1.Alif-Lãm-Mĩm-Ṣãd. 2.˹This is˺ a Book sent down to you ˹O Prophet˺—do not let anxiety into your heart regarding it—so with it you may warn ˹the disbelievers˺, and as a reminder to the believers. 3.Follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not take others as guardians besides Him. How seldom are you mindful! 4.˹Imagine˺ how many societies We have destroyed! Our torment took them by surprise ˹while sleeping˺ at night or midday. 5.Their only cry—when overwhelmed by Our torment—was, “We have indeed been wrongdoers.” 6.We will surely question those who received messengers and We will question the messengers ˹themselves˺. 7.Then We will give them a full account with sure knowledge—for We were never absent. 8.The weighing on that Day will be just. As for those whose scale will be heavy ˹with good deeds˺, ˹only˺ they will be successful. 9.But those whose scale is light, they have doomed themselves for wrongfully denying Our signs. 10.We have indeed established you on earth and provided you with a means of livelihood. ˹Yet˺ you seldom give any thanks. 11.Surely We created you,1 then shaped you, then said to the angels, “Prostrate before Adam,” so they all did—but not Iblîs,2 who refused to prostrate with the others.
