Alif, L\u0101m, M\u012bm, \u1e62\u0101d.\n2. Kitabun onzila ilayka fala yakun fee sadrika harajun minhu litunthira bihi wathikra lilmu/mineena\n2. A Book revealed unto thee,\u2014\n So let thy heart be oppressed'\n No more by any difficulty\n On that account,\n That with it thou mightest\n Warn (the erring) and teach\n The Believers.\n3. IttabiAAoo ma onzila ilaykum min rabbikum wala tattabiAAoo min doonihi awliyaa qaleelan ma tathakkaroona\n3. Follow (O men!) the revelation\n Given unto you from your Lord,\n And follow not, as friends\n Or protectors, other than Him.\n Little it is ye remember\n Of admonition.\n4. Wakam min qaryatin ahlaknaha fajaaha ba/suna bayatan aw hum qa-iloona\n4. How many towns have We\n Destroyed (for their sins)?\n Our punishment took them\n On a sudden by night\n Or while they slept\n For their afternoon rest.\n5. Fama kana daAAwahum ith jaahum ba/suna illa an qaloo inna kunna thalimeena\n5. When (thus) Our punishment\n Took them, no cry\n Did they utter but this:\n \"Indeed we did wrong.\"\n6. Falanas-alanna allatheena orsila ilayhim walanas-alanna almursaleena\n6. When shall we question\n Those to whom Our Message\n Was sent and those by whom\n We sent it.\n7. Falanaqussanna AAalayhim biAAilmin wama kunna gha-ibeena\n7. And verily We shall recount\n Their whole story\n With knowledge, for We\n Were never absent\n (At any time or place).\n8. Waalwaznu yawma-ithini alhaqqu faman thaqulat mawazeenuhu faola-ika humu almuflihoona\n8. The balance that day\n Will be true (to a nicety):\n Those whose scale (of good)\n Will be heavy, will prosper:\n9. Waman khaffat mawazeenuhu faola-ika allatheena khasiroo anfusahum bima kanoo bi-ayatina yathlimoona\n9. Those whose scale will be light,\n Will find their souls\n In perdition, for that they\n Wrongfully treated Our Signs.\n10. Walaqad makkannakum fee al-ardi wajaAAalna lakum feeha maAAayisha qaleelan ma tashkuroona\n10. It is We Who have\n Placed you with authority\n On earth, and provided\n You therein with means\n For the fulfilment of your life:\n Small are the thanks\n That ye give!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VII.: A\u2019r\u0101f, or the Heights: Section 1 (1-10)","type":"page"}
