وَمِنهُم مَن يَنظُرُ إِلَيكَ ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهدِي العُميَ وَلَو كانوا لا يُبصِرونَ
Among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind, even if they can’t see?
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَظلِمُ النّاسَ شَيئًا وَلـٰكِنَّ النّاسَ أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ
God doesn’t do any injustice to people, instead, people do injustice to themselves.
وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم كَأَن لَم يَلبَثوا إِلّا ساعَةً مِنَ النَّهارِ يَتَعارَفونَ بَينَهُم ۚ قَد خَسِرَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِلِقاءِ اللَّهِ وَما كانوا مُهتَدينَ
On the Day when He gathers them all, it will seem as if they had only lingered for an hour of a day, familiarizing themselves with each other. Those who denied the encounter with God and were not guided will be the ones to suffer loss.
وَإِمّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعضَ الَّذي نَعِدُهُم أَو نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَينا مَرجِعُهُم ثُمَّ اللَّهُ شَهيدٌ عَلىٰ ما يَفعَلونَ
Whether We show you some of what We’ve promised them, or We take your life before that, their ultimate return is to Us. Then, God is the Witness over what they do.
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسولٌ ۖ فَإِذا جاءَ رَسولُهُم قُضِيَ بَينَهُم بِالقِسطِ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ
Every nation has a messenger. When their messenger arrives, judgment is passed upon them justly, and they won’t be wronged.
وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ
They inquire, “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”
قُل لا أَملِكُ لِنَفسي ضَرًّا وَلا نَفعًا إِلّا ما شاءَ اللَّهُ ۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۚ إِذا جاءَ أَجَلُهُم فَلا يَستَأخِرونَ ساعَةً ۖ وَلا يَستَقدِمونَ
Reply, “I have no control over any harm or benefit to myself, except as God wills. For every nation, there is a predetermined time. When their time arrives, they can neither delay it by an hour nor advance it.”
قُل أَرَأَيتُم إِن أَتاكُم عَذابُهُ بَياتًا أَو نَهارًا ماذا يَستَعجِلُ مِنهُ المُجرِمونَ
Say, “Have you considered: whether His punishment comes to you by night or by day, how much of it will the criminals seek to hasten?”
أَثُمَّ إِذا ما وَقَعَ آمَنتُم بِهِ ۚ آلآنَ وَقَد كُنتُم بِهِ تَستَعجِلونَ
“Will you only believe when it happens? Now? Even though you were impatient for it?”
ثُمَّ قيلَ لِلَّذينَ ظَلَموا ذوقوا عَذابَ الخُلدِ هَل تُجزَونَ إِلّا بِما كُنتُم تَكسِبونَ
Then, those who acted unjustly will be told, “Taste the everlasting torment. Are you being compensated except for what you used to earn?”
وَيَستَنبِئونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ ۖ قُل إي وَرَبّي إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ ۖ وَما أَنتُم بِمُعجِزينَ
They question you, “Is this the truth?” Respond, “Yes, by my Lord, it’s the truth, and you can’t escape from it.”
