THIS CHAPTER containing 29 verses in four sections from the Madinese period was revealed after The Earthquake 99 and before Muhammad 47. It is composed in a different style from those immediately before and after it, because its verses are longer, like those found in other chapters composed in Madina. It begins in a lyric mood with a hymn to God's omnipresence (i) and then presents a picture of hypocrites begging for light to guide them (ii). Other subjects discussed are showers of rain (iii), different prophets (iv), monasticism and finally God's bounty or grace. Iron, which gives the chapter its title, is mentioned as the source of physical power (iii). In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful! A Hymn to God (i)

Let them not act like the ones who were given the Book previously: the waiting period seemed too long for them, so their hearts were hardened, and many of them became immoral. أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذ‍ِ‍ي‍‍نَ ‌آمَنُ‍‍و‌ا‌ ‌أَ‌نْ تَ‍‍خْ‍‍شَعَ قُ‍‍لُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْ‍‍ر‍ِ‍‌ ‌ال‍‍لَّهِ ‌وَمَا‌ نَزَلَ مِنَ ‌الْحَ‍‍قّ‍‍ِ ‌وَلاَ‌ يَكُونُو‌ا‌ كَ‍الَّذ‍ِ‍ي‍‍نَ ‌أ‍ُ‍‌وتُو‌ا‌الْكِت‍‍َ‍ابَ مِ‍‌‍نْ قَ‍‍‍‍ب‍‍ْ‍لُ فَ‍‍ط‍‍‍‍َ‍الَ عَلَيْهِمُ ‌الأَمَدُ‌ فَ‍‍قَ‍‍سَتْ قُ‍‍لُوبُهُمْ ۖ ‌وَكَث‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍ر‌ٌ‌ مِنْهُمْ فَ‍‍اسِ‍‍ق‍‍‍‍ُ‍ونَ

It may be compared to showers where the plantlike amazes the incredulous: then it withers away and you see it turning yellow; soon it will be just stubble. In the Hereafter there will be both severe torment and forgiveness as well as approval on the part of God. Worldly life means only the enjoyment of illusion. ‍اعْلَمُ‍‍و‌ا‌ ‌أَنّ‍‍َ‍مَا‌ ‌الْحَي‍‍َ‍اةُ ‌ال‍‍دُّن‍‍ْ‍يَا‌ لَعِبٌ‌ ‌وَلَهْو‌ٌ‌ ‌وَ‌زِينَةٌ‌ ‌وَتَفَاخُ‍‍ر‌ٌ‌ بَيْنَكُمْ ‌وَتَكَاثُر‌‌ٌ‌ فِي ‌الأَمْو‌الِ ‌وَ‌الأَ‌وْلاَ‌دِ‌ ۖ كَمَثَلِ غَ‍‍يْثٍ ‌أَعْجَبَ ‌الْكُفّ‍‍َ‍ا‌‍رَ‌ نَبَاتُه ُ‌ ثُ‍‍مَّ يَه‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍جُ فَتَر‍َ‍‌اه ُ‌ مُ‍‍صْ‍‍فَرّ‌ا‌‌ ً‌ ثُ‍‍مَّ يَك‍‍ُ‍ونُ حُ‍‍طَ‍‍اما‌‌ ًۖ ‌وَفِي ‌الآ‍‍خِ‍‍‍رَةِ عَذ‍َ‍‌اب‌‍ٌ‌ شَد‍ِ‍ي‍‍د‌ٌ‌ ‌وَمَ‍‍غْ‍‍فِ‍رَةٌ‌ مِنَ ‌ال‍‍لَّهِ ‌وَ‌رِ‍‍ضْ‍‍و‍َ‍‌انٌۚ ‌وَمَا‌ ‌الْحَي‍‍َ‍اةُ ‌ال‍‍دُّن‍‍ْ‍يَ‍‍ا‌ ‌إِلاَّ‌ مَت‍‍َ‍اعُ ‌الْ‍‍غُ‍‍ر‍ُ‍‌و‌ر‍ِ‍‌

Human Behavior
الَّذ‍ِ‍ي‍‍نَ يَ‍‍ب‍‍ْ‍‍‍خَ‍‍ل‍‍ُ‍ونَ ‌وَيَأْمُر‍ُ‍‌ونَ ‌ال‍‍نّ‍‍َ‍اسَ بِ‍الْبُ‍‍خْ‍‍لِ ۗ ‌وَمَ‍‍نْ يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ‌ال‍‍لَّهَ هُوَ‌ ‌الْ‍‍غَ‍‍نِيُّ ‌الْحَم‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍د‍ُ‍‌
Laqad 'Arsalnā Rusulanā Bil-Bayyināti Wa 'Anzalnā Ma`ahumu Al-Kitāba Wa Al-Mīzāna Liyaqūma An-Nāsu Bil-Qisţi ۖ Wa 'Anzalnā Al-Ĥadīda Fīhi Ba'sun Shadīdun Wa Manāfi`u Lilnnāsi Wa Liya`lama Al-Lahu Man Yanşuruhu Wa Rusulahu Bil-Ghaybi ۚ 'Inna Al-Laha Qawīyun `Azīzun    057-025* We have sent Our messengers with explanations, and sent the Book and the Balance down along with them, so that mankind may conduct themselves with all fairness. We have sent iron down laden with grim violence as well as (other) benefits for mankind, so that God may know who supports Him and His messengers even though [He is] Unseen. God is Strong, Powerful.
Other Prophets (iv)
لَ‍‍قَ‍‍‍‍دْ‌ ‌أَ‌رْسَلْنَا‌ ‌رُسُلَنَا‌ بِ‍الْبَيِّن‍‍َ‍اتِ ‌وَ‌أَ‌ن‍‍ْ‍زَلْنَا‌ مَعَهُمُ ‌الْكِت‍‍َ‍ابَ ‌وَ‌الْمِيز‍َ‍‌انَ لِيَ‍‍ق‍‍‍‍ُ‍ومَ ‌ال‍‍نّ‍‍َ‍اسُ بِ‍الْ‍‍قِ‍‍سْ‍‍طِ ۖ ‌وَ‌أَ‌ن‍‍ْ‍زَلْنَا‌ ‌الْحَد‍ِ‍ي‍‍دَ‌ ف‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍ه ِ‍ِ‍‌ بَأْس‌‍ٌ‌ شَد‍ِ‍ي‍‍د‌ٌ‌ ‌وَمَنَافِعُ لِل‍‍نّ‍‍َ‍اسِ ‌وَلِيَعْلَمَ ‌ال‍‍لَّهُ مَ‍‍نْ يَ‍‌‍ن‍‍ْ‍‍‍صُ‍‍رُه ُ‌ ‌وَ‌رُسُلَه ُ‌ بِ‍الْ‍‍غَ‍‍يْبِ ۚ ‌إِنَّ ‌ال‍‍لَّهَ قَ‍‍وِيٌّ عَز‍ِ‍ي‍‍ز‌‌ٌ
Wa Laqad 'Arsalnā Nūĥāan Wa 'Ibhīma Wa Ja`alnā Fī Dhurrīyatihimā An-Nubūwata Wa Al-Kitāba ۖ Faminhum Muhtadin ۖ Wa Kathīrun Minhum Fāsiqūna    057-026* We sent Noah and Abraham, and granted prophethood and the Book to the offspring of them both. Some of them have accepted guidance while many of them have been immoral. وَلَ‍‍قَ‍‍‍‍دْ‌ ‌أَ‌رْسَلْنَا‌ نُوحا‌‌ ً‌ ‌وَ‌إِب‍‍ْ‍‍رَ‌اه‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍مَ ‌وَجَعَلْنَا‌ فِي ‌ذُ‌رِّيَّتِهِمَا‌ ‌ال‍‍نّ‍‍ُ‍بُوَّةَ ‌وَ‌الْكِت‍‍َ‍ابَ ۖ فَمِنْهُ‍‍مْ مُهْتَد‌ٍۖ ‌وَكَث‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍ر‌ٌ‌ مِنْهُمْ فَ‍‍اسِ‍‍ق‍‍‍‍ُ‍ونَ
Thumma Qaffaynā `Alá 'Āthārihim Birusulinā Wa Qaffaynā Bi`īsá Abni Maryama Wa 'Ātaynāhu Al-'Injīla Wa Ja`alnā Fī Qulūbi Al-Ladhīna Attaba`ūhu Ra'fatan Wa Raĥmatan Wa Rahbānīyatan Abtada`ūhā Mā Katabnāhā `Alayhim 'Illā Abtighā'a Riđwāni Al-Lahi Famā Ra`awhā Ĥaqqa Ri`āyatihā ۖ Fa'ātaynā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Minhum 'Ajrahum ۖ Wa Kathīrun Minhum Fāsiqūna    057-027* Then We made Our messengers follow along in their footsteps and We followed them up with Jesus the son of Mary.
Christians and Monastcism We gave him the Gospel and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who have followed him, as well as monkhood; yet they initiated it: We did not prescribe it for them-accept through (their) aspiring for God's approval. They do not observe it in the way it should be observed. We gave their earnings to those of them who believe; yet many of them are immoral.
God's Bounty OR Grace
ثُ‍‍مَّ قَ‍‍فَّيْنَا‌ عَلَ‍‍ى‌ ‌آثَا‌رِهِ‍‍مْ بِرُسُلِنَا‌ ‌وَ‍‍قَ‍‍فَّيْنَا‌ بِعِيسَى‌ ‌اب‍‍ْ‍نِ مَرْيَمَ ‌وَ‌آتَيْن‍‍َ‍اهُ ‌الإِ‌ن‍‍ج‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍لَ ‌وَجَعَلْنَا‌ فِي قُ‍‍ل‍‍ُ‍وبِ ‌الَّذ‍ِ‍ي‍‍نَ ‌اتَّبَع‍‍ُ‍وه ُ‌ ‌‍رَ‌أْفَة ً‌ ‌وَ‌‍رَحْمَة ً‌ ‌وَ‌‍رَهْبَانِيَّة‌ ً‌اب‍‍ْ‍تَدَعُوهَا‌ مَا‌ كَتَ‍‍ب‍‍ْ‍نَاهَا‌ عَلَيْهِمْ ‌إِلاَّ‌ ‌اب‍‍ْ‍تِ‍‍غ‍‍‍‍َ‍ا‌ءَ‌ ‌رِ‍‍ضْ‍‍و‍َ‍‌انِ ‌ال‍‍لَّهِ فَمَا‌ ‌‍رَعَوْهَا‌ حَ‍‍قّ‍‍َ ‌رِعَايَتِهَا‌ ۖ فَآتَيْنَا‌ ‌الَّذ‍ِ‍ي‍‍نَ ‌آمَنُو‌ا‌ مِنْهُمْ ‌أَج‍‍ْ‍‍رَهُمْ ۖ ‌وَكَث‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍ر‌ٌ‌ مِنْهُمْ فَ‍‍اسِ‍‍ق‍‍‍‍ُ‍ونَ
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Attaqū Al-Laha Wa 'Āminū Birasūlihi Yu'utikum Kiflayni Min Raĥmatihi Wa Yaj`al Lakuman Tamshūna Bihi Wa Yaghfir Lakum Wa ۚ Allāhu Ghafūrun Raĥīmun    057-028* You who believe, heed God and believe in His messenger; He will give you double shares in His mercy and grant you a fight to walk by as well as forgive you. God is Forgiving, Merciful, ي‍‍َ‍ا‌أَيُّهَا‌ ‌الَّذ‍ِ‍ي‍‍نَ ‌آمَنُو‌ا‌اتَّ‍‍قُ‍‍و‌ا‌ال‍‍لَّهَ ‌وَ‌آمِنُو‌ا‌ بِ‍رَسُولِه ِ‍ِ‍‌ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِ‍‍نْ ‌‍رَحْمَتِه ِ‍ِ‍‌ ‌وَيَ‍‍ج‍‍ْ‍عَ‍‍لْ لَكُمْ نُو‌ر‌ا‌‌ ً‌ تَمْش‍‍ُ‍ونَ بِه ِ‍ِ‍‌ ‌وَيَ‍‍غْ‍‍فِرْ‌ لَكُمْ ‌وَ‌ال‍‍لَّهُ ۚ غَ‍‍ف‍‍ُ‍و‌ر‌ٌ‌ ‌‍رَح‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍م‌‍ٌ
Li'allā Ya`lama 'Ahlu Al-Kitābi 'Allā Yaqdirūna `Alá Shay'in Min Fađli Al-Lahi ۙ Wa 'Anna Al-Fađla Biyadi Al-Lahi Yu'utīhi Man Yashā'u Wa ۚ Allāhu Dhū Al-Fađli Al-`Ažīmi    057-029* so let the People of the Book know they can do nothing about God's bounty, since bounty lies [entirely] in God's hand. He gives it to anyone He wishes. God possesses such tremendous grace! لِئَلاَّ‌ يَعْلَمَ ‌أَهْلُ ‌الْكِت‍‍َ‍ابِ ‌أَلاَّ‌ يَ‍‍‍‍ق‍‍‍‍ْ‍دِ‌ر‍ُ‍‌ونَ عَلَى‌ شَيْء‌ٍ‌ مِ‍‌‍نْ فَ‍‍ضْ‍‍لِ ‌ال‍‍لَّهِ ۙ ‌وَ‌أَنَّ ‌الْفَ‍‍ضْ‍‍لَ بِيَدِ‌ ‌ال‍‍لَّهِ يُؤْت‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍ه ِ‍ِ‍‌ مَ‍‍نْ يَش‍‍َ‍ا‌ءُ‌ ۚ ‌وَ‌ال‍‍لَّهُ ‌ذُ‌و‌ ‌الْفَ‍‍ضْ‍‍لِ ‌الْعَ‍‍ظ‍‍‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍مِ
