وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ لَيَقولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُل أَفَرَأَيتُم ما تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ إِن أَرادَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَل هُنَّ كاشِفاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَو أَرادَني بِرَحمَةٍ هَل هُنَّ مُمسِكاتُ رَحمَتِهِ ۚ قُل حَسبِيَ اللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ المُتَوَكِّلونَ

If you were to ask them, “Who created the heavens and the earth?” They would surely answer, “God.” Then, ask, “Did you consider those you call upon besides God? If God intends harm for me, would they lift His harm from me? Or if He intends mercy for me, would they withhold His mercy?” Say, “God suffices me; in Him trust those who put their trust.”

قُل يا قَومِ اعمَلوا عَلىٰ مَكانَتِكُم إِنّي عامِلٌ ۖ فَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ

Say, “O my people, continue doing whatever you are doing, just as I am. You will soon come to know.

مَن يَأتيهِ عَذابٌ يُخزيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيهِ عَذابٌ مُقيمٌ

To whom a punishment comes that disgraces him, on whom an enduring torment descends.”

إِنّا أَنزَلنا عَلَيكَ الكِتابَ لِلنّاسِ بِالحَقِّ ۖ فَمَنِ اهتَدىٰ فَلِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّما يَضِلُّ عَلَيها ۖ وَما أَنتَ عَلَيهِم بِوَكيلٍ

We revealed to you the Book for mankind in truth. Whoever follows guidance does so for his good, and whoever goes astray does so to his own loss. You are not responsible for them.

اللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى الأَنفُسَ حينَ مَوتِها وَالَّتي لَم تَمُت في مَنامِها ۖ فَيُمسِكُ الَّتي قَضىٰ عَلَيهَا المَوتَ وَيُرسِلُ الأُخرىٰ إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يَتَفَكَّرونَ

God takes the souls at the time of their death and those that haven’t died in their sleep. He retains those for whom death was decreed, and He sends the others back until their appointed time. In this are signs for those who reflect.

قُل لِلَّهِ الشَّفاعَةُ جَميعًا ۖ لَهُ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ

Say, “All intercession belongs exclusively to God. His is the dominion over the heavens and the earth. To Him, you will be returned.”

وَإِذا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَحدَهُ اشمَأَزَّت قُلوبُ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذا ذُكِرَ الَّذينَ مِن دونِهِ إِذا هُم يَستَبشِرونَ

And when God is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who don’t believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.

قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ فاطِرَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ عالِمَ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ أَنتَ تَحكُمُ بَينَ عِبادِكَ في ما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

Say: “O God, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, You will arbitrate among Your servants regarding their disputes.”

وَلَو أَنَّ لِلَّذينَ ظَلَموا ما فِي الأَرضِ جَميعًا وَمِثلَهُ مَعَهُ لَافتَدَوا بِهِ مِن سوءِ العَذابِ يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۚ وَبَدا لَهُم مِنَ اللَّهِ ما لَم يَكونوا يَحتَسِبونَ

If the wrongdoers possessed everything on earth, and twice as much, they would surely offer it to ransom themselves from the horrific punishment on Resurrection Day. And there will come to them, from God, what they had not been counting on.

وَبَدا لَهُم سَيِّئَاتُ ما كَسَبوا وَحاقَ بِهِم ما كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ

They will be confronted with the bad outcomes of their actions, and what they used to ridicule will come back to haunt them.
