وَيَزيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ اهتَدَوا هُدًى ۗ وَالباقِياتُ الصّالِحاتُ خَيرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوابًا وَخَيرٌ مَرَدًّا

God increases the guidance of those who are guided. The lasting acts of kindness are best with your Lord for reward, yielding the best return.

أَفَرَأَيتَ الَّذي كَفَرَ بِآياتِنا وَقالَ لَأوتَيَنَّ مالًا وَوَلَدًا

Did you consider him who denies Our revelations, and says, “I will be given wealth and children?”

أَطَّلَعَ الغَيبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحمـٰنِ عَهدًا

Did he look into the unseen or receive a guarantee from the Merciful?

كَلّا ۚ سَنَكتُبُ ما يَقولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ العَذابِ مَدًّا

Absolutely not! We will write what he says, and We will prolong his agony for him.

وَنَرِثُهُ ما يَقولُ وَيَأتينا فَردًا

And We will inherit from him what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.

كَلّا ۚ سَيَكفُرونَ بِعِبادَتِهِم وَيَكونونَ عَلَيهِم ضِدًّا

They will deny their worship of them and become opponents to them.

أَلَم تَرَ أَنّا أَرسَلنَا الشَّياطينَ عَلَى الكافِرينَ تَؤُزُّهُم أَزًّا

Don’t you see how We send the devils against the unbelievers, provoking them with incitement?

فَلا تَعجَل عَلَيهِم ۖ إِنَّما نَعُدُّ لَهُم عَدًّا

So, don’t rush against them; We are counting for them a countdown.

يَومَ نَحشُرُ المُتَّقينَ إِلَى الرَّحمـٰنِ وَفدًا

The Day when We gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation.

وَنَسوقُ المُجرِمينَ إِلىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِردًا

And usher the sinners to Hell, driven in dehydration.
