وَما كانَ النّاسُ إِلّا أُمَّةً واحِدَةً فَاختَلَفوا ۚ وَلَولا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَت مِن رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم فيما فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

Humanity was once a single community, before differences emerged. If not for a prior decree from your Lord, their disputes would’ve been settled.

وَيَقولونَ لَولا أُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ آيَةٌ مِن رَبِّهِ ۖ فَقُل إِنَّمَا الغَيبُ لِلَّهِ فَانتَظِروا إِنّي مَعَكُم مِنَ المُنتَظِرينَ

They say, “If only a miracle from his Lord would come to him.” Say, “The unseen belongs to God. So wait; I am waiting with you.”

وَإِذا أَذَقنَا النّاسَ رَحمَةً مِن بَعدِ ضَرّاءَ مَسَّتهُم إِذا لَهُم مَكرٌ في آياتِنا ۚ قُلِ اللَّهُ أَسرَعُ مَكرًا ۚ إِنَّ رُسُلَنا يَكتُبونَ ما تَمكُرونَ

When We grant humans mercy after hardship has touched them, they scheme against Our revelations. Say, “God is swifter in planning.” Indeed, Our messengers write down what you scheme.

هُوَ الَّذي يُسَيِّرُكُم فِي البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا كُنتُم فِي الفُلكِ وَجَرَينَ بِهِم بِريحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحوا بِها جاءَتها ريحٌ عاصِفٌ وَجاءَهُمُ المَوجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكانٍ وَظَنّوا أَنَّهُم أُحيطَ بِهِم ۙ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ لَئِن أَنجَيتَنا مِن هـٰذِهِ لَنَكونَنَّ مِنَ الشّاكِرينَ

It is He who transports you across land and sea. When you are aboard ships, sailing with a favorable wind, rejoicing in it, a gale strikes. The waves come at them from every side, and they think they are encompassed, they call upon God, devoting their religion sincerely to Him: “If You save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful.”

فَلَمّا أَنجاهُم إِذا هُم يَبغونَ فِي الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ ۗ يا أَيُّهَا النّاسُ إِنَّما بَغيُكُم عَلىٰ أَنفُسِكُم ۖ مَتاعَ الحَياةِ الدُّنيا ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَينا مَرجِعُكُم فَنُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ

But when He saves them, they transgress unjustly on earth. O people, your transgression is only against yourselves—the enjoyment of worldly life. Then, to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

وَاللَّهُ يَدعو إِلىٰ دارِ السَّلامِ وَيَهدي مَن يَشاءُ إِلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ

God invites to the Home of Peace and guides whom He wills to a straight path.

لِلَّذينَ أَحسَنُوا الحُسنىٰ وَزِيادَةٌ ۖ وَلا يَرهَقُ وُجوهَهُم قَتَرٌ وَلا ذِلَّةٌ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ الجَنَّةِ ۖ هُم فيها خالِدونَ

For those who do good, there is excellence, and more. No darkness will cover their faces, nor will they be humiliated. These are the inhabitants of Paradise, dwelling therein forever.

وَالَّذينَ كَسَبُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ جَزاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ بِمِثلِها وَتَرهَقُهُم ذِلَّةٌ ۖ ما لَهُم مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن عاصِمٍ ۖ كَأَنَّما أُغشِيَت وُجوهُهُم قِطَعًا مِنَ اللَّيلِ مُظلِمًا ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ النّارِ ۖ هُم فيها خالِدونَ

Those who commit evil will be repaid with an equivalent evil, and humiliation will cover them. They will have no one to protect them from God—as if their faces are covered with pieces of the pitch-dark night. These are the inhabitants of the Fire, where they will abide eternally.

وَيَومَ نَحشُرُهُم جَميعًا ثُمَّ نَقولُ لِلَّذينَ أَشرَكوا مَكانَكُم أَنتُم وَشُرَكاؤُكُم ۚ فَزَيَّلنا بَينَهُم ۖ وَقالَ شُرَكاؤُهُم ما كُنتُم إِيّانا تَعبُدونَ

On the Day when We gather them all together, We will say to those who associated, “Stay in your place, you and your partners.” We will separate between them, and their partners will say, “It wasn’t us you were worshiping.”

فَكَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهيدًا بَينَنا وَبَينَكُم إِن كُنّا عَن عِبادَتِكُم لَغافِلينَ

“God is sufficient as a witness between us and you; we were unaware of your worship.”
