THE MOST HIGH GLORY TO YOUR LORD IN THE HIGHEST Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

87:1 Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High,

87:2 Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;

87:3 Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;

87:4 And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

87:5 And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.

87:6 By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,

87:7 Except as God wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.

87:8 And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).

87:9 Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).

87:10 The admonition will be received by those who fear (God):

87:11 But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,

87:12 Who will enter the Great Fire,

87:13 In which they will then neither die nor live.

87:14 But those will prosper who purify themselves,

87:15 And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

87:16 Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;

87:17 But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.

87:18 And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),-

87:19 The Books of Abraham and Moses.

THE MORNING STAR THE NIGHTCOMER Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

86:1 By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-

86:2 And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

86:3 (It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-

86:4 There is no soul but has a protector over it.

86:5 Now let man but think from what he is created!

86:6 He is created from a drop emitted-

86:7 Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:

86:8 Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)!

86:9 The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,

86:10 (Man) will have no power, and no helper.

86:11 By the Firmament which returns (in its round),

86:12 And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-

86:13 Behold this is the Word that distinguishes (Good from Evil):

86:14 It is not a thing for amusement.

86:15 As for them, they are but plotting a scheme,

86:16 And I am planning a scheme.

86:17 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile).

THE MANSIONS OF THE STARS CONSTELLATIONS Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

85:1 By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;

85:2 By the promised Day (of Judgment);

85:3 By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-

85:4 Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),

85:5 Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:

85:6 Behold! they sat over against the (fire),

85:7 And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.

85:8 And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in God, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-

85:9 Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And God is Witness to all things.

85:10 Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.

85:11 For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),

85:12 Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.

85:13 It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).

85:14 And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Full of Loving-Kindness,

85:15 Lord of the Throne of Glory,

85:16 Doer (without let) of all that He intends.

85:17 Has the story reached thee, of the forces-

85:18 Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?

85:19 And yet the Unbelievers (persist) in rejecting (the Truth)!

85:20 But God doth encompass them from behind!

85:21 Day, this is a Glorious Qur'an,

85:22 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!

THE SUNDERING SPLITTING OPEN Holy Quran God Speak

 

In the name of God,

Most Gracious, Most Merciful

84:1 When the sky is rent asunder,

84:2 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so);-

84:3 And when the earth is flattened out,

84:4 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

84:5 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord,- and it must needs (do so);- (then will come Home the full reality).

84:6 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord- painfully toiling,- but thou shalt meet Him.

84:7 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

84:8 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

84:9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

84:10 But he who is given his Record behind his back,-

84:11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

84:12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

84:13 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

84:14 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

84:15 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

84:16 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

84:17 The Night and its Homing;

84:18 And the Moon in her fullness:

84:19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

84:20 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not?-

84:21 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

84:22 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

84:23 But God has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

84:24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

84:25 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
