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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

وَما أَصابَكُم مِن مُصيبَةٍ فَبِما كَسَبَت أَيديكُم وَيَعفو عَن كَثيرٍ

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

وَما أَنتُم بِمُعجِزينَ فِي الأَرضِ ۖ وَما لَكُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

You can’t escape on earth, and you have no protector or helper besides God.

وَمِن آياتِهِ الجَوارِ فِي البَحرِ كَالأَعلامِ

Among His signs are ships sailing like mountains in the sea.

إِن يَشَأ يُسكِنِ الرّيحَ فَيَظلَلنَ رَواكِدَ عَلىٰ ظَهرِهِ ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبّارٍ شَكورٍ

If He willed, He could still the wind, leaving them motionless on its surface. In this, there are signs for every patient, grateful person.
