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.

إِنَّمَا السَّبيلُ عَلَى الَّذينَ يَظلِمونَ النّاسَ وَيَبغونَ فِي الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ لَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

The guilt lies with those who oppress others and instigate aggression on earth without justice. For them, there is a severe punishment.

وَمَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِن وَلِيٍّ مِن بَعدِهِ ۗ وَتَرَى الظّالِمينَ لَمّا رَأَوُا العَذابَ يَقولونَ هَل إِلىٰ مَرَدٍّ مِن سَبيلٍ

Whomever God misguides will have no protector besides Him. When they face the punishment, you will witness the wrongdoers pleading, “Is there any way to go back?”

وَتَراهُم يُعرَضونَ عَلَيها خاشِعينَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ يَنظُرونَ مِن طَرفٍ خَفِيٍّ ۗ وَقالَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِنَّ الخاسِرينَ الَّذينَ خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم وَأَهليهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۗ أَلا إِنَّ الظّالِمينَ في عَذابٍ مُقيمٍ

You will see them exposed to it, humbled by disgrace, looking with a furtive glance. The believers will say, “The losers are those who lost themselves and their families on Resurrection Day.” Surely, the wrongdoers are in lasting punishment.

وَما كانَ لَهُم مِن أَولِياءَ يَنصُرونَهُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِن سَبيلٍ

They will have no protectors to aid them other than God. And for whomever God leaves astray, there is no way.

استَجيبوا لِرَبِّكُم مِن قَبلِ أَن يَأتِيَ يَومٌ لا مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۚ ما لَكُم مِن مَلجَإٍ يَومَئِذٍ وَما لَكُم مِن نَكيرٍ

Respond to your Lord before a Day from God arrives that can’t be repelled. On that Day, you will have no shelter, and no possibility of denial.

فَإِن أَعرَضوا فَما أَرسَلناكَ عَلَيهِم حَفيظًا ۖ إِن عَلَيكَ إِلَّا البَلاغُ ۗ وَإِنّا إِذا أَذَقنَا الإِنسانَ مِنّا رَحمَةً فَرِحَ بِها ۖ وَإِن تُصِبهُم سَيِّئَةٌ بِما قَدَّمَت أَيديهِم فَإِنَّ الإِنسانَ كَفورٌ

If they turn away, We didn’t send you as their keeper. Your responsibility is only to deliver the message. When We bestow Our grace on a person, he rejoices in it. And when adversity touches him due to his deeds, man becomes ungrateful.
