Ar-Ra'd 13:30

Ar-Ra'd - The Thunder

الرعد
Verse 25

وَالَّذينَ يَنقُضونَ عَهدَ اللَّهِ مِن بَعدِ ميثاقِهِ وَيَقطَعونَ ما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يوصَلَ وَيُفسِدونَ فِي الأَرضِ ۙ أُولـٰئِكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعنَةُ وَلَهُم سوءُ الدّارِ

And those who break the covenant of God after its ratification, sever what God has commanded to be joined, and spread corruption on earth, upon them is the curse, and they will have a wretched home.

Verse 26

اللَّهُ يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيَقدِرُ ۚ وَفَرِحوا بِالحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَمَا الحَياةُ الدُّنيا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلّا مَتاعٌ

God expands the provision for whom He wills and measures it. They rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life, compared to the Hereafter, is but temporary enjoyment.

Verse 27

وَيَقولُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَولا أُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ آيَةٌ مِن رَبِّهِ ۗ قُل إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشاءُ وَيَهدي إِلَيهِ مَن أَنابَ

The disbelievers argue, “Why has a sign not been sent down upon him from his Lord?” Answer, “God leads astray whom He wills, and He guides to Himself those who turn back.”

Verse 28

الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَتَطمَئِنُّ قُلوبُهُم بِذِكرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلا بِذِكرِ اللَّهِ تَطمَئِنُّ القُلوبُ

Those who believe and whose hearts find tranquility in the remembrance of God—for indeed, it is through the remembrance of God that hearts find peace.

Verse 29

الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ طوبىٰ لَهُم وَحُسنُ مَآبٍ

Those who believe and do righteous deeds—blessedness is theirs and a beautiful return.

كَذٰلِكَ أَرسَلناكَ في أُمَّةٍ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِها أُمَمٌ لِتَتلُوَ عَلَيهِمُ الَّذي أَوحَينا إِلَيكَ وَهُم يَكفُرونَ بِالرَّحمـٰنِ ۚ قُل هُوَ رَبّي لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ عَلَيهِ تَوَكَّلتُ وَإِلَيهِ مَتابِ

We sent you amongst a nation, as We sent to nations before you, to convey to them what We revealed to you. Yet they deny the Most Merciful. Say, “He is my Lord; there is no god but Him. On Him I have relied, and to Him is my return.”

Verse 31

وَلَو أَنَّ قُرآنًا سُيِّرَت بِهِ الجِبالُ أَو قُطِّعَت بِهِ الأَرضُ أَو كُلِّمَ بِهِ المَوتىٰ ۗ بَل لِلَّهِ الأَمرُ جَميعًا ۗ أَفَلَم يَيأَسِ الَّذينَ آمَنوا أَن لَو يَشاءُ اللَّهُ لَهَدَى النّاسَ جَميعًا ۗ وَلا يَزالُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا تُصيبُهُم بِما صَنَعوا قارِعَةٌ أَو تَحُلُّ قَريبًا مِن دارِهِم حَتّىٰ يَأتِيَ وَعدُ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُخلِفُ الميعادَ

And even if there was a Quran that could move mountains, split the earth, or make the dead speak, the ultimate authority would still belong to God. Didn’t those who believed give up, realizing that if God so willed, He could guide all of humanity? The unbelievers will continue to suffer calamities due to what they did, or they fall near their homes, until God’s promise is fulfilled. God does not fail in His promise.

Verse 32

وَلَقَدِ استُهزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِن قَبلِكَ فَأَملَيتُ لِلَّذينَ كَفَروا ثُمَّ أَخَذتُهُم ۖ فَكَيفَ كانَ عِقابِ

Messengers before you were also ridiculed, but I allowed the unbelievers to carry on, only to seize them—how severe was My retribution!

Verse 33

أَفَمَن هُوَ قائِمٌ عَلىٰ كُلِّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت ۗ وَجَعَلوا لِلَّهِ شُرَكاءَ قُل سَمّوهُم ۚ أَم تُنَبِّئونَهُ بِما لا يَعلَمُ فِي الأَرضِ أَم بِظاهِرٍ مِنَ القَولِ ۗ بَل زُيِّنَ لِلَّذينَ كَفَروا مَكرُهُم وَصُدّوا عَنِ السَّبيلِ ۗ وَمَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِن هادٍ

Who is He, the One observing over every soul and its actions? And yet they attribute partners to God. Say, “Name them! Or are you informing Him of something He doesn’t know on Earth? Or is it mere outward speech?” Their plots seem appealing to the unbelievers, and they are blocked from the path. Whomever God leads astray, there is no guide for him.

Verse 34

لَهُم عَذابٌ فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا ۖ وَلَعَذابُ الآخِرَةِ أَشَقُّ ۖ وَما لَهُم مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن واقٍ

They will have suffering in this worldly life, and the suffering of the hereafter is harsher, and they will have no protector from God.

Verse 35

مَثَلُ الجَنَّةِ الَّتي وُعِدَ المُتَّقونَ ۖ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ ۖ أُكُلُها دائِمٌ وَظِلُّها ۚ تِلكَ عُقبَى الَّذينَ اتَّقَوا ۖ وَعُقبَى الكافِرينَ النّارُ

The example of Paradise promised to the righteous is where rivers flow beneath. Its produce and shade are everlasting. Such is the end result for the righteous, while the end result for unbelievers is the Fire.
