إِلَيهِ مَرجِعُكُم جَميعًا ۖ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقًّا ۚ إِنَّهُ يَبدَأُ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ لِيَجزِيَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ بِالقِسطِ ۚ وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا لَهُم شَرابٌ مِن حَميمٍ وَعَذابٌ أَليمٌ بِما كانوا يَكفُرونَ

To Him is your return, all of you. The promise of God is true. He originates creation, then He repeats it, to reward those who believe and perform righteous deeds with justice. But for those who disbelieve, for them is a drink of boiling water and painful punishment due to their denial.

هُوَ الَّذي جَعَلَ الشَّمسَ ضِياءً وَالقَمَرَ نورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنازِلَ لِتَعلَموا عَدَدَ السِّنينَ وَالحِسابَ ۚ ما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ ذٰلِكَ إِلّا بِالحَقِّ ۚ يُفَصِّلُ الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ

It is He who made the sun shining and the moon luminous, and determined its phases, so you may calculate the years and the passage of time. God didn’t create this except with truth. He explains the signs in detail for people who know.

إِنَّ فِي اختِلافِ اللَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ وَما خَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يَتَّقونَ

In the alternation of night and day, and in what God created in the heavens and the earth, are signs for people who are mindful.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنا وَرَضوا بِالحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَاطمَأَنّوا بِها وَالَّذينَ هُم عَن آياتِنا غافِلونَ

Those who don’t anticipate meeting Us and are content with life in this world, feel safe in it, and are ignorant of Our signs.

أُولـٰئِكَ مَأواهُمُ النّارُ بِما كانوا يَكسِبونَ

For them, their refuge will be the Fire, because of what they used to earn.

دَعواهُم فيها سُبحانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُم فيها سَلامٌ ۚ وَآخِرُ دَعواهُم أَنِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

Their prayer therein will be, “Glorified are You, O God,” and their greeting therein will be, “Peace.” And the conclusion of their prayer will be, “Praise be to God, the Lord of the universes.”

وَلَو يُعَجِّلُ اللَّهُ لِلنّاسِ الشَّرَّ استِعجالَهُم بِالخَيرِ لَقُضِيَ إِلَيهِم أَجَلُهُم ۖ فَنَذَرُ الَّذينَ لا يَرجونَ لِقاءَنا في طُغيانِهِم يَعمَهونَ

If God were to hasten evil for people, as they hasten good, their time would have been over. But We leave those who don’t look forward to meeting Us in their transgressions, blundering.

وَإِذا مَسَّ الإِنسانَ الضُّرُّ دَعانا لِجَنبِهِ أَو قاعِدًا أَو قائِمًا فَلَمّا كَشَفنا عَنهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَن لَم يَدعُنا إِلىٰ ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلمُسرِفينَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

When adversity touches a person, he prays to Us, whether lying on his side, sitting, or standing. But when We remove his adversity, he proceeds as if he had not reached out to Us in a predicament. Thus, the deeds of the transgressors are made to appear pleasing to them.

وَلَقَد أَهلَكنَا القُرونَ مِن قَبلِكُم لَمّا ظَلَموا ۙ وَجاءَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ وَما كانوا لِيُؤمِنوا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي القَومَ المُجرِمينَ

We destroyed generations before you when they committed injustices. Their messengers had come to them with clear proofs, but were not going to believe. Thus do We recompense the guilty people.

ثُمَّ جَعَلناكُم خَلائِفَ فِي الأَرضِ مِن بَعدِهِم لِنَنظُرَ كَيفَ تَعمَلونَ

Then We made you successors in the earth after them—to see how you will behave.
