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.

أَو يوبِقهُنَّ بِما كَسَبوا وَيَعفُ عَن كَثيرٍ

Or He could destroy them because of what they’ve earned, yet He pardons much.

وَيَعلَمَ الَّذينَ يُجادِلونَ في آياتِنا ما لَهُم مِن مَحيصٍ

Those who dispute God’s revelations won’t find any refuge.

وَالَّذينَ يَجتَنِبونَ كَبائِرَ الإِثمِ وَالفَواحِشَ وَإِذا ما غَضِبوا هُم يَغفِرونَ

Those who avoid grave sins and indecencies; and when they are angered, they forgive.

وَالَّذينَ استَجابوا لِرَبِّهِم وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَمرُهُم شورىٰ بَينَهُم وَمِمّا رَزَقناهُم يُنفِقونَ

Those who respond to their Lord, perform their prayers, conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and give from what We provide for them.

وَالَّذينَ إِذا أَصابَهُمُ البَغيُ هُم يَنتَصِرونَ

Those who, when tyranny afflicts them, defend themselves.

وَجَزاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِثلُها ۖ فَمَن عَفا وَأَصلَحَ فَأَجرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الظّالِمينَ

The retribution for an evil deed is an equivalent evil. Yet, whoever pardons and reconciles, his reward is with God. He doesn’t love the wrongdoers.

وَلَمَنِ انتَصَرَ بَعدَ ظُلمِهِ فَأُولـٰئِكَ ما عَلَيهِم مِن سَبيلٍ

Those who retaliate after being wronged bear no guilt.
