أَمَّن يَهديكُم في ظُلُماتِ البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ وَمَن يُرسِلُ الرِّياحَ بُشرًا بَينَ يَدَي رَحمَتِهِ ۗ أَإِلـٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ تَعالَى اللَّهُ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

Who guides you through the darkness on land and sea, and sends winds heralding His mercy? Is there a god along with God? God is far beyond what they associate.

أَمَّن يَبدَأُ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ وَمَن يَرزُقُكُم مِنَ السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ ۗ أَإِلـٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قُل هاتوا بُرهانَكُم إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

Who initiates the creation, repeats it, and provides for you from the sky and the earth? Is there a god along with God? Say, “Present your evidence, if you are truthful.”

قُل لا يَعلَمُ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ الغَيبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۚ وَما يَشعُرونَ أَيّانَ يُبعَثونَ

Say, “None in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen, except for God, and they don’t perceive when they will be resurrected.”

بَلِ ادّارَكَ عِلمُهُم فِي الآخِرَةِ ۚ بَل هُم في شَكٍّ مِنها ۖ بَل هُم مِنها عَمونَ

Their understanding of the Hereafter is obscure; they are skeptical about it, and they are blind to it.

وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا أَإِذا كُنّا تُرابًا وَآباؤُنا أَئِنّا لَمُخرَجونَ

Those who disbelieve say, “When we and our ancestors become dust, will we be resurrected?

قُل سيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَانظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ المُجرِمينَ

Say, “Roam the earth and see the fate that befell the wrongdoers.”

وَلا تَحزَن عَلَيهِم وَلا تَكُن في ضَيقٍ مِمّا يَمكُرونَ

Don’t grieve for them, nor be distressed by their schemes.

وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

They ask, “When will this promise come to pass, if you are truthful?”

قُل عَسىٰ أَن يَكونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعضُ الَّذي تَستَعجِلونَ

Reply, “It may be that what you wish to hasten is already near you.”

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذو فَضلٍ عَلَى النّاسِ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَشكُرونَ

Your Lord is generous towards people, yet most of them don’t express gratitude.
