Sura 68, Al-Qalam (The Pen)
In (the) name
(of) Allah,
the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
68:1
Nun.
By the pen
and what
they write,
68:2
Not
you (are),
by (the) Grace
(of) your Lord,
a madman.
68:3
And indeed,
for you
surely (is) a reward
without
end.
68:4
And indeed, you
surely (are)
(of) a moral character
great.
68:5
So you will see
and they will see,
68:6
Which of you
(is) the afflicted one.
68:7
Indeed,
your Lord,
He
(is) most knowing
of (he) who
has strayed
from
His way,
and He
(is) most knowing
of the guided ones.
68:8
So (do) not
obey
the deniers.
68:9
They wish
that
you should compromise,
so they would compromise.
68:10
And (do) not
obey
every
habitual swearer
worthless,
68:11
Defamer
going about
with malicious gossip,
68:12
A preventer,
of (the) good,
transgressor,
sinful,
68:13
Cruel,
after
(all) that
utterly useless.
68:14
Because
(he) is
a possessor
(of) wealth
and children,
68:15
When
are recited
to him
Our Verses,
he says,
"Stories
(of) the former (people)."
68:16
We will brand him
on
the snout.
68:17
Indeed, We
have tried them
as
We tried
(the) companions
(of) the garden,
when
they swore
to pluck its fruit
(in the) morning,
68:18
And not
making exception.
68:19
So there came
upon it
a visitation
from
your Lord,
while they
were asleep.
68:20
So it became
as if reaped.
