يَومَ يَغشاهُمُ العَذابُ مِن فَوقِهِم وَمِن تَحتِ أَرجُلِهِم وَيَقولُ ذوقوا ما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ
On the Day when the punishment will envelop them from above them and from below their feet, He will say, “Taste what you used to do!”
يا عِبادِيَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِنَّ أَرضي واسِعَةٌ فَإِيّايَ فَاعبُدونِ
O My servants who have believed, My earth is vast, so worship only Me.
كُلُّ نَفسٍ ذائِقَةُ المَوتِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَينا تُرجَعونَ
Every soul will taste death. Then, you will be returned to Us.
وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِنَ الجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها ۚ نِعمَ أَجرُ العامِلينَ
Those who believe and lead righteous lives, We will settle them in Paradise, in dwellings beneath which rivers flow, where they will stay forever. What an excellent reward for the workers.
الَّذينَ صَبَروا وَعَلىٰ رَبِّهِم يَتَوَكَّلونَ
Those who exercise patience and put their trust in their Lord.
وَكَأَيِّن مِن دابَّةٍ لا تَحمِلُ رِزقَهَا اللَّهُ يَرزُقُها وَإِيّاكُم ۚ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ
How many living creatures don’t carry their provisions? God provides for them and for you. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ لَيَقولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنّىٰ يُؤفَكونَ
If you were to ask them, “Who created the heavens and the earth? Who governs the sun and the moon?” They would surely answer, “God.” How then are they deluded?
اللَّهُ يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ وَيَقدِرُ لَهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمٌ
God extends the provision for whom He wills of His beings and restricts it. God is fully aware of all things.
وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَحيا بِهِ الأَرضَ مِن بَعدِ مَوتِها لَيَقولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَل أَكثَرُهُم لا يَعقِلونَ
If you were to ask them, “Who sends down rain from the sky, thereby reviving the lifeless earth?” They would surely answer, “God.” Then say, “Praise be to God!” Yet, most of them don’t apply their intellect.
وَما هـٰذِهِ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا إِلّا لَهوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ الدّارَ الآخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الحَيَوانُ ۚ لَو كانوا يَعلَمونَ
This worldly life is nothing more than diversion and entertainment. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter—that’s the life, if only they knew.
فَإِذا رَكِبوا فِي الفُلكِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ فَلَمّا نَجّاهُم إِلَى البَرِّ إِذا هُم يُشرِكونَ
When they board a vessel, they call upon God, devoting their prayer sincerely to Him. However, once He delivers them safely to land, they attribute partners to Him.
