إِنَّ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنا وَرَضوا بِالحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَاطمَأَنّوا بِها وَالَّذينَ هُم عَن آياتِنا غافِلونَ
Those who don’t anticipate meeting Us and are content with life in this world, feel safe in it, and are ignorant of Our signs.
أُولـٰئِكَ مَأواهُمُ النّارُ بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ
For them, their refuge will be the Fire, because of what they used to earn.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ يَهديهِم رَبُّهُم بِإيمانِهِم ۖ تَجري مِن تَحتِهِمُ الأَنهارُ في جَنّاتِ النَّعيمِ
But for those who believe and perform righteous deeds, their Lord will guide them by their faith. Rivers will flow beneath them in the Gardens of Bliss.
دَعواهُم فيها سُبحانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُم فيها سَلامٌ ۚ وَآخِرُ دَعواهُم أَنِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العالَمينَ
Their prayer therein will be, “Glorified are You, O God,” and their greeting therein will be, “Peace.” And the conclusion of their prayer will be, “Praise be to God, the Lord of the universes.”
وَلَو يُعَجِّلُ اللَّهُ لِلنّاسِ الشَّرَّ استِعجالَهُم بِالخَيرِ لَقُضِيَ إِلَيهِم أَجَلُهُم ۖ فَنَذَرُ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنا في طُغيانِهِم يَعمَهونَ
If God were to hasten evil for people, as they hasten good, their time would have been over. But We leave those who don’t look forward to meeting Us in their transgressions, blundering.
وَإِذا مَسَّ الإِنسانَ الضُّرُّ دَعانا لِجَنبِهِ أَو قاعِدًا أَو قائِمًا فَلَمّا كَشَفنا عَنهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَن لَم يَدعُنا إِلىٰ ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلمُسرِفينَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ
When adversity touches a person, he prays to Us, whether lying on his side, sitting, or standing. But when We remove his adversity, he proceeds as if he had not reached out to Us in a predicament. Thus, the deeds of the transgressors are made to appear pleasing to them.
وَلَقَد أَهلَكنَا القُرونَ مِن قَبلِكُم لَمّا ظَلَموا ۙ وَجاءَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ وَما كانوا لِيُؤمِنوا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي القَومَ المُجرِمينَ
We destroyed generations before you when they committed injustices. Their messengers had come to them with clear proofs, but were not going to believe. Thus do We recompense the guilty people.
ثُمَّ جَعَلناكُم خَلائِفَ فِي الأَرضِ مِن بَعدِهِم لِنَنظُرَ كَيفَ تَعمَلونَ
Then We made you successors in the earth after them—to see how you will behave.
وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ ۙ قالَ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنَا ائتِ بِقُرآنٍ غَيرِ هـٰذا أَو بَدِّلهُ ۚ قُل ما يَكونُ لي أَن أُبَدِّلَهُ مِن تِلقاءِ نَفسي ۖ إِن أَتَّبِعُ إِلّا ما يوحىٰ إِلَيَّ ۖ إِنّي أَخافُ إِن عَصَيتُ رَبّي عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
When Our clear verses are conveyed to them, those who don’t expect to meet Us say, “Bring us a Quran other than this, or change it.” Say, “It’s not for me to modify it of my own. I only follow what’s revealed to me. Should I disobey my Lord, I fear the punishment of a great Day.”
قُل لَو شاءَ اللَّهُ ما تَلَوتُهُ عَلَيكُم وَلا أَدراكُم بِهِ ۖ فَقَد لَبِثتُ فيكُم عُمُرًا مِن قَبلِهِ ۚ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ
Say, “Had God willed, I wouldn’t have conveyed it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. I have lived among you a lifetime before it; will you not use your reason?”
فَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّنِ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَو كَذَّبَ بِآياتِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُفلِحُ المُجرِمونَ
Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about God or denies His signs? Surely, the transgressors won’t succeed.
