وَإِنَّ هـٰذِهِ أُمَّتُكُم أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَأَنا رَبُّكُم فَاتَّقونِ

This community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord, so fear Me.

فَتَقَطَّعوا أَمرَهُم بَينَهُم زُبُرًا ۖ كُلُّ حِزبٍ بِما لَدَيهِم فَرِحونَ

Yet they fragmented into denominations, each rejoicing in its doctrines.

فَذَرهُم في غَمرَتِهِم حَتّىٰ حينٍ

So leave them in their bewilderment until a time.

أَيَحسَبونَ أَنَّما نُمِدُّهُم بِهِ مِن مالٍ وَبَنينَ

Do they assume that by granting them wealth and children.

نُسارِعُ لَهُم فِي الخَيراتِ ۚ بَل لا يَشعُرونَ

We are racing to give them good things? They don’t perceive.

وَالَّذينَ هُم بِآياتِ رَبِّهِم يُؤمِنونَ

And those who believe in the signs of their Lord.

وَالَّذينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِم لا يُشرِكونَ

And those who don’t associate anything with their Lord.

وَالَّذينَ يُؤتونَ ما آتَوا وَقُلوبُهُم وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُم إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم راجِعونَ

And those who give what they give with hearts trembling, because they will return to their Lord.

أُولـٰئِكَ يُسارِعونَ فِي الخَيراتِ وَهُم لَها سابِقونَ

These are the ones who compete in goodness and are foremost in doing so.

وَلا نُكَلِّفُ نَفسًا إِلّا وُسعَها ۖ وَلَدَينا كِتابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالحَقِّ ۚ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ

We don’t burden a soul beyond its capacity. With Us is a record that speaks with truth, and they won’t be wronged.
