Ash-Shuraa 42:25

Ash-Shuraa - The Consultation

الشورى
Verse 20

مَن كانَ يُريدُ حَرثَ الآخِرَةِ نَزِد لَهُ في حَرثِهِ ۖ وَمَن كانَ يُريدُ حَرثَ الدُّنيا نُؤتِهِ مِنها وَما لَهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِن نَصيبٍ

Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, we will increase for him his yield. And whoever desires the harvest of this world, We will give him some of it, but in the Hereafter he will have no share.

Verse 21

أَم لَهُم شُرَكاءُ شَرَعوا لَهُم مِنَ الدّينِ ما لَم يَأذَن بِهِ اللَّهُ ۚ وَلَولا كَلِمَةُ الفَصلِ لَقُضِيَ بَينَهُم ۗ وَإِنَّ الظّالِمينَ لَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

Or do they have associates who have legislated for them a religion not authorized by God? If not for a conclusive word, judgment would’ve been passed between them. The wrongdoers will face a grievous punishment.

Verse 22

تَرَى الظّالِمينَ مُشفِقينَ مِمّا كَسَبوا وَهُوَ واقِعٌ بِهِم ۗ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ في رَوضاتِ الجَنّاتِ ۖ لَهُم ما يَشاءونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِم ۚ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَضلُ الكَبيرُ

You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they’ve earned, and it will befall them. Yet those who believe and do righteous deeds will be in the meadows of the gardens, receiving whatever they desire from their Lord. This is the greatest bounty.

Verse 23

ذٰلِكَ الَّذي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبادَهُ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ ۗ قُل لا أَسأَلُكُم عَلَيهِ أَجرًا إِلَّا المَوَدَّةَ فِي القُربىٰ ۗ وَمَن يَقتَرِف حَسَنَةً نَزِد لَهُ فيها حُسنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ شَكورٌ

God gives this good news to His servants who believe and perform righteous deeds. Say, “I ask no reward from you for it, except affection to kin.” Whoever earns a good deed, We will increase its goodness for him. God is Forgiving and Appreciative.

Verse 24

أَم يَقولونَ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۖ فَإِن يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يَختِم عَلىٰ قَلبِكَ ۗ وَيَمحُ اللَّهُ الباطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الحَقَّ بِكَلِماتِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدورِ

Or do they say, “He invented lies about God”? If God willed, He could seal your heart. But God dispels falsehoods and establishes the truth with His words. He is fully aware of what resides within hearts.

وَهُوَ الَّذي يَقبَلُ التَّوبَةَ عَن عِبادِهِ وَيَعفو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَيَعلَمُ ما تَفعَلونَ

It is He who accepts repentance from His beings, forgives sins and knows what you do.

Verse 26

وَيَستَجيبُ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ وَيَزيدُهُم مِن فَضلِهِ ۚ وَالكافِرونَ لَهُم عَذابٌ شَديدٌ

He answers those who believe and perform righteous deeds, and increases them from His bounty. But the unbelievers will suffer a harsh punishment.

Verse 27

وَلَو بَسَطَ اللَّهُ الرِّزقَ لِعِبادِهِ لَبَغَوا فِي الأَرضِ وَلـٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ ما يَشاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِعِبادِهِ خَبيرٌ بَصيرٌ

If God were to expand the provision for His servants, they would commit excess on earth. But He sends down what He wills in measured amounts. He is All-Seeing and All-Aware of His beings.

Verse 28

وَهُوَ الَّذي يُنَزِّلُ الغَيثَ مِن بَعدِ ما قَنَطوا وَيَنشُرُ رَحمَتَهُ ۚ وَهُوَ الوَلِيُّ الحَميدُ

It is He who sends down rain after they have lost hope and spreads His mercy. He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.

Verse 29

وَمِن آياتِهِ خَلقُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَثَّ فيهِما مِن دابَّةٍ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ جَمعِهِم إِذا يَشاءُ قَديرٌ

Among His signs are the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures He has spread within them. And He is capable of gathering them at will.

Verse 30

وَما أَصابَكُم مِن مُصيبَةٍ فَبِما كَسَبَت أَيديكُم وَيَعفو عَن كَثيرٍ

Whatever misfortune befalls you is due to your deeds. Yet, He pardons much.
