Ghafir 40:14

Ghafir - The Forgiver

غافر
Verse 9

وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَاتِ يَومَئِذٍ فَقَد رَحِمتَهُ ۚ وَذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

And shield them from evil deeds. Whomever You shield from evil deeds on that Day has received Your mercy, and that’s the ultimate triumph.”

Verse 10

إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يُنادَونَ لَمَقتُ اللَّهِ أَكبَرُ مِن مَقتِكُم أَنفُسَكُم إِذ تُدعَونَ إِلَى الإيمانِ فَتَكفُرونَ

The disbelievers will be told, “God’s abhorrence of you is greater than your self-loathing, for when you were invited to faith, you refused.”

Verse 11

قالوا رَبَّنا أَمَتَّنَا اثنَتَينِ وَأَحيَيتَنَا اثنَتَينِ فَاعتَرَفنا بِذُنوبِنا فَهَل إِلىٰ خُروجٍ مِن سَبيلٍ

They will plead, “Our Lord, You’ve caused us to die twice, and You’ve given us life twice. Now we admit our sins; is there an escape?”

Verse 12

ذٰلِكُم بِأَنَّهُ إِذا دُعِيَ اللَّهُ وَحدَهُ كَفَرتُم ۖ وَإِن يُشرَك بِهِ تُؤمِنوا ۚ فَالحُكمُ لِلَّهِ العَلِيِّ الكَبيرِ

This is because when God alone was called upon, you disbelieved, but when partners were associated with Him, you believed. Judgment belongs to God, the Most High, the Supreme.

Verse 13

هُوَ الَّذي يُريكُم آياتِهِ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِنَ السَّماءِ رِزقًا ۚ وَما يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلّا مَن يُنيبُ

It is He who shows you His marvels and sends down sustenance from the sky for you. Only those who turn to Him will truly understand.

فَادعُوا اللَّهَ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ وَلَو كَرِهَ الكافِرونَ

Invoke God, dedicating your devotion to Him, even though the unbelievers may detest it.

Verse 15

رَفيعُ الدَّرَجاتِ ذُو العَرشِ يُلقِي الرّوحَ مِن أَمرِهِ عَلىٰ مَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ لِيُنذِرَ يَومَ التَّلاقِ

He is of the highest rank, the Master of all sovereignty. He sends down the Spirit by His command to whichever of His servants He wills, to warn of the Day of Encounter.

Verse 16

يَومَ هُم بارِزونَ ۖ لا يَخفىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنهُم شَيءٌ ۚ لِمَنِ المُلكُ اليَومَ ۖ لِلَّهِ الواحِدِ القَهّارِ

On that Day, they will emerge, with nothing about them will be hidden from God. To whom does sovereignty belong today? To God, the One, the Irresistible.

Verse 17

اليَومَ تُجزىٰ كُلُّ نَفسٍ بِما كَسَبَت ۚ لا ظُلمَ اليَومَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَريعُ الحِسابِ

On that Day, every soul will be recompensed for what it has earned. There will be no injustice on that Day. God is swift in taking account.

Verse 18

وَأَنذِرهُم يَومَ الآزِفَةِ إِذِ القُلوبُ لَدَى الحَناجِرِ كاظِمينَ ۚ ما لِلظّالِمينَ مِن حَميمٍ وَلا شَفيعٍ يُطاعُ

Warn them of the approaching Day, when hearts are at throats, choked with fear. The wrongdoers will have no comforting friend, nor any intercessor who might be obeyed.

Verse 19

يَعلَمُ خائِنَةَ الأَعيُنِ وَما تُخفِي الصُّدورُ

He knows the treachery of the eyes and what the hearts conceal.
