لِيَكفُروا بِما آتَيناهُم ۚ فَتَمَتَّعوا فَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ
In this way, they are ungrateful for what We’ve given them. Enjoy the fleeting pleasure; you will find out.
أَم أَنزَلنا عَلَيهِم سُلطانًا فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِما كانوا بِهِ يُشرِكونَ
Did We grant them any authority that justifies their association of partners with Him?
وَإِذا أَذَقنَا النّاسَ رَحمَةً فَرِحوا بِها ۖ وَإِن تُصِبهُم سَيِّئَةٌ بِما قَدَّمَت أَيديهِم إِذا هُم يَقنَطونَ
When We let people taste mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity strikes them as a result of their actions, they fall into despair.
أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبسُطُ الرِّزقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ وَيَقدِرُ ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ
Don’t they realize that God expands the provision for whom He wills, and He restricts it? Therein lie signs for a people who believe.
فَآتِ ذَا القُربىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالمِسكينَ وَابنَ السَّبيلِ ۚ ذٰلِكَ خَيرٌ لِلَّذينَ يُريدونَ وَجهَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ
So give the near kin his due right, and also the needy and the displaced. This is best for those who seek God’s favor; these are the ones who will prosper.
وَما آتَيتُم مِن رِبًا لِيَربُوَ في أَموالِ النّاسِ فَلا يَربو عِندَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَما آتَيتُم مِن زَكاةٍ تُريدونَ وَجهَ اللَّهِ فَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُضعِفونَ
The interest you charge to increase people’s wealth doesn’t grow with God. But the charity you give, seeking God’s presence, these are the ones that will multiply.
اللَّهُ الَّذي خَلَقَكُم ثُمَّ رَزَقَكُم ثُمَّ يُميتُكُم ثُمَّ يُحييكُم ۖ هَل مِن شُرَكائِكُم مَن يَفعَلُ مِن ذٰلِكُم مِن شَيءٍ ۚ سُبحانَهُ وَتَعالىٰ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ
God is the One who created you, provides for you, causes you to die, and then revives you. Can any of your ’partners’ do any of that? Glorified is He, and exalted above what they associate with Him.
ظَهَرَ الفَسادُ فِي البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ بِما كَسَبَت أَيدِي النّاسِ لِيُذيقَهُم بَعضَ الَّذي عَمِلوا لَعَلَّهُم يَرجِعونَ
Corruption has appeared on land and sea, because of what people’s hands have done, causing them to experience some of the effects of their deeds, so they may return.
قُل سيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَانظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلُ ۚ كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُشرِكينَ
Say, “Roam the earth, and see the outcome of those who came before. Most of them were polytheists.”
فَأَقِم وَجهَكَ لِلدّينِ القَيِّمِ مِن قَبلِ أَن يَأتِيَ يَومٌ لا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۖ يَومَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعونَ
Dedicate yourself to the authentic, ever-true religion, before a Day comes from God that can’t be averted. On that Day, they will be divided.
مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيهِ كُفرُهُ ۖ وَمَن عَمِلَ صالِحًا فَلِأَنفُسِهِم يَمهَدونَ
The disbelief of the unbelievers only serves to burden them; meanwhile, those who act righteously are preparing for their own selves.
