وَالَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا يَمَسُّهُمُ العَذابُ بِما كانوا يَفسُقونَ

But those who deny Our messages will suffer torment for their defiant disobedience.

قُل لا أَقولُ لَكُم عِندي خَزائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلا أَعلَمُ الغَيبَ وَلا أَقولُ لَكُم إِنّي مَلَكٌ ۖ إِن أَتَّبِعُ إِلّا ما يوحىٰ إِلَيَّ ۚ قُل هَل يَستَوِي الأَعمىٰ وَالبَصيرُ ۚ أَفَلا تَتَفَكَّرونَ

Say, “I don’t claim to hold God’s treasures or to know the unseen. I don’t claim to be an angel either. I only follow what’s revealed to me.” Say, “Can the blind and the seeing be equal? Don’t you reflect?”

وَأَنذِر بِهِ الَّذينَ يَخافونَ أَن يُحشَروا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم ۙ لَيسَ لَهُم مِن دونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلا شَفيعٌ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ

Warn with it those who fear being gathered before their Lord—they have no protector or intercessor besides Him—so that they may become righteous.

وَلا تَطرُدِ الَّذينَ يَدعونَ رَبَّهُم بِالغَداةِ وَالعَشِيِّ يُريدونَ وَجهَهُ ۖ ما عَلَيكَ مِن حِسابِهِم مِن شَيءٍ وَما مِن حِسابِكَ عَلَيهِم مِن شَيءٍ فَتَطرُدَهُم فَتَكونَ مِنَ الظّالِمينَ

Don’t dismiss those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, desiring His countenance. You are not responsible for their judgment, nor are they responsible for yours. If you dismiss them, you will be among the wrongdoers.

وَكَذٰلِكَ فَتَنّا بَعضَهُم بِبَعضٍ لِيَقولوا أَهـٰؤُلاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيهِم مِن بَينِنا ۗ أَلَيسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعلَمَ بِالشّاكِرينَ

We test some people through others, so they may ask, “Are these the ones God favored among us?” Doesn’t God know best those who are thankful?

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الآياتِ وَلِتَستَبينَ سَبيلُ المُجرِمينَ

In this way, We detail the verses, so that the way of the wicked may become fully apparent.

قُل إِنّي نُهيتُ أَن أَعبُدَ الَّذينَ تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۚ قُل لا أَتَّبِعُ أَهواءَكُم ۙ قَد ضَلَلتُ إِذًا وَما أَنا مِنَ المُهتَدينَ

Say, “I am forbidden to worship those you invoke besides God.” Say, “I won’t follow your whims, for then I would stray and not be among the guided ones.”

قُل إِنّي عَلىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِن رَبّي وَكَذَّبتُم بِهِ ۚ ما عِندي ما تَستَعجِلونَ بِهِ ۚ إِنِ الحُكمُ إِلّا لِلَّهِ ۖ يَقُصُّ الحَقَّ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيرُ الفاصِلينَ

Say, “I am reliant on clear evidence from my Lord, yet you deny it. I don’t have what you eagerly demand. Judgment rests solely with God. He states the truth, and He is the best of judges.”

قُل لَو أَنَّ عِندي ما تَستَعجِلونَ بِهِ لَقُضِيَ الأَمرُ بَيني وَبَينَكُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ أَعلَمُ بِالظّالِمينَ

Say, “If I had control over what you eagerly demand, the matter between us would’ve been settled. But God knows the wrongdoers best.

وَعِندَهُ مَفاتِحُ الغَيبِ لا يَعلَمُها إِلّا هُوَ ۚ وَيَعلَمُ ما فِي البَرِّ وَالبَحرِ ۚ وَما تَسقُطُ مِن وَرَقَةٍ إِلّا يَعلَمُها وَلا حَبَّةٍ في ظُلُماتِ الأَرضِ وَلا رَطبٍ وَلا يابِسٍ إِلّا في كِتابٍ مُبينٍ

With Him are the keys to the unseen; none knows them but He. He knows everything on land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor is there a grain in the darkness of the earth, or anything fresh or dry, but it is recorded in a clear book.
