[11.1] AlifLaamRa. (This is) a Book whose verses are clear, and then distinguished from Him, the Wise, the Aware.
[11.2] Worship none except Allah. I am for you, a warner sent from Him and a bearer of glad tidings.
[11.3] And ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will give you
enjoyment till a stated term and will give of His Bounty to those of grace. But if you turn
away, I fear for you the punishment of a Mighty Day.
[11.4] To Allah you shall all return. He has power over all things.
[11.5] See, they cover their chests to conceal from Him. But when they wrap themselves
in their clothes He knows what they hideeand what they reveal. Indeed, He knows every thought within the chest.
[11.6] There is not a crawling (creature) on the earth whose provision is not by Allah. He
knows its resting-place and its repository. All is in a Clear Book.
[11.7] It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and His Throne was
upon the waters - that He might try you,c(and see) which of you excel in works. If you
say: 'After death you shall be raised up,' the unbelievers will say: 'This is nothing but clear sorcery.'
[11.8] And if We delay the punishment till an appointed time, they will ask: 'What has
