وَإِذا جاءَتهُم آيَةٌ قالوا لَن نُؤمِنَ حَتّىٰ نُؤتىٰ مِثلَ ما أوتِيَ رُسُلُ اللَّهِ ۘ اللَّهُ أَعلَمُ حَيثُ يَجعَلُ رِسالَتَهُ ۗ سَيُصيبُ الَّذينَ أَجرَموا صَغارٌ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعَذابٌ شَديدٌ بِما كانوا يَمكُرونَ

When a verse comes to them, they say, “We won’t believe unless we receive the same revelations as God’s messengers.” God knows best where to place His message. Humiliation from God and severe punishment will afflict the criminals for their scheming.

فَمَن يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَن يَهدِيَهُ يَشرَح صَدرَهُ لِلإِسلامِ ۖ وَمَن يُرِد أَن يُضِلَّهُ يَجعَل صَدرَهُ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَأَنَّما يَصَّعَّدُ فِي السَّماءِ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يَجعَلُ اللَّهُ الرِّجسَ عَلَى الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ

Whomever God wills to guide, He expands his heart to submission. And whomever He wills to misguide, He makes his heart tight and constricted, as if he were ascending into the sky. In this way, God lays defilement on those who don’t believe.

وَهـٰذا صِراطُ رَبِّكَ مُستَقيمًا ۗ قَد فَصَّلنَا الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَذَّكَّرونَ

This is the path of your Lord, straight. We detailed the signs for those who pay heed.

لَهُم دارُ السَّلامِ عِندَ رَبِّهِم ۖ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُم بِما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

For them is the Home of Peace with their Lord, and He is their Protector as a result of their deeds.

وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم جَميعًا يا مَعشَرَ الجِنِّ قَدِ استَكثَرتُم مِنَ الإِنسِ ۖ وَقالَ أَولِياؤُهُم مِنَ الإِنسِ رَبَّنَا استَمتَعَ بَعضُنا بِبَعضٍ وَبَلَغنا أَجَلَنَا الَّذي أَجَّلتَ لَنا ۚ قالَ النّارُ مَثواكُم خالِدينَ فيها إِلّا ما شاءَ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكيمٌ عَليمٌ

On the Day when He will gather them all: “O assembly of jinn, you’ve exploited many humans.” Their human allies will say, “Our Lord, we’ve benefited from each other, but we’ve now reached the term that You’ve appointed for us.” He will say, “The Fire is your residence, where you will remain forever, except as God wills.” Your Lord is Wise and All-Knowing.

يا مَعشَرَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ أَلَم يَأتِكُم رُسُلٌ مِنكُم يَقُصّونَ عَلَيكُم آياتي وَيُنذِرونَكُم لِقاءَ يَومِكُم هـٰذا ۚ قالوا شَهِدنا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِنا ۖ وَغَرَّتهُمُ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا وَشَهِدوا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم أَنَّهُم كانوا كافِرينَ

“O community of jinn and humans, didn’t there come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?” They will respond, “We bear witness against ourselves.” The worldly life deceived them, and they will testify against themselves that they were unbelievers.

ذٰلِكَ أَن لَم يَكُن رَبُّكَ مُهلِكَ القُرىٰ بِظُلمٍ وَأَهلُها غافِلونَ

That is because your Lord would not unjustly destroy communities while their people are unaware.

وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجاتٌ مِمّا عَمِلوا ۚ وَما رَبُّكَ بِغافِلٍ عَمّا يَعمَلونَ

Every soul will be ranked according to its deeds. Your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

وَرَبُّكَ الغَنِيُّ ذُو الرَّحمَةِ ۚ إِن يَشَأ يُذهِبكُم وَيَستَخلِف مِن بَعدِكُم ما يَشاءُ كَما أَنشَأَكُم مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ قَومٍ آخَرينَ

Your Lord is the Self-Sufficient, full of mercy. If He wills, He can remove you and replace you with anyone He wills, just as He raised you from the descendants of another people.

إِنَّ ما توعَدونَ لَآتٍ ۖ وَما أَنتُم بِمُعجِزينَ

What you are promised is coming, and you can’t prevent it.
