وَلَقَد آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ فَاختُلِفَ فيهِ ۗ وَلَولا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَت مِن رَبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم ۚ وَإِنَّهُم لَفي شَكٍّ مِنهُ مُريبٍ
We gave Moses the Scripture, but disputes arose regarding it. If it wasn’t for a predetermined decision from your Lord, they would’ve been judged immediately. Yet they are in perplexing doubt about it.
مَن عَمِلَ صالِحًا فَلِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن أَساءَ فَعَلَيها ۗ وَما رَبُّكَ بِظَلّامٍ لِلعَبيدِ
Whoever acts righteously is for his good, and whoever commits evil is to his detriment. Your Lord does not wrong the servants.
إِلَيهِ يُرَدُّ عِلمُ السّاعَةِ ۚ وَما تَخرُجُ مِن ثَمَراتٍ مِن أَكمامِها وَما تَحمِلُ مِن أُنثىٰ وَلا تَضَعُ إِلّا بِعِلمِهِ ۚ وَيَومَ يُناديهِم أَينَ شُرَكائي قالوا آذَنّاكَ ما مِنّا مِن شَهيدٍ
To Him belongs the knowledge of the Hour. No fruit emerges from its sheath, nor does any female conceive or give birth, except with His knowledge. On the Day when He questions them, “Where are My partners?” They will reply, “We confess to You, not one of us can testify to that.”
وَضَلَّ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَدعونَ مِن قَبلُ ۖ وَظَنّوا ما لَهُم مِن مَحيصٍ
What they used to invoke before will disappear from them, and they will realize that there is no refuge for them.
لا يَسأَمُ الإِنسانُ مِن دُعاءِ الخَيرِ وَإِن مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَيَئوسٌ قَنوطٌ
Man never tires of praying for good, but if adversity touches him, he becomes despondent and despairing.
وَلَئِن أَذَقناهُ رَحمَةً مِنّا مِن بَعدِ ضَرّاءَ مَسَّتهُ لَيَقولَنَّ هـٰذا لي وَما أَظُنُّ السّاعَةَ قائِمَةً وَلَئِن رُجِعتُ إِلىٰ رَبّي إِنَّ لي عِندَهُ لَلحُسنىٰ ۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا بِما عَمِلوا وَلَنُذيقَنَّهُم مِن عَذابٍ غَليظٍ
And if we make him taste mercy from Us after harm has touched him, he will surely say, “This is for me, and I don’t think the Hour will come. And even if I’m returned to my Lord, surely, with Him, I will have the ultimate good.” But We will inform those who disbelieve of what they did, and We will make them taste a harsh punishment.
وَإِذا أَنعَمنا عَلَى الإِنسانِ أَعرَضَ وَنَأىٰ بِجانِبِهِ وَإِذا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذو دُعاءٍ عَريضٍ
When We bestow blessings upon a person, he turns away and withdraws. But when adversity touches him, he indulges in extensive prayers.
قُل أَرَأَيتُم إِن كانَ مِن عِندِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرتُم بِهِ مَن أَضَلُّ مِمَّن هُوَ في شِقاقٍ بَعيدٍ
Say, “Have you considered: if it is from God and you rejected it, who is more astray than one who is in extreme dissension?”
سَنُريهِم آياتِنا فِي الآفاقِ وَفي أَنفُسِهِم حَتّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُم أَنَّهُ الحَقُّ ۗ أَوَلَم يَكفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ شَهيدٌ
We will show them Our signs on the horizons and within themselves, until it becomes clear to them that it’s the truth. Does it not suffice that your Lord is a Witness over everything?
أَلا إِنَّهُم في مِريَةٍ مِن لِقاءِ رَبِّهِم ۗ أَلا إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ مُحيطٌ
Yes, they are in doubt about meeting their Lord. Yes, He fully encompasses all things.
