Order of Revelation: 39وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا وَذَرُوا الَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِي أَسْمَائِهِ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Walillahi al-asmao alhusna faodAAoohu biha watharoo allatheena yulhidoona fee asma-ihi sayujzawna ma kanoo yaAAmaloona
And for Allah (are) the names - the most beautiful, so invoke Him by them. And leave those who deviate concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they used to do.
AND GOD'S [alone] are the attributes of perfection; invoke Him, then, by these, and stand aloof from all who distort the meaning of His attributes: they shall be requited for all that they were wont to do!
The most beautiful names belong to God: so call on him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in his names: for what they do, they will soon be requited.
Allah's are the fairest names. Invoke Him by them. And leave the company of those who blaspheme His names. They will be requited what they do.
And Allah's are the best names, so call on Him thereby and leave alone those who violate the sanctity of His names. They will be recompensed for what they do.
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ
Wamimman khalaqna ommatun yahdoona bialhaqqi wabihi yaAAdiloona

وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Waallatheena kaththaboo bi-ayatina sanastadrijuhum min haythu la yaAAlamoona
But those who denied Our Signs, We will gradually lead them from where not they know.
But as for those who are bent on giving the lie to Our messages-We shall bring them low, step by step, without their perceiving how it came about:
Those who reject Our signs, We shall gradually visit with punishment, in ways they perceive not;
And those who deny Our revelations - step by step We lead them on from whence they know not.

وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ
Waomlee lahum inna kaydee mateenun
And I will give respite to them. Indeed, My plan (is) firm.
for, behold, though I may give them rein for a while. My subtle scheme is exceedingly firm!
Respite will I grant unto them: for My scheme is strong (and unfailing).

And I grant them respite. Surely My scheme is effective.
And I will give them time. Indeed, my plan is firm.
أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا مَا بِصَاحِبِهِم مِّن جِنَّةٍ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
Awa lam yatafakkaroo ma bisahibihim min jinnatin in huwa illa natheerun mubeenun

أَوَلَمْ يَنظُرُوا فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ وَأَنْ عَسَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَبِأَيِّ حَدِيثٍ بَعْدَهُ يُؤْمِنُونَ
Awalam yanthuroo fee malakooti alssamawati waal-ardi wama khalaqa Allahu min shay-in waan AAasa an yakoona qadi iqtaraba ajaluhum fabi-ayyi hadeethin baAAdahu yu/minoona
Do not they look in (the) dominion (of) the heavens and the earth and what Allah has created of (every)thing and that perhaps [that] has verily come near - their term? So in what statement after this will they believe?
Have they, then, never considered [God's] mighty dominion over the heavens and the earth, and all the things that God has created, and [asked themselves] whether, perchance, the end of their own term might already have drawn nigh? In what other tiding, then, will they, after this, believe?
