15:1

to top

15:1

 

Sahih International

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the Book and a clear Qur'an.

 

15:2

to top

15:2

 

Sahih International

Perhaps those who disbelieve will wish that they had been Muslims.

 

15:3

to top

15:3

 

Sahih International

Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are going to know.

 

15:4

to top

15:4

 

Sahih International

And We did not destroy any city but that for it was a known decree.

 

15:5

to top

15:5

 

Sahih International

No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.

 

15:6

to top

15:6

 

Sahih International

And they say,"O you upon whom the message has been sent down, indeed you are mad.

 

15:7

to top

15:7

 

Sahih International

Why do you not bring us the angels, if you should be among the truthful?"

 

15:8

to top

15:8

 

Sahih International

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and the disbelievers would not then be reprieved.

 

15:9

to top

15:9

 

Sahih International

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.

 

15:10

to top

15:10

 

Sahih International

And We had certainly sent [messengers] before you, [O Muhammad], among the sects of the former peoples.

 

15:11

to top

15:11

 

Sahih International

And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.

 

15:12

to top

15:12

 

Sahih International

Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals.

 

15:13

to top

15:13

 

Sahih International

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

 

15:14

to top

15:14

 

Sahih International

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

 

15:15

to top

15:15

 

Sahih International

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

 

15:16

to top

15:16

 

Sahih International

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

 

15:17

to top

15:17

 

Sahih International

And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah ]

 

15:18

to top

15:18

 

Sahih International

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

 

15:19

to top

15:19

 

Sahih International

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

 

15:20

to top

15:20

 

Sahih International

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.

 

15:21

to top

15:21

 

Sahih International

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure.

 

15:22

to top

15:22

 

Sahih International

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.

 

15:23

to top

15:23

 

Sahih International

And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.

 

15:24

to top

15:24

 

Sahih International

And We have already known the preceding [generations] among you, and We have already known the later [ones to come].

 

15:25

to top

15:25

 

Sahih International

And indeed, your Lord will gather them; indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

 

15:26

to top

15:26

 

Sahih International

And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.

 

15:27

to top

15:27

 

Sahih International

And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.

 

15:28

to top

15:28

 

Sahih International

And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.

 

15:29

to top

15:29

 

Sahih International

And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

 

15:30

to top

15:30

 

Sahih International

So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely,

 

15:31

to top

15:31

 

Sahih International

Except Iblees, he refused to be with those who prostrated.

 

15:32

to top

15:32

 

Sahih International

[ Allah ] said, O Iblees, what is [the matter] with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"

 

15:33

to top

15:33

 

Sahih International

He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."

 

15:34

to top

15:34

 

Sahih International

[ Allah ] said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled.

 

15:35

to top

15:35

 

Sahih International

And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."

 

15:36

to top

15:36

 

Sahih International

He said,"My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."

 

15:37

to top

15:37

 

Sahih International

[ Allah ] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved

 

15:38

to top

15:38

 

Sahih International

Until the Day of the time well-known."

 

15:39

to top

15:39

 

Sahih International

[Iblees] said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all

 

15:40

to top

15:40

 

Sahih International

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."

 

15:41

to top

15:41

 

Sahih International

[ Allah ] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight.

 

15:42

to top

15:42

 

Sahih International

Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.

 

15:43

to top

15:43

 

Sahih International

And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all.

 

15:44

to top

15:44

 

Sahih International

It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated."

 

15:45

to top

15:45

 

Sahih International

Indeed, the righteous will be within gardens and springs.

 

15:46

to top

15:46

 

Sahih International

[Having been told], "Enter it in peace, safe [and secure]."

 

15:47

to top

15:47

 

Sahih International

And We will remove whatever is in their breasts of resentment, [so they will be] brothers, on thrones facing each other.

 

15:48

to top

15:48

 

Sahih International

No fatigue will touch them therein, nor from it will they [ever] be removed.

 

15:49

to top

15:49

 

Sahih International

[O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful.

 

15:50

to top

15:50

 

Sahih International

And that it is My punishment which is the painful punishment.

 

15:51

to top

15:51

 

Sahih International

And inform them about the guests of Abraham,

 

15:52

to top

15:52

 

Sahih International

When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful of you."

 

15:53

to top

15:53

 

Sahih International

[The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."

 

15:54

to top

15:54

 

Sahih International

He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"

 

15:55

to top

15:55

 

Sahih International

They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."

 

15:56

to top

15:56

 

Sahih International

He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"

 

15:57

to top

15:57

 

Sahih International

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

 

15:58

to top

15:58

 

Sahih International

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,

 

15:59

to top

15:59

 

Sahih International

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

 

15:60

to top

15:60

 

Sahih International

Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.

 

15:61

to top

15:61

 

Sahih International

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

 

15:62

to top

15:62

 

Sahih International

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

 

15:63

to top

15:63

 

Sahih International

They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,

 

15:64

to top

15:64

 

Sahih International

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

 

15:65

to top

15:65

 

Sahih International

So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."

 

15:66

to top

15:66

 

Sahih International

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.

 

15:67

to top

15:67

 

Sahih International

And the people of the city came rejoicing.

 

15:68

to top

15:68

 

Sahih International

[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.

 

15:69

to top

15:69

 

Sahih International

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me."

 

15:70

to top

15:70

 

Sahih International

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"

 

15:71

to top

15:71

 

Sahih International

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]."

 

15:72

to top

15:72

 

Sahih International

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly.

 

15:73

to top

15:73

 

Sahih International

So the shriek seized them at sunrise.

 

15:74

to top

15:74

 

Sahih International

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay.

 

15:75

to top

15:75

 

Sahih International

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

 

15:76

to top

15:76

 

Sahih International

And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road.

 

15:77

to top

15:77

 

Sahih International

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.

 

15:78

to top

15:78

 

Sahih International

And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers.

 

15:79

to top

15:79

 

Sahih International

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway.

 

15:80

to top

15:80

 

Sahih International

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers.

 

15:81

to top

15:81

 

Sahih International

And We gave them Our signs, but from them they were turning away.

 

15:82

to top

15:82

 

Sahih International

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

 

15:83

to top

15:83

 

Sahih International

But the shriek seized them at early morning.

 

15:84

to top

15:84

 

Sahih International

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn.

 

15:85

to top

15:85

 

Sahih International

And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

 

15:86

to top

15:86

 

Sahih International

Indeed, your Lord - He is the Knowing Creator.

 

15:87

to top

15:87

 

Sahih International

And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.

 

15:88

to top

15:88

 

Sahih International

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of the disbelievers, and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing to the believers

 

15:89

to top

15:89

 

Sahih International

And say, "Indeed, I am the clear warner" -

 

15:90

to top

15:90

 

Sahih International

Just as We had revealed [scriptures] to the separators

 

15:91

to top

15:91

 

Sahih International

Who have made the Qur'an into portions.

 

15:92

to top

15:92

 

Sahih International

So by your Lord, We will surely question them all

 

15:93

to top

15:93

 

Sahih International

About what they used to do.

 

15:94

to top

15:94

 

Sahih International

Then declare what you are commanded and turn away from the polytheists.

 

15:95

to top

15:95

 

Sahih International

Indeed, We are sufficient for you against the mockers

 

15:96

to top

15:96

 

Sahih International

Who make [equal] with Allah another deity. But they are going to know.

 

15:97

to top

15:97

 

Sahih International

And We already know that your breast is constrained by what they say.

 

15:98

to top

15:98

 

Sahih International

So exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him].

 

15:99

to top

15:99

 

Sahih International

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty (death).
