أَلَم يَأنِ لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا أَن تَخشَعَ قُلوبُهُم لِذِكرِ اللَّهِ وَما نَزَلَ مِنَ الحَقِّ وَلا يَكونوا كَالَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ مِن قَبلُ فَطالَ عَلَيهِمُ الأَمَدُ فَقَسَت قُلوبُهُم ۖ وَكَثيرٌ مِنهُم فاسِقونَ

Isn’t it time yet for the believers’ hearts to become humble to God’s remembrance and the revealed truth? They shouldn’t be like those who were given the Scripture before, whose hearts hardened over time, and many of them are sinners.

اعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحيِي الأَرضَ بَعدَ مَوتِها ۚ قَد بَيَّنّا لَكُمُ الآياتِ لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلونَ

Know that God revives the earth after its death. We’ve clearly explained Our revelations to you, so you may understand.

إِنَّ المُصَّدِّقينَ وَالمُصَّدِّقاتِ وَأَقرَضُوا اللَّهَ قَرضًا حَسَنًا يُضاعَفُ لَهُم وَلَهُم أَجرٌ كَريمٌ

The charitable men and women who lend to God a good loan: it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a generous reward.

وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ أُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الصِّدّيقونَ ۖ وَالشُّهَداءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِم لَهُم أَجرُهُم وَنورُهُم ۖ وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا وَكَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ الجَحيمِ

Those who believe in God and His messengers—they are the truthful and the witnesses before their Lord. They will have their reward and their light. But those who disbelieve and deny Our signs—they are the inhabitants of the Blaze.

اعلَموا أَنَّمَا الحَياةُ الدُّنيا لَعِبٌ وَلَهوٌ وَزينَةٌ وَتَفاخُرٌ بَينَكُم وَتَكاثُرٌ فِي الأَموالِ وَالأَولادِ ۖ كَمَثَلِ غَيثٍ أَعجَبَ الكُفّارَ نَباتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهيجُ فَتَراهُ مُصفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكونُ حُطامًا ۖ وَفِي الآخِرَةِ عَذابٌ شَديدٌ وَمَغفِرَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضوانٌ ۚ وَمَا الحَياةُ الدُّنيا إِلّا مَتاعُ الغُرورِ

Know that the life of this world is but play, diversion, glitter, boasting among you, and competition in increase of wealth and children—like rain whose resulting crop delights the unbelievers; then it withers, and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes scattered debris. There is severe punishment, forgiveness from God, and approval in the Hereafter. The life of this world is nothing more than the enjoyment of delusion.

ما أَصابَ مِن مُصيبَةٍ فِي الأَرضِ وَلا في أَنفُسِكُم إِلّا في كِتابٍ مِن قَبلِ أَن نَبرَأَها ۚ إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسيرٌ

Every calamity that strikes the earth or yourselves was recorded before We brought it into existence. This is easy for God.

لِكَيلا تَأسَوا عَلىٰ ما فاتَكُم وَلا تَفرَحوا بِما آتاكُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُختالٍ فَخورٍ

So that you may not despair over what eludes you, nor rejoice over what He has given you. God doesn’t love the boastful or the arrogant.

الَّذينَ يَبخَلونَ وَيَأمُرونَ النّاسَ بِالبُخلِ ۗ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الغَنِيُّ الحَميدُ

Those who are reluctant to give and advise others to be the same; and whoever turns away—God is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy.

لَقَد أَرسَلنا رُسُلَنا بِالبَيِّناتِ وَأَنزَلنا مَعَهُمُ الكِتابَ وَالميزانَ لِيَقومَ النّاسُ بِالقِسطِ ۖ وَأَنزَلنَا الحَديدَ فيهِ بَأسٌ شَديدٌ وَمَنافِعُ لِلنّاسِ وَلِيَعلَمَ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ وَرُسُلَهُ بِالغَيبِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزيزٌ

We sent Our messengers with clear signs, and We sent down with them the Scripture and the Balance, so that people may uphold justice. We also sent down iron, in which is a great strength and benefits for humankind, so that God may distinguish those who support Him and His messengers, although unseen. God is Powerful and Mighty.

وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا نوحًا وَإِبراهيمَ وَجَعَلنا في ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا النُّبُوَّةَ وَالكِتابَ ۖ فَمِنهُم مُهتَدٍ ۖ وَكَثيرٌ مِنهُم فاسِقونَ

We sent Noah and Abraham, and We established prophethood and Scripture among their descendants. Some of them were guided, yet many are sinners.
