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.

أَلا إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَمَن فِي الأَرضِ ۗ وَما يَتَّبِعُ الَّذينَ يَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ شُرَكاءَ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِن هُم إِلّا يَخرُصونَ

Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to God. Those who invoke others besides God aren’t truly following associates; they follow nothing but conjecture and what their own selves desire.

قالُوا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبحانَهُ ۖ هُوَ الغَنِيُّ ۖ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۚ إِن عِندَكُم مِن سُلطانٍ بِهـٰذا ۚ أَتَقولونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ

They say, “God has begotten a son.” Glorified is He; He is the Self-Sufficient. Everything in the heavens and on earth is His. Do you have any evidence for this, or are you attributing what you don’t know to God?

قُل إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَفتَرونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الكَذِبَ لا يُفلِحونَ

Say, “Those who fabricate lies about God won’t succeed.”

مَتاعٌ فِي الدُّنيا ثُمَّ إِلَينا مَرجِعُهُم ثُمَّ نُذيقُهُمُ العَذابَ الشَّديدَ بِما كانوا يَكفُرونَ

Some enjoyment in this life, but they will ultimately return to Us, and We will subject them to severe punishment for their disbelief.

وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ نوحٍ إِذ قالَ لِقَومِهِ يا قَومِ إِن كانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيكُم مَقامي وَتَذكيري بِآياتِ اللَّهِ فَعَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلتُ فَأَجمِعوا أَمرَكُم وَشُرَكاءَكُم ثُمَّ لا يَكُن أَمرُكُم عَلَيكُم غُمَّةً ثُمَّ اقضوا إِلَيَّ وَلا تُنظِرونِ

Tell them the story of Noah, who said to his people, “O my people, if my presence among you and my reminders of God’s messages are burdensome to you, I have placed my trust in God. So, gather your plan, with your associates, make your intentions clear, and don’t hesitate.”

فَإِن تَوَلَّيتُم فَما سَأَلتُكُم مِن أَجرٍ ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَأُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ مِنَ المُسلِمينَ

“If you turn away, I didn’t ask you for any wage; my reward is only from God, and I was commanded to be among those who submit.”
