قُل إِنّي أُمِرتُ أَن أَعبُدَ اللَّهَ مُخلِصًا لَهُ الدّينَ
Say, “I am commanded to worship God, dedicating my faith entirely to Him.
وَأُمِرتُ لِأَن أَكونَ أَوَّلَ المُسلِمينَ
And I am also commanded to be the first of the Submitters.”
قُل إِنّي أَخافُ إِن عَصَيتُ رَبّي عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
Say, “I fear the punishment of a formidable Day should I disobey my Lord.”
قُلِ اللَّهَ أَعبُدُ مُخلِصًا لَهُ ديني
Say, “I worship God, dedicating my religion purely to Him.”
فَاعبُدوا ما شِئتُم مِن دونِهِ ۗ قُل إِنَّ الخاسِرينَ الَّذينَ خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم وَأَهليهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۗ أَلا ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الخُسرانُ المُبينُ
“So, worship whatever you want besides Him.” Say, “The losers are those who lose themselves and their families on Resurrection Day.” Most certainly, that’s the most significant loss.
لَهُم مِن فَوقِهِم ظُلَلٌ مِنَ النّارِ وَمِن تَحتِهِم ظُلَلٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ يُخَوِّفُ اللَّهُ بِهِ عِبادَهُ ۚ يا عِبادِ فَاتَّقونِ
Upon them are layers of fire, and beneath them are layers. This is how God instills fear into His beings. “O My beings, be mindful of Me.”
وَالَّذينَ اجتَنَبُوا الطّاغوتَ أَن يَعبُدوها وَأَنابوا إِلَى اللَّهِ لَهُمُ البُشرىٰ ۚ فَبَشِّر عِبادِ
As for those who shun false worship and turn in repentance to God, for them are glad tidings. So, give good news to My servants.
الَّذينَ يَستَمِعونَ القَولَ فَيَتَّبِعونَ أَحسَنَهُ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ هَداهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُم أُولُو الأَلبابِ
Those who listen to the word and follow the best of it are the ones whom God has guided, and they are the ones blessed with discernment.
أَفَمَن حَقَّ عَلَيهِ كَلِمَةُ العَذابِ أَفَأَنتَ تُنقِذُ مَن فِي النّارِ
As for those who deserve the punishment—can you save those who are in the Fire?
لـٰكِنِ الَّذينَ اتَّقَوا رَبَّهُم لَهُم غُرَفٌ مِن فَوقِها غُرَفٌ مَبنِيَّةٌ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ ۖ وَعدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لا يُخلِفُ اللَّهُ الميعادَ
Yet, those who revere their Lord will have lofts, constructed one above another, beneath which rivers flow. This is the promise of God, God does not fail in His promise.
أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَسَلَكَهُ يَنابيعَ فِي الأَرضِ ثُمَّ يُخرِجُ بِهِ زَرعًا مُختَلِفًا أَلوانُهُ ثُمَّ يَهيجُ فَتَراهُ مُصفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَجعَلُهُ حُطامًا ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَذِكرىٰ لِأُولِي الأَلبابِ
Don’t you see how God sends down water from the sky, seeping into the earth to form springs? Through them, He produces crops of different colors. Then they wither, and you see them turn yellow, before He reduces them to chaff. In that is a reminder for those who have understanding.
