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

"Stories
(of) the former (people)."
68:16
We will brand him

68:17

(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.
68:21
And they called one another
(at) morning,
