وَآتَيناهُم بَيِّناتٍ مِنَ الأَمرِ ۖ فَمَا اختَلَفوا إِلّا مِن بَعدِ ما جاءَهُمُ العِلمُ بَغيًا بَينَهُم ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقضي بَينَهُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ فيما كانوا فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

We provided them with clear proofs of the matter. They only began to dispute after knowledge came to them—out of mutual jealousy. Your Lord will judge between them on Resurrection Day regarding their disputes.

ثُمَّ جَعَلناكَ عَلىٰ شَريعَةٍ مِنَ الأَمرِ فَاتَّبِعها وَلا تَتَّبِع أَهواءَ الَّذينَ لا يَعلَمونَ

Then We set you on the path of the ordinance, so follow it, and don’t follow the whims of those who don’t know.

إِنَّهُم لَن يُغنوا عَنكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيئًا ۚ وَإِنَّ الظّالِمينَ بَعضُهُم أَولِياءُ بَعضٍ ۖ وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ المُتَّقينَ

They won’t be able to protect you from God in anything. The wrongdoers are allies of each other, but God is the Ally of the righteous.

هـٰذا بَصائِرُ لِلنّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِقَومٍ يوقِنونَ

These are insights for humankind, guidance, and mercy for people who have unwavering faith.

أَم حَسِبَ الَّذينَ اجتَرَحُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن نَجعَلَهُم كَالَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ سَواءً مَحياهُم وَمَماتُهُم ۚ ساءَ ما يَحكُمونَ

Do those who commit evil deeds think that We will make them like those who have believed and done righteous deeds, both in their life and after their death? How ill they judge!

أَفَرَأَيتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلـٰهَهُ هَواهُ وَأَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ وَخَتَمَ عَلىٰ سَمعِهِ وَقَلبِهِ وَجَعَلَ عَلىٰ بَصَرِهِ غِشاوَةً فَمَن يَهديهِ مِن بَعدِ اللَّهِ ۚ أَفَلا تَذَكَّرونَ

Have you seen him who takes his own desires as his god? God, knowingly, allows him to stray, seals his hearing and heart, and places a covering over his sight. Who, then, can guide him after God? Won’t you then reflect?

وَقالوا ما هِيَ إِلّا حَياتُنَا الدُّنيا نَموتُ وَنَحيا وَما يُهلِكُنا إِلَّا الدَّهرُ ۚ وَما لَهُم بِذٰلِكَ مِن عِلمٍ ۖ إِن هُم إِلّا يَظُنّونَ

They assert, “There is nothing but our worldly life; we live and we die, and time alone destroys us.” But they have no knowledge of this; they are only guessing.

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ ما كانَ حُجَّتَهُم إِلّا أَن قالُوا ائتوا بِآبائِنا إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

When Our clear verses are presented to them, their only argument is, “Bring our ancestors back, if you are truthful.”

قُلِ اللَّهُ يُحييكُم ثُمَّ يُميتُكُم ثُمَّ يَجمَعُكُم إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ لا رَيبَ فيهِ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

Say, “God gives you life, then makes you die, then gathers you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. But most people don’t know.”

وَلِلَّهِ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ وَيَومَ تَقومُ السّاعَةُ يَومَئِذٍ يَخسَرُ المُبطِلونَ

To God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. On the Day when the Hour is established, on that day, those who falsify will lose.
