33:31 Whoever of you  is obedient to Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), and does righteous deeds, We shall grant her double reward, and We have prepared a noble provision for her.

33:32 O' wives of the Prophet (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہم اجمعين), you are not like any other women.  If you are mindful (of Allah), then do not be overly soft in speech (with men),  as those with sickness in their hearts  may be tempted, but speak in a moderate tone.

33:33 Settle in your homes, and do not display yourselves as women did in the days of (pre-Islamic) ignorance.  Establish Salah and pay Zakat and obey Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم).   O' members of the (Prophet’s  ﷺ) family (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہم اجمعين), Allah only intends to keep (the causes of) evil away from you and purify you completely. 

33:34 (O' wives of the Prophet ﷺ, Always) remember what is recited in your homes of Allah’s revelations and (statements of Prophetic ﷺ) wisdom.   Surely Allah is Most Subtle, All Aware. 

33:35 Surely (for) Muslim men and women, believing men and women, devout men and women, truthful men and women, patient men and women, humble men and women, charitable men and women, fasting men and women;  men and women who guard their chastity, and men and women who remember Allah often, for (all of) them,  Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward. 

33:36 When Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) have decided a matter, it is not for a believing man or a believing woman, to have a choice about it. Anyone who disobeys Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) is clearly misguided. 

33:37 And (remember, O Prophet ﷺ)' when you said to the one for whom Allah has done a favor and you (too) have done a favor, 'Keep your wife and fear Allah,'  while concealing within yourself what Allah was going to reveal. And (so) you were considering the people, whereas Allah was more worthy of your consideration. So when Zaid (رضئ اللہ تعالی عنہ) totally lost interest in (keeping) his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, so that there would be no blame on the believers for marrying the ex-wives of their adopted sons after their divorce. And Allah’s command is totally binding. 

33:38 There is no blame on the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) for doing what Allah has ordained for him. That has been the way of Allah with those (prophets) who had gone before.  And the Command of Allah is a decree preordained.  

33:39 (That is His way with) those (prophets) who deliver the messages of Allah. They fear only Him and  consider Allah as sufficient for  reckoning. 

33:40   Mohammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) is not the father of (any) one of your men, but (he is) the Apostle of Allah and last of the prophets. Allah has knowledge of all things. 

33:41  O' believers, remember Allah and do it more frequently. 

33:42 And glorify him in the morning and evening. 

33:43 He is the One Who showers His blessings upon you, and His angels pray for you, so that He may bring you out of darkness and into light. For He is ever Merciful to the believers. 

33:44 On the Day they meet Him, their greeting will be, 'Peace (be on you O' believers),' and He has prepared a generous reward for them. 

33:45 O' Noble Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), We have sent you as a witness, and a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner. 

33:46 and a caller towards Allah by His permission, and as a lamp spreading light. 

33:47 Give good news to the believers that they will have a great bounty from Allah.  

33:48 (And do) not yield to the disbelievers and the hypocrites' (persistent requests). Overlook their annoyance, and put your trust in Allah. For Allah is sufficient as a Trustee of (all) Affairs.  

33:49 O' believers! If you marry believing women and then divorce them before you touch them, they will have no waiting period for you to count, so give them a (suitable) compensation, and let them go graciously.  

33:50 O' Noble Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), We have made lawful to you,  your wives to whom you have given their due wedding gifts, and those whom your right hand held in trust,  given to you by Allah, and (lawful for you for marriage are) the daughters of your paternal uncles, the daughters of your paternal aunts, the daughters of your maternal uncles and aunts who migrated with you. (Also included in this category are) any believing woman who has offered herself to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) and the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) wishes to marry her. (This is) a privilege (exclusively) for you (of marrying more than 4 wives) and not for the rest of the believers.  We know exactly what We have made obligatory to them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands hold in trust, hence you will not be at fault (if you act according to your privilege), for Allah  is the All Forgiving, Most Merciful.

33:51 (O' Prophet ﷺ) You can postpone (the turn for your company) whom you will, of them (your wives), and you may receive to you whom you will.  There is no blame on you if you desire any of those whom you have set aside (temporarily). It is better that their eyes may be cooled and they don’t grieve, and may be pleased with what you give all of them.   And Allah knows what is in your hearts. Allah is All Knowing, Most  Forbearing.

33:52 (O' Prophet  ﷺ) You are not permitted to take any further wives, nor to exchange the wives you have for others, even if these attract you with their beauty.  But this does not apply to the (captives) whom your right hand possesses.  Allah is watchful over all things.

33:53 O' believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) without permission.  (And if invited) for a meal, do not (come too early and) linger until the meal is ready.  But if you are invited, then enter (on time). Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behavior is truly annoying to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), yet he is too shy to ask you to leave.  But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you (believers) ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Apostle of Allah (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), nor ever marry his wives after him.  This would certainly be a major offense in the sight of Allah.

33:54 Whether you reveal anything or conceal, surely Allah has  knowledge of all things.

33:55 There is no blame on women if they appear (unveiled in their modest dress) in front of their fathers, their sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their familiar women and those whom their right hands possess (slaves).   O' Women, have fear of Allah,  for Allah is a witness to all things.

33:56 Allah and His angels send blessings (and salutations) on Prophet Mohammad : O’ believers Send your salutations and reverence on him, and salute him with all respects.

33:57 Surely those who hurt Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) (by their loose talk), are cursed by Allah in this world and in the hereafter. He has prepared for them a humiliating punishment.

33:58 Those who hurt believing men and women for what they have not done, will bear the guilt of slander and flagrant sin.

33:59 O Prophet (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), ask your wives, daughters, and believing women to draw their cloaks over their bodies. In this way it is more likely that they will be recognized (as virtuous) and not be harassed. And Allah is All Forgiving, Most Merciful.

33:60 If the hypocrites, those in whose hearts there is a disease (of evil desires), and those who spread false rumors among the people of Madinah, do not desist, We shall let you overpower them, then they will not be able to stay in the city as your neighbors but for a little while.

33:61 They will be rejected. Wherever they are found, they will be arrested and put to death.

33:62 That was Allah’s way with those (hypocrites) who have gone before.  And you will find no change in Allah’s way.

33:63 People ask you about the Hour (of Judgment). Say, 'Allah alone has Knowledge of It. You never know; the Hour may be near.'

33:64 The unbelievers have earned Allah's anger, and He has prepared a Blazing Fire for them.

33:65 They will abide therein forever. Neither will they find a protector nor a helper.

33:66 On the Day when their faces are turned over and over in the Fire, they will exclaim, 'woe to us! Would that we had obeyed Allah and obeyed the Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم).'

33:67 And they will say, 'Our Lord! We obeyed our leaders and elite, but they led us astray from the (right) path.

33:68 Our Lord! 'Give them double punishment and lay upon them a mighty curse.'

33:69 O believers! Be not like those who slandered Musa (عليه السلام), but Allah cleared him of what they said, for he was honorable in the sight of Allah.

33:70 O' Believers, be mindful of Allah, and say what is right.

33:71 That He will make your deeds good and upright and forgive your sins. Whoever obeys Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) has surely attained a mighty triumph.

33:72 We had offered the Trust (of divine commandments) to the heavens and the earth, the mountains, but they refrained from bearing the burden and were frightened of it; but man took it on himself. But many of the human beings are unjust and ignorant.

33:73 (This is the reason why) Allah punishes the hypocrites, men and women, as well as the men and women who associate others (idols) with Him.  And why Allah turns mercifully towards the believing men and women, because He is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.

34:1 All praise is for Allah, to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And praise be to Him in the Hereafter. He is the All Wise, All Aware.

34:2 He knows all that goes into the earth and all that comes out of it; and whatever descends from the sky and whatever ascends to it. And He is the Most Merciful, Most Forgiving.

34:3 Those who disbelieve say : 'The Hour (of Judgment) will not come to us.'  Say : 'Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you.  He knows all the unseen.  Not even the weight of an atom escapes from His knowledge in the heavens or in the earth; nor is there anything smaller or greater than that, but is recorded in the Manifest Book.'

34:4 He will reward those who believe and do righteous deeds. They are those for whom there is forgiveness and a generous provision.

34:5 But for those who strive against Our revelations, trying to undermine them, there will be a severe punishment of agonizing pain.

34:6 And those who have been given the knowledge,  can see that the revelations sent to you (O' Apostle  ﷺ) from your Lord are the truth, and that it (the Quran) guides to the Way of (Allah), the Exalted in Might, Owner of all praise.

34:7 The disbelievers say (mockingly to one another), 'Shall we show you a man who claims that when you have been utterly disintegrated (in the grave after death)  you will be raised (again) as a new creation?'

34:8 (And they say) Has he invented a lie about Allah or is he mad?'   Those who do not believe in the Hereafter are extremely misguided. They will receive (severe) punishment (in both the worlds). 

34:9 Have they not seen all that surrounds them of the skies and the earth?  If We willed, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause  pieces of the sky to fall upon them (as punishment). Surely in this is a sign for every servant who turns (to Allah).

34:10 Indeed, We bestowed grace on Dawood (عليه السلام) (saying) : 'O mountains! (echo in) Glorifying (Allah) with him!' The birds also! And We made the iron soft for him,

34:11 (instructing him) 'Make full-length armor, (perfectly) balancing the links.' And 'work (with) righteousness. Indeed, I see  what you (all) do.'

34:12 And [We subjected] the wind to Sulaiman (عليه السلام); its morning course (covered) a month's journey, and its evening course (covered) a month's journey. And We made a fountain of molten copper flow for him. And among the jinn were those who worked for him with his Lord's permission. And whoever of them deviated from Our command, We made them taste the torment of the blaze.

34:13 They made for him whatever he desired of,  sanctuaries, statues, basins as large as reservoirs, and cooking pots fixed (into the ground). (We ordered) : 'Work gratefully, O family of Dawood (عليه السلام)'  (But, Only)  a few of My servants are (truly) grateful.

34:14 When We decreed death for him (Sulaiman عليه السلام  was leaning on his stick), no one informed the jinns of his death until a little termite of the earth chew away his stick (gradually) and he fell down. The jinns realized that if they had the knowledge of the unknown they would never have suffered the demeaning labor.

34:15 Indeed, there was a sign for (the people of) Sheba in their homeland : two orchard, one to the right and the other to the left. (They were told) : 'Eat from the provision of your Lord, and be grateful to Him.   (Yours is) a good land and (your) Lord is forgiving.'

34:16 But they turned away (from Allah). So We sent against them a flood of Arim (released water from the dam), and We converted their two gardens into gardens producing bitter fruits, shrubs, and a few (sparse) thorny trees.

34:17 This is how We punished them because they were ungrateful (disbelievers). And We never punish except those who are ungrateful.

34:18 We had placed between them and the towns We had blessed other towns within sight of one another to which they could easily have traveled, 'Travel safely between them by night or day.'

34:19 But (they complained), 'Our Lord has made the distance between our staging posts so long.' (In so doing) they wronged themselves, so We made their fate a tale for all and scattered them in small groups throughout the land.  There are certainly signs in this for everyone patient and grateful.

34:20 Indeed, Satan's assumption about them has come true, so they (all) follow him, except a group of (true) believers.

34:21 Even though Satan had no authority over them, it all happened because We wanted to see who among them believed in the Hereafter and who is in doubt concerning it. Your Lord is watching over all things.

34:22 (O' Prophet  ﷺ), Tell the pagans : 'Call on those deities whom you pray besides Allah,  they do not have power over an atom’s weight of anything in the heavens or earth, nor have they any share in either, nor does He need any assistant from among them.

34:23 And intercession does not benefit with Him except for the one whom He permits. (And those wait) until, when terror is removed from their hearts, (and permission for intercession is granted) they will say (to one another), "What has your Lord said?" They will say, "The truth." And He is the Most High and Great.

34:24  (O' Prophet  ﷺ), ask them : 'Who provides your sustenance from the heavens and the earth?' (If they do not answer, then) say : 'It is Allah. Certainly one of us; either we or you are rightly guided or in manifest error.'

34:25  Say, 'You will not be asked about what we have done, and we will not be asked about what you do.' (Everyone will be responsible for their deeds)

34:26  Say, '(On the Day of Judgment) our Lord will bring us together. Then He will settle all matters between us,  fairly and equitably. He is the All Knowing Judge!'

34:27  Say, 'Show me those you have installed as His partners. No. (They are all idols created by you.)  He (alone) is Allah , the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

34:28  And We have sent you (O' Apostle ﷺ) as a bearer of glad tidings and a Warner for all mankind, but most of people do not know.

34:29  And they ask, 'When will this threat (of punishment) come to pass, if what you say is true?'

34:30  Say, (O Prophet ﷺ), 'A Day has (already) been appointed for you, which you can neither delay nor advance by a  moment.'

34:31  Those who deny the truth say, 'We will never believe in this Quran or in what came before it.'   But if only you could see when the unjust are made to stand before their Lord (on the day of Resurrection), blaming each other; those who were considered weak will say to those who had been arrogant, 'Had it not been for you, we would have been believers.'

34:32  Those who had been arrogant will say to those who they deemed to be weak, 'Did we prevent you from following the right guidance after it had come to you? Rather, you (yourselves have) rejected that.'

34:33  Those who had been thought weak will say to those who had been arrogant, 'Rather, it was your scheming, night and day, ordering us to deny Allah and attribute equals to Him.'   But when they all see the punishment (that awaits them), they will not be able to express their remorse. We will put shackles around the necks of those who rejected the truth, and they will be repaid only for what they have done.

34:34  And whenever We have sent a Warner (Prophet) to a town, its wealthy people said : 'Surely we don’t believe in (the message) what you are sent with.'

34:35  Adding, 'we are far superior in wealth and children, and we will never be punished.'

34:36  Say (O' Apostle ﷺ), ‘My Lord gives in abundance to whoever He wills and sparingly to whoever He wills, though most people do not understand.

34:37  It is neither your wealth nor children that bring you closer to Us.  But those who believe and do good, it is they who will have multiple reward for what they did, and they will live in (elevated) mansions (in Paradise).

34:38 Whereas those who work against Our verses, seeking to undermine them, will be summoned for punishment.

34:39 Say (O Prophet ﷺ) : 'Surely my Lord gives abundantly to whom He wills and sparingly to whom He wills.   Whatever you spend in charity, He will pay you back.   He is the best of those who provide sustenance.

34:40 And on the day when He will gather them all together, and then ask the angels, 'Was it you that these (polytheists) used to worship?'

34:41 They (angels) will say : 'Glory be to You! You are our protector not them. Nay, but they used to worship the Jinns; most of them were believers in them.'

34:42 So today (the Day of Resurrection) none of you has power to profit or harm one another.  And We shall say to those who did wrong : 'Taste the punishment of the Fire which you denied.'

34:43 When our clear verses are recited to them, they say (to each other), 'This is only a man who wants to turn you away from what your ancestors worshiped.' They (also) say, 'This is only a lie that he has invented.'  When the Truth comes to them, they say, 'This is nothing but sorcery,'

34:44 (even) though We have not given them any Books to study nor sent any one (prophet) before you, to warn them.

34:45 Those (who were destroyed) before them,  denied as well.  And these (polytheists) have not attained even one-tenth of (of the prosperity) what We had given to their predecessors. Yet (when) they denied My Apostles, how severe was My response!

34:46 Tell them (O' Prophet ﷺ) : 'I urge you on one thing only,  that you stand up for Allah’s sake in pairs and individually, and then ponder (over my history as I was born and raised among you). Has there been any madness in your companion (Muhammad ﷺ)? He is only a Warner to you before a severe punishment.'

34:47 Say : 'The reward I ask,  is for yourselves (only). My reward is due from none but Allah; and He is witness over everything.'

34:48 Say, 'Surely my Lord hurls the truth (against falsehood). (He is) the Knower of all Unseen.'

34:49 Say, 'The truth has come, and falsehood will vanish, never to return.'

34:50 Say : 'If I am in error it is to my own loss; if I am on guidance,  it is so because of what my Lord reveals to me. He is All Hearing and All  Near.'

34:51 If only you could see when they will be horrified with no escape (on the day of Judgment)! And they will be seized from a nearby place.

34:52 They will (then) cry, 'We do (now) believe in it (all).' But how could they (possibly) attain faith from a place so far-off  (from the world),

34:53 while they had already rejected it before, guessing blindly from a place (equally) far-away (from the Hereafter)?

34:54 And a barrier will be placed between them and what they desired (by turning to Allah in repentance at that time), as was done before with the people of their kind.   Surely, they were in grave doubt.

35:1 All praise is for Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who has made angels with 2, 3 or 4 (pairs of) wings as Messengers. He adds to creation as He wills. Surely, Allah has power over all things.

35:2 There is none who can take away the favors He has bestowed on people; and there is none, apart from Him, to restore what He has withheld. He is the Almighty, All Wise.

35:3 (O' Mankind) Remember the Grace of Allah upon you! Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? There is no one worthy of worship but He. So (reflect upon) what lies are you inventing?

35:4 And if they deny you (O' Apostle ﷺ, it is not new), surely Apostles were denied before you. And to Allah all matters return (for decision).

35:5 O' Mankind! Certainly the promise of Allah is true. Therefore let not the life of this world deceive you nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah.

35:6 Surely, Satan is an enemy to you, so take him as an enemy. He only invites his followers so that they may become (his co-inmates) in the blazing Fire.

35:7 Those who disbelieve will have severe punishment, while those who believe and act good will have forgiveness and great reward.

35:8 Are those,  whose evil deeds are made appealing to them so they consider these evil deeds as good  (like those who are rightly guided and feel good about their righteous deeds)? (It is) certainly Allah (Who) leaves astray whoever He wills, and guides whoever He wills.  So (O' Prophet ﷺ) do not grieve yourself to death over them.   Surely Allah is aware of what they do.

35:9 It is Allah who sends the winds, which lift the clouds, which We then drive to a dead land and thereby bring the earth to life after its death.   Such is the Resurrection.

35:10 The one who covets (and strives for) honor and glory (should know that) the honor and might belong entirely to Allah. The worthy word of prayer ascends up to reach Him. The righteous deeds make it rise. As for those who plot evil, they will suffer a severe punishment. And the plotting of such (people˺) is doomed (to fail).

35:11 And (it is) Allah (Who) created you from dust, then (developed you) from a sperm-drop, then made you into pairs. No female ever conceives or delivers without His knowledge.  And no one’s life is made long or cut short but is (written) in a Record.  That is certainly easy for Allah.

35:12 The two bodies of water are not alike: one is fresh, palatable, and pleasant to drink and the other is salty and bitter. Yet from them both,  you eat tender food and extract ornaments to wear. And you see the ships sailing their way through both, so you may seek His bounty and be grateful (to Him).

35:13 He merges the night into the day and the day into the night,, and He has made the sun and the moon to serve you; each one follows its course for an appointed term. Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the kingdom; and those to whom you pray besides Him, do not even own a thread of a date-stone.

35:14 You pray to them, but they do not hear your call; and even if they heard you, they could not answer your prayer; and on the Day of Resurrection they will deny you having worshiped them. None can acquaint you (with the reality) as He, who is informed of everything (Allah).

35:15 O' Mankind! It is you who stand in need of Allah, while Allah  is (absolutely independent), Self-Sufficient and Praiseworthy.

35:16 If He willed, He could eliminate you and produce a new creation (in your place).

35:17 And that is not difficult for Allah (at all).

35:18 No bearer of burdens will bear the burdens of another. And if a sin-burdened person cries for help with his burden, none of it will be carried even by a close relative. You (O Prophet  ﷺ) can only warn those who stand in awe of their Lord without seeing Him and establish Salah. Whoever purifies themselves, they only do so for their own good.  And to Allah is the final return (of everyone).

35:19 The blind and the seeing are not alike,

35:20 nor are the depth of darkness and the light);

35:21 nor are the (chilly) shade and the (genial - gracious) heat of the sun, 

35:22 nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead, Allah (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) can make any, that He wills, to hear, but you (O’ Prophet - صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) cannot make those hear who are  in graves.

35:23 You (O' Apostle  ﷺ) are not, but a Warner.

35:24 Certainly We have sent you (O' Apostle  ﷺ) with the Truth as a bearer of glad tidings and as a Warner, for there has not been a nation which has not had a Warner.

35:25 If they deny you, so did those before them (who denied their Apostles). Their Apostles came to them with clear proofs, divine Books, and enlightening Scriptures.

35:26 Then I seized the ones who denied the truth, and how (terrible) was My punishment.

35:27 Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky with which We bring forth fruits of various colors? Similarly, in the mountains there are streaks of various shades of rocks, including white, red,  jet-black.

35:28 And likewise, men, beasts, and cattle have various colors. It is only those among His servants who have knowledge, fear Allah. Surely, Allah is Almighty, and Most Forgiving.

35:29 Surely those who recite the Book of Allah,  establish Salah, and do charity from what We have provided them, secretly and openly, expect for a recompense that will never fail.

35:30 He will give them their recompense in full and give them more out of His Grace.  Surely, He is Most Forgiving, and Appreciates (those who are grateful).

35:31 The Book We have revealed to you (O Prophet ﷺ) is the truth, confirming what came before it.   Surely Allah is  aware of His servants and Sees every thing.

35:32 Then We gave the book (the Quran) as an inheritance to those of Our servants (Muslims) whom We have chosen. Among them there are some who wrong their own selves, some of them follow a middle course, and some of them are foremost in good deeds by Allah's blessings. That is the great favor (indeed).

35:33 They will enter the gardens of Eden where they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments will be silk therein.

35:34 And they will say, 'Praise be to Allah, Who has kept away from us all (causes of) sorrow. Our Lord is indeed All Forgiving, and appreciates those who are grateful.'

35:35 'He has settled us in the everlasting Home out of His favor, where no weariness or fatigue will touch us.'

35:36 But those who disbelieve, there will be fire of Hell for them. Neither it (fire) will be completed on them so that they die, nor shall its punishment be lightened for them. Thus We do pay back every disbeliever!

35:37 They will cry therein : 'Our Lord! Get us out, (from now) we shall do righteous deeds and shall not repeat that (evil deeds) which we used to do.' (It will be told) : 'Did We not give you lives long enough so that whoever would, could receive warning therein? And the Warner came to you. So taste (the punishment for the evil you did), there is no helper for the wrongdoers.'

35:38 Allah knows all the unseen of the heavens and earth; He (also) knows what is in the hearts.

35:39 It is He Who has made you vicegerent on the earth.  (Disregarding this high favor of Allah) Whoever disbelieves, bears the burden of his disbelief; and for the disbelievers their disbelief does not increase anything except the wrath of their Lord.  The disbelievers do not gain anything except that their denial will only contribute to their loss.

35:40 Ask them (O Prophet  ﷺ) : 'Have you ever considered about your associate gods,  to whom you call upon besides Allah? Show me anything that they have created on earth!  Or what is their share in the creation of the heavens? Or have We given them (the disbelievers) a Book from which they derive the provision for shirk? Nay, in fact the wrongdoers promise each other nothing but delusions.

35:41 Allah keeps a firm hold on the heavens and earth, preventing them from vanishing away.   And if they vanished no one could then keep hold of them.   Certainly He is Most Forbearing, All Forgiving.

35:42 And (before the advent of Prophet Mohammad  ﷺ) they swore by Allah their most binding oath that if a Warner ever comes to them, they would be more guided than any of the nations (before them).   (But) when the Warner (the Prophet ﷺ) did come to them, they turned further away,

35:43 behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil.  But evil plotting only backfires on those who plot.  Are they awaiting anything but the fate of those (destroyed) before? You will find no change in the way of Allah, nor will you find it altered (for some people).

35:44 Have they not traveled through the land to see what was the end of those (who were destroyed) before them? They were far superior in might. But there is nothing that can escape Allah in the heavens or on the earth. He is certainly All Knowing, Most Powerful.

35:45 If Allah were to punish people (instantly) for what they have committed, He would not have left a single living being on earth.  But He delays them for an appointed term.  And when their time arrives, they surely will realize that Allah is All Seer of His servants.

36:1 Yaseen

36:2 By the Wise Quran.

36:3 Truly, (O' Mohammad  ﷺ) you are one of the Apostles (of Allah),

36:4 upon the straight path.

36:5 (And this is) a revelation from the Almighty, Most Merciful,

36:6 to warn the people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are heedless.

36:7 In fact, the Word has been proven true against most of them who are arrogant; so they do not believe.

36:8 We have put shackles round their necks, reaching to their chins, so that their heads are forced up,

36:9 and We have put a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, and then We have covered them up so they cannot see.

36:10 And (therefore) it is all the same to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they won't believe.

36:11 You can only warn those who follow the Reminder (the Quran) and are in awe of the Most Compassionate (Lord) without seeing Him.  So give them good news of forgiveness and an honorable reward.

36:12 Surely We shall resurrect the dead, We are recording all that they are sending ahead and that they are leaving behind. We have taken record of all things in a book (of evidence).

36:13 And give them the example of the people whose town was visited by the Apostles.

36:14 When We first sent them two (Apostles),  they denied them, We reinforced them with a third, and they said : 'Surely we are Apostles sent to you (with Allah's Message).'

36:15 But the people replied : 'You are but humans like us. The Compassionate (Lord) has revealed nothing; you are surely lying.'

36:16 The Apostles responded, 'Our Lord knows that we have truly been sent to you,'

36:17 and our responsibility is to convey the message clearly.'

36:18 The people replied, 'We definitely see you as a bad omen for us. If you do not desist, we will certainly stone you (to death) and you will receive  a painful punishment from us.'

36:19 The Apostles said, 'Your bad omen lies within yourselves. Are you saying this because you are reminded  (of the truth)?  In fact, you are a transgressing people.'

36:20 And there came a man running from the farthest part of the town and said : 'O my people,  follow the Apostles.'

36:21 Follow those who do not ask you for (any) payment; they are (rightly) guided.
