قُل أَفَغَيرَ اللَّهِ تَأمُرونّي أَعبُدُ أَيُّهَا الجاهِلونَ

Say, “Do you instruct me to worship someone other than God, O ignorant people?”

وَلَقَد أوحِيَ إِلَيكَ وَإِلَى الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكَ لَئِن أَشرَكتَ لَيَحبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكونَنَّ مِنَ الخاسِرينَ

It was revealed to you and those before you that if you associate, your deeds will be nullified, and you will be among the losers.

بَلِ اللَّهَ فَاعبُد وَكُن مِنَ الشّاكِرينَ

Rather, worship God alone, and be among the thankful.

وَما قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدرِهِ وَالأَرضُ جَميعًا قَبضَتُهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ وَالسَّماواتُ مَطوِيّاتٌ بِيَمينِهِ ۚ سُبحانَهُ وَتَعالىٰ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

They can’t grasp the full extent of God’s greatness. The entire earth will be His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heaven will be folded in His right hand. Glorified is He, and High above what they associate with Him.

وَنُفِخَ فِي الصّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَمَن فِي الأَرضِ إِلّا مَن شاءَ اللَّهُ ۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فيهِ أُخرىٰ فَإِذا هُم قِيامٌ يَنظُرونَ

The Trumpet will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and in the earth will be struck with terror, except whom God wills. Then it will be sounded again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.

وَوُفِّيَت كُلُّ نَفسٍ ما عَمِلَت وَهُوَ أَعلَمُ بِما يَفعَلونَ

And every soul will be fully compensated for what it has done. He is well aware of what they do.

وَسيقَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا إِلىٰ جَهَنَّمَ زُمَرًا ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءوها فُتِحَت أَبوابُها وَقالَ لَهُم خَزَنَتُها أَلَم يَأتِكُم رُسُلٌ مِنكُم يَتلونَ عَلَيكُم آياتِ رَبِّكُم وَيُنذِرونَكُم لِقاءَ يَومِكُم هـٰذا ۚ قالوا بَلىٰ وَلـٰكِن حَقَّت كَلِمَةُ العَذابِ عَلَى الكافِرينَ

The unbelievers will be driven to Hell in groups, until, when they reach it, its gates are opened, and its keepers will say to them, “Did not messengers come to you from yourselves, reciting to you the verses of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?” They will say, “Yes, but the decree of punishment has been justified against the unbelievers.”

قيلَ ادخُلوا أَبوابَ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدينَ فيها ۖ فَبِئسَ مَثوَى المُتَكَبِّرينَ

It will be said, “Enter the gates of Hell, to dwell therein forever.” Wretched is the dwelling of the arrogant!

وَسيقَ الَّذينَ اتَّقَوا رَبَّهُم إِلَى الجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءوها وَفُتِحَت أَبوابُها وَقالَ لَهُم خَزَنَتُها سَلامٌ عَلَيكُم طِبتُم فَادخُلوها خالِدينَ

Those who revered their Lord will be led in groups towards Paradise. When they near it, its gates will be opened, and its keepers will greet them: “Peace be upon you, you’ve been good; so enter here, to dwell forever.”

وَقالُوا الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي صَدَقَنا وَعدَهُ وَأَورَثَنَا الأَرضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ حَيثُ نَشاءُ ۖ فَنِعمَ أَجرُ العامِلينَ

They will say, “Praise be to God, who fulfilled His promise to us and made us inherit this land, allowing us to settle in Paradise wherever we wish. How splendid is the reward of the workers.”
