آلآنَ وَقَد عَصَيتَ قَبلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ المُفسِدينَ

Now? And before you were disobeying and were among the corrupters?

فَاليَومَ نُنَجّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكونَ لِمَن خَلفَكَ آيَةً ۚ وَإِنَّ كَثيرًا مِنَ النّاسِ عَن آياتِنا لَغافِلونَ

Today, We will preserve your body, as a sign for those who come after you. Yet most people are oblivious to Our signs.

وَلَقَد بَوَّأنا بَني إِسرائيلَ مُبَوَّأَ صِدقٍ وَرَزَقناهُم مِنَ الطَّيِّباتِ فَمَا اختَلَفوا حَتّىٰ جاءَهُمُ العِلمُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقضي بَينَهُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ فيما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

We granted the Children of Israel a privileged status and gave them good things. However, they didn’t differ until after knowledge had come to them. Your Lord will resolve their disputes on Resurrection Day.

فَإِن كُنتَ في شَكٍّ مِمّا أَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ فَاسأَلِ الَّذينَ يَقرَءونَ الكِتابَ مِن قَبلِكَ ۚ لَقَد جاءَكَ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّكَ فَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُمتَرينَ

If you doubt what We’ve revealed to you, ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, so don’t be among the doubters.

وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِ اللَّهِ فَتَكونَ مِنَ الخاسِرينَ

And don’t be among those who deny God’s messages, lest you be among the losers.

وَلَو جاءَتهُم كُلُّ آيَةٍ حَتّىٰ يَرَوُا العَذابَ الأَليمَ

Even if every sign were to come to them—until they see the severe punishment.

فَلَولا كانَت قَريَةٌ آمَنَت فَنَفَعَها إيمانُها إِلّا قَومَ يونُسَ لَمّا آمَنوا كَشَفنا عَنهُم عَذابَ الخِزيِ فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَمَتَّعناهُم إِلىٰ حينٍ

No community has ever believed and benefited from their faith except the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the torment of disgrace in this worldly life, and We permitted them to enjoy for a while.

وَلَو شاءَ رَبُّكَ لَآمَنَ مَن فِي الأَرضِ كُلُّهُم جَميعًا ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكرِهُ النّاسَ حَتّىٰ يَكونوا مُؤمِنينَ

If your Lord had willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Would you then compel people to become believers?

وَما كانَ لِنَفسٍ أَن تُؤمِنَ إِلّا بِإِذنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَيَجعَلُ الرِّجسَ عَلَى الَّذينَ لا يَعقِلونَ

No soul can believe except by the permission of God. And He places defilement upon those who don’t reason.

قُلِ انظُروا ماذا فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ وَما تُغنِي الآياتُ وَالنُّذُرُ عَن قَومٍ لا يُؤمِنونَ

Say, “Observe what’s in the heavens and the earth.” But neither signs nor warnings will avail those who don’t believe.
