Sura 15: AL-HIJR (AL-HIJR) - Juz' 14 - Translation Yusufali

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ ﴿۱۱﴾
But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him. (11)
كَذَلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿۱۲﴾
Even so do we let it creep into the hearts of the sinners - (12)
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۱۳﴾
That they should not believe in the (Message); but the ways of the ancients have passed away. (13)
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَظَلُّوا فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ ﴿۱۴﴾
Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue (all day) ascending therein, (14)
لَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَسْحُورُونَ ﴿۱۵﴾
They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery." (15)
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ ﴿۱۶﴾
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair-seeming to (all) beholders; (16)
وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ ﴿۱۷﴾
And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil: (17)
إِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُبِينٌ ﴿۱۸﴾
But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see). (18)
وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَوْزُونٍ ﴿۱۹﴾
And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. (19)
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنْ لَسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ ﴿۲۰﴾
And We have provided therein means of subsistence,- for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible. (20)
