Surah 15

And We gave them Our Signs, but they were averse to them.

And they used to hew out dwellings from the mountains (feeling themselves) secure.

But As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in the early morning (of the fourth day of their promised punishment days).

And all that they used to earn availed them not.

And We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth, and the Hour is surely coming, so overlook (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) their faults with gracious forgiveness. [This was before the ordainment of Jihâd - holy fighting in Allâh’s cause].

Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.

And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of Al-Mathâni (seven repeatedly recited Verses), (i.e. Sûrat Al-Fâtihah) and the Grand Qur’ân.[6]

Look not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them (the disbelievers), nor grieve over them. And lower your wings for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers).

And say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): "I am indeed a plain warner."

As We have sent down on the dividers, (Quraish pagans or Jews and Christians).

Who have made the Qur’ân into parts. (i.e. believed in one part and disbelieved in the other). [Tafsir At-Tabari]

So, by your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), We shall certainly call all of them to account.

For all that they used to do.

Therefore proclaim openly (Allâh’s Message - Islâmic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers - See V.2:105).

Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers,

Who set up along with Allâh another ilâh (god); but they will come to know.

Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say.

So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).[7]

And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death).[8]
