وَما عَلَى الَّذينَ يَتَّقونَ مِن حِسابِهِم مِن شَيءٍ وَلـٰكِن ذِكرىٰ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَّقونَ

The righteous bear no responsibility for them, but a reminder might assist them in becoming conscious.

وَذَرِ الَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا دينَهُم لَعِبًا وَلَهوًا وَغَرَّتهُمُ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا ۚ وَذَكِّر بِهِ أَن تُبسَلَ نَفسٌ بِما كَسَبَت لَيسَ لَها مِن دونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلا شَفيعٌ وَإِن تَعدِل كُلَّ عَدلٍ لا يُؤخَذ مِنها ۗ أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ أُبسِلوا بِما كَسَبوا ۖ لَهُم شَرابٌ مِن حَميمٍ وَعَذابٌ أَليمٌ بِما كانوا يَكفُرونَ

Leave those who treat their religion as amusement and distraction, and whom the worldly life has deceived. However, remind with it, lest a soul be ruined by what it earned, it will have no protector or intercessor besides God. Even if it should offer every compensation, it won’t be accepted from it. These are the ones who are doomed by their actions. For them is a drink of boiling water and a severe punishment due to their disbelief.

قُل أَنَدعو مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَنفَعُنا وَلا يَضُرُّنا وَنُرَدُّ عَلىٰ أَعقابِنا بَعدَ إِذ هَدانَا اللَّهُ كَالَّذِي استَهوَتهُ الشَّياطينُ فِي الأَرضِ حَيرانَ لَهُ أَصحابٌ يَدعونَهُ إِلَى الهُدَى ائتِنا ۗ قُل إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الهُدىٰ ۖ وَأُمِرنا لِنُسلِمَ لِرَبِّ العالَمينَ

Say, “Should we call upon, instead of God, those who can neither benefit nor harm us, and turn backward after God has guided us? Like one whom the devils have led astray on the earth, bewildered in the wilderness, confused, while his friends call him to guidance, saying, ‘Come to us’.” Say, “God’s guidance is the guidance, and we’ve been commanded to submit to the Lord of the universes.”

وَأَن أَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَاتَّقوهُ ۚ وَهُوَ الَّذي إِلَيهِ تُحشَرونَ

“And to establish prayer and revere Him. It is to Him that you will be gathered.”

وَهُوَ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ بِالحَقِّ ۖ وَيَومَ يَقولُ كُن فَيَكونُ ۚ قَولُهُ الحَقُّ ۚ وَلَهُ المُلكُ يَومَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصّورِ ۚ عالِمُ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ ۚ وَهُوَ الحَكيمُ الخَبيرُ

It is He who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The Day He says, “Be,” it becomes. His word is the ultimate truth. His is the dominion on the Day when the trumpet is blown; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Wise, the Expert.

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُري إِبراهيمَ مَلَكوتَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَلِيَكونَ مِنَ الموقِنينَ

We showed Abraham the empire of the heavens and the earth, so that he could have certainty.

فَلَمّا جَنَّ عَلَيهِ اللَّيلُ رَأىٰ كَوكَبًا ۖ قالَ هـٰذا رَبّي ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَ قالَ لا أُحِبُّ الآفِلينَ

When the night covered him, he saw a star and said, “This is my lord.” But once it set, he said, “I don’t love things that set.”

فَلَمّا رَأَى القَمَرَ بازِغًا قالَ هـٰذا رَبّي ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَ قالَ لَئِن لَم يَهدِني رَبّي لَأَكونَنَّ مِنَ القَومِ الضّالّينَ

When he saw the moon rising, he said, “This is my lord.” But once it set, he said, “Unless my Lord guides me, I would surely be among the misguided.”

فَلَمّا رَأَى الشَّمسَ بازِغَةً قالَ هـٰذا رَبّي هـٰذا أَكبَرُ ۖ فَلَمّا أَفَلَت قالَ يا قَومِ إِنّي بَريءٌ مِمّا تُشرِكونَ

And when he saw the sun rising, he said, “This is my lord; this is greater.” But once it set, he said, “O my people, I am free from what you associate with Him.

إِنّي وَجَّهتُ وَجهِيَ لِلَّذي فَطَرَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ حَنيفًا ۖ وَما أَنا مِنَ المُشرِكينَ

I have turned my face towards the One who originated the heavens and the earth, as a monotheist, and I’m not of the polytheists.”
