This (Book) has been revealed by the Lord of the worlds.

The trustworthy Spirit has come down with it

upon your heart so that you may become one of those who are (appointed by God) to warn (the people)

in plain Arabic language;

and this is also contained in the Scriptures of the former people.

Is it not a Sign for the people (of Makkah) that the learned men of the Children of Israel know it?

(But they are obdurate to the extent) that even if We had sent it down to some non Arab,

and he had recited this (discourse in lucid Arabic) before them, they would still not have believed in it.

Likewise, We have caused this (Qur'an) to pass through the hearts of the criminals.

They do not believe in it until they see the painful torment.

Then, when it overtakes them unawares,

they say, "May we be given some respite ?"

Are these people clamoring for Our torment to be hastened?

Have you considered that even if We grant them the respite to enjoy life for years,

and then there comes down on them that with which they are being threatened,

the provisions of life that they have got, will not avail them anything?

(Note it that) We have never destroyed a habitation unless it had its warners

to administer admonition; and We have never been unjust.

This (lucid Book) has not been brought down by satans,

nor does this work behoove them, nor are they able to do it.

They have indeed been kept out of its hearing.

So, O Muhammad, do not invoke any other deity besides Allah lest you should also be included among those who will be chastised.

Warn your nearest kinsfolk

and treat with kindness those of the believers who follow you,

but if they disobey, tell them: "I am not responsible for what you do."

And put your trust in the Mighty and Merciful One,

Who watches you when you get up,

and when you move about among those who prostrate themselves in worship.

He is indeed All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

O people, shall I tell you upon whom the satans come down?

They come down upon every sinning forgerer.

They whisper hearsay into ears, and most of them are liars.

As for the poets, they have the erring people to follow them.

Do you not see that they stray aimlessly in every valley?

and say that which they do not practice themselves.

save those who believed and did good works and remembered Allah much, and when they were treated unjustly, they only defended themselves (and did not show vindictiveness). And the iniquitous people will soon come to know what punishment awaits them.
