By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,

Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,

Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.

Woe to the falsehood-mongers,-

Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:

They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"

(It will be) a Day when they will be tried (and tested) over the Fire!

"Taste ye your trial! This is what ye used to ask to be hastened!"

As to the Righteous, they will be in the midst of Gardens and Springs,

Taking joy in the things which their Lord gives them, because, before then, they lived a good life.

They were in the habit of sleeping but little by night,

And in the hour of early dawn, they (were found) praying for Forgiveness;

And in their wealth and possessions (was remembered) the right of the (needy,) him who asked, and him who (for some reason) was prevented (from asking).

On the earth are signs for those of assured Faith,

As also in your own selves: Will ye not then see?

And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised.

Then, by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other.

Has the story reached thee, of the honoured guests of Abraham?

Behold, they entered his presence, and said: "Peace!" He said, "Peace!" (and thought, "These seem) unusual people."

Then he turned quickly to his household, brought out a fatted calf,

And placed it before them.. he said, "Will ye not eat?"

(When they did not eat), He conceived a fear of them. They said, "Fear not," and they gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge.

But his wife came forward (laughing) aloud: she smote her forehead and said: "A barren old woman!"

They said, "Even so has thy Lord spoken: and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge."
