Sura 68, Al-Qalam (The Pen)
In (the) name
(of) Allah,
the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
Nun.
By the pen
and what
they write,
Not
you (are),
by (the) Grace
(of) your Lord,
a madman.
And indeed,
for you
surely (is) a reward
without
end.
And indeed, you
surely (are)
(of) a moral character
great.
So you will see
and they will see,
Which of you
(is) the afflicted one.
Indeed,
your Lord,
He
(is) most knowing
of (he) who
has strayed
from
His way,
and He
(is) most knowing
of the guided ones.
So (do) not
obey
the deniers.
They wish
that
you should compromise,
so they would compromise.
And (do) not
obey
every
habitual swearer
worthless,
Defamer
going about
with malicious gossip,
A preventer,
of (the) good,
transgressor,
sinful,
Cruel,
after
(all) that
utterly useless.
Because
(he) is
a possessor
(of) wealth
and children,
When
are recited
to him
Our Verses,
he says,
"Stories
(of) the former (people)."
We will brand him
on
the snout.
Indeed, We
have tried them
as
We tried
(the) companions
(of) the garden,
when
they swore
to pluck its fruit
(in the) morning,
And not
making exception.
So there came
upon it
a visitation
from
your Lord,
while they
were asleep.
So it became
as if reaped.
