ALLAH in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.1. Alif Lam Ra; This is a Book, whose verses are full of wisdom, then have been detailed from One Wise Aware.
2. That worship not but Allah. No doubt. I am to you a warner from Him and a bearer of glad-tidings.
3. And that. you ask forgiveness of your Lord then repent to Him. He will give you a good pulling until an
appointed term, and will cause to reach His grace to every man of grace, and if you turn your face, then I fear
for you the torment of a Great Day.
4. Towards Allah. is your return, and He is Potent over every thing.
5. Listen! They fold up their breasts that they may hide from Allah. Listen! When they cover their whole body with
their garments. Allah knows what they conceal and what they reveal. No doubt He is the Knower of all the
thoughts within the breast.
6. And there is none moving on this earth, the provision of that is not upon the generous responsibility of Allah,
and He knows its place of stay and the place of return. All is recorded in a clear explanatory Book.
7. And it is He who has created the heavens and earth in six days, and His Throne was on the water, that He
might try you, as to whose work of you is best. And if you say, 'undoubtedly' you shall be raised after death,'
then the infidels will surely say 'this is not but a magic manifest.'
8. And if We defer from them the torment for a counted period, then they would certainly say, 'what has detained
it?" Listen, 'the day when it will come to them, it shall not be averted from them, and the same torment which
they used to mock at shall encompass them.
9. And if We let man taste Our any mercy, then take it away from him, surely he is despairing, ungrateful.
10. And if We let him taste favour after the hardship that has reached to him, then he will surely say, the evils
have gone from me.' No doubt, he is joyous, boastful.
11. But those who remained patient and did good deeds: for them is forgiveness and a great reward.
12. Then will you leave some of what is being revealed to you and straiten your breast therewith. Because they
say, 'why a treasure has not been sent down with him or any angel would have come with him? You are a
warner. And Allah is Guardian over every thing.
13. Do they say this; 'He has fabricated it?' Say you, 'Bring then ten verses the like of it. And call all those whom
you can besides Allah, if you are truthful.'
14. Then O Muslim! If they do not respond to you' then know that it has been sent down with Allah's Knowledge
and that there is no true deity save Allah, Will you then now submit?
15. Whoever desires the life of the world and its adornment, We will give their full fruit in it and will not lessen
anything therein.
16. These are they for whom there is nothing in the Hereafter but Fire. And what ever they used to do there, is
destroyed and all their works became void.
17. Is he then (like him) who is upon a bright proof from his Lord and there comes a witness on him from Allah
and before it was the Book of Moses, a guide and mercy? Those believe therein, and whosoever of all parties
disbelieves in it, then fire is his promised place. Then O Listener! Be not you in any doubt about it. No doubt,
that is the truth from your Lord, but most people believe not.
18. And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah. They shall be presented before their Lord, and
the witnesses will say, 'these are they who forged lie against their Lord. Behold; curse of Allah is upon the
unjust.
19. Those who hinder from the path of Allah, and desire crookedness in it; and they are they who deny the
Hereafter.
20. They are unable to fatigue in the earth, nor besides Allah they have any helper. They will face torment over
torment. They could neither hear nor see.

them.
22. Willing or not willing, it is they who are the greatest losers in the Hereafter.
23. No doubt those who believed, and did good deeds and turned humbly towards their Lord, they are the men of
Heaven, therein they shall abide.
24. The condition of both parties is like one the blind and deaf and the other seeing and hearing is the case of the
two alike? Do you then not take heed?

26. That worships none save Allah. Verily, I fear for you the torment of a painful day.
27. Then the chiefs of the unbelievers of his people spoke, 'We see you a man like us, and we see not that any one
who has followed you but the meanest of us inadvertently, and we do not find in you any superiority over us;
but rather we think you a liar.
28. He said, 'O my people! tell me, if I am on a clear proof from my Lord, and He has bestowed upon me from
Himself a great mercy, then you remained blind from it. Shall we stick it to your neck while you are averse to
it.'
29. 'And O people! I ask no wealth on it from you. My reward is only with Allah and I am not to drive away
Muslims. No doubt, they are to meet their Lord, but I find you wholly ignorant people.
30. 'And O people! Who will save me from Allah, if I will drive away them. Do you then not take heed?
31. 'And I say not to you, 'I have treasures of Allah with me, and nor I get the unseen known myself and nor I say
this, 'I am an angel, and nor I say those whom your eyes despise, 'Allah will never bestow any good to them.'
Allah knows well what ever is in their hearts. If I do so, then surely I am of the unjust.
32. They said, 'O Nuh, you have disputed with us, and disputed much, then bring that which for you promise us, if
you are truthful.

necessarily be drowned.
38. And Nuh builds the ark, and whenever the chief of his people passed by him, they laughed at him. He said. 'if
you laugh at us, then we shall laugh at you at one time as you laugh.
39. Now then you shall know to whom comes the torment that may disgrace him' and comes down the torment
that may be lasting.
40. Until, when Our Command came, and the Oven boiled, We said, 'embark in the ark a pair male and female of
every kind and the members of your family except those against whom the word has already gone forth, and
the rest of the Muslims.' And Muslims were not with him but a few.

assuredly Forgiving, Merciful.

protector from the torment of Allah but for him on whom He has mercy and the wave came in between the
two, so he was among the drowned.
44. And it was commanded. 'O earth Swallow your water. And O heaven; withhold And water was dried and the
affair was accomplished, and the ark settled on mountain Judi' and it was said, away be the people unjust.'

true, and You are the Greatest of rulers.
46. He said, 'O Nuh; he is not of your family, No doubt, his work is not righteous, ask not of Me that of which you
have no knowledge. I admonish you not to become ignorant.
47. Submitted he 'O my Lord I beg Your refuge from asking You that of which I have no knowledge. And if you
forgive me not and have not mercy on me, then I shall be loser.
48. It was said. 'O Nuh; get down from the ark with peace from Us and with blessings on you and on some parties
with you. And there are some parties whom We shall allow to enjoy in the world, then a painful torment will
reach them.

of your saying, nor are we going to believe your words.

Himself, then who will save me against Him, if I disobey Him; then you will increase me nothing save loss.

not be falsified.
