Al-Qalamالقلم

Nūn. By the pen and what they inscribe,Saheeh International

You are not, [O Muḥammad], by the favor of your Lord, a madman.Saheeh International

And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted.Saheeh International

And indeed, you are of a great moral character.Saheeh International

So you will see and they will see.Saheeh International

Which of you is the afflicted [by a devil].Saheeh International

Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has gone astray from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.Saheeh International

Then do not obey the deniers.Saheeh International

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].Saheeh International

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearerSaheeh International

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -Saheeh International

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,Saheeh International

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.Saheeh International

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,Saheeh International

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."Saheeh International

We will brand him upon the snout.Saheeh International

Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morningSaheeh International

Without making exception.Saheeh International

So there came upon it [i.e., the garden] an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.Saheeh International

And it became as though reaped.Saheeh International

And they called one another at morning,Saheeh International

[Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."Saheeh International

So they set out, while lowering their voices,Saheeh International

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."Saheeh International

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.Saheeh International

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;Saheeh International

Rather, we have been deprived."Saheeh International

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allāh]?'"Saheeh International

They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."Saheeh International

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.Saheeh International

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.Saheeh International

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."Saheeh International

Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.Saheeh International

Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.Saheeh International

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?Saheeh International

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?Saheeh International

Or do you have a scripture in which you learnSaheeh International

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?Saheeh International

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?Saheeh International

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.Saheeh International

Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.Saheeh International

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but they [i.e., the disbelievers] will not be able,Saheeh International

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.Saheeh International

So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.Saheeh International

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.Saheeh International

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?Saheeh International

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?Saheeh International

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.Saheeh International

If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.Saheeh International

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.Saheeh International

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."Saheeh International

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.Saheeh International
