1. Praise be to Allah, to Whom belong all things in the heavens and on earth: to Him be Praise in the Hereafter: and He is full of Wisdom, acquainted with all things.
| 2. He knows all that goes into the earth, and all that comes out thereof; and that comes down from the sky and all that ascends thereto and He is the Most Merciful, the Oft-Forgiving.
| 3. The Unbelievers say, “Never to us will come the Hour : say, Nay But most surely, by my Lord, it will come upon you; by Him Who knows the unseen, - from Whom is not hidden the least little atom in the Heavens or on earth: nor is there anything less than that; or greater, but is in the Record Perspicuous.
| 4. That He may reward those who believe and work deeds of righteousness: for such is Forgiveness and a Sustenance Most Generous.
| 5. But those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, - for such will be a penalty, - a punishment most humiliating.
| 6. And those to whom knowledge ,has come see that the (Revelation) sent down to you from your Lord - that is the Truth, and that it guides to the Path of the Exalted (in Might), Worthy of all praise.
| 7. The Unbelievers say (in ridicule): Shall we point out to you a man that will tell you, when you are all scattered to pieces in disintegration, that you shall (then be raised) in a New Creation?
| 8. Has he invented a falsehood against Allah, or has a spirit (seized) him? - Nay, it is those who do not believe in the Hereafter that are in (real) penalty, and in farthest Error.
| 9. See they not what is before them and behind them, of the sky and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause a piece of the sky to fall upon them. Verily in this is a Sign for every devotee that turns to Allah (in repentance).
