لِيَكفُروا بِما آتَيناهُم ۚ فَتَمَتَّعوا ۖ فَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ
Such ingratitude for what We’ve given them! Enjoy yourselves; soon, you will come to know.
وَيَجعَلونَ لِما لا يَعلَمونَ نَصيبًا مِمّا رَزَقناهُم ۗ تَاللَّهِ لَتُسأَلُنَّ عَمّا كُنتُم تَفتَرونَ
And they allocate a share of what We’ve provided them to what they don’t know. Certainly, by God, you will be questioned about your fabrications.
وَيَجعَلونَ لِلَّهِ البَناتِ سُبحانَهُ ۙ وَلَهُم ما يَشتَهونَ
And they attribute to God daughters, exalted is He; while for themselves, what they desire.
وَإِذا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِالأُنثىٰ ظَلَّ وَجهُهُ مُسوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظيمٌ
When one of them is given news of a female, his face darkens, he becomes choked with silent grief.
يَتَوارىٰ مِنَ القَومِ مِن سوءِ ما بُشِّرَ بِهِ ۚ أَيُمسِكُهُ عَلىٰ هونٍ أَم يَدُسُّهُ فِي التُّرابِ ۗ أَلا ساءَ ما يَحكُمونَ
He hides from people due to the bad news he received. Should he keep her despite the dishonor, or bury her in the dust? What a poor decision they make!
لِلَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ مَثَلُ السَّوءِ ۖ وَلِلَّهِ المَثَلُ الأَعلىٰ ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ
Those who don’t believe in the Hereafter set a terrible example, while God sets the highest standard. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
وَلَو يُؤاخِذُ اللَّهُ النّاسَ بِظُلمِهِم ما تَرَكَ عَلَيها مِن دابَّةٍ وَلـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُم إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذا جاءَ أَجَلُهُم لا يَستَأخِرونَ ساعَةً ۖ وَلا يَستَقدِمونَ
If God were to punish people for their wrongdoings, He wouldn’t leave a living creature on it. However, He defers them to an appointed term. When their time arrives, they can neither delay nor hasten it by an hour.
وَيَجعَلونَ لِلَّهِ ما يَكرَهونَ وَتَصِفُ أَلسِنَتُهُمُ الكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ الحُسنىٰ ۖ لا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ النّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُفرَطونَ
They attribute to God what they hate, and their tongues falsely claim that all good things are theirs. No doubt, the Fire is their destiny, and they will be left in it.
تَاللَّهِ لَقَد أَرسَلنا إِلىٰ أُمَمٍ مِن قَبلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيطانُ أَعمالَهُم فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ اليَومَ وَلَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ
By God, We sent messengers to communities before you, but Satan made their deeds fair-seeming to them. He is their ally today, and a severe punishment awaits them.
وَما أَنزَلنا عَلَيكَ الكِتابَ إِلّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي اختَلَفوا فيهِ ۙ وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةً لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ
We revealed the Scripture to you, so you may clarify for them what they dispute, and as guidance and mercy for believers.
وَاللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَحيا بِهِ الأَرضَ بَعدَ مَوتِها ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَومٍ يَسمَعونَ
God sends down water from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its demise. In this, there is a sign for those who listen.
