor do they put it back. |
| 15:6 | | They say: 'You to whom the Remembrance is sent down, you are indeed mad. |
| 15:7 | | Why do you not bring down the angels, if what you say is true. ' |
| 15:8 | | We do not send angels except with the truth. Then they shall have no respite. |
| 15:9 | | It is We who sent down the Koran, and We watch over it. |
| 15:10 | | We have sent forth before you Messengers among the factions of the ancients. |
| 15:11 | | But no Messenger came to them except he was mocked. |
| 15:12 | | So We make it enter the hearts of the sinners. |
| 15:13 | | They do not believe in it even though the practice of the ancients has already gone. |
| 15:14 | | If We opened a gate in the heaven and they kept ascending through it, |
| 15:15 | | still they would say: 'Our eyes were dazzled; truly, we must have been a bewitched people. ' |
| 15:16 | | We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders, |
| 15:17 | | and guarded them from every stoned satan. |
| 15:18 | | Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a visible flame. |
| 15:19 | | We have spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains. Everything We have caused to grow therein is justly weighed; |
| 15:20 | | and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide. |
| 15:21 | | And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasuries, and We do not send it down except in a known measure. |
| 15:22 | | We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers. |
| 15:23 | | And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the Inheritor. |
| 15:24 | | We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards, |
| 15:25 | | and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing. |
| 15:26 | | We created mankind from clay, molded from mud, |
| 15:27 | | and before him We created the jinn from smokeless fire. |
| 15:28 | | When your Lord said to the angels: 'See, I am creating a mortal from clay of molded mud. |
| 15:29 | | When I have shaped him and ran My created soul in him fall down prostrating towards him'. |
| 15:30 | | All the angels prostrated themselves, |
| 15:31 | | except iblis (father of the jinn) who refused to be one of those who prostrated themselves. |
| 15:32 | | He said: 'iblis, what is the matter with you, that you do you not prostrate yourself? ' |
| 15:33 | | He replied: 'I will not prostrate to a mortal You have created of clay, from molded mud. ' |
| 15:34 | | (Allah) said: 'Begone, you are accursed! |
| 15:35 | | A curse shall be on you till the Day of Recompense. ' |
| 15:36 | | He said: 'My Lord, reprieve me till the Day they are raised. ' |
| 15:37 | | He answered: 'You are among those reprieved |
| 15:38 | | till the appointed time. |
| 15:39 | | (satan) said: 'My Lord, for Your perverting me, I shall make (matters) in the earth seem most fair to them and I shall pervert all, |
| 15:40 | | except the devoted amongst Your worshippers. |
| 15:41 | | He (Allah) said: 'This is for Me the Right Path |
| 15:42 | | over My worshipers you have no authority, except the perverse that follow you. |
| 15:43 | | Gehenna (Hell) will be the promise for all of them. |
| 15:44 | | It has seven gates, and through each gate a portion of them belong. |
| 15:45 | | But the cautious shall live amongst gardens and fountains: |
| 15:46 | | 'In peace and security, enter them! ' |
| 15:47 | | We shall remove all rancor from their hearts, and as brethren they shall recline on couches face to face. |
| 15:48 | | There, no fatigue shall smite them, nor shall they ever be driven from it. ' |
| 15:49 | | Tell My worshipers that I am the Forgiving, the Most Merciful, |
| 15:50 | | and that My punishment is the painful chastisement. |
| 15:51 | | Tell them of Abraham's guests. |
| 15:52 | | They entered to him and said: 'Peace, ' but he replied: 'We are afraid of you. ' |
| 15:53 | | 'Do not be afraid, ' they answered. 'We come to give you glad tidings of a knowledgeable child. ' |
| 15:54 | | He said: 'What is this, do you bring me glad tidings even though I am old? ' Of what do you give me glad tidings? ' |
| 15:55 | | They replied: 'In truth we have given you glad tidings, do not be one of those who despair. ' |
| 15:56 | | He replied: 'And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, except those that are astray? |
| 15:57 | | He asked: 'Messengers, what is your errand? ' |
| 15:58 | | They replied: 'We are sent to sinful nation. |
| 15:59 | | Except Lot's family, of whom we shall save all, |
| 15:60 | | but his wife. We decreed that she should be amongst those who remain behind. |
| 15:61 | | And when the envoys came to the family of Lot, |
| 15:62 | | he said to them: 'I do not know you. ' |
| 15:63 | | 'No, ' they replied: 'We bring you (news) of that concerning which they were doubting. |
| 15:64 | | We bring you the truth, and indeed we are truthful. |
| 15:65 | | Depart with your family in a part of the night and walk behind them and let none of you turn round. Go to a place where you are commanded. ' |
| 15:66 | | And We made known to him this decree that the wrongdoers were to be utterly cut off in the morning. |
| 15:67 | | The people of the city came to him rejoicing. |
| 15:68 | | He said: 'These are my guests; do not shame me. |
| 15:69 | | Fear Allah and do not disgrace me. ' |
| 15:70 | | They replied: 'Have we not forbidden you (the people of) the worlds? ' |
| 15:71 | | He said: 'Here are my daughters; take them (in marriage), if you would be doing. ' |
| 15:72 | | By your life, they wandered blindly in their dazzlement. |
| 15:73 | | At sunrise a dreadful Shout seized them. |
| 15:74 | | We laid it (the city) upside down and rained stones of baked clay upon them. |
| 15:75 | | Surely, in that there are signs for those who contemplate. |
| 15:76 | | Indeed, it is on a way which still exists. |
| 15:77 | | Surely, in that there is a sign for those who believe. |
| 15:78 | | The dwellers of the Thicket were harmdoers. |
| 15:79 | | On them, too, We took vengeance, and they are both on a clear roadway. |
| 15:80 | | And the dwellers of Al Hijr also belied the Messengers. |
| 15:81 | | We brought them signs, but they turned away. |
| 15:82 | | They hewed their dwellings out of the mountains in safety. |
| 15:83 | | But the Shout seized them in the morning, |
| 15:84 | | and that which they had earned did not help them. |
| 15:85 | | We did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them except in truth. The Hour is sure to come, therefore, forgive them with a graciouspardon. |
| 15:86 | | Your Lord is the Creator, the Knower. |
| 15:87 | | We have given you the seven dual (verses, Al Fatihah) and the Mighty Holy Reading (Koran). |
| 15:88 | | Do not stretch your eyes to that We have given pairs of them to enjoy, nor sorrow for them, and lower your wing to the believers. |
| 15:89 | | And say: 'I am the plain warner. ' |
| 15:90 | | So We sent it down to the partitioners, |
| 15:91 | | who have broken the Koran into parts, |
| 15:92 | | so by your Lord, We will question them all |
| 15:93 | | about what they did. |
| 15:94 | | Proclaim then, what you are commanded and turn away from the unbelievers. |
| 15:95 | | We suffice you against those who mock, |
| 15:96 | | and those who set up other gods with Allah, indeed, they will soon know. |
| 15:97 | | Indeed, We know your chest is straitened by that they say. |
| 15:98 | | Exalt with the praise of your Lord and be one of those who prostrate. |
| 15:99 | | Worship your Lord till the certainty (death) comes to you. |
