Alif. Lam. Mim. Sad

(It is) a Scripture that is revealed unto thee (Muhammad) - so let there be no heaviness in thy heart therefrom - that thou mayst warn thereby, and (it is) a Reminder unto believers

(Saying): Follow that which is sent down unto you from your Lord, and follow no protecting friends beside Him. Little do ye recollect

How many a township have We destroyed! As a raid by night, or while they slept at noon, Our terror came unto them

No plea had they, when Our terror came unto them, save that they said: Lo! We were wrong-doers

Then verily We shall question those unto whom (Our message) hath been sent, and verily We shall question the messengers

Then verily We shall narrate unto them (the event) with knowledge, for We were not absent (when it came to pass)

The weighing on that day is the true (weighing). As for those whose scale is heavy, they are the successful

And as for those whose scale is light: those are they who lose their souls because they used to wrong Our revelations

And We have given you (mankind) power in the earth, and appointed for you therein livelihoods. Little give ye thanks

And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who make prostration
