A Scripture was revealed to you, so let there be no anxiety in your heart because of it. You are to warn with it—and a reminder for the believers.
Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord, and do not follow other masters beside Him. Little you recollect.
How many a town have We destroyed? Our might came upon them by night, or while they were napping.
When Our might came upon them, their only cry was, "We were indeed wrongdoers."
We will question those to whom messengers were sent, and We will question the messengers.
We will narrate to them with knowledge, for We were never absent.
The scales on that Day will be just. Those whose weights are heavy—it is they who are the successful.
But as for those whose weights are light—it is they who have lost their souls, because they used to mistreat Our revelations.
We have established you firmly on earth, and made for you in it livelihood—but rarely do you give thanks.
