Yusuf Ali
By those who range themselves in ranks,
Yusuf Ali
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
Yusuf Ali
And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!
Yusuf Ali
Verily, verily, your Allah is one!-
Yusuf Ali
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
Yusuf Ali
We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,-
Yusuf Ali
(For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,
Yusuf Ali
(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,
Yusuf Ali
Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,
Yusuf Ali
Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.
Yusuf Ali
Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!
Yusuf Ali
Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,
Yusuf Ali
And, when they are admonished, pay no heed,-
Yusuf Ali
And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,
Yusuf Ali
And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
Yusuf Ali
"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)
Yusuf Ali
"And also our fathers of old?"
Yusuf Ali
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
Yusuf Ali
Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!
Yusuf Ali
They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
