21:2No fresh reminder comes to them from their Lord, but they listen to it playfully.

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

21:8We did not make them mere bodies that ate no food, nor were they immortal.

21:9Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, and We saved them together with whomever We willed, and We destroyed the extravagant.

21:10We have sent down to you a Book, containing your message. Do you not understand?

21:13Do not run, but come back to your luxuries, and to your homes, that you may be questioned.

21:16We did not create the sky and the earth and what is between them for amusement.

21:17If We wanted amusement, We could have found it within Us, were We to do so.

21:24Or have they taken, besides Him, other gods? Say, “Bring your proof. This is a message for those with me, and a message of those before me.” But most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away.

21:25We never sent a messenger before you without inspiring him that: “There is no god but I, so worship Me.”

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

21:36When those who disbelieve see you, they treat you only with ridicule: “Is this the one who mentions your gods?” And they reject the mention of the Merciful.

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

21:38And they say, “When will this promise come true, if you are truthful?”

21:40In fact, it will come upon them suddenly, and bewilder them. They will not be able to repel it, and they will not be reprieved.

21:41Messengers before you were also ridiculed, but those who jeered were surrounded by what they had ridiculed.

21:42Say, “Who guards you against the Merciful by night and by day?” But they turn away from the mention of their Lord.

21:44We have given these enjoyments, and their ancestors, until time grew long upon them. Do they not see how We gradually reduce the land from its extremities? Are they then the victors?

21:46And when a breath of your Lord’s punishment touches them, they say, “Woe to us, we were truly wicked.”

21:50This too is a blessed message that We revealed. Are you going to deny it?

21:51We gave Abraham his integrity formerly, and We knew him well.

21:60They said, “We heard a youth mentioning them. He is called Abraham.”

21:74And Lot—We gave him judgment and knowledge, and We delivered him from the town that practiced the abominations. They were wicked and perverted people.

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

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.

21:82And 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.”

21:84So We answered him, lifted his suffering, and restored his family to him, and their like with them—a mercy from Us, and a reminder for the worshipers.

21:86And We admitted them into Our mercy. They were among the righteous.

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!”

21:89And Zechariah, when he called out to his Lord, “My Lord, do not leave me alone, even though you are the Best of heirs.”

21:92This community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord, so worship Me.

21:103The Supreme Fear will not worry them, and the angels will receive them: “This is your Day which you were promised.”

21:106Indeed, in this is a message for people who worship.

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

21:108Say, “It is revealed to me that your God is One God. Are you going to submit?”

21:109But if they turn away, say, “I have informed you sufficiently. Although I do not know whether what you are promised is near or far.”

21:111“And I do not know whether it is perhaps a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a while.”
