وَذٰلِكُم ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذي ظَنَنتُم بِرَبِّكُم أَرداكُم فَأَصبَحتُم مِنَ الخاسِرينَ
Your misconception about your Lord caused your ruin, and now you are among the losers.
فَإِن يَصبِروا فَالنّارُ مَثوًى لَهُم ۖ وَإِن يَستَعتِبوا فَما هُم مِنَ المُعتَبينَ
If they endure patiently, the Fire is their destination. If they try to justify themselves, they won’t be pardoned.
وَقَيَّضنا لَهُم قُرَناءَ فَزَيَّنوا لَهُم ما بَينَ أَيديهِم وَما خَلفَهُم وَحَقَّ عَلَيهِمُ القَولُ في أُمَمٍ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِهِم مِنَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ ۖ إِنَّهُم كانوا خاسِرينَ
We’ve appointed partners for them, who make their past and future actions attractive to them, leading them towards a fate akin to that of previous generations of jinn and humans, all of whom ultimately met their loss.
وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لا تَسمَعوا لِهـٰذَا القُرآنِ وَالغَوا فيهِ لَعَلَّكُم تَغلِبونَ
The unbelievers say, “Don’t listen to this Quran, and drown it in noise, so you may prevail.”
فَلَنُذيقَنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا عَذابًا شَديدًا وَلَنَجزِيَنَّهُم أَسوَأَ الَّذي كانوا يَعمَلونَ
We will make those who disbelieve taste the severe punishment and reward them with the worst of what they used to do.
ذٰلِكَ جَزاءُ أَعداءِ اللَّهِ النّارُ ۖ لَهُم فيها دارُ الخُلدِ ۖ جَزاءً بِما كانوا بِآياتِنا يَجحَدونَ
This is the retribution for God’s enemies: the Fire, their eternal dwelling, a recompense because they used to deny Our signs.
وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا رَبَّنا أَرِنَا اللَّذَينِ أَضَلّانا مِنَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ نَجعَلهُما تَحتَ أَقدامِنا لِيَكونا مِنَ الأَسفَلينَ
The disbelievers will plead, “Our Lord, show us those who misled us—both jinn and humans—so we may put them beneath our feet, reducing them to the lowest.”
إِنَّ الَّذينَ قالوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ استَقاموا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيهِمُ المَلائِكَةُ أَلّا تَخافوا وَلا تَحزَنوا وَأَبشِروا بِالجَنَّةِ الَّتي كُنتُم توعَدونَ
Those who say, “Our Lord is God,” and then go straight, the angels will descend upon them: “Fear not, nor grieve, but rejoice in the Paradise that you’ve been promised.
نَحنُ أَولِياؤُكُم فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ ۖ وَلَكُم فيها ما تَشتَهي أَنفُسُكُم وَلَكُم فيها ما تَدَّعونَ
We are your allies in this life and in the Hereafter, where you will have everything your hearts could desire and everything you request.
نُزُلًا مِن غَفورٍ رَحيمٍ
A hospitality from a Merciful Forgiver.”
وَمَن أَحسَنُ قَولًا مِمَّن دَعا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صالِحًا وَقالَ إِنَّني مِنَ المُسلِمينَ
Who speaks better than one who calls to God, acts righteously, and says, “I am among those who submit”?
