وَلَو شِئنا لَبَعَثنا في كُلِّ قَريَةٍ نَذيرًا
Had We willed, We could’ve sent a warner to every community.
فَلا تُطِعِ الكافِرينَ وَجاهِدهُم بِهِ جِهادًا كَبيرًا
So don’t obey the unbelievers, but strive against them vigorously.
وَهُوَ الَّذي مَرَجَ البَحرَينِ هـٰذا عَذبٌ فُراتٌ وَهـٰذا مِلحٌ أُجاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَينَهُما بَرزَخًا وَحِجرًا مَحجورًا
He is the one who has released two bodies of water, one sweet and fresh, the other salty and bitter. He set a barrier and a prohibitive partition between them.
وَهُوَ الَّذي خَلَقَ مِنَ الماءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَبًا وَصِهرًا ۗ وَكانَ رَبُّكَ قَديرًا
It is He who created man from water, then made him relation by lineage and marriage. Your Lord is always Capable.
وَيَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَنفَعُهُم وَلا يَضُرُّهُم ۗ وَكانَ الكافِرُ عَلىٰ رَبِّهِ ظَهيرًا
Yet, they worship entities other than God, which can neither benefit nor harm them. The disbeliever is in open defiance of his Lord.
وَما أَرسَلناكَ إِلّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذيرًا
We sent you only to deliver good news and to issue warnings.
قُل ما أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ مِن أَجرٍ إِلّا مَن شاءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبيلًا
Say, “I ask of you no recompense for this, except for whoever chooses to follow a path to his Lord.”
وَتَوَكَّل عَلَى الحَيِّ الَّذي لا يَموتُ وَسَبِّح بِحَمدِهِ ۚ وَكَفىٰ بِهِ بِذُنوبِ عِبادِهِ خَبيرًا
Put your trust in the Ever-Living One who never dies, and celebrate His praises. He is sufficient as the Well-Aware of the sins of his servants.
الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَما بَينَهُما في سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ ۚ الرَّحمـٰنُ فَاسأَل بِهِ خَبيرًا
He who created the heavens, the earth, and everything between them in six periods, then established Himself above the Throne—the Most Gracious. So ask about Him a well informed.
وَإِذا قيلَ لَهُمُ اسجُدوا لِلرَّحمـٰنِ قالوا وَمَا الرَّحمـٰنُ أَنَسجُدُ لِما تَأمُرُنا وَزادَهُم نُفورًا ۩
When told to prostrate before the Merciful, they ask, “Who is this Merciful? Should we prostrate before whatever you command us?” And it intensifies their defiance.
تَبارَكَ الَّذي جَعَلَ فِي السَّماءِ بُروجًا وَجَعَلَ فيها سِراجًا وَقَمَرًا مُنيرًا
Blessed is He who placed constellations in the heavens, and set therein a radiant lamp and a luminous moon.
