The Prophets · Surah 21

And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by his command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are Aware

And of the evil ones (subdued We unto him) some who dived (for pearls) for him and did other work, and We were warders unto them

And Job, when he cried unto his Lord, (saying): Lo! adversity afflicteth me, and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy

Then We heard his prayer and removed that adversity from which he suffered, and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Our store, and a remembrance for the worshippers

And (mention) Ishmael, and Idris, and Dhu'l-Kifl. All were of the steadfast

And We brought them in unto Our mercy. Lo! they are among the righteous

And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer

Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus we save believers

And Zachariah, when he cried unto his Lord: My Lord! Leave me not childless, though Thou art the Best of inheritors

Then We heard his prayer, and bestowed upon him John, and adjusted his wife (to bear a child) for him. Lo! they used to vie one with the other in good deeds, and they cried unto Us in longing and in fear, and were submissive unto Us

And she who was chaste, therefor We breathed into her (something) of Our Spirit and made her and her son a token for (all) peoples

Lo! this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so worship Me

And they have broken their religion (into fragments) among them, (yet) all are returning unto Us

Then whoso doeth some good works and is a believer, there will be no rejection of his effort. Lo! We record (it) for him

And there is a ban upon any community which We have destroyed: that they shall not return

Until, when Gog and Magog are let loose, and they hasten out of every mound

And the True Promise draweth nigh; then behold them, staring wide (in terror), the eyes of those who disbelieve! (They say): Alas for us! We (lived) in forgetfulness of this. Ah, but we were wrong-doers

Lo! ye (idolaters) and that which ye worship beside Allah are fuel of hell. Thereunto ye will come

If these had been gods they would not have come thither, but all will abide therein

Therein wailing is their portion, and therein they hear not

Lo! those unto whom kindness hath gone forth before from Us, they will be far removed from thence

They will not hear the slightest sound thereof, while they abide in that which their souls desire

The Supreme Horror will not grieve them, and the angels will welcome them, (saying): This is your Day which ye were promised

The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it

And verily we have written in the Scripture, after the Reminder: My righteous slaves will inherit the earth

Lo! there is a plain statement for folk who are devout

We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples

Say: It is only inspired in me that your Allah is One Allah. Will ye then surrender (unto Him)

But if they are averse, then say: I have warned you all alike, although I know not whether nigh or far is that which ye are promised

Lo! He knoweth that which is said openly, and that which ye conceal

And I know not but that this may be a trial for you, and enjoyment for a while

He saith: My Lord! Judge Thou with truth. Our Lord is the Beneficent, Whose help is to be implored against that which ye ascribe (unto Him)
