			SECTION: 1
 1. Alif Lam Mim.
 
 2. The sending down of the Book undoubtedly is from the Lord of the
 worlds.
 
 3. What they say, 'that it has been fabricated by him? Nay, it is 
			the
 truth from your Lord that you may warn such people to whom no warner
 came before you that haply they may get the way.
 
 4. Allah is, He Who has made heavens and earth and whatever is in
 between them in six days, then He seated Himself on the throne. You
 heave neither supporter nor intercessor leaving Him. Do you not then
 reflect?
 
 5. He plans the affairs from the heaven to the earth, then it will
 return to Him in a day whose measure is a thousand years in your
 counting.
 
 6. He it is, the knower of every hidden and apparent Honourable,
 Merciful.
 
 7. He, Who whatever He made, made best, and He began the creation of
 man from the clay.
 
 8. Then He made his progeny from an extract of valueless water.
 
 9. Then He set him right and breathed into him of His spirit and 
			gave
 to you ear, and eyes and heart. What a little gratitude you
 acknowledge?
 
 10. And they said' 'what! When we shall be merged in the earth, 
			shall
 we be made a new? Nay! They even deny the presence before their 
			Lord.
 
 11. Say you, 'the angel of death who has been appointed over you 
			causes
 you to die, then you shall be returned to your Lord'.
 
 SECTION: 2
 
 12. And if you could see when the culprits will be hanging their 
			heads
 before their Lord, saying, `O our Lord! now we have seen and have
 heard, send us back again that we may do good, we are convinced 
			now'.
 
 13. And had We wished, We would have given to every soul its 
			guidance,
 but My word has been already established that I shall necessarily 
			fill
 the Hell with Jinn and men altogether.
 
 14. Now taste you, for you forgot the meeting of this your day, We 
			have
 left you, now taste the lasting torment the recompense of your 
			doing.
 
 15. Those only believe in Our signs, who when they are reminded of
 them, fall down prostrate and praising their Lord speak His 
			Hollowness
 and they are not proud. [^] (SAJDA) 9.
 
 16. Their sides keep away from beds and they call upon their Lord in
 fear and hope and spend in charity out of what We have provided 
			them.
 
 17. And no soul knows what joy of eyes has been kept hidden for 
			them,
 the recompense of their doings.
 
 18. Will then he who is a believer be like him who is disobedient, 
			they
 are not equal?
 
 19. As to those who have believed and have done good deeds for them 
			are
 gardens for abiding, an entertainment for their doings.
 
 20. And as for those who are disobedient, their destination is the
 Fire. Whenever they will wish to come out from there, they will be
 returned back into the same and it will be said to them, Taste the
 torment of this Fire which you used to belie'.
 
 21. And surely, We will make them taste some of the nearer torments
 before the great torment, so that one who sees it may hope that just
 now they will turn back repenting.
 
 22. And who is more unjust than he who has been admonished by the 
			signs
 of his Lord and then turned away his face from them? Undoubtedly We 
			are
 to take revenge from the culprits.
 
 SECTION: 3
 
 23. And undoubtedly, We bestowed Book to Musa, you therefore doubt 
			not
 about meeting him and We made it a guidance for the children of 
			Israel.
 
 24. And We appointed from amongst them some leaders that they guide 
			by
 Our command, while they themselves endured patiently and they were
 convinced of Our signs.
 
 25. Undoubtedly, your Lord shall decide between them on the Day of
 Judgement concerning that in which they used to differ.
 
 26. And have they not been guided by this that We have already
 destroyed many generations before them in whose dwellings, they are
 today walking about? Undoubtedly in it are signs. Do then they hear
 not?
 
 27. And do they not see that We send water toward dry land, and 
			produce
 thereby crops of which their cattle and they themselves eat? Do then
 they see not?
 
 28. And they say, 'when shall be this decision if you are truthful'?
 
 29. Say you, 'on the Day of Judgement the believing of infidels 
			shall
 not avail them and nor will they get time.
 
 30. Therefore turn away your face from them and wait, undoubtedly; 
			they
 are also to wait.
