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.
لِيَجزِيَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ مِن فَضلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الكافِرينَ
He rewards those who believe and do good works from His bounty. He doesn’t love the unbelievers.
وَمِن آياتِهِ أَن يُرسِلَ الرِّياحَ مُبَشِّراتٍ وَلِيُذيقَكُم مِن رَحمَتِهِ وَلِتَجرِيَ الفُلكُ بِأَمرِهِ وَلِتَبتَغوا مِن فَضلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ
Among His signs are the winds, heralds of good news, enabling you to experience His mercy. Ships sail by His command, for you to seek from His bounty, so you may give thanks.
وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا مِن قَبلِكَ رُسُلًا إِلىٰ قَومِهِم فَجاءوهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ فَانتَقَمنا مِنَ الَّذينَ أَجرَموا ۖ وَكانَ حَقًّا عَلَينا نَصرُ المُؤمِنينَ
We sent before you messengers to their own peoples and they came to them with clear proofs. Then, We exacted retribution from those who sinned. It is incumbent upon Us to help the believers.
اللَّهُ الَّذي يُرسِلُ الرِّياحَ فَتُثيرُ سَحابًا فَيَبسُطُهُ فِي السَّماءِ كَيفَ يَشاءُ وَيَجعَلُهُ كِسَفًا فَتَرَى الوَدقَ يَخرُجُ مِن خِلالِهِ ۖ فَإِذا أَصابَ بِهِ مَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ إِذا هُم يَستَبشِرونَ
God is the One who releases the winds, stirring up clouds. He spreads them across the sky as He wills, and He breaks them up. You see raindrops issuing from within them. Then, when He makes it fall upon whom He will of His beings, behold, they rejoice.
وَإِن كانوا مِن قَبلِ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيهِم مِن قَبلِهِ لَمُبلِسينَ
Though before it was sent down upon them—just before that—they were in despair.
فَانظُر إِلىٰ آثارِ رَحمَتِ اللَّهِ كَيفَ يُحيِي الأَرضَ بَعدَ مَوتِها ۚ إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمُحيِي المَوتىٰ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ
Look at the traces of God’s mercy, how He revives the earth after its death. He is the One who will revive the dead, and He has power over all things.
وَلَئِن أَرسَلنا ريحًا فَرَأَوهُ مُصفَرًّا لَظَلّوا مِن بَعدِهِ يَكفُرونَ
But if We send a wind, and they see it turning things yellow, they would, after that, persist in their disbelief.
فَإِنَّكَ لا تُسمِعُ المَوتىٰ وَلا تُسمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعاءَ إِذا وَلَّوا مُدبِرينَ
You can’t make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they’ve turned their backs and retreated.
وَما أَنتَ بِهادِ العُميِ عَن ضَلالَتِهِم ۖ إِن تُسمِعُ إِلّا مَن يُؤمِنُ بِآياتِنا فَهُم مُسلِمونَ
And you can’t guide the blind out of their misguidance. You can make hear only those who believe in Our messages and have submitted.
