Essential Koran

The Night of Power [97:1-5] 
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate

Behold, WE sent it down on the Night of Power; And what shall teach thee what is the Night of Power? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months; in it the angels and the Spirit descend, by the leave of their Lord, upon every command. Peace it is, till the rising of the dawn.

The Religion of Truth [98:1-5] 
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate

The unbelievers of the People of the Book and the idolaters would never leave off, till the Clear Sign came to them, a Messenger from God, reciting pages purified, therein true Books. And they scattered not, those that were given the Book, excepting after the Clear Sign came to them. They were commanded only to serve God, making the religion His sincerely, men of pure faith, and to perform the prayer, and pay the alms -- that is the religion of the True.

Mother Earth [99:1-8] 
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate

When earth is shaken with a mighty shaking and earth brings forth burdens, and Man says, 'What ails her?' upon that day she shall tell her tidings for that her Lord has inspired her. Upon that day men shall issue in scatterings to see their works, and whoso has done an atom's weight of good shall see it, and whoso has done an atom's weight of evil shall see it.

True Gratitude [100:6-11] 
Surely Man is ungrateful to his Lord, and surely he is a witness against that! Surely he is passionate in his love for the good things. Knows he not that when that which is in the tombs is overthrown, and that which is in the breasts are brought out -- surely on that day their Lord shall be aware of them!

The Balance of Justice [101:6-11] 
Then he whose deeds weigh heavy in the Balance shall inherit a pleasing life, but he whose deeds weigh light in the Balance shall plunge in the womb of the Pit. And what shall teach thee what is the Pit? A blazing Fire!

True Spiritual Joy [102:1-8] 
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate

Gross rivalry diverts you, even till you visit the tombs. No indeed; but soon you shall know. Again, no indeed; but soon you shall know. No indeed; did you know with the knowledge of certainty, you shall surely see Hell. Again, you shall surely see it with the eye of certainty then you shall be questioned that day concerning true bliss.
