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.
إِنَّما مَثَلُ الحَياةِ الدُّنيا كَماءٍ أَنزَلناهُ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَاختَلَطَ بِهِ نَباتُ الأَرضِ مِمّا يَأكُلُ النّاسُ وَالأَنعامُ حَتّىٰ إِذا أَخَذَتِ الأَرضُ زُخرُفَها وَازَّيَّنَت وَظَنَّ أَهلُها أَنَّهُم قادِرونَ عَلَيها أَتاها أَمرُنا لَيلًا أَو نَهارًا فَجَعَلناها حَصيدًا كَأَن لَم تَغنَ بِالأَمسِ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَتَفَكَّرونَ
The likeness of the life of this world is as water which We send down from the sky; it mingles with the earth’s vegetation from which people and animals eat. But when the earth takes on its adornment and is beautified, and its people think they have mastery over it, Our order comes to it, by night or by day, and We render it a harvested field, as if it had not flourished the day before. So do We explain the verses for a people who ponder.
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.”
هُنالِكَ تَبلو كُلُّ نَفسٍ ما أَسلَفَت ۚ وَرُدّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ مَولاهُمُ الحَقِّ ۖ وَضَلَّ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَفتَرونَ
There, every soul will be recompensed for its deeds. They will be returned to God, their Lord, the True, and the false gods they invented will vanish from them.
قُل مَن يَرزُقُكُم مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ أَمَّن يَملِكُ السَّمعَ وَالأَبصارَ وَمَن يُخرِجُ الحَيَّ مِنَ المَيِّتِ وَيُخرِجُ المَيِّتَ مِنَ الحَيِّ وَمَن يُدَبِّرُ الأَمرَ ۚ فَسَيَقولونَ اللَّهُ ۚ فَقُل أَفَلا تَتَّقونَ
Ask them, “Who sustains you from the heavens and the earth? Who controls hearing and sight? Who brings the living from the dead, and the dead from the living? Who orchestrates all affairs?” They will answer, “God.” Then say, “Won’t you be cautious?”
فَذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ الحَقُّ ۖ فَماذا بَعدَ الحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلالُ ۖ فَأَنّىٰ تُصرَفونَ
This is God, your true Lord. What is there beyond truth except falsehood? How are you then turned away?
كَذٰلِكَ حَقَّت كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذينَ فَسَقوا أَنَّهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ
Thus is the word of your Lord justified against those who sin: they don’t believe.
