إِنَّ اللَّهَ عالِمُ غَيبِ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدورِ
God is the Knower of the unseen realms of the heavens and the earth, and He knows what’s in the hearts.
هُوَ الَّذي جَعَلَكُم خَلائِفَ فِي الأَرضِ ۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيهِ كُفرُهُ ۖ وَلا يَزيدُ الكافِرينَ كُفرُهُم عِندَ رَبِّهِم إِلّا مَقتًا ۖ وَلا يَزيدُ الكافِرينَ كُفرُهُم إِلّا خَسارًا
It is He who made you stewards of the earth. Whoever disbelieves, his disbelief is against him. The disbelief of unbelievers only increases their Lord’s displeasure of them. The disbelief of the disbelievers adds only to their loss.
قُل أَرَأَيتُم شُرَكاءَكُمُ الَّذينَ تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ أَروني ماذا خَلَقوا مِنَ الأَرضِ أَم لَهُم شِركٌ فِي السَّماواتِ أَم آتَيناهُم كِتابًا فَهُم عَلىٰ بَيِّنَتٍ مِنهُ ۚ بَل إِن يَعِدُ الظّالِمونَ بَعضُهُم بَعضًا إِلّا غُرورًا
Say, “Consider those you deem as God’s equals. Show me what part of the earth they’ve created, or do they have a share in the heavens?” Or did We give them a book from which they derive clear evidence? The evildoers promise each other nothing but delusion.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ أَن تَزولا ۚ وَلَئِن زالَتا إِن أَمسَكَهُما مِن أَحَدٍ مِن بَعدِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَليمًا غَفورًا
God upholds the heavens and the earth, preventing them from vanishing. If any entity other than Him were to sustain them, they would surely fall into ruin. Indeed, He is ever Patient and Forgiving.
وَأَقسَموا بِاللَّهِ جَهدَ أَيمانِهِم لَئِن جاءَهُم نَذيرٌ لَيَكونُنَّ أَهدىٰ مِن إِحدَى الأُمَمِ ۖ فَلَمّا جاءَهُم نَذيرٌ ما زادَهُم إِلّا نُفورًا
They swore their most solemn oaths by God, that if a warner came to them, they would be more guided than any other nation. Yet, when a warner came to them, it did not increase them except in aversion.
استِكبارًا فِي الأَرضِ وَمَكرَ السَّيِّئِ ۚ وَلا يَحيقُ المَكرُ السَّيِّئُ إِلّا بِأَهلِهِ ۚ فَهَل يَنظُرونَ إِلّا سُنَّتَ الأَوَّلينَ ۚ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَبديلًا ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَحويلًا
They behave arrogantly in the land and scheme evil. But the evil scheme only ensnares its own authors. Can they await anything but the fate of the predecessors? You won’t find any change in God’s way nor any deviation from it.
أَوَلَم يَسيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَيَنظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم وَكانوا أَشَدَّ مِنهُم قُوَّةً ۚ وَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعجِزَهُ مِن شَيءٍ فِي السَّماواتِ وَلا فِي الأَرضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ عَليمًا قَديرًا
Didn’t they roam the earth and see how was the end of those before them? They were more powerful than them. Yet there is nothing in the heavens or on earth that can thwart God. Indeed, He is All-Knowing, Most Capable.
وَلَو يُؤاخِذُ اللَّهُ النّاسَ بِما كَسَبوا ما تَرَكَ عَلىٰ ظَهرِها مِن دابَّةٍ وَلـٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُم إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۖ فَإِذا جاءَ أَجَلُهُم فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِعِبادِهِ بَصيرًا
If God were to seize people for their deeds, He wouldn’t leave a single living thing on its surface. But He delays them until a specified time. And when their time comes—God is Observant of His servants.
