Arabic Text
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ الْكِتَابَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ عِوَجًا ﴿١﴾
قَيِّمًا لِيُنْذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِنْ لَدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا ﴿٢﴾
مَاكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا ﴿٣﴾
English Translation
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1. All praise is for Allah Who has revealed the Book to His servant, allowing no crookedness in it,
2. making it perfectly upright, to warn of a severe punishment from Him; to give good news to the believers who do good that they will have a fine reward,
3. in which they will remain forever.
[Surah continues for 110 verses with 4 main stories: People of the Cave, Owner of Two Gardens, Musa and Khidr, Dhul-Qarnayn]
