gave (the good things of this life) to these (polytheists) and their fathers to enjoy, till there came to them the truth (the Qur'n), and a Messenger (Muhammad ) making things clear.

30. And when the truth (this Qur'n) came to them, they (the disbelievers in this Qur'n) said: "This is magic, and we disbelieve therein."

31. And they say: "Why is not this Qur'n sent down to some great man of the two towns (Makkah and T'if)?"

32. Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord? It is We Who portion out between them their livelihood in this world, and We raised some of them above others in ranks, so that some may employ others in their work. But the Mercy (Paradise) of your Lord (O Muhammad ) is better than the (wealth of this world) which they amass.

33. And were it not that all mankind would have become of one community (all disbelievers, desiring worldly life only), We would have provided for those who disbelieve in the Most Beneficent (Allh), silver roofs for their houses, and elevators (and stair-ways, etc. of silver) whereby they ascend,

34. And for their houses, doors (of silver), and thrones (of silver) on which they could recline,

35. And adornments of gold. Yet all this (i.e. the roofs, doors, stairs, elevators, thrones etc. of their houses) would have been nothing but an enjoyment of this world. And the Hereafter with your Lord is only for the Muttaqn.

36. And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allh) (i.e. this Qur'n and worship of Allh), We appoint for him Shaitn (Satan  devil) to be a Qarn (an intimate companion) to him.

37. And verily, they (Satans / devils) hinder them from the Path (of Allh), but they think that they are guided aright!

38. Till, when (such a one) comes to Us, he says [to his Qarn (Satan / devil companion)] "Would that between me and you were the distance of the two easts (or the east and west)" a worst (type of) companion (indeed)!

39. It will profit you not this Day (O you who turn away from Allh's remembrance and His worship, etc.) as you did wrong, (and) that you will be sharers (you and your Qarn) in the punishment.

40. Can you (O Muhammad ) make the deaf to hear, or can you guide the blind or him who is in manifest error?

41. And even if We take you (O Muhammad ) away, We shall indeed take vengeance on them.

42. Or (if) We show you that wherewith We threaten them, then verily, We have perfect command over them.

43. So hold you (O Muhammad ) fast to that which is inspired in you. Verily, you are on a Straight Path.

44. And verily, this (the Qur'n) is indeed a Reminder for you (O Muhammad ) and your people (Quraish people, or your followers), and you will be questioned (about it).

45. And ask (O Muhammad ) those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: "Did We ever appoint liha (gods) to be worshipped besides the Most Beneficent (Allh)?"

46. And indeed We did send Msa (Moses) with Our Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs (inviting them to Allh's Religion of Islm) He said: "Verily, I am a Messenger of the Lord of the 'Alamn (mankind, jinns and all that exists)."

47. But when he came to them with Our Ayt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) behold! They laughed at them.

48. And not an Ayh (sign, etc.) We showed them but it was greater than its fellow, and We seized them with torment, in order that they might turn [from their polytheism to Allh's Religion (Islmic Monotheism)].

49. And they said [to Msa (Moses)]: "O you sorcerer! Invoke your Lord for us according to what He has covenanted with you. Verily, We shall guide ourselves (aright)."

50. But when We removed the torment from them, behold! They broke their covenant (that they will believe if We remove the torment for them).

51. And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people, saying: "O my people! Is not mine the
