The Rock · Surah 15

And we gave them Our revelations, but they were averse to them

And they used to hew out dwellings from the hills, (wherein they dwelt) secure

But the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the morning hour

And that which they were wont to count as gain availed them not

We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with truth, and lo! the Hour is surely coming. So forgive, (O Muhammad), with a gracious forgiveness

Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All-Wise Creator

We have given thee seven of the oft-repeated (verses) and the great Qur'an

Strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoin, and be not grieved on their account, and lower thy wing (in tenderness) for the believers

And say: Lo! I, even I, am a plain warner

Such as We send down for those who make division

Those who break the Qur'an into parts

Them, by thy Lord, We shall question, every one

Of what they used to do

So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters

Lo! We defend thee from the scoffers

Who set some other god along with Allah. But they will come to know

Well know We that thy bosom is oppressed by what they say

But hymn the praise of thy Lord, and be of those who make prostration (unto Him)

And serve thy Lord till the Inevitable cometh unto thee
