هـٰذا عَطاؤُنا فَامنُن أَو أَمسِك بِغَيرِ حِسابٍ
“This is Our gift, so dispense or withhold, without account.”
وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنا لَزُلفىٰ وَحُسنَ مَآبٍ
He holds a position of proximity to Us, and a beautiful final destination.
وَاذكُر عَبدَنا أَيّوبَ إِذ نادىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنّي مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيطانُ بِنُصبٍ وَعَذابٍ
And remember Our servant Job, who appealed to his Lord: “Satan afflicted me with hardship and suffering.”
اركُض بِرِجلِكَ ۖ هـٰذا مُغتَسَلٌ بارِدٌ وَشَرابٌ
“Strike with your foot. Here is cool water for washing and drinking.”
وَوَهَبنا لَهُ أَهلَهُ وَمِثلَهُم مَعَهُم رَحمَةً مِنّا وَذِكرىٰ لِأُولِي الأَلبابِ
We restored his family to him, and the same with them, as a mercy from Us, and a lesson for those with understanding.
وَخُذ بِيَدِكَ ضِغثًا فَاضرِب بِهِ وَلا تَحنَث ۗ إِنّا وَجَدناهُ صابِرًا ۚ نِعمَ العَبدُ ۖ إِنَّهُ أَوّابٌ
“And take in your hand a bundle and strike with it, and don’t break your oath.” We found him patient. What an excellent servant he was, always returning.
وَاذكُر عِبادَنا إِبراهيمَ وَإِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ أُولِي الأَيدي وَالأَبصارِ
And mention Our servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, possessors of strength and insight.
إِنّا أَخلَصناهُم بِخالِصَةٍ ذِكرَى الدّارِ
We granted them a unique favor—the remembrance of the Home.
وَإِنَّهُم عِندَنا لَمِنَ المُصطَفَينَ الأَخيارِ
They are among Our chosen ones, the outstanding.
وَاذكُر إِسماعيلَ وَاليَسَعَ وَذَا الكِفلِ ۖ وَكُلٌّ مِنَ الأَخيارِ
Also remember Ishmael, Elisha, and Ezekiel. Each of them was among the excellent.
هـٰذا ذِكرٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلمُتَّقينَ لَحُسنَ مَآبٍ
This is a reminder. For the virtuous, there is a beautiful place of return.
