and then flowing with ease,

and, commanding, distributing (the affairs among authorized angels),

that verily, that which you are promised is absolutely true!

And verily the Religion (Reckoning; the Reward or Punishment) will most surely happen.

And by the skies full of circular routes.

Most surely you are in a conflicting opinion (thought).

Cursed be the liars.

They are those who are in heedless ignorance.

Those who receive what their Lord has given them; verily, before that they were Muhsinîn (submit their body to Allah),

And in the earth there are Signs (of Allah) for those who (at the level of Ainel Yakin) firmly believe,

Has the news of Abraham’s honored guests come to you?

When they entered upon him, they said: “Peace”! (Abraham also) said: “Peace, strangers”.

Upon that (Abraham) went to his family secretly and brought a fat (roasted) calf.

So he brought (offered) it (the food) to them, said: “Will you not eat”?

Then his wife reacted (to this news) crying and striking her face, she said: “I am an old barren woman”!

They said: “This is what your Lord commands”. Surely, He is the All-Wise, All-Knowing.

(Abraham) said: “What do you intend to say then, O Messengers”!

They said: “Surely We have been sent to a guilty people,

to send down upon them stones of clay.

But We did not find therein but a single house of those who are Muslims (submitted ones).

And We left therein a proof for those who fear the painful torment.

And in (the people of) Âd (there were proofs). We had sent upon them a destroying hurricane,

who turned everything he passed over into a like of ashes, leaving nothing behind.

And remind with advice. Surely the reminder benefits the believers.

And I have created the jinn and the mankind (for no other reason but only) that they should become servants to Me.

Surely Allah, He is the gives provision, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.
