وَقالوا لَو كُنّا نَسمَعُ أَو نَعقِلُ ما كُنّا في أَصحابِ السَّعيرِ
And they will say, “If only we had listened or used reason, we wouldn’t be among the inhabitants of the Fiery Blaze.”
فَاعتَرَفوا بِذَنبِهِم فَسُحقًا لِأَصحابِ السَّعيرِ
They confessed their sin. So, away with the dwellers of the Blaze.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَخشَونَ رَبَّهُم بِالغَيبِ لَهُم مَغفِرَةٌ وَأَجرٌ كَبيرٌ
For those who fear their Lord unseen, for them is forgiveness and a grand reward.
وَأَسِرّوا قَولَكُم أَوِ اجهَروا بِهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَليمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدورِ
Whether you conceal your words or declare them, He knows the secrets of the hearts.
أَلا يَعلَمُ مَن خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطيفُ الخَبيرُ
Wouldn’t He know, He who created? He is the Kind, the Expert.
هُوَ الَّذي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ ذَلولًا فَامشوا في مَناكِبِها وَكُلوا مِن رِزقِهِ ۖ وَإِلَيهِ النُّشورُ
It is He who made the earth manageable for you. So traverse its tracks and eat from His provision. To Him is the resurgence.
أَأَمِنتُم مَن فِي السَّماءِ أَن يَخسِفَ بِكُمُ الأَرضَ فَإِذا هِيَ تَمورُ
Are you certain that the One in the heavens won’t cause the earth to swallow you as it shakes?
أَم أَمِنتُم مَن فِي السَّماءِ أَن يُرسِلَ عَلَيكُم حاصِبًا ۖ فَسَتَعلَمونَ كَيفَ نَذيرِ
Are you sure that the One in the heavens won’t send upon you a violent wind? Then you will know how My warning was.
وَلَقَد كَذَّبَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم فَكَيفَ كانَ نَكيرِ
Those before them also denied. So, how was My condemnation?
أَوَلَم يَرَوا إِلَى الطَّيرِ فَوقَهُم صافّاتٍ وَيَقبِضنَ ۚ ما يُمسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا الرَّحمـٰنُ ۚ إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ بَصيرٌ
Don’t they see the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Merciful. He is watchful over all things.
أَمَّن هـٰذَا الَّذي هُوَ جُندٌ لَكُم يَنصُرُكُم مِن دونِ الرَّحمـٰنِ ۚ إِنِ الكافِرونَ إِلّا في غُرورٍ
Who could be an army to aid you, other than the Most Merciful? The unbelievers are in nothing but delusion.
