And those that lift and bear away heavy weights;
And those that flow with ease and gentleness;
And those that distribute and apportion by Command;-
Verily that which ye are promised is true;
And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.
Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.
Woe to the falsehood-mongers,-
Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"
(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!
As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,
And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;
And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).
And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.
Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.
Behold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people."
(When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge.
(Abraham) said: "And what, O ye Messengers, is your errand (now)?"
"To bring on, on them, (a shower of) stones of clay (brimstone),
"Marked as from thy Lord for those who trespass beyond bounds."
But (Pharaoh) turned back with his Chiefs, and said, "A sorcerer, or one possessed!"
And in the 'Ad (people) (was another Sign): Behold, We sent against them the devastating Wind:
It left nothing whatever that it came up against, but reduced it to ruin and rottenness.
And in the Thamud (was another Sign): Behold, they were told, "Enjoy (your brief day) for a little while!"
But they insolently defied the Command of their Lord: So the stunning noise (of an earthquake) seized them, even while they were looking on.
Then they could not even stand (on their feet), nor could they help themselves.
With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
And We have spread out the (spacious) earth: How excellently We do spread out!
