Ghafir - The Forgiver

غافر
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.

Verse 14

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.

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.

Verse 20

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.

Verse 21

أَوَلَم يَسيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَيَنظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الَّذينَ كانوا مِن قَبلِهِم ۚ كانوا هُم أَشَدَّ مِنهُم قُوَّةً وَآثارًا فِي الأَرضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنوبِهِم وَما كانَ لَهُم مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن واقٍ

Didn’t they journey through the earth and see what was the end of those before them? They were stronger than them, and had more impact on the earth. Yet, God seized them for their sins, and they had no protector against God.

Verse 22

ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم كانَت تَأتيهِم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ فَكَفَروا فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ قَوِيٌّ شَديدُ العِقابِ

Their messengers came to them with clear signs, yet they disbelieved. So, God seized them. He is powerful and severe in retribution.

Verse 23

وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا موسىٰ بِآياتِنا وَسُلطانٍ مُبينٍ

We sent Moses with Our signs and a manifest authority.
