The Arabic Holy Quran revealed upon the prophet Mohamed (PBUH) during the years 609-632 CE is divided into 114 chapters, of which 86 chapters were revealed in Mecca, and 28 chapters revealed in The Madinah

Those revealed in Mecca deal primarily with the "Islamic Creed" including belief in Allah, the Omnipresent and Eternal, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Resurrection and Judgment Day, and the divine preordination of good and evil.

Those revealed in The Madinah deal mainly with moral principles, legislation, community development, and warfare.

Allah Knows Best


 


Before reading the Quran say:

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the condemned


With the name of Allah the gracious the merciful.

(Acknowledge and declare that Allah is the author of Quran)


Start:


1- By the Tur.

Allah highlights the visible Mount Tur as a significant sign, the very place where He spoke directly to Moses (PBUH).

 

2- And the aligned book.

(Allah highlights to his visible inscribed book (in this case the Torah), and that it is consistent and aligned in meanings and commands)

 

3- In a fine parchment spread.

(This clear aligned book in parchments spread open, within it nothing to hide, and should be displayed publicly in confidence to be inspected by anyone who seeks guidance)

 

4- And the inhabited house.

Allah highlights the visible Kaaba in Mecca as another sign. The Kaaba, built by Ibrahim and his son Ismaeel thousands of years ago, serves as the prayer direction for billions of Muslims daily and continues to be visited by millions of believers from around the world.

 

5- And the elevated roof.

(Allah highlights the visible Elevated raised majestic sky)

 

6- And the swarming (poured, contained, overflowed, interwind, permeate) sea.

(Allah highlights the visibly contained seas with sweet and salty water, That is kept from the land, lest it overflow and floods its inhabitants, and also the that will sea turn to fire on Judgment Day)

 

7) Indeed your God's torment will fall.

(Allah warns and affirms. That or sure by these above visible signs, the now unseen torment of Judgment Day will happen)

 

8- It has no preventer.

(Nothing has authority over the one God to prevent Judgment day)

 

9- The day the sky sways.

(Shakes and cracks like old cloth and feathers away)

 

10- And the mountains marsh.

(Crumble marshes away & vanishes)

 

11) Woe that day unto the deniers.

(Deniers of God’s Judgment day and its torments)

 

12- Whom they in their shallow water playing?

(The deniers that are not following Allah’s guidance, they are the ones blindly playing in murky dangerous water (i.e. This life) with no guidance, in other words playing with fire)

 

13- The day they are thrust to hell fire violently.

 

14- This is the fire that you kept denying.

(God pointing to those who might not deny judgment day, but they  deny God’s torment and hellfire)

 

15- Is this magic or you do not, see?

(Prophets used to be Mocked as being magicians, and asked to show the deniers God’s torment if it is true)

 

 

16- Burn in it, be patient or impatient, same for you, you are being penalized for what you kept doing.

 

17) Rather/Indeed the piously, in gardens and grace.

 

18- Joyful of what their God brought them,

and their God fend them (Forever) from hell’s (inferno)

torments.

 

19- Eat and drink blissfully for what you kept doing.

 

20- Reclining (peacefully and pleasantly) on aligned couches,

and We paired them to assigned Houris (pleasant on the yes companions)

 

21) And those who believed (One God faith) and were followed by their off-springs in belief,

 We will join to them their off-springs (will catch up with their off-springs to them, and upgrade them to their parent's status if needed) and will not deprive them (parents) of their deeds anything (upgrade at no cost) everyone with his deeds is pawned (Everyone’s deed belongs to themselves. Your soul is pawned with God who gave you life in return, and your deeds are the payback and the only way to qualify for God‘s mercy and your salvation)

 

22- And We will provide them with fruits and meats that they crave.

 

23- They will squabble (joyfully) a cup was in it no ill talk (vanity) nor misdeed (offense, sin)

 

24- And will roam among them lades for them (dedicated to serving them only) as if they are

hidden pearls (pure in their shells)

 

25- And some of them will be approached by others inquiring

 

26- They will say, we were before (in the worldly life) among our people pitying (obeying Allah and compassionate to his creation)

 

27- So, Allah granted upon us (above and beyond our deeds) and protected us from the torment of the porous fire (sharp fire that penetrates the skin pores)

 

28- We used before (worldly life) to pray to Him (call upon him for mercy, besides our good deeds) He is the all-righteous all-merciful.

 

29) So, remind (Oh! Muhammed (Pbuh), re-remind them of Allah’s path)

for you are not by your God’s grace  (the Quran) a priest (mystic, psychic, gypsy, fortune teller)

nor a madman.

 

30- Or they say “he (Muhammed (Pbuh)) is a poet we will lurk by him until his calamity and his demise. (Life hardship hits him until his poetry runs out, or he is foregone)

 

31- Say lurk I am with you among the lurkers.

 

32) Or do their minds order them (their minds and hopes dictate to them to disbelieve, based on their self-desires, instead of allowing their innate minds to contemplate the truth and the path to Allah)

or are they tyrants (oppressors, to not only their innate selves, but also to people, and strayed far from Allah’s path, so it is  not in their best interest to believe and follow God’s path)

 

33- Or they say he worded it (fabricated the Quran)

rather they do not believe. (They are just arrogant and in denial)

 

34) Then let them bring (produce) a speech like it (Quran) if they are truthful (to themselves and claiming that Muhammed (Pbuh) fabricated the Quran)

 

35- Or they were created by nothing or they were the creators.

 

36- Or they created the heavens and the earth and they are not sure (or aware of it).

 

37- Or do they have your God’s depositaries (of livelihood) or are they the destined? (Controllers of destiny and fate)

 

38- Or they have a stairway (to the havens to get another Quran) they listen in it,

then let their listener bring a clear authority. (proof of authority e.g., similar to the Quran)

 

39) Or for Him the daughters and for you (God addressing the disbelievers directly as, you)  the sons. (As disbeliever favored sons over daughters, and claims God has only female angels)

 

40- Or you (Muhammed (Pbuh)) are asking them fees (subscription fees to follow God's path through the Quran),

or they are in penalties drowned. (They cannot listen to the message in the Quran as they are busily drowned in debt)

 

41- Or they have (knowledge of) the unknown (unseen) that they write it. (They do not care as they write, re-write and manage the unknown future. Only God writes and re-write destiny based on your actions, or his mercy)

 

42- Or they intend to plot (secretly),

rather the disbelievers are the plotted against. (by Allah openly that no one can halt)

 

43- Or do they have another deity but Allah (Where is he? & do they hope He will save and support them) glory to Allah over what they claim to partner.

 

44) And even if they see a huge fragment of the sky falling,

they say heap of clouds. ( Even if a sign from God falls on them disbelievers polytheists, they still due to their stubbornness and arrogance, they do not believe in God, and they just give these signs worldly reasoning, like it’s just piled up clouds, or because so and so)

 

45) So, drop them, until they meet their day in which they will be thunderstruck.

(Thunderstruck at Judgment day from the sky by the caller they arrogantly denied

during their worldly life)

 

46- The day that their plotting will not earn them anything and they will not be helped. (victorious)

 

47- And those transgressors (transgressors upon themselves and others) for them torment beside that (will be tormented in this world and afterlife) but most of them do not know. (or realize, because they have no knowledge of the Quran)

 

48) And be patient for your God’s judgment you are in our sight (at the highest honor watched over) and praise your God when you rise. (From sleep, or at all times you act)

 

49- And parts of the night, and at the backend of the stars. (Means praise Allah all the times)
