In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Nay, I swear by this city * 1
And thou art an indweller of this city * 2
And the begetter and that which he begat * 3
We verily have created man in an atmosphere * 4
Thinketh he that none hath power over him? * 5
And he saith: I have destroyed vast wealth * 6
Thinketh he that none beholdeth him? * 7
Did We not assign unto him two eyes * 8
And a tongue and two lips * 9
And guide him to the parting of the mountain ways? * 10
But he hath not attempted the Ascent * 11
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Ascent is * 12
(It is) to free a slave * 13
And to feed in the day of hunger * 14
An orphan near of kin * 15
Or some poor wretch in misery * 16
And to be of those who believe and exhort one another to perseverance and export one another to pity * 17
Their place will be on the right hand * 18
But those who disbelieve Our revelations, their place will be on the left hand * 19
Fire will be an awning over them * 20
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the sun and his brightness * 1
And the moon when she followeth him * 2
And the day when it revealeth him * 3
And the night when it enshroudeth him * 4
And the heaven and Him who built it * 5
And the earth and Him who spread it * 6
And a soul and Him who perfected it * 7
And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it * 8
He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow * 9
And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it * 10
(The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride * 11
When the basest of them broke forth * 12
And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she camel of Allah, so let her drink * 13
But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and razed (their dwellings) * 14
He dreadeth not the sequel (of events) * 15
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the night enshrouding * 1
And the day resplendent * 2
And Him Who hath created male and female * 3
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends) * 4
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah) * 5
And believeth in goodness * 6
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease * 7
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent * 8
And disbelieveth in goodness * 9
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity * 10
His riches will not save him when he perisheth * 11
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance * 12
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former * 13
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire * 14
Which only the most wretched must endure * 15
He who denieth and turneth away * 16
Far removed from it will be the righteous * 17
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness) * 18
And none hath with him any favor for reward * 19
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High * 20
He verily will be content * 21
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the morning hours * 1
And by the night when it is stillest * 2
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee * 3
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former * 4
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content * 5
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee)? * 6
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee)? * 7
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee)? * 8
Therefor the orphan oppress not * 9
Therefor the beggar drive not away * 10
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse * 11
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate * 1
And eased thee of the burden * 2
Which weighed down thy back * 3
And exalted thy fame? * 4
But lo! with hardship goeth ease * 5
Lo! with hardship goeth ease * 6
So when thou art relieved, still toil * 7
And strive to please thy Lord * 8
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the fig and the olive * 1
By Mount Sinai * 2
And by this land made safe * 3
Surely We created man of the best stature * 4
Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low * 5
Save those who believe and do good works, and theirs is a reward unfailing * 6
So who henceforth will give the lie to thee about the judgment? * 7
Is not Allah the most conclusive of all judges? * 8
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Read: In the name of thy Lord who createth * 1
Createth man from a clot * 2
Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous * 3
Who teacheth by the pen * 4
Teacheth man that which be knew not * 5
Nay, but verily man is rebellious * 6
That he thinketh himself independent * 7
Lo! unto thy Lord is the return * 8
Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth * 9
A slave when he prayeth? * 10
Hast thou seen if he (relieth) on the guidance (of Allah) * 11
Or enjoineth piety? * 12
Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward? * 13
Is he then unaware that Allah seeth? * 14
Nay, but if he cease not. We will seize him by the forelock * 15
The lying, sinful forelock * 16
Then let him call upon his henchmen * 17
We will call the guards of hell * 18
Nay! Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah) * 19
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power * 1
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is * 2
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months * 3
The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees * 4
That night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn * 5)
