Verses
Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.Nün. By the pen and what they write.[1] By the grace of your Rabb you are not a madman,[2] and you shall have a never ending reward.[3] You are of the highest noble character.[4] Soon you will see – as they will see[5] – which of you is afflicted with madness.[6] Surely it is your Lord who knows those who have strayed from His Way, as He knows best those who are rightly guided.[7] So do not yield to the unbelievers.[8] They desire you to compromise a little, so they too would compromise.[9] Neither yield to any mean oath-monger,[10] mischief making slanderer,[11] opponent of good, transgressor,[12] wicked oppressor, and above all, ignoble by birth,[13] though he be possessing wealth and children.[14] When Our revelations are recited to him , he says: “They are nothing but the tales of the ancients.”[15] Soon We shall brand him on the snout.[16] 68:[1-16]
Ameen.
