   Read the passage · Ash-Shu'araa 176–227

   كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ لْـَٔيْكَةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ١٧٦

   The companions of the thicket denied the messengers

   إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ شُعَيْبٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ١٧٧

   When Shu'ayb said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

   إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ١٧٨

   Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

   فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ١٧٩

   So fear Allah and obey me.

   وَمَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ١٨٠

   And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

   ۞ أَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُخْسِرِينَ١٨١

   Give full measure and do not be of those who cause loss.

   وَزِنُوا۟ بِٱلْقِسْطَاسِ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمِ١٨٢

   And weigh with an even balance.

   وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ١٨٣

   And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.

   وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ وَٱلْجِبِلَّةَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٨٤

   And fear He who created you and the former creation."

   قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَحَّرِينَ١٨٥

   They said, "You are only of those affected by magic.

   وَمَآ أَنتَ إِلَّا بَشَرٌۭ مِّثْلُنَا وَإِن نَّظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ١٨٦

   You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

   فَأَسْقِطْ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ١٨٧

   So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

   قَالَ رَبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ١٨٨

   He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

   فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمِ ٱلظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ١٨٩

   And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

   إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ١٩٠

   Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

   وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ١٩١

   And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

   وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ١٩٢

   And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

   نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ١٩٣

   The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

   عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ١٩٤

   Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

   بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّۢ مُّبِينٍۢ١٩٥

   In a clear Arabic language.

   وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٩٦

   And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.

   أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ١٩٧

   And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?

   وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ١٩٨

   And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners

   فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ١٩٩

   And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

   كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ٢٠٠

   Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.

   لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ٢٠١

   They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment.

   فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ٢٠٢

   And it will come to them suddenly while they perceive [it] not.

   فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ٢٠٣

   And they will say, "May we be reprieved?"

   أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ٢٠٤

   So for Our punishment are they impatient?

   أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ٢٠٥

   Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years

   ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ٢٠٦

   And then there came to them that which they were promised?

   مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ٢٠٧

   They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

   وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ٢٠٨

   And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

   ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ٢٠٩

   As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

   وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ٢١٠

   And the devils have not brought the revelation down.

   وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ٢١١

   It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

   إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ٢١٢

   Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.

   فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ٢١٣

   So do not invoke with Allah another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

   وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ٢١٤

   And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred.

   وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ٢١٥

   And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.

   Read the passage · Al-A'raaf 1–9

   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   الٓمٓصٓ١

   Alif, Lam, Meem, Sad.

   كِتَٰبٌ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ فَلَا يَكُن فِى صَدْرِكَ حَرَجٌۭ مِّنْهُ لِتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ وَذِكْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ٢

   [This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.

   ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ ۗ قَلِيلًۭا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ٣

   Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.

   وَكَم مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَٰهَا فَجَآءَهَا بَأْسُنَا بَيَٰتًا أَوْ هُمْ قَآئِلُونَ٤

   And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.

   فَمَا كَانَ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ إِذْ جَآءَهُم بَأْسُنَآ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ٥

   And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"

   فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ٦

   Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.

   فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِم بِعِلْمٍۢ ۖ وَمَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ٧

   Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.

   وَٱلْوَزْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ فَمَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ٨

   And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful.

   وَمَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يَظْلِمُونَ٩

   And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.

   Read the passage · An-Nahl 63–74

   تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ٦٣

   By Allah, We did certainly send [messengers] to nations before you, but Satan made their deeds attractive to them. And he is the disbelievers' ally today [as well], and they will have a painful punishment.

   وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ ۙ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ٦٤

   And We have not revealed to you the Book, [O Muhammad], except for you to make clear to them that wherein they have differed and as guidance and mercy for a people who believe.

   وَٱللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَآ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَسْمَعُونَ٦٥

   And Allah has sent down rain from the sky and given life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who listen.

   وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ لَعِبْرَةًۭ ۖ نُّسْقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهِۦ مِنۢ بَيْنِ فَرْثٍۢ وَدَمٍۢ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًۭا سَآئِغًۭا لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ٦٦

   And indeed, for you in grazing livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from what is in their bellies - between excretion and blood - pure milk, palatable to drinkers.

   وَمِن ثَمَرَٰتِ ٱلنَّخِيلِ وَٱلْأَعْنَٰبِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَرًۭا وَرِزْقًا حَسَنًا ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَعْقِلُونَ٦٧

   And from the fruits of the palm trees and grapevines you take intoxicant and good provision. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who reason.

   وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحْلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِى مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًۭا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ٦٨

   And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses, and among the trees and [in] that which they construct.

   ثُمَّ كُلِى مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسْلُكِى سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًۭا ۚ يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌۭ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٌۭ لِّلنَّاسِ ۗ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ٦٩

   Then eat from all the fruits and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

   وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمْ ۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرْذَلِ ٱلْعُمُرِ لِكَىْ لَا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍۢ شَيْـًٔا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌۭ قَدِيرٌۭ٧٠

   And Allah created you; then He will take you in death. And among you is he who is reversed to the most decrepit [old] age so that he will not know, after [having had] knowledge, a thing. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Competent.

   وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ فِى ٱلرِّزْقِ ۚ فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا۟ بِرَآدِّى رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌ ۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ٧١

   And Allah has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allah they reject?

   وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةًۭ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ ۚ أَفَبِٱلْبَٰطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ٧٢

   And Allah has made for you from yourselves mates and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren and has provided for you from the good things. Then in falsehood do they believe and in the favor of Allah they disbelieve?

   وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ٧٣

   And they worship besides Allah that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable.

   فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ٧٤

   So do not assert similarities to Allah. Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know.
