Ghafir 40:22

Ghafir - The Forgiver

غافر
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.

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.

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.
