this chapter has 52 verses.

in the name of allah, most gracious, most merciful.

1. alif. lám. rá. a book which we have revealed unto thee, in order that thou mightest lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light - by the leave of their lord - to the way of (him) the exalted in power, worthy of all praise!-

2. of allah, to whom do belong all things in the heavens and on earth! but alas for the unbelievers for a terrible chastisement (their unfaith will bring them)!-

3. those who prefer the life of this world to the hereafter, who hinder (men) from the path of allah and seek to make it something crooked: they are astray by a long distance.

4. we sent not a messenger except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. so allah leads astray those whom he pleases and guides whom he pleases: and he is exalted in power, full of wisdom.

5. we sent moses with our signs (and the command) "bring out thy people from the depths of darkness into light, and remind them of the days of allah." verily in this there are signs for such as are firmly patient and constant,- grateful and appreciative.

6. remember! moses said to his people: "call to mind the favor of allah to you when he delivered you from the people of pharaoh: they set you hard tasks and punishments, slaughtered your sons, and let your women-folk live: therein was a tremendous trial from your lord."

7. and remember! your lord caused to be declared (publicly): "if ye are grateful, i will add more (favors) unto you; but if ye show ingratitude, truly my punishment is terrible indeed."

8. and moses said: "if ye show ingratitude, ye and all on earth together, yet is allah free of all wants, worthy of all praise."

9. has not the story reached you, (o people!), of those who (went) before you? - of the people of noah, and àd, and thamüd? - and of those who (came) after them? none knows them but allah. to them came messengers with clear (signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "we do deny (the mission) on which ye have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us."

10. their messengers said: "is there a doubt about allah, the creator of the heavens and the earth? it is he who invites you, in order that he may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a term appointed!" they said: "ah! ye are no more than human, like ourselves! ye wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship: then bring us some clear authority."

11. their messengers said to them: "true, we are human like yourselves, but allah doth grant his grace to such of his servants as he pleases. it is not for us to bring you an authority except as allah permits. and on allah let all men of faith put their trust.

12. "why we should not put our trust on allah? indeed he has guided us to the ways we (follow). we shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us. for those who put their trust should put their trust on allah."

13. and the unbelievers said to their messengers: "be sure we shall drive you out of our land, or ye shall return to our religion." but their lord inspired (this message) to them: "verily we shall cause the wrong-doers to perish!

14. "and verily we shall cause you to abide in the land, and succeed them. this for such as fear the time when they shall stand before my tribunal,- such as fear the punishment."

15. but they sought victory and decision (there and then), and frustration was the lot of every powerful obstinate transgressor.

16. in front of such a one is hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water.

17. in gulps will he sip it, but never will he be near swallowing it down his throat: death will come to him from every quarter, yet will he not die: and in front of him will be a chastisement unrelenting.

18. the parable of those who reject their lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: no power have they over aught that they have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).

19. seest thou not that allah created the heavens and the earth in truth? if he so will, he can remove you and put (in your place) a new creation?

20. nor is that for allah any great matter.

21. they will all be marshaled before allah together: then will the weak say to those who were arrogant, "for us, we but followed you; can ye then avail us to all against the wrath of allah?" they will reply, "if we had received the guidance of allah, we should have given it to you: to us it makes no difference (now) whether we rage, or bear (these torments) with patience: for ourselves there is no way of escape."

22. and satan will say when the matter is decided: "it was allah who gave you a promise of truth: i too promised, but i failed in my promise to you. i had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. i cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. i reject your former act in associating me with allah. for wrong-doers there must be a grievous chastisement."

23. but those who believe and work righteousness will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow,- to dwell therein for aye with the leave of their lord. their greeting therein will be: "peace!"

24. seest thou not how allah sets forth a parable? - a goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,-

25. it brings forth its fruit at all times, by the leave of its lord. so allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.
