And the clarifying Book.

We have sent it down in a blessed night. Surely, We were to warn.

In it, is a decree for every matter of wisdom.

A decree from Us. Surely, We were to send messengers.

A mercy from your Lord. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.

The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and everything between them. If you were certain!

There is no god except He. He gives life and causes death; your Lord and the Lord of your ancestors.

No; they are in doubt, playing.

Therefore, watch for the day when the heaven will bring a visible smoke.

It will envelop the people: "This is a painful retribution!"

"Our Lord, remove the retribution from us; we are believers."

How is it that now they remember, while a clarifying messenger had come to them?

But then, they turned away from him and said: "Clearly educated, but crazy!"

We will remove the retribution in a while; you will then return back.

On the Day We strike the great strike, We will avenge.

And We had tested before them the people of Pharaoh, and an honorable messenger came to them.

"Restore to me the servants of God. I am a trustworthy messenger to you."

"And, do not transgress against God. I come to you with clear authority."

"And I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, should you stone me."

"And if you do not believe in me, then have no dealing with me."

Subsequently, he called on his Lord: "These are a criminal people."

You shall travel with My servants during the night; you will be pursued.

And cross the sea quickly; their troops will be drowned.

How many gardens and springs did they leave behind?

And crops and an honorable station?

And blessings that they enjoyed?

Thus it was; and We caused another people to inherit it.

Neither the heaven, nor the earth wept over them, and they were not respited.

And We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating agony.

From Pharaoh; he was a transgressing tyrant.

And We have chosen them, out of knowledge, over the worlds.

And We granted them signs, which constituted a great test.

These people now are saying:

"There is nothing except our first death; and we will never be resurrected!"

"So bring back our forefathers, if you are truthful!"

Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, they were criminals.

And We have not created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, for mere play.

We did not create them except with the truth, but most of them do not know.

Surely, the Day of Separation is the appointment for them all.

That is the Day when no friend can help his friend in any way; nor will they be helped.

Except him on whom God has mercy. He is the Noble, the Merciful.

Surely, the tree of Bitterness,

Will be the food for the sinful.

Like hot oil, it will boil in the bellies.

Like the boiling of liquid.

"Take him and throw him into the midst of Hell."

"Then pour upon his head the retribution of boiling liquid."

"Taste this; surely you are the noble, the generous!"

Surely, this is what you used to doubt!
