Az-Zumar 39:2

Az-Zumar - The Troops

الزمر

إِنّا أَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ الكِتابَ بِالحَقِّ فَاعبُدِ اللَّهَ مُخلِصًا لَهُ الدّينَ

We revealed to you the Book of Truth. Therefore, worship God, dedicating your religion to Him alone.

Verse 3

أَلا لِلَّهِ الدّينُ الخالِصُ ۚ وَالَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا مِن دونِهِ أَولِياءَ ما نَعبُدُهُم إِلّا لِيُقَرِّبونا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلفىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحكُمُ بَينَهُم في ما هُم فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهدي مَن هُوَ كاذِبٌ كَفّارٌ

Isn’t exclusive devotion due to God? Those who take protectors besides Him say, “We worship them only to bring us closer to God.” God will judge their differences. God doesn’t guide the lying disbeliever.

Verse 4

لَو أَرادَ اللَّهُ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا لَاصطَفىٰ مِمّا يَخلُقُ ما يَشاءُ ۚ سُبحانَهُ ۖ هُوَ اللَّهُ الواحِدُ القَهّارُ

If God had intended to take a child, He could’ve chosen what He willed from His creation. Glory be to Him! He is God, the One, the Overpowering.

Verse 5

خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ بِالحَقِّ ۖ يُكَوِّرُ اللَّيلَ عَلَى النَّهارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّهارَ عَلَى اللَّيلِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجري لِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۗ أَلا هُوَ العَزيزُ الغَفّارُ

He created the heavens and the earth with purpose. He wraps the night over the day, and He wraps the day over the night. He subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a predetermined period. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving.

Verse 6

خَلَقَكُم مِن نَفسٍ واحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنها زَوجَها وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِنَ الأَنعامِ ثَمانِيَةَ أَزواجٍ ۚ يَخلُقُكُم في بُطونِ أُمَّهاتِكُم خَلقًا مِن بَعدِ خَلقٍ في ظُلُماتٍ ثَلاثٍ ۚ ذٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُم لَهُ المُلكُ ۖ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ فَأَنّىٰ تُصرَفونَ

He created you from a single soul. Then, from it, He formed its mate. He sent down eight pairs of livestock for you. He formed you within your mothers’ wombs in successive stages, within a triple darkness. Such is God, your Lord; His is the sovereignty. There is no god but Him, so why do you deviate?

Verse 7

إِن تَكفُروا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ عَنكُم ۖ وَلا يَرضىٰ لِعِبادِهِ الكُفرَ ۖ وَإِن تَشكُروا يَرضَهُ لَكُم ۗ وَلا تَزِرُ وازِرَةٌ وِزرَ أُخرىٰ ۗ ثُمَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكُم مَرجِعُكُم فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِما كُنتُم تَعمَلونَ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدورِ

If you are ungrateful, God doesn’t need you. Yet, He doesn’t approve of ingratitude from His beings. If you are grateful, He is pleased with you. No bearer of burdens can bear the burdens of another. Ultimately, your return is to your Lord, who will inform you of everything you did. He knows the secrets within the hearts.
