وَمَن يَعشُ عَن ذِكرِ الرَّحمـٰنِ نُقَيِّض لَهُ شَيطانًا فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرينٌ

For those who shun the remembrance of the Most Merciful, We assign for them a devil to be their constant companion.

وَإِنَّهُم لَيَصُدّونَهُم عَنِ السَّبيلِ وَيَحسَبونَ أَنَّهُم مُهتَدونَ

They lead them astray from the path, while they think they are guided.

حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءَنا قالَ يا لَيتَ بَيني وَبَينَكَ بُعدَ المَشرِقَينِ فَبِئسَ القَرينُ

Until, when he comes before Us, he will say, “I wish you and I were as distant as the two horizons—what a terrible companionship!”

وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ اليَومَ إِذ ظَلَمتُم أَنَّكُم فِي العَذابِ مُشتَرِكونَ

It won’t benefit you on that Day if you did wrong; you will be sharing in the punishment.

أَفَأَنتَ تُسمِعُ الصُّمَّ أَو تَهدِي العُميَ وَمَن كانَ في ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ

Can you make the deaf hear; or guide the blind, or those who are in evident error.

أَو نُرِيَنَّكَ الَّذي وَعَدناهُم فَإِنّا عَلَيهِم مُقتَدِرونَ

Or We may show you what We promised them, for We have absolute control over them.

فَاستَمسِك بِالَّذي أوحِيَ إِلَيكَ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلىٰ صِراطٍ مُستَقيمٍ

So, adhere to what was revealed to you; you are on a straight path.

وَإِنَّهُ لَذِكرٌ لَكَ وَلِقَومِكَ ۖ وَسَوفَ تُسأَلونَ

It is a reminder for you and your people, and you’ll be questioned.

وَاسأَل مَن أَرسَلنا مِن قَبلِكَ مِن رُسُلِنا أَجَعَلنا مِن دونِ الرَّحمـٰنِ آلِهَةً يُعبَدونَ

Ask the messengers We sent before you: “Did We ever appoint gods to be worshiped other than the Most Merciful?”

وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا موسىٰ بِآياتِنا إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَقالَ إِنّي رَسولُ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

With Our signs, we sent Moses to Pharaoh and his assembly, proclaiming, “I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds.”
