18:2Valuable—to warn of severe punishment from Himself; and to deliver good news to the believers who do righteous deeds, that they will have an excellent reward.

18:3In which they will abide forever.

18:8And We will turn what is on it into barren waste.

18:14And We strengthened their hearts, when they stood up and said, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth; we will not call on any god besides Him, for then we would have spoken an outrage.”

18:16“Now that you have withdrawn from them, and from what they worship besides God, take shelter in the cave. And your Lord will unfold His mercy for you, and will set your affair towards ease.”

18:17You would have seen the sun, when it rose, veering away from their cave towards the right, and when it sets, moving away from them to the left, as they lay in the midst of the cave. That was one of God’s wonders. He whom God guides is truly guided; but he whom He misguides, for him you will find no directing friend.

18:20“If they discover you, they will stone you, or force you back into their religion; then you will never be saved.”

18:21So it was, that We caused them to be discovered, that they would know that the promise of God is true, and that of the Hour there is no doubt. As they were disputing their case among themselves, they said, “Build over them a building.” Their Lord knows best about them. Those who prevailed over their case said, “We will set up over them a place of worship.”

18:22They will say, “Three, and their fourth being their dog.” And they will say, “Five, and their sixth being their dog,” guessing at the unknown. And they will say, “Seven, and their eighth being their dog.” Say, “My Lord knows best their number.” None knows them except a few. So do not argue concerning them except with an obvious argument, and do not consult any of them about them.

18:23And never say about anything, “I will do that tomorrow.”

18:24Without saying, “If God wills.” And remember your Lord if you forget, and say, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to nearer than this in integrity.”

18:27And recite what was revealed to you from the Book of your Lord. There is no changing His words, and you will find no refuge except in Him.

18:29And say, “The truth is from your Lord. Whoever wills—let him believe. And whoever wills—let him disbelieve”. We have prepared for the unjust a Fire, whose curtains will hem them in. And when they cry for relief, they will be relieved with water like molten brass, which scalds the faces. What a miserable drink, and what a terrible place.

18:30As for those who believe and lead a righteous life—We will not waste the reward of those who work righteousness.

18:31These will have the Gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow. Reclining on comfortable furnishings, they will be adorned with bracelets of gold, and will wear green garments of silk and brocade. What a wonderful reward, and what an excellent resting-place.

18:35And he entered his garden, wronging himself. He said, “I do not think this will ever perish.”

18:36“And I do not think the Hour is coming. And even if I am returned to my Lord, I will find something better than this in return.”

18:39When you entered your garden, why did you not say, “As God wills; there is no power except through God”? Although you see me inferior to you in wealth and children.

18:40Perhaps my Lord will give me something better than your garden, and release upon it thunderbolts from the sky, so it becomes barren waste.

18:41Or its water will sink into the ground, and you will be unable to draw it.”

18:48They will be presented before your Lord in a row. “You have come to Us as We created you the first time. Although you claimed We would not set a meeting for you.”

18:49And the book will be placed, and you will see the sinners fearful of its contents. And they will say, “Woe to us! What is with this book that leaves nothing, small or big, but it has enumerated it?” They will find everything they had done present. Your Lord does not wrong anyone.

18:50We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam.” So they bowed down, except for Satan. He was of the jinn, and he defied the command of his Lord. Will you take him and his offspring as lords instead of Me, when they are an enemy to you? Evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.

18:52On the Day when He will say, “Call on My partners whom you have claimed.” They will call on them, but they will not answer them. And We will place between them a barrier.

18:53And the sinners will see the Fire, and will realize that they will tumble into it. They will find no deliverance from it.

18:57Who does greater wrong than he, who, when reminded of his Lord’s revelations, turns away from them, and forgets what his hands have put forward? We have placed coverings over their hearts, lest they understand it, and heaviness in their ears. And if you call them to guidance, they will not be guided, ever.

18:58Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.

18:60Recall when Moses said to his servant, “I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two rivers, even if it takes me years.”

18:67He said, “You will not be able to endure with me.

18:68And how will you endure what you have no knowledge of?”

18:69He said, “You will find me, God willing, patient; and I will not disobey you in any order of yours.”

18:72He said, “Did I not tell you that you will not be able to endure with me?”

18:75He said, “Did I not tell you that you will not be able to endure with me?”

18:78He said, “This is the parting between you and me. I will tell you the interpretation of what you were unable to endure.

18:83And they ask you about Zul-Qarnain. Say, “I will tell you something about him.”

18:87He said, “As for him who does wrong, we will penalize him, then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with an unheard-of torment.

18:88“But as for him who believes and acts righteously, he will have the finest reward, and We will speak to him of Our command with ease.”

18:95He said, “What my Lord has empowered me with is better. But assist me with strength, and I will build between you and them a dam.”

18:98He said, “This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes true, He will turn it into rubble, and the promise of my Lord is always true.”

18:99On that Day, We will leave them surging upon one another. And the Trumpet will be blown, and We will gather them together.

18:100On that Day, We will present the disbelievers to Hell, all displayed.

18:105It is they who rejected the communications of their Lord, and the encounter with Him. So their works are in vain. And on the Day of Resurrection, We will consider them of no weight.

18:107As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, they will have the Gardens of Paradise for hospitality.
