وَيَقولُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَولا أُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ آيَةٌ مِن رَبِّهِ ۗ إِنَّما أَنتَ مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَومٍ هادٍ
Those who disbelieve ask, “Why has no miracle been sent down to him from his Lord?” You are but a warner; and for every people, there is a guide.
اللَّهُ يَعلَمُ ما تَحمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثىٰ وَما تَغيضُ الأَرحامُ وَما تَزدادُ ۖ وَكُلُّ شَيءٍ عِندَهُ بِمِقدارٍ
God knows what every female carries, and what the wombs diminish or increase. Everything with Him is of due proportion.
عالِمُ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ الكَبيرُ المُتَعالِ
He is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Most High.
سَواءٌ مِنكُم مَن أَسَرَّ القَولَ وَمَن جَهَرَ بِهِ وَمَن هُوَ مُستَخفٍ بِاللَّيلِ وَسارِبٌ بِالنَّهارِ
It’s the same whether one of you conceals his speech or declares it openly, and whether one hides in the night or goes out freely in the day.
لَهُ مُعَقِّباتٌ مِن بَينِ يَدَيهِ وَمِن خَلفِهِ يَحفَظونَهُ مِن أَمرِ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُغَيِّرُ ما بِقَومٍ حَتّىٰ يُغَيِّروا ما بِأَنفُسِهِم ۗ وَإِذا أَرادَ اللَّهُ بِقَومٍ سوءًا فَلا مَرَدَّ لَهُ ۚ وَما لَهُم مِن دونِهِ مِن والٍ
Guardians are stationed before and behind him, safeguarding him by God’s command. God won’t change people’s condition until they change what’s within themselves. If God intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it, and they have no defender or supporter besides Him.
هُوَ الَّذي يُريكُمُ البَرقَ خَوفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنشِئُ السَّحابَ الثِّقالَ
It is He who shows you lightning, causing fear and hope, and produces the heavy clouds.
وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعدُ بِحَمدِهِ وَالمَلائِكَةُ مِن خيفَتِهِ وَيُرسِلُ الصَّواعِقَ فَيُصيبُ بِها مَن يَشاءُ وَهُم يُجادِلونَ فِي اللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَديدُ المِحالِ
The thunder glorifies His praise, as do the angels, out of awe for Him. He releases thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills. Yet they argue about God, despite Him being tremendous in might and authority.
لَهُ دَعوَةُ الحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذينَ يَدعونَ مِن دونِهِ لا يَستَجيبونَ لَهُم بِشَيءٍ إِلّا كَباسِطِ كَفَّيهِ إِلَى الماءِ لِيَبلُغَ فاهُ وَما هُوَ بِبالِغِهِ ۚ وَما دُعاءُ الكافِرينَ إِلّا في ضَلالٍ
To Him is the call of truth. Those they pray to besides Him can’t respond to them with a thing, except like one who reaches his hand out to the water, only for it never to reach his mouth. The prayers of the unbelievers are but in vain.
وَلِلَّهِ يَسجُدُ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ طَوعًا وَكَرهًا وَظِلالُهُم بِالغُدُوِّ وَالآصالِ ۩
To God do all those in the heavens and the earth bow down, willingly or unwillingly, and their shadows in the mornings and the afternoons.
قُل مَن رَبُّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ قُلِ اللَّهُ ۚ قُل أَفَاتَّخَذتُم مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ لا يَملِكونَ لِأَنفُسِهِم نَفعًا وَلا ضَرًّا ۚ قُل هَل يَستَوِي الأَعمىٰ وَالبَصيرُ أَم هَل تَستَوِي الظُّلُماتُ وَالنّورُ ۗ أَم جَعَلوا لِلَّهِ شُرَكاءَ خَلَقوا كَخَلقِهِ فَتَشابَهَ الخَلقُ عَلَيهِم ۚ قُلِ اللَّهُ خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيءٍ وَهُوَ الواحِدُ القَهّارُ
Ask, “Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?” Answer, “God.” Then ask, “Have you taken other than Him allies, who can neither benefit nor harm themselves?” Say, “Are the blind and the sighted equal? Or are darkness and light alike? Or have they ascribed partners to God who supposedly created creations similar to His, so that creation appeared similar to them?” Say, “God is the Creator of everything, He is the One, the Overpowering.”
أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَسالَت أَودِيَةٌ بِقَدَرِها فَاحتَمَلَ السَّيلُ زَبَدًا رابِيًا ۚ وَمِمّا يوقِدونَ عَلَيهِ فِي النّارِ ابتِغاءَ حِليَةٍ أَو مَتاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِثلُهُ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يَضرِبُ اللَّهُ الحَقَّ وَالباطِلَ ۚ فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذهَبُ جُفاءً ۖ وَأَمّا ما يَنفَعُ النّاسَ فَيَمكُثُ فِي الأَرضِ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يَضرِبُ اللَّهُ الأَمثالَ
He sends down water from the sky, and valleys flow according to their capacity. The torrent carries overflowing foam, akin to what emerges from metals when melted for crafting jewelry and tools. Thus, God illustrates truth and falsehood. The foam dissipates, but what benefits humanity remains on earth. Thus, God presents parables.
