هُوَ الَّذي يُحيي وَيُميتُ ۖ فَإِذا قَضىٰ أَمرًا فَإِنَّما يَقولُ لَهُ كُن فَيَكونُ
It is He who gives life and causes death. When He decrees an affair, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes.
أَلَم تَرَ إِلَى الَّذينَ يُجادِلونَ في آياتِ اللَّهِ أَنّىٰ يُصرَفونَ
Didn’t you see how those who dispute concerning God’s verses—how are they averted?
الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِالكِتابِ وَبِما أَرسَلنا بِهِ رُسُلَنا ۖ فَسَوفَ يَعلَمونَ
Those who deny the Scripture and what We sent Our messengers with, will indeed know.
إِذِ الأَغلالُ في أَعناقِهِم وَالسَّلاسِلُ يُسحَبونَ
With shackles around their necks, and dragged by chains.
فِي الحَميمِ ثُمَّ فِي النّارِ يُسجَرونَ
In boiling water, then in the Fire they will be burnt.
ثُمَّ قيلَ لَهُم أَينَ ما كُنتُم تُشرِكونَ
Then it will be said to them, “Where are those whom you used to associate?
مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قالوا ضَلّوا عَنّا بَل لَم نَكُن نَدعو مِن قَبلُ شَيئًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ الكافِرينَ
Besides God?” They will reply, “They have deserted us. Actually, we were not calling upon anything before.” In this way, God lets the unbelievers go astray.
ذٰلِكُم بِما كُنتُم تَفرَحونَ فِي الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَبِما كُنتُم تَمرَحونَ
This is because you exulted in the earth baselessly, and because you were frolicking.
ادخُلوا أَبوابَ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدينَ فيها ۖ فَبِئسَ مَثوَى المُتَكَبِّرينَ
Enter the gates of hell to stay therein forever—what a terrible abode for the arrogant!
فَاصبِر إِنَّ وَعدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ ۚ فَإِمّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعضَ الَّذي نَعِدُهُم أَو نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَينا يُرجَعونَ
Therefore, be patient; the promise of God is true. Whether We show you some of what We’ve promised them, or We cause you to pass away, to Us, they will be returned.
وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا رُسُلًا مِن قَبلِكَ مِنهُم مَن قَصَصنا عَلَيكَ وَمِنهُم مَن لَم نَقصُص عَلَيكَ ۗ وَما كانَ لِرَسولٍ أَن يَأتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلّا بِإِذنِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِذا جاءَ أَمرُ اللَّهِ قُضِيَ بِالحَقِّ وَخَسِرَ هُنالِكَ المُبطِلونَ
We sent messengers before you; some of their stories We’ve told you, and some We haven’t. No messenger can bring a sign except by God’s permission. When God’s decree comes, the matter will be settled in truth, and those who perpetuated falsehood will then lose.
