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.”
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?”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
يَعلَمُ خائِنَةَ الأَعيُنِ وَما تُخفِي الصُّدورُ
He knows the treachery of the eyes and what the hearts conceal.
وَاللَّهُ يَقضي بِالحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذينَ يَدعونَ مِن دونِهِ لا يَقضونَ بِشَيءٍ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّميعُ البَصيرُ
God judges with the truth, while those they call upon other than Him can’t judge at all. God is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
