21:1Mankind’s reckoning has drawn near, but they turn away heedlessly.

21:7We did not send before you except men, whom We inspired. Ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.

21:15This continued to be their cry, until We made them silent ashes.

21:26And they say, “The Most Merciful has taken to himself a son.” Be He glorified; they are but honored servants.

21:27They never speak before He has spoken, and they only act on His command.

21:30Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were one mass, and We tore them apart? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not believe?

21:31And We placed on earth stabilizers, lest it sways with them, and We placed therein signposts and passages, that they may be guided.

21:35Every soul will taste death. We burden you with adversity and prosperity—a test. And to Us you will be returned.

21:37The human being was created of haste. I will show you My signs, so do not seek to rush Me.

21:47We will set up the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so that no soul will suffer the least injustice. And even if it be the weight of a mustard-seed, We will bring it up. Sufficient are We as Reckoners.

21:63He said, “But it was this biggest of them that did it. Ask them, if they can speak.”

21:65But they reverted to their old ideas: “You certainly know that these do not speak.”

21:72And We granted him Isaac and Jacob as a gift; and each We made righteous.

21:75And We admitted him into Our mercy; for He was one of the righteous.

21:76And Noah, when he called before. So We answered him, and delivered him and his family from the great disaster.

21:78And David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the case of the field, when some people’s sheep wandered therein by night; and We were witnesses to their judgment.

21:79And so We made Solomon understand it, and to each We gave wisdom and knowledge. And We subjected the mountains along with David to sing Our praises, and the birds as well—surely We did.

21:82And of the devils were some that dived for him, and performed other, lesser tasks. But We kept them restrained.

21:83And Job, when he cried out to his Lord: “Great harm has afflicted me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful.”

21:85And Ishmael, and Enoch, and Ezekiel; each was one of the steadfast.

21:87And Jonah, when he stormed out in fury, thinking We had no power over him. But then He cried out in the darkness, “There is no god but You! Glory to You! I was one of the wrongdoers!”

21:97The promise of truth has drawn near. The eyes of those who disbelieved will stare in horror: “Woe to us. We were oblivious to this. In fact, we were wrongdoers.”

21:101As for those who deserved goodness from Us—these will be kept away from it.

21:104On the Day when We fold the heaven, like the folding of a book. Just as We began the first creation, We will repeat it—a promise binding on Us. We will act.

21:107We did not send you except as mercy to mankind.
