Sura - 68 The Pen
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
	1		[ 68: 1 ] NuN, the pen, and what they ( the people ) write.
	2		[ 68: 2 ] You have attained a great blessing from your Lord; you are not crazy.
	3		[ 68: 3 ] You have attained a recompense that is well deserved.
	4		[ 68: 4 ] You are blessed with a great moral character.
	5		[ 68: 5 ] You will see, and they will see.
	6		[ 68: 6 ] Which of you are condemned.
	7		[ 68: 7 ] Your Lord is fully aware of those who strayed off His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.
	8		[ 68: 8 ] Do not obey the rejectors.
	9		[ 68: 9 ] They wish that you compromise, so they too can compromise.
	10		[ 68: 10 ] Do not obey every lowly swearer.
	11		[ 68: 11 ] A slanderer, a backbiter.
	12		[ 68: 12 ] Forbidder of charity, a transgressor, a sinner.
	13		[ 68: 13 ] Unappreciative, and greedy.
	14		[ 68: 14 ] Even though he possessed enough money and children.
	15		[ 68: 15 ] When our revelations are recited to him, he says, " Tales from the past! "
	16		[ 68: 16 ] We will mark his face.
	17		[ 68: 17 ] We have tested them like we tested the owners of the garden who swore that they will harvest it in the morning.
	18		[ 68: 18 ] They were so absolutely sure.
	19		[ 68: 19 ] A passing ( storm ) from your Lord passed by it while they were asleep.
	20		[ 68: 20 ] By morning, it was barren.
	21		[ 68: 21 ] They called on each other in the morning.
	22		[ 68: 22 ] " Let us harvest the crop. "
	23		[ 68: 23 ] On their way, they confided to each other.
	24		[ 68: 24 ] That from then on, none of them would be poor.
	25		[ 68: 25 ] They were so absolutely sure of their harvest.
	26		[ 68: 26 ] But when they saw it, they said, " We were so wrong!
	27		[ 68: 27 ] " Now, we have nothing! "
	28		[ 68: 28 ] The righteous among them said, " If only you had glorified ( God )! "
	29		[ 68: 29 ] They said, " Glory be to our Lord. We have transgressed. "
	30		[ 68: 30 ] They started to blame each other.
	31		[ 68: 31 ] They said, " Woe to us. We sinned.
	32		[ 68: 32 ] " May our Lord grant us a better one. We repent to our Lord. "
	33		[ 68: 33 ] Such was the requital. But the retribution of the Hereafter is far worse, if they only knew.
	34		[ 68: 34 ] The righteous have deserved, at their Lord, gardens of bliss.
	35		[ 68: 35 ] Shall we treat the Submitters like the criminals?
	36		[ 68: 36 ] What is wrong with your logic?
	37		[ 68: 37 ] Do you have another book to uphold?
	38		[ 68: 38 ] In it, do you find anything you want?
	39		[ 68: 39 ] Or, have you received solemn assurances from us that grant you whatever you wish on the Day of Resurrection?
	40		[ 68: 40 ] Ask them, " Who guarantees this for you? "
	41		[ 68: 41 ] Do they have idols? Let their idols help them, if they are truthful.
	42		[ 68: 42 ] The day will come when they will be exposed, and they will be required to fall prostrate, but they will be unable to.
	43		[ 68: 43 ] With their eyes subdued, humiliation will cover them. They were invited to fall prostrate when they were whole and able.
	44		[ 68: 44 ] Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this Hadith; we will lead them on whence they never perceive.
	45		[ 68: 45 ] I will give them enough rope; My scheming is formidable.
	46		[ 68: 46 ] Are you asking them for money, so they are burdened by the fine?
	47		[ 68: 47 ] Do they know the future? Do they have it recorded?
	48		[ 68: 48 ] You shall steadfastly persevere in carrying out the commands of your Lord. Do not be like ( Jonah ) who called from inside the fish.
	49		[ 68: 49 ] If it were not for his Lord's grace, he would have been ejected into the desert as a sinner.
	50		[ 68: 50 ] But his Lord blessed him, and made him righteous.
	51		[ 68: 51 ] Those who disbelieved show their ridicule in their eyes when they hear the message and say, " He is crazy! "
	52		[ 68: 52 ] It is in fact a message to the world.
