وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِ اللَّهِ فَتَكونَ مِنَ الخاسِرينَ
And don’t be among those who deny God’s messages, lest you be among the losers.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ حَقَّت عَلَيهِم كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤمِنونَ
Those upon whom your Lord’s decree has been realized won’t believe.
وَلَو جاءَتهُم كُلُّ آيَةٍ حَتّىٰ يَرَوُا العَذابَ الأَليمَ
Even if every sign were to come to them—until they see the severe punishment.
فَلَولا كانَت قَريَةٌ آمَنَت فَنَفَعَها إيمانُها إِلّا قَومَ يونُسَ لَمّا آمَنوا كَشَفنا عَنهُم عَذابَ الخِزيِ فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَمَتَّعناهُم إِلىٰ حينٍ
No community has ever believed and benefited from their faith except the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the torment of disgrace in this worldly life, and We permitted them to enjoy for a while.
وَلَو شاءَ رَبُّكَ لَآمَنَ مَن فِي الأَرضِ كُلُّهُم جَميعًا ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكرِهُ النّاسَ حَتّىٰ يَكونوا مُؤمِنينَ
If your Lord had willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Would you then compel people to become believers?
وَما كانَ لِنَفسٍ أَن تُؤمِنَ إِلّا بِإِذنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَيَجعَلُ الرِّجسَ عَلَى الَّذينَ لا يَعقِلونَ
No soul can believe except by the permission of God. And He places defilement upon those who don’t reason.
قُلِ انظُروا ماذا فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ وَما تُغنِي الآياتُ وَالنُّذُرُ عَن قَومٍ لا يُؤمِنونَ
Say, “Observe what’s in the heavens and the earth.” But neither signs nor warnings will avail those who don’t believe.
فَهَل يَنتَظِرونَ إِلّا مِثلَ أَيّامِ الَّذينَ خَلَوا مِن قَبلِهِم ۚ قُل فَانتَظِروا إِنّي مَعَكُم مِنَ المُنتَظِرينَ
Do they expect anything but the likes of the days of those who passed before them? Say, “Then wait; I am waiting with you.”
ثُمَّ نُنَجّي رُسُلَنا وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَينا نُنجِ المُؤمِنينَ
Thus, We rescue Our messengers and those who believe. Thus, it is incumbent upon Us to save the believers.
قُل يا أَيُّهَا النّاسُ إِن كُنتُم في شَكٍّ مِن ديني فَلا أَعبُدُ الَّذينَ تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلـٰكِن أَعبُدُ اللَّهَ الَّذي يَتَوَفّاكُم ۖ وَأُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ
Say, “O people, if you doubt my religion, I don’t worship those whom you worship besides God, but I worship God, who ultimately takes your life. I have been commanded to be among the believers.”
وَأَن أَقِم وَجهَكَ لِلدّينِ حَنيفًا وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ
Be upright to the religion of pure monotheism, and never count yourself among the polytheists.
