Sura - 15 Al-Hijr Valley
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
	1		[ 15: 1 ] A. L. R. These ( letters ) are proofs of this scripture; a profound Quran.
	2		[ 15: 2 ] Certainly, those who disbelieved will wish they were submitters.
	3		[ 15: 3 ] Let them eat, enjoy, and remain blinded by wishful thinking; they will find out.
	4		[ 15: 4 ] We never annihilated any community, except in accordance with a specific, predetermined time.
	5		[ 15: 5 ] The end of any community can never be advanced, nor delayed.
	6		[ 15: 6 ] They said, " O you who received this reminder, you are crazy.
	7		[ 15: 7 ] " Why do you not bring down the angels, if you are truthful? "
	8		[ 15: 8 ] We do not send down the angels except for specific functions. Otherwise, no one will be respited.
	9		[ 15: 9 ] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it.
	10		[ 15: 10 ] We have sent ( messengers ) before you to the communities in the past.
	11		[ 15: 11 ] Every time a messenger went to them, they ridiculed him.
	12		[ 15: 12 ] We thus control the minds of the guilty.
	13		[ 15: 13 ] Consequently, they cannot believe in him. This has been the system since the past generations.
	14		[ 15: 14 ] Even if we opened for them a gate into the sky, through which they climb;
	15		[ 15: 15 ] they will say, " Our eyes have been deceived. We have been bewitched. "
	16		[ 15: 16 ] We placed galaxies in the sky, and adorned it for the beholders.
	17		[ 15: 17 ] And we guarded it against every rejected devil.
	18		[ 15: 18 ] If any of them sneaks around to listen, a mighty projectile will chase him back.
	19		[ 15: 19 ] As for the earth, we constructed it, and placed on it stabilizers ( mountains ), and we grew on it a perfect balance of everything.
	20		[ 15: 20 ] We made it habitable for you, and for creatures you do not provide for.
	21		[ 15: 21 ] There is nothing that we do not own infinite amounts thereof. But we send it down in precise measure.
	22		[ 15: 22 ] And we send the winds as pollinators, and cause water to come down from the sky for you to drink. Otherwise, you could not keep it palatable.
	23		[ 15: 23 ] It is we who control life and death, and we are the ultimate inheritors.
	24		[ 15: 24 ] And we fully know those among you who advance, and we fully know those who regress.
	25		[ 15: 25 ] Your Lord will surely summon them. He is Most Wise, Omniscient.
	26		[ 15: 26 ] We created the human being from aged mud, like the potter's clay.
	27		[ 15: 27 ] As for the jinns, we created them, before that, from blazing fire.
	28		[ 15: 28 ] Your Lord said to the angels, " I am creating a human being from aged mud, like the potter's clay.
	29		[ 15: 29 ] " Once I perfect him, and blow into him from My spirit, you shall fall prostrate before him. "
	30		[ 15: 30 ] The angels fell prostrate; all of them,
	31		[ 15: 31 ] except Iblis ( Satan ). He refused to be with the prostrators.
	32		[ 15: 32 ] He said, " O Iblis ( Satan ), why are you not with the prostrators? "
	33		[ 15: 33 ] He said, " I am not to prostrate before a human being, whom You created from aged mud, like the potter's clay. "
	34		[ 15: 34 ] He said, " Therefore, you must get out; you are banished.
	35		[ 15: 35 ] " You have incurred My condemnation until the Day of Judgment. "
	36		[ 15: 36 ] He said, " My Lord, respite me until the day they are resurrected. "
	37		[ 15: 37 ] He said, " You are respited.
	38		[ 15: 38 ] " Until the specified day and time. "
	39		[ 15: 39 ] He said, " My Lord, since You have willed that I go astray, I will surely entice them on earth; I will send them all astray.
	40		[ 15: 40 ] " Except those among Your worshipers who are devoted absolutely to You alone. "
	41		[ 15: 41 ] He said, " This is a law that is inviolable.
	42		[ 15: 42 ] " You have no power over My servants. You only have power over the strayers who follow you.
	43		[ 15: 43 ] " And Hell awaits them all.
	44		[ 15: 44 ] " It will have seven gates. Each gate will get a specific share of them. "
	45		[ 15: 45 ] As for the righteous, they will enjoy gardens and springs.
	46		[ 15: 46 ] Enter therein, peaceful and secure.
	47		[ 15: 47 ] We remove all jealousy from their hearts. Like one family, they will be on adjacent furnishings.
	48		[ 15: 48 ] Never will they suffer any fatigue therein; never will they be evicted therefrom.
	49		[ 15: 49 ] Inform My servants that I am the Forgiver, Most Merciful.
	50		[ 15: 50 ] And that My retribution is the most painful retribution.
	51		[ 15: 51 ] Inform them about Abraham's guests.
	52		[ 15: 52 ] When they entered his quarters, they said, " Peace. " He said, " We are apprehensive about you. "
	53		[ 15: 53 ] They said, " Do not be apprehensive. We have good news for you: an enlightened son. "
	54		[ 15: 54 ] He said, " How can you give me such good news, when I am so old? Do you still give me this good news? "
	55		[ 15: 55 ] They said, " The good news we give you is true; do not despair. "
	56		[ 15: 56 ] He said, " None despairs of his Lord's mercy, except the strayers. "
	57		[ 15: 57 ] He said, " What is your mission, O messengers? "
	58		[ 15: 58 ] They said, " We are being dispatched to guilty people.
	59		[ 15: 59 ] " As for Lot's family, we will save them all.
	60		[ 15: 60 ] " But not his wife; she is destined to be with the doomed. "
	61		[ 15: 61 ] The messengers went to Lot's town.
	62		[ 15: 62 ] He said, " You are unknown people. "
	63		[ 15: 63 ] They said, " We bring to you what they have been doubting.
	64		[ 15: 64 ] " We bring to you the truth; we are truthful.
	65		[ 15: 65 ] " You shall take your family during the night. Stay behind them, and make sure that none of you looks back. Go straight as commanded. "
	66		[ 15: 66 ] We delivered to him this command: those people are to be annihilated in the morning.
	67		[ 15: 67 ] The people of the city came joyfully.
	68		[ 15: 68 ] He said, " These are my guests; do not embarrass me.
	69		[ 15: 69 ] " Fear GOD, and do not shame me. "
	70		[ 15: 70 ] They said, " Did we not enjoin you from contacting anyone? "
	71		[ 15: 71 ] He said, " Here are my daughters, if you must. "
	72		[ 15: 72 ] But, alas, they were totally blinded by their lust.
	73		[ 15: 73 ] Consequently, the disaster struck them in the morning.
	74		[ 15: 74 ] We turned it upside down, and showered them with devastating rocks.
	75		[ 15: 75 ] This is a lesson for those who possess intelligence.
	76		[ 15: 76 ] This will always be the system.
	77		[ 15: 77 ] This is a sign for the believers.
	78		[ 15: 78 ] The people of the woods also were transgressors.
	79		[ 15: 79 ] Consequently, we avenged from them, and both communities are fully documented.
	80		[ 15: 80 ] The people of Al-Hijr disbelieved the messengers.
	81		[ 15: 81 ] We gave them our revelations, but they disregarded them.
	82		[ 15: 82 ] They used to carve secure homes out of the mountains.
	83		[ 15: 83 ] The disaster hit them in the morning.
	84		[ 15: 84 ] What they hoarded did not help them.
	85		[ 15: 85 ] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them, except for a specific purpose. The end of the world will come, so treat them with benign neglect.
	86		[ 15: 86 ] Your Lord is the Creator, the Omniscient.
	87		[ 15: 87 ] We have given you the seven pairs, and the great Quran.
	88		[ 15: 88 ] Do not be jealous of what we bestowed upon the other ( messengers ), and do not be saddened ( by the disbelievers ), and lower your wing for the believers.
	89		[ 15: 89 ] And proclaim: " I am the manifest warner. "
	90		[ 15: 90 ] We will deal with the dividers.
	91		[ 15: 91 ] They accept the Quran only partially.
	92		[ 15: 92 ] By your Lord, we will question them all,
	93		[ 15: 93 ] about everything they have done.
	94		[ 15: 94 ] Therefore, carry out the orders given to you, and disregard the idol worshipers.
	95		[ 15: 95 ] We will spare you the mockers,
	96		[ 15: 96 ] who set up another god beside GOD. They will surely find out.
	97		[ 15: 97 ] We know full well that you may be annoyed by their utterances.
	98		[ 15: 98 ] You shall sing the praises of your Lord, and be with the prostrators.
	99		[ 15: 99 ] And worship your Lord, in order to attain certainty.
