is in between if you are convinced.
8. None is to be worshipped but He. He gives life and causes
death, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
9. Nay, but they are in doubt, playing.
10. Therefore, wait you the day when the sky will bring
a clear smoke,
11. That it shall cover the people. This is a painful torment.
12. They will say that day, 'O our Lord! Remove from us
the torment, We believe'.
13. Whence they are to accept admonition, whereas there
has already come a clear Messenger.
14. Then they turned away from him and said, 'He is tutored,
madman'.
15. We let loose the torment for sometime, you will again
do the same.
16. The day when We will seize the greatest seizing, verily
We are to take vengeance.
17. And undoubtedly, We tested the people of Firawn before
them, and an honourable Messenger came to them.
18. Saying, 'hand over to me the bondmen of Allah. Verily
I am a trusted Messenger for you'.
19. Rise not up against Allah I bring to you a clear authority.
20. I take refuge of my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone
me.
21. And if you believe not in me, go you apart from me.
22. Then he called upon his Lord, these are guilty people.
23. We commanded that go forth with My bondmen necessarily,
you shall be followed.

the host shall be drowned.
25. How many gardens and springs, they left behind.
26. And cornfields and nice houses.
27. And comforts wherein they were free from care.
28. We did thus, and We made another people to inherit them.
29. And the heavens and the earth did not shed tears for
them, nor were they given respite.
30. And undoubtedly, We delivered the children of Israel
from the abasing torment.
31. From Firawn, he was surely haughty and of the extravagant.
32. And undoubtedly, We chose them knowingly from among
the people of that time
33. And We bestowed them the signs wherein there was clear
reward.
34. These men do say,
35. 'That is not but our first death and we shall not be
raised?
36. Bring back then, our fathers if you are truthful.
37. Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before
them whom We destroyed? Verily they were culprits.
38. And We made not the heavens and the earth and whatsoever
is in between them in play.
39. We made not them but with truth, but most of them know
not.
40. Undoubtedly, the Day of Judgement is the term appointed
for all of them.
41. The day when a friend shall not avail a friend at all
and nor they shall be helped.
42. Save those on whom Allah has mercy. Undoubtedly He is
the Honourable, the Merciful.

large eyed maidens.
55. They will ask for therein every kind of fruit in peace
and security.
56. They will not taste death therein, other than the first
death, and Allah saved them from the torment of the fire.

58. And We have made this Quran easy in your tongue so that
they may understand.
