It may happen that those who reject (the truth) wish they were Muslims (who submit).
Leave them to eat and enjoy and entertain hope, for soon they will know.
Whenever We destroyed a town, there was a known decree for it.
No community precedes its fixed term nor do they delay it.
And they say: oh you whom the reminder has been revealed to, you are possessed.
Why don´t you bring us the angels if you are truthful?
We only send the angels with the truth, and then they will not be spared.
For We have revealed the reminder and We guard it.
And before you We sent to the earliest communities.
And whenever a messenger came to them, they made fun of him.
This is how We let it pass through the hearts of the sinful.
They do not believe in it, and the example of the earliest communities has already gone before.
And even if We opened a door of heaven for them so they could climb up through it,
They would say: our eyesight has been fooled, no we have been bewitched as people.
And We place constellations in the sky and made it appealing to look at.
And We guarded them against every cursed devil.
But if one tries to listen secretly, then a visible shooting star pursues him.
And We expanded the earth and placed on it stabilisers and made grow on it of everything in proportion.
And We placed on it a livelihood for you and those for whom you don´t provide.
And whatever there is, its reserves are with Us, and We only send it down with a known measure.
And We sent the pollinating wind, then sent down from the sky water to give you to drink from it and it is not you who keep its reserves.
And indeed We give life and give death and We are the inheritors.
We already know those of you who go ahead and those who stay behind.
And your Lord is who will gather them, for He is wise and knows.
And We created man from a cement of altered mud.
And the Jinn We created before from dry hot fire.
And when your Lord said to the angels: I am creating a human from a cement of altered mud.
Then when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, fall prostate before him.
Then all the angels prostrated.
Except Iblis (the devil), he refused to be with those who prostrated.
He said: oh Iblis, what is the matter with you that you were not with those who prostrated.
He said: I am not going to prostrate to a human whom You created from a cement of altered mud.
He said: then get out of here, for you are cursed.
And the curse will be upon you until the day of repayment.
He said: my Lord, then give me time till the day when they are resurrected.
He said: then you are given time.
Till the day of the time known.
He said: my Lord, because You allowed me to stray I shall make it appealing for them on earth and lead them all astray.
Except Your sincere servants amongst them.
He said: this is a straight path for Me.

And hell is the abode for all of them.
It has seven gates, for each gate a portion of them will be assigned.
Those who beware (of Allah) will be in gardens and springs.
Enter safely with peace.
And We remove what is within them of ill feeling, they accept each other happily as brothers.
No hardship afflicts them there and they will not be expelled from there.
Inform My servants that I am the forgiving and merciful.
And that My punishment is a painful punishment.
And inform them of the guests of Ibrahim (Abraham).
When they entered upon him and said: peace. He said: we are afraid of you.
They said: don´t be afraid, for we give you good news of a knowledgeable boy.
He said: do you give me good news after old age has afflicted me? On what account do you give me good news?
They said: we give you good news based on the truth, so do not be of those who despair.
He said: and who would despair of the mercy of his Lord except those in error?
He said: So what have you come for, oh messengers?
They said: we were sent to the sinful people.
Except the family of Lut (Lot), we will rescue all of them.
Except his wife, we have decided that she is of those who stay behind.
Then when the messengers came to the family of Lut (Lot),
He said: you are unfamiliar people.
They said: but we have come to you with what they were in doubt of.
And we have reached you with the truth and we tell the truth.
So travel with your family part of the night and follow behind them and let not any of them look back and go to where you have been commanded.
And We decided for him in this matter that the remainder of these will be cut off in the morning.
And the people of the town came rejoicing.
He said: these are my guests, so do not dishonour me.
And beware of Allah and do not disgrace me.
They said: did we not forbid you contact with everybody else?
He said: these are my daughters if you have to do it.
By your life, they were blind in their intoxication.
Then the roar overtook them at sunrise.
Then We turned them upside down and rained upon them hardened stones.
In this are indeed signs for those who observe.
And they are on an established route.
In this is indeed a sign for the believers.
And the inhabitants of the woodlands were wrongdoers.
So we took revenge on them and they are clearly visible ahead.
And the inhabitants of the stone dwellings denied the messengers.
And they brought them Our signs, but they turned away from them.
And they carved out safe homes from the mountains.
Then the roar overtook them in the morning.
And what they had gathered did not benefit them.
And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them except with truth, and the hour will come, so leave them nicely alone.
For your Lord is the knowledgeable creator.
And We gave you seven of the repeated (verses) and the great Qur´an.
Do not extend your eyes to the enjoyment We have given some couples of them and do not worry about them and give comfort to the believers.
And say: I am the clear warner.
Like We sent to those who like to cause division.
Those who are selective about the Qur´an.
By your Lord, We will ask them all.
About what they used to do.
So declare what you have been commanded with and turn away from the idolaters.
We suffice you against those who mock you.
Those who claim there is another god with Allah, they will soon know.
And We know that what they say makes you uptight.
So glorify the praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate.
And serve your Lord until the inevitable reaches you.
