يا وَيلَتىٰ لَيتَني لَم أَتَّخِذ فُلانًا خَليلًا

Alas, for me! I wish I had never taken so-and-so as a friend.

لَقَد أَضَلَّني عَنِ الذِّكرِ بَعدَ إِذ جاءَني ۗ وَكانَ الشَّيطانُ لِلإِنسانِ خَذولًا

He led me away from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan has always been a betrayer of man.”

وَقالَ الرَّسولُ يا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَومِي اتَّخَذوا هـٰذَا القُرآنَ مَهجورًا

The Messenger will say, “O my Lord, my people have treated this Quran as something to be disregarded.”

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلنا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِنَ المُجرِمينَ ۗ وَكَفىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هادِيًا وَنَصيرًا

For every prophet, We assigned adversaries from among the guilty. Yet, your Lord is sufficient as a Guide and Helper.

وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَولا نُزِّلَ عَلَيهِ القُرآنُ جُملَةً واحِدَةً ۚ كَذٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلناهُ تَرتيلًا

The disbelievers question, “Why wasn’t the Quran revealed to him all at once?” It was thus, to strengthen your heart, that We revealed it in stages.

الَّذينَ يُحشَرونَ عَلىٰ وُجوهِهِم إِلىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُولـٰئِكَ شَرٌّ مَكانًا وَأَضَلُّ سَبيلًا

Those who are dragged face down to Hell, are in the worst position, and are most astray from the path.

وَلَقَد آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ وَجَعَلنا مَعَهُ أَخاهُ هارونَ وَزيرًا

We gave Moses the Scripture and appointed his brother Aaron as his assistant.

فَقُلنَا اذهَبا إِلَى القَومِ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا فَدَمَّرناهُم تَدميرًا

We instructed, “Go to the people who denied Our signs.” Then, We destroyed them utterly.

وَقَومَ نوحٍ لَمّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغرَقناهُم وَجَعَلناهُم لِلنّاسِ آيَةً ۖ وَأَعتَدنا لِلظّالِمينَ عَذابًا أَليمًا

And the people of Noah—when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and made them a sign for all people. For the wrongdoers, We prepared a severe punishment.

وَعادًا وَثَمودَ وَأَصحابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرونًا بَينَ ذٰلِكَ كَثيرًا

And Aad, Thamud, the inhabitants of Rass, and many generations in between.
