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.

وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمِن عَزمِ الأُمورِ

Those who patiently endure and forgive demonstrate fortitude.

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.

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.

لِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ يَخلُقُ ما يَشاءُ ۚ يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشاءُ إِناثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشاءُ الذُّكورَ

To God belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He creates whatever He wills. He grants to whom He wills females, and males to whom He wills.

أَو يُزَوِّجُهُم ذُكرانًا وَإِناثًا ۖ وَيَجعَلُ مَن يَشاءُ عَقيمًا ۚ إِنَّهُ عَليمٌ قَديرٌ

Or He combines them in pairs, male and female, and He renders whom He wills infertile. He is All-Knowing, Most Capable.

وَما كانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلّا وَحيًا أَو مِن وَراءِ حِجابٍ أَو يُرسِلَ رَسولًا فَيوحِيَ بِإِذنِهِ ما يَشاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَكيمٌ

It is not for any human that God should speak to him, except through revelation, or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. He is Exalted, Wise.
