Muhsin Khan - English translation

Al-Qalam


Nun. [These letters (Nun, etc.) are one of the miracles of the Quran, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. By the pen and what the (angels) write (in the Records of men).
Verse 4

And verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) are on an exalted standard of character.
Verse 6

Which of you is afflicted with madness.
Verse 8

So (O Muhammad SAW) obey not the deniers [(of Islamic Monotheism those who belie the Verses of Allah), the Oneness of Allah, and the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW), etc.]
Verse 9

They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would compromise with you.

Verily, We have tried them as We tried the people of the garden, when they swore to pluck the fruits of the (garden) in the morning,
Verse 18

Without saying: Insha' Allah (If Allah will).

Then there passed by on the (garden) something (fire) from your Lord at night and burnt it while they were asleep.
Verse 20

So the (garden) became black by the morning, like a pitch dark night (in complete ruins).
Verse 21

Then they called out one to another as soon as the morning broke,
Verse 23

So they departed, conversing in secret low tones (saying),
Verse 25

And they went in the morning with strong intention, thinking that they have power (to prevent the poor taking anything of the fruits therefrom).

But when they saw the (garden), they said: "Verily, we have gone astray,"
Verse 27

(Then they said): "Nay! Indeed we are deprived of (the fruits)!"

The best among them said: "Did I not tell you: why do you not say: Insha' Allah (If Allah will)."

They said: "Woe to us! Verily, we were Taghun (transgressors and disobedient, etc.)

We hope that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this. Truly, we turn to our Lord (wishing for good that He may forgive our sins, and reward us in the Hereafter)."

Verily, for the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V. 2:2) are Gardens of delight (Paradise) with their Lord.
Verse 35

Shall We then treat the (submitting) Muslims like the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists and disbelievers, etc.)?

(Remember) the Day when the Shin shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) and they shall be called to prostrate (to Allah), but they (hypocrites) shall not be able to do so,

Their eyes will be cast down, ignominy will cover them; they used to be called to prostrate (offer prayers), while they were healthy and good (in the life of the world, but they did not).

Or is it that you (O Muhammad SAW) ask them a wage, so that they are heavily burdened with debt?

Or that the Ghaib (unseen here in this Verse it means Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz) is in their hands, so that they can write it down?

So wait with patience for the Decision of your Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish, when he cried out (to Us) while he was in deep sorrow. (See the Quran, Verse 21:87).

Had not a Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been (left in the stomach of the fish, but We forgave him), so he was cast off on the naked shore, while he was to be blamed.

And verily, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes through hatredness when they hear the Reminder (the Quran), and they say: "Verily, he (Muhammad SAW) is a madman!"

But it is nothing else than a Reminder to all the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
