In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
- And those who hold to the truth of the Day of Judgment;
- And those who fear the displeasure of their Lord
- For their Lord's displeasure is the opposite of Peace and Tranquillity
- And those who guard their chastity
- Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess for (then) they are not to be blamed
- But those who trespass beyond this are transgressors
- And those who respect their trusts and covenants;
- And those who stand firm in their testimonies;
- And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship
- Such will be the honored ones in the Gardens of (Bliss).
- Now what is the matter with the Unbelievers that they rush madly before thee
- From the right and from the left in crowds?
- Does every man of them long to enter the Garden of Bliss?
- By no means! For We have created them out of the (base matter) they know!
- Now I do call to witness the Lord of all points in the East and the West that We can certainly
- Substitute for them better (men) than they; and We are not to be defeated (in Our Plan).
- So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about until they encounter that Day of theirs which they have been promised!
- The Day whereon they will issue from their sepulchers in sudden hast as if they were rushing to a goal-post (fixed for them)
- Their eyes lowered in dejection ignominy covering them (all over)! Such is the Day the which they are promised!
