إِنَّ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ لا يَهديهِمُ اللَّهُ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Those who don’t believe in God’s revelations—God won’t guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.

إِنَّما يَفتَرِي الكَذِبَ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الكاذِبونَ

Those who deny God’s revelations are the ones who fabricate falsehoods and are untruthful.

مَن كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ مِن بَعدِ إيمانِهِ إِلّا مَن أُكرِهَ وَقَلبُهُ مُطمَئِنٌّ بِالإيمانِ وَلـٰكِن مَن شَرَحَ بِالكُفرِ صَدرًا فَعَلَيهِم غَضَبٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ عَظيمٌ

Anyone who rejects God after having faith—except for one who is coerced while his heart remains firm in faith—but anyone who opens their heart to disbelief, upon them descends God’s wrath, and a grave punishment awaits them.

ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ استَحَبُّوا الحَياةَ الدُّنيا عَلَى الآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الكافِرينَ

That is because they favor the worldly life over the Hereafter. And God doesn’t guide the disbelieving people.

أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ قُلوبِهِم وَسَمعِهِم وَأَبصارِهِم ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الغافِلونَ

They are the ones God sealed their hearts, their hearing, and their sight. They are the ones who are heedless.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذينَ هاجَروا مِن بَعدِ ما فُتِنوا ثُمَّ جاهَدوا وَصَبَروا إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِن بَعدِها لَغَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

However, to those who emigrated after being persecuted, and who strived and showed patience, your Lord, in return, is forgiving and merciful.

يَومَ تَأتي كُلُّ نَفسٍ تُجادِلُ عَن نَفسِها وَتُوَفّىٰ كُلُّ نَفسٍ ما عَمِلَت وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ

On that Day, every soul will come pleading for itself, and every soul will be fully compensated for what it has done, and they won’t be wronged.

وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا قَريَةً كانَت آمِنَةً مُطمَئِنَّةً يَأتيها رِزقُها رَغَدًا مِن كُلِّ مَكانٍ فَكَفَرَت بِأَنعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِباسَ الجوعِ وَالخَوفِ بِما كانوا يَصنَعونَ

God presents an example of a secure and peaceful city, its provisions arriving abundantly from every direction. But it showed ingratitude for God’s blessings, so God made it taste the cloak of hunger and fear, as a consequence of their deeds.

وَلَقَد جاءَهُم رَسولٌ مِنهُم فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ العَذابُ وَهُم ظالِمونَ

A messenger from themselves had come to them, but they denied him. So, the punishment seized them while they were wrongdoers.

فَكُلوا مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلالًا طَيِّبًا وَاشكُروا نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُم إِيّاهُ تَعبُدونَ

So, eat from what God provided for you, lawful and good, and be grateful for God’s favor, if you truly worship Him.
