The Declining Day

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[103:1]

By the declining day,

[103:2]

Lo! man is a state of loss,

[103:3]

Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.

The Traducer

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[104:1]

Woe unto every slandering traducer,

[104:2]

Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.

[104:3]

He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.

[104:4]

Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.

[104:5]

Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!

[104:6]

(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,

[104:7]

Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).

[104:8]

Lo! it is closed in on them

[104:9]

In outstretched columns.

The Elephant

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[105:1]

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?

[105:2]

Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,

[105:3]

And send against them swarms of flying creatures,

[105:4]

Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,

[105:5]

And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
