تِلكَ آياتُ الكِتابِ الحَكيمِ

These are the verses of the Book of Wisdom.

الَّذينَ يُقيمونَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكاةَ وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ هُم يوقِنونَ

Those who perform prayer, give purifying charity, and are certain of the Hereafter.

أُولـٰئِكَ عَلىٰ هُدًى مِن رَبِّهِم ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُفلِحونَ

These are guided by their Lord. These are the successful.

وَمِنَ النّاسِ مَن يَشتَري لَهوَ الحَديثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَها هُزُوًا ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ لَهُم عَذابٌ مُهينٌ

Some people purchase vain talk to mislead others from God’s path without knowledge, and they treat it with ridicule. For them, a humiliating punishment awaits.

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِ آياتُنا وَلّىٰ مُستَكبِرًا كَأَن لَم يَسمَعها كَأَنَّ في أُذُنَيهِ وَقرًا ۖ فَبَشِّرهُ بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ

When Our verses are recited to him, he turns away arrogantly, as if he didn’t hear them, as if his ears are blocked. So, inform him of a severe punishment.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ لَهُم جَنّاتُ النَّعيمِ

Those who believe and do righteous deeds—for them are Gardens of Delight.
