signs for the folk who believe!

53. Say: "O 'Ibd (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allh, verily Allh forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

54. "And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islmic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islm), before the torment comes upon you, then you will not be helped.

55. "And follow the best of that which is sent down to you from your Lord (i.e. this Qur'n, do what it orders you to do and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes on you suddenly while you perceive not!"

56. Lest a person should say: "Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allh (i.e. I have not done what Allh has ordered me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked [at the truth! i.e. L ilha ill-Allh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allh), the Qur'n, and Muhammad and at the faithful believers, etc.]

57. Or (lest) he should say: "If only Allh had guided me, I should indeed have been among the Muttaqn (pious and righteous persons - see V.2:2)."

58. Or (lest) he should say when he sees the torment: "If only I had another chance (to return to the world) then I should indeed be among the Muhsinn (good-doers - see V.2:112)."

59. Yes! Verily, there came to you My Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and you denied them, and were proud and were among the disbelievers.

60. And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allh (i.e. attributed to Him sons, partners, etc.) their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant ones?

61. And Allh will deliver those who are the Muttaqn (pious - see V.2:2) to their places of success (Paradise). Evil shall touch them not, nor shall they grieve.

62. Allh is the Creator of all things, and He is the Wakl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian, etc.) over all things.

63. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And those who disbelieve in the Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allh, such are they who will be the losers.

64. Say (O Muhammad to the polytheists, etc.): "Do you order me to worship other than Allh O you fools ?"

65. And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad ), as it was to those (Allh's Messengers) before you: "If you join others in worship with Allh, (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."

66. Nay! But worship Allh (Alone and none else), and be among the grateful.

67. They made not a just estimate of Allh such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!

68. And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allh will. Then it will blown a second time and behold, they will be standing, looking on (waiting).

69. And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allh, when He will come to judge among men) and the Book will be placed (open) and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged.

70. And each person will be paid in full of what he did; and He is Best Aware of what they do.

71. And those who disbelieved will be driven to Hell in groups, till, when they reach it, the gates thereof will be opened (suddenly like a prison at the arrival of the prisoners). And its keepers will say, "Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves, reciting to you the Verses of your Lord, and warning you of the Meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "Yes, but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!"

72. It will be said (to them):
