The Valley of Hijr -Al-Hijr
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
	1		[ 15. 1 ] AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Book, the Clear Koran.
	2		[ 15. 2 ] It could be that those who disbelieve will wish that they were Muslims.
	3		[ 15. 3 ] Let them eat and enjoy; and let their hopes deceive them, soon they shall know.
	4		[ 15. 4 ] We never destroyed a village whose term had not already been decreed.
	5		[ 15. 5 ] No nation can outstrip its term, nor do they put it back.
	6		[ 15. 6 ] They say: 'You to whom the Remembrance is sent down, you are indeed mad.
	7		[ 15. 7 ] Why do you not bring down the angels, if what you say is true.'
	8		[ 15. 8 ] We do not send angels except with the truth. Then they shall have no respite.
	9		[ 15. 9 ] It is We who sent down the Koran, and We watch over it.
	10		[ 15. 10 ] We have sent forth before you Messengers among the factions of the ancients.
	11		[ 15. 11 ] But no Messenger came to them except he was mocked.
	12		[ 15. 12 ] So We make it enter the hearts of the sinners.
	13		[ 15. 13 ] They do not believe in it even though the practice of the ancients has already gone.
	14		[ 15. 14 ] If We opened a gate in the heaven and they kept ascending through it,
	15		[ 15. 15 ] still they would say: 'Our eyes were dazzled; truly, we must have been a bewitched people.'
	16		[ 15. 16 ] We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders,
	17		[ 15. 17 ] and guarded them from every stoned satan.
	18		[ 15. 18 ] Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a visible flame.
	19		[ 15. 19 ] We have spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains. Everything We have caused to grow therein is justly weighed;
	20		[ 15. 20 ] and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide.
	21		[ 15. 21 ] And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasuries, and We do not send it down except in a known measure.
	22		[ 15. 22 ] We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers.
	23		[ 15. 23 ] And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the Inheritor.
	24		[ 15. 24 ] We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards,
	25		[ 15. 25 ] and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing.
	26		[ 15. 26 ] We created mankind from clay, molded from mud,
	27		[ 15. 27 ] and before him We created the jinn from smokeless fire.
	28		[ 15. 28 ] When your Lord said to the angels: 'See, I am creating a mortal from clay of molded mud.
	29		[ 15. 29 ] When I have shaped him and ran My created soul in him fall down prostrating towards him'.
	30		[ 15. 30 ] All the angels prostrated themselves,
	31		[ 15. 31 ] except iblis ( father of the jinn ) who refused to be one of those who prostrated themselves.
	32		[ 15. 32 ] He said: 'iblis, what is the matter with you, that you do you not prostrate yourself?'
	33		[ 15. 33 ] He replied: 'I will not prostrate to a mortal You have created of clay, from molded mud.'
	34		[ 15. 34 ] ( Allah ) said: 'Begone, you are accursed!
	35		[ 15. 35 ] A curse shall be on you till the Day of Recompense.'
	36		[ 15. 36 ] He said: 'My Lord, reprieve me till the Day they are raised.'
	37		[ 15. 37 ] He answered: 'You are among those reprieved
	38		[ 15. 38 ] till the appointed time.
	39		[ 15. 39 ] ( satan ) said: 'My Lord, for Your perverting me, I shall make ( matters ) in the earth seem most fair to them and I shall pervert all,
	40		[ 15. 40 ] except the devoted amongst Your worshippers.
	41		[ 15. 41 ] He ( Allah ) said: 'This is for Me the Right Path
	42		[ 15. 42 ] over My worshipers you have no authority, except the perverse that follow you.
	43		[ 15. 43 ] Gehenna ( Hell ) will be the promise for all of them.
	44		[ 15. 44 ] It has seven gates, and through each gate a portion of them belong.
	45		[ 15. 45 ] But the cautious shall live amongst gardens and fountains:
	46		[ 15. 46 ] 'In peace and security, enter them!'
	47		[ 15. 47 ] We shall remove all rancor from their hearts, and as brethren they shall recline on couches face to face.
	48		[ 15. 48 ] There, no fatigue shall smite them, nor shall they ever be driven from it.'
	49		[ 15. 49 ] Tell My worshipers that I am the Forgiving, the Most Merciful,
	50		[ 15. 50 ] and that My punishment is the painful chastisement.
	51		[ 15. 51 ] Tell them of Abraham's guests.
	52		[ 15. 52 ] They entered to him and said: 'Peace,' but he replied: 'We are afraid of you.'
	53		[ 15. 53 ] 'Do not be afraid,' they answered. 'We come to give you glad tidings of a knowledgeable child.'
	54		[ 15. 54 ] He said: 'What is this, do you bring me glad tidings even though I am old?' Of what do you give me glad tidings?'
	55		[ 15. 55 ] They replied: 'In truth we have given you glad tidings, do not be one of those who despair.'
	56		[ 15. 56 ] He replied: 'And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, except those that are astray?
	57		[ 15. 57 ] He asked: 'Messengers, what is your errand?'
	58		[ 15. 58 ] They replied: 'We are sent to sinful nation.
	59		[ 15. 59 ] Except Lot's family, of whom we shall save all,
	60		[ 15. 60 ] but his wife. We decreed that she should be amongst those who remain behind.
	61		[ 15. 61 ] And when the envoys came to the family of Lot,
	62		[ 15. 62 ] he said to them: 'I do not know you.'
	63		[ 15. 63 ] 'No,' they replied: 'We bring you ( news ) of that concerning which they were doubting.
	64		[ 15. 64 ] We bring you the truth, and indeed we are truthful.
	65		[ 15. 65 ] Depart with your family in a part of the night and walk behind them and let none of you turn round. Go to a place where you are commanded.'
	66		[ 15. 66 ] And We made known to him this decree that the wrongdoers were to be utterly cut off in the morning.
	67		[ 15. 67 ] The people of the city came to him rejoicing.
	68		[ 15. 68 ] He said: 'These are my guests; do not shame me.
	69		[ 15. 69 ] Fear Allah and do not disgrace me.'
	70		[ 15. 70 ] They replied: 'Have we not forbidden you ( the people of ) the worlds?'
	71		[ 15. 71 ] He said: 'Here are my daughters; take them ( in marriage ), if you would be doing.'
	72		[ 15. 72 ] By your life, they wandered blindly in their dazzlement.
	73		[ 15. 73 ] At sunrise a dreadful Shout seized them.
	74		[ 15. 74 ] We laid it ( the city ) upside down and rained stones of baked clay upon them.
	75		[ 15. 75 ] Surely, in that there are signs for those who contemplate.
	76		[ 15. 76 ] Indeed, it is on a way which still exists.
	77		[ 15. 77 ] Surely, in that there is a sign for those who believe.
	78		[ 15. 78 ] The dwellers of the Thicket were harmdoers.
	79		[ 15. 79 ] On them, too, We took vengeance, and they are both on a clear roadway.
	80		[ 15. 80 ] And the dwellers of Al Hijr also belied the Messengers.
	81		[ 15. 81 ] We brought them signs, but they turned away.
	82		[ 15. 82 ] They hewed their dwellings out of the mountains in safety.
	83		[ 15. 83 ] But the Shout seized them in the morning,
	84		[ 15. 84 ] and that which they had earned did not help them.
	85		[ 15. 85 ] We did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them except in truth. The Hour is sure to come, therefore, forgive them with a gracious pardon.
	86		[ 15. 86 ] Your Lord is the Creator, the Knower.
	87		[ 15. 87 ] We have given you the seven dual ( verses, Al Fatihah ) and the Mighty Holy Reading ( Koran ).
	88		[ 15. 88 ] Do not stretch your eyes to that We have given pairs of them to enjoy, nor sorrow for them, and lower your wing to the believers.
	89		[ 15. 89 ] And say: 'I am the plain warner.'
	90		[ 15. 90 ] So We sent it down to the partitioners,
	91		[ 15. 91 ] who have broken the Koran into parts,
	92		[ 15. 92 ] so by your Lord, We will question them all
	93		[ 15. 93 ] about what they did.
	94		[ 15. 94 ] Proclaim then, what you are commanded and turn away from the unbelievers.
	95		[ 15. 95 ] We suffice you against those who mock,
	96		[ 15. 96 ] and those who set up other gods with Allah, indeed, they will soon know.
	97		[ 15. 97 ] Indeed, We know your chest is straitened by that they say.
	98		[ 15. 98 ] Exalt with the praise of your Lord and be one of those who prostrate.
	99		[ 15. 99 ] Worship your Lord till the certainty ( death ) comes to you.
