15 : 1

Yusuf Ali
A. L. R. These are the Ayats of Revelation,- of a Qur´an that makes things clear.

15 : 2

Yusuf Ali
Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to Allah´s will) in Islam.

15 : 3

Yusuf Ali
Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).

15 : 4

Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.

15 : 5

15 : 6

Yusuf Ali
They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!

15 : 7

Yusuf Ali
"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"

15 : 8

Yusuf Ali
We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!

15 : 9

Yusuf Ali
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).

15 : 10

We did send messengers before thee amongst the religious sects of old:

15 : 11

Yusuf Ali
But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.

15 : 12

Yusuf Ali
Even so do we let it creep into the hearts of the sinners -

15 : 13

Yusuf Ali
That they should not believe in the (Message); but the ways of the ancients have passed away.

15 : 14

Yusuf Ali
Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue (all day) ascending therein,

15 : 15

Yusuf Ali
They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery."

15 : 16

Yusuf Ali
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders;

15 : 17

Yusuf Ali
And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil:

15 : 18

Yusuf Ali
But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).

15 : 19

Yusuf Ali
And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.

15 : 20

Yusuf Ali
And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible.
