وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِلَّذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبِعوا سَبيلَنا وَلنَحمِل خَطاياكُم وَما هُم بِحامِلينَ مِن خَطاياهُم مِن شَيءٍ ۖ إِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ
Those who disbelieve say to the believers, “Follow our path, and we will carry your sins.” Yet they can’t carry any of their sins. They are liars.
وَلَيَحمِلُنَّ أَثقالَهُم وَأَثقالًا مَعَ أَثقالِهِم ۖ وَلَيُسأَلُنَّ يَومَ القِيامَةِ عَمّا كانوا يَفتَرونَ
They will carry their own burdens, and other burdens along with their own. And on Resurrection Day, they will be questioned about their false assertions.
وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا نوحًا إِلىٰ قَومِهِ فَلَبِثَ فيهِم أَلفَ سَنَةٍ إِلّا خَمسينَ عامًا فَأَخَذَهُمُ الطّوفانُ وَهُم ظالِمونَ
We sent Noah to his people, and he dwelt among them for a millennium, less fifty years. Then the flood overtook them while they were wrongdoers.
فَأَنجَيناهُ وَأَصحابَ السَّفينَةِ وَجَعَلناها آيَةً لِلعالَمينَ
But We rescued him and those with him in the Ark, and We made it a symbol for all people.
وَإِبراهيمَ إِذ قالَ لِقَومِهِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقوهُ ۖ ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم إِن كُنتُم تَعلَمونَ
Consider Abraham, who said to his people, “Worship God and revere Him; this is better for you, if only you understood.
إِنَّما تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ أَوثانًا وَتَخلُقونَ إِفكًا ۚ إِنَّ الَّذينَ تَعبُدونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ لا يَملِكونَ لَكُم رِزقًا فَابتَغوا عِندَ اللَّهِ الرِّزقَ وَاعبُدوهُ وَاشكُروا لَهُ ۖ إِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ
You worship idols besides God and invent lies. The idols you worship apart from God don’t possess provision for you. Therefore, seek sustenance from God, worship Him, and give thanks to Him. To Him, you will be returned.”
وَإِن تُكَذِّبوا فَقَد كَذَّبَ أُمَمٌ مِن قَبلِكُم ۖ وَما عَلَى الرَّسولِ إِلَّا البَلاغُ المُبينُ
If you deny the truth, nations before you have also denied. The Messenger’s only duty is to deliver the message clearly.
أَوَلَم يَرَوا كَيفَ يُبدِئُ اللَّهُ الخَلقَ ثُمَّ يُعيدُهُ ۚ إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسيرٌ
Didn’t they see how God originates creation and then repeats it? This is easy for God.
قُل سيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَانظُروا كَيفَ بَدَأَ الخَلقَ ۚ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ يُنشِئُ النَّشأَةَ الآخِرَةَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ
Say, “Travel through the earth and observe how He initiated creation.” Then, God will produce the next existence. God has power over everything.
يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشاءُ وَيَرحَمُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَإِلَيهِ تُقلَبونَ
He punishes whom He wills, and He shows mercy to whom He wills. And to Him, you will be restored.
وَما أَنتُم بِمُعجِزينَ فِي الأَرضِ وَلا فِي السَّماءِ ۖ وَما لَكُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ
You can’t escape from Him on Earth or in the heavens, and you have neither protector nor helper besides God.
