وَلَا الظُّلُماتُ وَلَا النّورُ

Nor are darkness and light.

وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الحَرورُ

Nor are shadows and intense heat.

وَما يَستَوِي الأَحياءُ وَلَا الأَمواتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسمِعُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَما أَنتَ بِمُسمِعٍ مَن فِي القُبورِ

And not equal are the living and the dead. God makes whom He wills hear, and you can’t make those in the graves hear.

إِن أَنتَ إِلّا نَذيرٌ

You are only a warner.

إِنّا أَرسَلناكَ بِالحَقِّ بَشيرًا وَنَذيرًا ۚ وَإِن مِن أُمَّةٍ إِلّا خَلا فيها نَذيرٌ

We sent you with the truth, as a bringer of good news and a warner. Every community has had a warner pass through it.

ثُمَّ أَخَذتُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۖ فَكَيفَ كانَ نَكيرِ

Then, I seized those who disbelieved. So, how was my reproach?

أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخرَجنا بِهِ ثَمَراتٍ مُختَلِفًا أَلوانُها ۚ وَمِنَ الجِبالِ جُدَدٌ بيضٌ وَحُمرٌ مُختَلِفٌ أَلوانُها وَغَرابيبُ سودٌ

Don’t you see that God sends down water from the sky? With it, We produce fruits of various colors. In the mountains are streaks white and red, of various shades, and jet-black.

وَمِنَ النّاسِ وَالدَّوابِّ وَالأَنعامِ مُختَلِفٌ أَلوانُهُ كَذٰلِكَ ۗ إِنَّما يَخشَى اللَّهَ مِن عِبادِهِ العُلَماءُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ غَفورٌ

Similarly, humans, animals, and livestock are diverse in color. Among His servants, it’s the learned who fear God. God is Almighty and Forgiving.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَتلونَ كِتابَ اللَّهِ وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَنفَقوا مِمّا رَزَقناهُم سِرًّا وَعَلانِيَةً يَرجونَ تِجارَةً لَن تَبورَ

Those who uphold God’s Scripture, perform the prayers, and give in charity from what We provide for them, secretly and openly, hope for a commerce that will never fail.

لِيُوَفِّيَهُم أُجورَهُم وَيَزيدَهُم مِن فَضلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ غَفورٌ شَكورٌ

He will fully compensate them and increase them from His bounty. He is Forgiving and Appreciative.
