9* Verily this Quran doth guide to that which is most right (or stable), and giveth the Glad Tidings to the Believers who work deeds of righteousness, that they shall have a magnificent reward;  
| |10* And to those who believe not in the Hereafter, (it announceth) that We have prepared for them a Chastisement Grievous (indeed).  
| |11* Man prays for evil as he prays for good; for man is given to hasty (deeds).  
| |12* We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We made dark, while the Sign of the Day We have made bright; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.  
| |13* Every man's fate We have fastened on his own neck: On the Day of Judgment We shall bring out for him a scroll, which he will see spread open.  
| |14* (It will be said to him:) "Read thine (own) record: Sufficient is thy soul this day to make out an account against thee."  
| |15* Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss. No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We punish until We had sent a messenger (to give warning).  
| |16* When We decide to destroy a population, We command those among them who are given the good things of this life (to be obedient), but they continued to transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then We destroy them utterly.  
| |17* How many generations have We destroyed after Noah? and enough is thy Lord to note and see the sins of His servants.  
| |18* If any do wish for the transitory things (of this life), We readily grant them - such things as We will, to such person as We will: in the end have We provided Hell for them: they will burn therein, disgraced and rejected.
