By the heaven full of paths

Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth)

He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse

Accursed be the conjecturers

Who are careless in an abyss

They ask: When is the Day of Judgment

(It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire

(And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten

Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings

Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good

They used to sleep but little of the night

And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness

And in their wealth the beggar and the outcast had due share

And in the earth are portents for those whose faith is sure

And (also) in yourselves. Can ye then not see

And in the heaven is your providence and that which ye are promised

And by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is the truth, even as (it is true) that ye speak

Hath the story of Abraham's honoured guests reached thee (O Muhammad)

When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me)

Then he went apart unto his housefolk so that they brought a fatted calf

And he set it before them, saying: Will ye not eat

Then he conceived a fear of them. They said: Fear not! and gave him tidings of (the birth of) a wise son

Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman

They said: Even so saith thy Lord. Lo! He is the Wise, the Knower
