25:2He to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, who took to Himself no son, who never had a partner in His kingship; who created everything and determined its measure.

25:3And yet, instead of Him, they produce for themselves gods that create nothing, but are themselves created; that have no power to harm or benefit themselves; and no power over life, death, or resurrection.

25:4Those who disbelieve say, “This is nothing but a lie that he made up, and others have helped him at it.” They have committed an injustice and a perjury.

25:5And they say, “Tales of the ancients; he wrote them down; they are dictated to him morning and evening.”

25:7And they say, “What sort of messenger is this, who eats food, and walks in the marketplaces? If only an angel was sent down with him, to be alongside him a warner.”

25:8Or, “If only a treasure was dropped on him.” Or, “If only he had a garden from which he eats.” The evildoers also say, “You are following but a man under spell.”

25:10Blessed is He who, if He wills, can provide you with better than that—gardens beneath which rivers flow—and He will give you palaces.

25:13And when they are thrown into it, into a tight place, shackled, they will plead there for death.

25:14“Do not plead for one death today, but plead for a great many deaths.”

25:15Say, “Is this better, or the Garden of Eternity promised to the righteous? It is for them a reward and a destination.

25:16They will have therein whatever they desire, forever. That is upon your Lord a binding promise.

25:17On the Day when He gathers them, and what they worshiped besides God, He will say, “Was it you who misled these servants of Mine, or was it they who lost the way?”

25:19They have denied you because of what you say; so you can neither avert, nor help. Whoever among you commits injustice, We will make him taste a grievous punishment.

25:20We never sent any messengers before you, but they ate food and walked in the marketplaces. And We made some of you tempters for one another—will you be patient? Your Lord is always Observing.

25:22On the Day when they see the angels—there will be no good news for sinners on that Day; and they will say, “A protective refuge.”

25:23We will proceed to the works they did, and will turn them into scattered dust.

25:24The companions of Paradise on that Day will be better lodged, and more fairly accommodated.

25:26On that Day, true sovereignty will belong to the Merciful, and it will be a difficult Day for the disbelievers.

25:27On that Day, the wrongdoer will bite his hands, and say, “If only I had followed the way with the Messenger.

25:29He led me away from the Message after it had come to me; for Satan has always been a betrayer of man.”

25:32Those who disbelieve say, “Why was the Quran not revealed to him at once?” Thus in order to strengthen your heart thereby, and We revealed it in stages.

25:33Whatever argument they come to you with, We provide you with the truth, and a better exposition.

25:38And Aad, and Thamood, and the inhabitants of Arras, and many generations in between.

25:39To each We presented the parables; and each We devastated utterly.

25:40And they came upon the city that was drenched by the terrible rain. Did they not see it? But they do not expect resurrection.

25:42“He nearly led us away from our gods, had we not patiently adhered to them.” But they will know, when they witness the torment, who is further away from the way.

25:44Or do you assume that most of them hear or understand? They are just like cattle, but even more errant in their way.

25:48And it is He who sends the winds, bringing advance news of His mercy; and We send down from the sky pure water.

25:49To revive dead lands thereby, and to provide drink for the multitude of animals and humans We created.

25:50We have circulated it among them, that they may reflect, but most people persist in thanklessness.

25:53And it is He who merged the two seas; this one fresh and sweet, and that one salty and bitter; and He placed between them a barrier, and an impassable boundary.

25:54And it is He who, from fluid, created the human being. Then He made relationships through marriage and mating. Your Lord is Omnipotent.

25:55And yet, instead of God, they serve what neither profits them nor harms them. The disbeliever has always turned his back on his Lord.

25:57Say, “I ask of you no payment for this—only that whoever wills may take a path to his Lord.”

25:58And put your trust in the Living, the One who never dies; and celebrate His praise. He suffices as the All-Informed Knower of the faults of His creatures.

25:59He who created the heavens and the earth and everything between them in six days, then settled on the Throne. The Most Merciful. Ask about Him a well-informed.

25:60And when it is said to them, “Bow down to the Merciful,” they say, “And what is the Merciful? Are we to bow down to whatever you command us?” And it increases their aversion.

25:61Blessed is He who placed constellations in the sky, and placed in it a lamp, and an illuminating moon.

25:62And it is He who made the night and the day alternate—for whoever desires to reflect, or desires to show gratitude.

25:64And those who pass the night prostrating themselves to their Lord and standing up.

25:66It is indeed a miserable residence and destination.”

25:67And those who, when they spend, are neither wasteful nor stingy, but choose a middle course between that.

25:68And those who do not implore besides God any other god, and do not kill the soul which God has made sacred—except in the pursuit of justice—and do not commit adultery. Whoever does that will face penalties.

25:69The punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will dwell therein in humiliation forever.

25:73And those who, when reminded of the revelations of their Lord, do not fall before them deaf and blind.

25:75Those will be awarded the Chamber for their patience, and will be greeted therein with greetings and peace.

25:76Abiding therein forever—it is an excellent residence and destination.

25:77Say, “What are you to my Lord without your prayers? You have denied the truth, and the inevitable will happen.”
