Without making exception.

68:19

to top

So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.

68:21

to top

Sahih International

And they called one another at morning,

68:22

to top

68:24

to top

Sahih International

[Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."

68:25

to top

Sahih International

And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.

68:26

to top

Sahih International

But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;

68:27

to top

Rather, we have been deprived."

68:28

to top

Sahih International

The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [ Allah ]?' "

68:29

to top

68:30

to top

Then they approached one another, blaming each other.

68:31

They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.

68:32

to top

Sahih International

Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."

68:35

Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?

68:36

to top

Sahih International

What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?

68:37

to top

Sahih International

Or do you have a scripture in which you learn

68:38

to top

Sahih International

That indeed for you is whatever you choose?

68:39

to top

Sahih International

Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?

68:40

to top

Sahih International

Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.

68:41

Sahih International

The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,

68:43

Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.

68:44

to top

Sahih International

So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.

68:45

to top

Sahih International

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.

68:46

to top

Sahih International

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

68:47

to top

Sahih International

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

68:48

to top

Sahih International

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.

68:49

to top

Sahih International

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.
