يَعلَمُ ما بَينَ أَيديهِم وَما خَلفَهُم وَلا يُحيطونَ بِهِ عِلمًا

He knows their past and their future, and they can’t comprehend His knowledge.

وَعَنَتِ الوُجوهُ لِلحَيِّ القَيّومِ ۖ وَقَد خابَ مَن حَمَلَ ظُلمًا

All faces will humbly submit to the Ever-Living, the Sustainer. Whoever carries injustice will despair.

وَمَن يَعمَل مِنَ الصّالِحاتِ وَهُوَ مُؤمِنٌ فَلا يَخافُ ظُلمًا وَلا هَضمًا

However, those who performed righteous deeds and are believers won’t fear injustice or deprivation.

وَكَذٰلِكَ أَنزَلناهُ قُرآنًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفنا فيهِ مِنَ الوَعيدِ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ أَو يُحدِثُ لَهُم ذِكرًا

We revealed this Quran in Arabic, and We diversified the warnings in it, to foster righteousness or serve as a reminder for them.

فَتَعالَى اللَّهُ المَلِكُ الحَقُّ ۗ وَلا تَعجَل بِالقُرآنِ مِن قَبلِ أَن يُقضىٰ إِلَيكَ وَحيُهُ ۖ وَقُل رَبِّ زِدني عِلمًا

Exalted is God, the True King. Don’t hasten with the Quran before its revelation is completed to you, and say, “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”

وَإِذ قُلنا لِلمَلائِكَةِ اسجُدوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدوا إِلّا إِبليسَ أَبىٰ

When We commanded the angels, “Prostrate yourselves before Adam,” they all complied, except for Iblis, who refused.

فَقُلنا يا آدَمُ إِنَّ هـٰذا عَدُوٌّ لَكَ وَلِزَوجِكَ فَلا يُخرِجَنَّكُما مِنَ الجَنَّةِ فَتَشقىٰ

We said, “O Adam, this is an enemy to you and your wife. Don’t let him drive you out of Paradise, or you will be miserable.

إِنَّ لَكَ أَلّا تَجوعَ فيها وَلا تَعرىٰ

In it, you will never experience hunger or nakedness.

وَأَنَّكَ لا تَظمَأُ فيها وَلا تَضحىٰ

And you won’t be thirsty or suffer from the sun’s heat.”

فَوَسوَسَ إِلَيهِ الشَّيطانُ قالَ يا آدَمُ هَل أَدُلُّكَ عَلىٰ شَجَرَةِ الخُلدِ وَمُلكٍ لا يَبلىٰ

Then Satan whispered to him, saying, “O Adam, Shall I lead you to the tree of eternity and a kingdom that never decays?”
