Alif. Lam. Ra. These are verses of the Scripture and a plain Reading.
Alif-Laaam-Raa; tilka Aayaatul Kitaabi wa Qur-aa-nim Mubeen
It may be that those who disbelieve wish ardently that they were Muslims.
Rubamaa yawaddul lazeena kafaroo law kaanoo muslimeen
Let them eat and enjoy life, and let (false) hope beguile them. They will come to know!

Wa qaaloo yaaa aiyuhal lazee nuzzila 'alaihiz Zikru innaka lamajnoon
Why bringest thou not angels unto us, if thou art of the truthful?

We verily sent (messengers) before thee among the factions of the men of old.
Wa laqad arsalnaa min qablika fee shiya'il awwaleen
And never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him.
Wa maa yaateehim mir Rasoolin illaa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon
Thus do We make it traverse the hearts of the guilty:
kazaalika naslukuhoo fee quloobil mujrimeen
They believe not therein, though the example of the men of old hath gone before.
Laa yu'minoona bihee wa qad khalat sunnatul awwaleen
And even if We opened unto them a gate of heaven and they kept mounting through it,
Wa law fatahnaa 'alaihim baabam minas samaaa'i fazaloo feehi ya'rujoon
They would say: Our sight is wrong - nay, but we are folk bewitched.
Laqaaloo innamaa sukkirat absaarunaa bal nahnu qawmum mashooroon
And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders.

And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure.
Wa im min shai'in illaa 'indanaa khazaaa 'inuhoo wa maa nunazziluhooo illaa biqadarim ma'loom
And We send the winds fertilising, and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store thereof.
Wa arsalnar riyaaha la waaqiha fa anzalnaa minas samaaa'i maaa'an fa asqai naakumoohu wa maaa antum lahoo bikhaazineen
