[11:1] ALR. A scripture, strengthened by its proofs then made fully detailed by the special knowledge of All Wise, All Cognizant.

[11:2] It is alerting not to worship except God. Indeed I come to you from Him as a warner as well as a bearer of good news.

[11:3] And if you ask forgiveness from your Lord, then repent to Him, He will provide for you a beautiful provision for a specific interim and grants His bounty to all those who deserve a bounty. However, if you turn away, then I indeed fear for you the punishment on a great day. 

[11:4] To God is your final destiny, and His power reigns over all things.

[11:5] Beware they try to hide their innermost from Him. Beware that while they are covered under their garments, He knows what they hide and what they declare. Indeed He fully knows the innermost thoughts.

[11:6] And there is not a single creature on the land that God has not provided its provision, and He knows its dwelling and its repository. Everything is recorded in a profound book.  

[11:7] And He is the one who created the vacua and matter in six days and His dominion was based on water through which He tests you to see which one of you will do better. And when they are told that indeed you will be resurrected after death, those who have no faith would surely say this is nothing but clear magic. 

[11:8] And if We delay the punishment for them by inflicting only a few communities, for sure, they would say what prevented Him? Beware, the day their turn is up, nothing can prevent it and the very thing they ridiculed comes back to haunt them.  

[11:9] And if We give the human being a taste of Our Mercy, then remove it, he becomes despondent, unappreciative.

[11:10] And if we have him taste Our blessing after he has suffered a disaster, he would surely say evil has been removed from me. Indeed he becomes joyous, proud. 

[11:11] Not so are those who have steadfastly persevered and led a righteous life, awaiting them is forgiveness and a generous recompense.

[11:12] Therefore, you might ignore some of what is revealed to you and you may be angered as they say, why was a treasure not sent down to him, or why did an angel not come with him. You are indeed no more than a warner.  And God represents all things.

[11:13] Or they may say he fabricated it. Say, then bring ten suras like it, fabricated, and call upon whomever you can besides God if you are truthful.

[11:14] And if they cannot respond to you, then you shall know that indeed it was revealed with God's knowledge and there is no god except He.  Therefore, would you become peace offerors?

[11:15] Whoever seeks this worldly life and its adornments, We will grant him therefrom without frugality. 

[11:16] These are those who have no share of the Hereafter except Hell, and everything they manufacture therein is useless and whatever they do is in vain. 

[11:17] Then who is the one who stands firm by a proof from his Lord? A witness did recite it previously in Moses' scripture, a leading authority as well as a mercy.  They did believe in it. As for those who disbelieved it among various parties, then Hell is promised to them. As for you, you shall not have any doubt about it. Indeed this is the truth from your Lord, however, most people will not attain faith.

[11:18] And who is more unjust than the one who fabricates a lie and attributes it to God? These are the ones who turn their backs to their Lord and the witnesses say these are the ones who lied about their Lord.  Beware; God's condemnation is upon the transgressors.  

[11:19] These are the ones who repel from the path of God and seek to make it crooked and they disbelieve in the Hereafter. 

[11:20] They will never be able to be miracle workers on the land and they will have no allies besides God, the punishment will be doubled for them.  They will not be able to hear and they will not see. 

[11:21] These are the ones who have wronged their souls and the very thing they fabricated caused them to go astray.

[11:22] Undoubtedly, they are the worst losers in the Hereafter

[11:23] Indeed those who attain faith and lead a righteous life and are totally devoted to their Lord, these are the dwellers of Paradise wherein they abide eternally. 

[11:24] The allegory of the two groups is like the blind and the deaf versus the seer and the hearer. Are they equal? Do you therefore not take heed?

[11:25] And We indeed dispatched Noah to his people: indeed I am a manifest warner to you. 

[11:26] Do not worship except God. I surely fear for you the punishment of a painful day. 

[11:27] However, the group of unfaithful among his people said, we only see you as a human like us, and we see that only the worst among us have followed you, willfully, and we do not see you as superiors to us, on the contrary, we think you are liars.

[11:28] He said, O my people may I show you the proof that I have from my Lord and the mercy He has bestowed upon me although you are blind to it, should I force you while you are reluctant toward it?

[11:29] And O my people, I do not ask you for any wage, for indeed my wage comes from God. And I am to never abandon those who have attained faith.  They are indeed destined to meet their Lord and as for you, I see that you are ignorant people.  

[11:30] And O my people, who can help me before God, if I abandon them? Do you not ponder?   

[11:31] And I do not tell you that I possess God's treasures, nor do I say to you that I have full knowledge of the future, nor do I say to you that I am indeed an angel, nor do I say to you that those whom are despised in your eyes would not receive God's blessing. God has full knowledge of their thoughts. If I do so, I would indeed be a transgressor. 

[11:32] They said, O Noah, you have indeed argued with us and have argued excessively, therefore bring what you have promised us if you are truthful. 

[11:33] He said, only God can bring it to you if He so wills and you will not be able to escape.

[11:34] And my advice would never benefit you no matter how hard I try, if God wills that you go astray. He is your Lord and to Him you will be returned.

[11:35] Or they may say that he fabricated it. Say, if I fabricated it then I am responsible for my guilt and I am innocent of your guilt.   

[11:36] And Noah was inspired that indeed no more of your people are going to believe except those who have already done so.  Hence, do not despair because of their action.

[11:37] And construct the ship under Our watch and with Our inspiration and do not address Me on behalf of the unjust, for indeed they are to drown. 

[11:38] As he was constructing the ship, every time a group of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, you make fun of us and we mock your ridiculous acts.

[11:39] You will then soon find out who will receive the humiliating punishment and has deserved the eternal punishment.

[11:40] Once Our command was issued, and the pot boiled over, We said carry on it a pair of each kind and your family, and exclude those who are already destined to perish, but take the faithful. And there were only a few who believed with him.

[11:41] And he said get on board, in God's name shall be her sailing and her mooring. Indeed my Lord is All Forgiving, All Merciful.

[11:42] And she sailed on the top of a mountain-like wave and Noah called his son, who was isolated, O my son, come on board with us and do not stay with the unfaithful.

[11:43] He said, I will stay on this hilltop; it will protect me from the water.  He said, there is no protection today from God's command, unless for those whom deserve mercy. And the wave separated them and he drowned. 

[11:44] And the land was told; swallow your water and you the sky, cease the downpour and the matter was finished as she was a perfect match for the deluge, and it was proclaimed; the unjust people have perished.    

[11:45] And Noah called upon his Lord, and then said, Lord, indeed my son is of my family and your promise is the truth and you are the wisest of all the wise ones.

[11:46] He said; O Noah, he is not of your family, he is indeed the result of an unrighteous act.  Therefore, do not ask Me what you have no knowledge thereof. Indeed, I am enlightening you otherwise you will be one of the ignorant ones.

[11:47] He said, Lord, I indeed seek refuge in you for asking about something that I have no knowledge of; and if You do not forgive me and have mercy upon me, I will be one of the losers. 

[11:48] It was said, O Noah, disembark in peace from Us and blessings be upon you and upon the groups with you. As for other groups, We will provide for them, then, We will have them taste a painful punishment.

[11:49] These are some news from the unrecorded history, which We inspire to you.  Neither you nor your people knew about it previously, therefore, be patient, the inheritance belongs to the god-fearing.

[11:50] And to Aad, went their brother Eber.  He said, O my people worship God, there is no other god besides Him, you are only fabricating.

[11:51] O my people I do not ask you for any wage, for indeed my wage comes from the One who initiated me.  Do you not use your intelligence? 

[11:52] And O my people ask forgiveness from your Lord and then repent to Him; He will send upon you abundant rain from the sky and increase your power beyond your existing power and do not turn away as the guilty.

[11:53] They said, O Eber, you have not brought us any proof and we are not going to abandon our gods because of your call and we are not going to become believers for your sake.

[11:54] We say that some of our gods have afflicted you with an evil.  He said; as indeed God is my witness and you are witnessing, I surely disown what you set up as partners for god -

[11:55] -besides Him.  Therefore, present to me your collective plan immediately.

[11:56] Indeed, in God I trust, my Lord and your Lord.  There is not a single creature that He does not control.  Indeed my Lord is on the straight path.

[11:57] Hence, if you turn away, I have delivered to you the message I was sent with. Furthermore, my Lord will replace you with a different people and you do not harm Him in the least. Indeed my Lord is the Guardian of all things. 

[11:58] And once Our command was issued, We saved Eber and those who believed with him as a mercy from Us and We saved them from a severe punishment.

[11:59] And so was Aad, they argued against their Lord's signs and rebelled against His messengers and followed every stubborn tyrant. 

[11:60] Condemnation followed them in this world as well as on the Day of Resurrection.  Indeed Aad had no faith in their Lord.  Absolutely, Aad, the people of Eber did perish.

[11:61] And to Thamoud, went their brother Saleh.  He said, O my people; worship God, there is no other god besides Him for you. He is the One who initiated you from the land and made you prosper therein; therefore, you shall ask forgiveness from Him then repent to Him. Indeed my Lord is always near always respondent.

[11:62] They said O Saleh, you were indeed popular among us. Are you enjoining us from worshipping what our parents worshiped, while indeed we are doubtful of what you are inviting us to do, hesitant?

[11:63] He said, O my people, what if I show you a proof from my Lord and His mercy He has bestowed upon me? Who is then going to help me in front of God if I disobey Him? Then I will gain nothing but loss.

[11:64] And O my people; this is God's camel, a sign for you, therefore, let her eat from God's land and do not harm her in any way, lest you will be immediately punished.

[11:65] However, they maimed her, hence he proclaimed; enjoy your homes for three days, for this is an undeniable promise.  

[11:66] And once Our command was issued, We saved Saleh and those who believed with him as a mercy from Us and We saved them from the humiliation of that day. Indeed your Lord is The All Powerful, The Almighty. 

[11:67] And the unjust were overwhelmed by the thunder, leaving them dead in their homes.

[11:68] They looked as though they never prospered therein. Absolutely, Thamoud had no faith in their Lord. Absolutely, Thamoud has perished. 

[11:69] And indeed Our messengers went to Abraham with the good news, they said, peace, he said, peace, he then without hesitation, prepared for them a barbequed calf.

[11:70] And when he noticed their hands are not touching it, he turned away from them and felt fearful of them. They said, do not fear, indeed we are dispatched to the people of Lot. 

[11:71] And his wife was standing, she laughed when We gave her the good news of Isaac and Jacob to be from Isaac's clan.

[11:72] She said, wow, how could I give birth, when I am an old woman and my husband is an old man? This is indeed a strange thing.

[11:73] They said, are you surprised by God's command? Indeed God's mercy and His blessings has been upon you O the inhabitant of the House. He is indeed Praiseworthy, Glorious. 

[11:74] Once Abraham's fear subsided and he received the good news, he argued with Us on behalf of Lot's people.  

[11:75] Indeed, Abraham was indeed tolerant, very kind, and repentant.

[11:76] O Abraham, refrain from this, indeed your Lord's command has already been issued, for indeed they have deserved the inevitable punishment. 

[11:77] And when Our messengers went to Lot, they were mistreated and he was embarrassed in their presence and said, this is a nerve-racking day.

[11:78] And his people came to him rushing as they were used to committing evil. He said O my people here are my daughters, this is purer for you, therefore fear God and do not humiliate me in front of my guests, is there not one guided man amongst you? 

[11:79] They said, you know we have no need for your daughters, surely you know exactly what we want. 

[11:80] He said, O I wished I had power over you, or had a prominent position.

[11:81] They said, O Lot, we are indeed your Lord's messengers and they cannot touch you, therefore, get out with your family during the night and none of you shall look back except your wife, for indeed she will be afflicted by what they are going to be afflicted with. Their promised time is the morning. Is the morning not soon enough?

[11:82] Then when Our command was issued, We turned it upside down and showered it with rocks precipitated from mud - 

[11:83] - marked by your Lord to strike the transgressors in their midst.

[11:84] And to the Medians, went their brother Jethro.  He said, O my people; worship God; you have no other god besides Him. You shall not cheat with measurement and the scale. Indeed, I want to see you do well and indeed I fear for you the day when suffering completely surrounds you.

[11:85] And O my people, fulfill the measure and the scale, equitably. Do not cheat people out of their belongings. And do not use matter wickedly as corruptors.

[11:86] What is left for you by God is better for you if you are faithful.  And I am not your guardian.

[11:87] They said, O Jethro; does your contact prayer command you that we abandon what our fathers used to worship or quit doing with our wealth as we wish? Indeed you used to be clement, guided.

[11:88] He said O my people; may I show you a proof from my Lord that He has provided for me as a blessing? I do not agree with you regarding what I enjoin you from. I only wish to correct as many things as I can. And my success is only attainable through God. In Him I trust and to Him I repent.

[11:89] And O my people; do not commit an error by opposing me, lest you suffer the same disaster as the disaster that afflicted the people of Noah, or the people of Eber, or the people of Saleh.  And the people of Lot were not far away from you. 

[11:90] And ask forgiveness from your Lord, then, repent to Him. Indeed my Lord is All Merciful, All Loving.

[11:91] They said; O Jethro, we do not understand much of what you say and indeed we see that you are weak amongst us, and if it were not for your clan, we would have surely stoned you, and you would not have any might over us.

[11:92] He said, O my people, is my clan mightier for you than God? And is it why you are turning your back to Him? Indeed My Lord encompasses everything you do.

[11:93] And O my people; keep doing what you are doing in your dwellings and so am I. You will soon find out who will receive the humiliating punishment and who the liar is.  And continue to watch for it and I will watch for it, along with you.

[11:94] And once Our command was issued, We saved Jethro and those who believed with him as a mercy from Us and the thunder overwhelmed the unjust, leaving them dead in their homes.

[11:95] It was as though they never prospered therein. Absolutely, the Medians have perished just like Thamoud perished.

[11:96] And We sent Moses with Our Signs and a profound authority –

[11:97] –to Pharaoh and his people who obeyed Pharaoh's command. However, Pharaoh's command was void of guidance.

[11:98] He will lead his people on the Day of Resurrection as they enter Hell. What a miserable entrance for those who enter.

[11:99] They followed damnation here as well as on the Day of Resurrection.  What a miserable gift for the one who received that gift.

[11:100] These are news from communities that We narrate to you. Some are still standing and some were completely wiped out.

[11:101] And We were not unjust toward them; they were unjust toward themselves. Therefore, their gods whom they called upon besides God did not enrich them in the least once your Lord's command was issued, and they gained nothing but destruction.

[11:102] And such is your Lord's punishment when communities commit injustice. Indeed His punishment carries the ultimate pain. 

[11:103] Indeed in this there is a sign for those who fear the punishment of the Hereafter.  That is the day when all the people are brought before Him, the day that will be witnessed.

[11:104] And We will not delay it, except to fulfill a numerically predetermined time.  

[11:105] When that day comes, no soul will speak except by His permission.  Amongst them are wretched as well as the happy.

[11:106] Then, the wretched end up in Hell, wherein there is screaming and whining.

[11:107] They abide therein forever, as long as the vacua and matter endure in accordance with your Lord's will.  Indeed, your Lord is the utmost doer of what He wills.

[11:108] As for those who are happy, they are in Paradise wherein they abide forever, as long as the vacua and matter endure in accordance with your Lord's will, a gift without limits.

[11:109] Therefore, do not be in doubt about what these people worship. They do not worship except what their parents worshiped before them.  And indeed We will exact their share without deficiency.

[11:110] And indeed We gave Moses the scripture but it was disputed. And if it were not for a preordained word from your Lord, they would have indeed been judged. And surely they are hesitant, full of doubt.

[11:111] And indeed all of them will receive their share from your Lord because of their deeds. Indeed He is fully cognizant of what they do. 

[11:112] Therefore, be steadfast as you were commanded and so shall those who repented along with you and do not rebel. Indeed He is All Seer of everything you do.

[11:113] And do not lean toward the transgressors, lest you will end up in Hell and you will have no ally besides God and you will never be helped.

[11:114] And observe the contact prayer at both ends of the daylight and early part of the night. Indeed good deeds wipe out bad deeds. This is a reminder for those who take heed.

[11:115] And be patient, for God will never put to waste the reward for the righteous.

[11:116] Hence, if only the previous generations were intelligent enough to forbid evil using matter, as were very few of them whom We saved. As for those who followed the transgressors, they enjoyed themselves temporarily and they were guilty.

[11:117] And your Lord will never annihilate a community unjustly while its inhabitants are righteous.

[11:118] And if your Lord willed, He would have indeed made the humans a single congregation; however, they always dispute –

[11:119] –except those upon whom your Lord has bestowed mercy.  And for this reason He created them. And your Lord's word is fulfilled; I will indeed fill Gehenna with Jinns and Humans together.

[11:120] And We thus narrate to you the news from some messengers in order to strengthen your heart therewith.  This comes to you as the truth and enlightenment and a reminder for the faithful.  

[11:121] And say to those who have no faith; continue what you are doing in your dwellings and so will we. 

[11:122] And wait and we will surely wait.  

[11:123] And to God belongs the secret of the vacua and matter and all matters are referred to Him, therefore, you shall worship Him and put your trust in Him.  And your Lord is never unaware of what you do.
