أَلا إِنَّ لِلَّهِ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ أَلا إِنَّ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ
Unquestionably! All that’s in the heavens and on earth belongs to God. Indeed, the promise of God is always true, yet most of them don’t have the knowledge.
هُوَ يُحيي وَيُميتُ وَإِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ
It is He who gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned.
يا أَيُّهَا النّاسُ قَد جاءَتكُم مَوعِظَةٌ مِن رَبِّكُم وَشِفاءٌ لِما فِي الصُّدورِ وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِلمُؤمِنينَ
O mankind, there has come to you advice from your Lord and healing for what’s in the hearts, and guidance and mercy for the believers.
قُل بِفَضلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحمَتِهِ فَبِذٰلِكَ فَليَفرَحوا هُوَ خَيرٌ مِمّا يَجمَعونَ
Say, “In the grace and mercy of God, let them rejoice. It is better than what they hoard.”
قُل أَرَأَيتُم ما أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُم مِن رِزقٍ فَجَعَلتُم مِنهُ حَرامًا وَحَلالًا قُل آللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُم ۖ أَم عَلَى اللَّهِ تَفتَرونَ
Say, “Did you consider what God sent down to you of provision, and yet you’ve made some of it lawful and some of it unlawful?” Ask, “Does God give you permission, or are you inventing lies about God?”
وَما ظَنُّ الَّذينَ يَفتَرونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذو فَضلٍ عَلَى النّاسِ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَشكُرونَ
What will those who fabricate falsehoods about God think on Resurrection Day? God is bountiful towards humankind, but most of them aren’t grateful.
وَما تَكونُ في شَأنٍ وَما تَتلو مِنهُ مِن قُرآنٍ وَلا تَعمَلونَ مِن عَمَلٍ إِلّا كُنّا عَلَيكُم شُهودًا إِذ تُفيضونَ فيهِ ۚ وَما يَعزُبُ عَن رَبِّكَ مِن مِثقالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِي الأَرضِ وَلا فِي السَّماءِ وَلا أَصغَرَ مِن ذٰلِكَ وَلا أَكبَرَ إِلّا في كِتابٍ مُبينٍ
Whatever activity you conduct, any portion of the Quran you recite, or whatever you are doing, We are witness over you when you are engaged in it. Not even an atom’s weight in the earth or sky escapes your Lord’s knowledge, nor is there anything smaller or larger that isn’t documented in a clear record.
أَلا إِنَّ أَولِياءَ اللَّهِ لا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ
Indeed, God’s allies will have no fear, nor will they grieve.
الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَكانوا يَتَّقونَ
Those who believe and are righteous.
لَهُمُ البُشرىٰ فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ ۚ لا تَبديلَ لِكَلِماتِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ
There is good news for them in this life and the Hereafter. God’s promises are unchangeable. That is the supreme victory.
وَلا يَحزُنكَ قَولُهُم ۘ إِنَّ العِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَميعًا ۚ هُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ
Let not their words dishearten you. All power and honor belong to God; He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
