الأنبياء

[The time of] their account has approached for the people, while they are in heedlessness turning away. ^[1]

No mention comes to them anew from their Lord except that they listen to it while they are at play ^[2]

With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?" ^[3]

The Prophet said, "My Lord knows whatever is said throughout the heaven and earth, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing." ^[4]

But they say, "[The revelation is but] a mixture of false dreams; rather, he has invented it; rather, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign just as the previous [messengers] were sent [with miracles]." ^[5]

Not a [single] city which We destroyed believed before them, so will they believe? ^[6]

And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message if you do not know. ^[7]

And We did not make the prophets forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth]. ^[8]

Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors. ^[9]

We have certainly sent down to you a Book in which is your mention. Then will you not reason? ^[10]

And how many a city which was unjust have We shattered and produced after it another people. ^[11]

And when its inhabitants perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it. ^[12]

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned." ^[13]

They said, "O woe to us! Indeed, we were wrongdoers." ^[14]

And that declaration of theirs did not cease until We made them [as] a harvest [mowed down], extinguished [like a fire]. ^[15]

And We did not create the heaven and earth and that between them in play. ^[16]

Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so. ^[17]

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe. ^[18]

To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire. ^[19]

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken. ^[20]
