Verse 31

يا بَني آدَمَ خُذوا زينَتَكُم عِندَ كُلِّ مَسجِدٍ وَكُلوا وَاشرَبوا وَلا تُسرِفوا ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ المُسرِفينَ

O Children of Adam, take your adornment at every place of prayer. Eat and drink, but don’t commit excesses, for He doesn’t like the extravagant.

Verse 32

قُل مَن حَرَّمَ زينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتي أَخرَجَ لِعِبادِهِ وَالطَّيِّباتِ مِنَ الرِّزقِ ۚ قُل هِيَ لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا خالِصَةً يَومَ القِيامَةِ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ

Say, “Who prohibited the beautiful things that God produced for His beings, and the wholesome sustenance?” Say, “They are for those who believe during their life in this world, exclusively for them on Resurrection Day.” Thus, We detail the verses for people who know.

Verse 33

قُل إِنَّما حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الفَواحِشَ ما ظَهَرَ مِنها وَما بَطَنَ وَالإِثمَ وَالبَغيَ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَأَن تُشرِكوا بِاللَّهِ ما لَم يُنَزِّل بِهِ سُلطانًا وَأَن تَقولوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ما لا تَعلَمونَ

Say, “My Lord forbids shameless acts, whether open or hidden, and sin, and oppression, and associating anything with God without His permission, and speaking about God without knowledge.”

Verse 34

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۖ فَإِذا جاءَ أَجَلُهُم لا يَستَأخِرونَ ساعَةً ۖ وَلا يَستَقدِمونَ

Every nation has an appointed time. When their appointed time comes, they won’t be able to delay it by a single hour. nor will they be able to advance it.

Verse 35

يا بَني آدَمَ إِمّا يَأتِيَنَّكُم رُسُلٌ مِنكُم يَقُصّونَ عَلَيكُم آياتي ۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقىٰ وَأَصلَحَ فَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ

O Children of Adam, when messengers come to you from among you, conveying My messages to you, those who adhere to righteousness and reform will have no fear, nor will they grieve.

وَالَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا وَاستَكبَروا عَنها أُولـٰئِكَ أَصحابُ النّارِ ۖ هُم فيها خالِدونَ

But those who deny Our verses and treat them with arrogance are the residents of the Fire, where they will dwell forever.

Verse 37

فَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّنِ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَو كَذَّبَ بِآياتِهِ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ يَنالُهُم نَصيبُهُم مِنَ الكِتابِ ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءَتهُم رُسُلُنا يَتَوَفَّونَهُم قالوا أَينَ ما كُنتُم تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قالوا ضَلّوا عَنّا وَشَهِدوا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم أَنَّهُم كانوا كافِرينَ

Who is more unjust than one who fabricates lies against God or denies His verses? These must have their share as decreed. Until Our messengers come to take their souls, they will ask, “Where are those you used to invoke besides God?” They will respond, “They have forsaken us.” And they will testify against themselves that they were unbelievers.

Verse 38

قالَ ادخُلوا في أُمَمٍ قَد خَلَت مِن قَبلِكُم مِنَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ فِي النّارِ ۖ كُلَّما دَخَلَت أُمَّةٌ لَعَنَت أُختَها ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذَا ادّارَكوا فيها جَميعًا قالَت أُخراهُم لِأولاهُم رَبَّنا هـٰؤُلاءِ أَضَلّونا فَآتِهِم عَذابًا ضِعفًا مِنَ النّارِ ۖ قالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعفٌ وَلـٰكِن لا تَعلَمونَ

He will say, “Enter among the communities of jinn and humans that have gone before you into the Fire.” Every time a community enters, it will curse its predecessor. Until, when they have all arrived therein, the last of them will say about the first, “Our Lord, these misled us, so give them a double punishment in the Fire.” He will say, “Each will receive a double, but you don’t know.”

Verse 39

وَقالَت أولاهُم لِأُخراهُم فَما كانَ لَكُم عَلَينا مِن فَضلٍ فَذوقُوا العَذابَ بِما كُنتُم تَكسِبونَ

The first of them will say to the last, “You have no advantage over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn.”

Verse 40

إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا وَاستَكبَروا عَنها لا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُم أَبوابُ السَّماءِ وَلا يَدخُلونَ الجَنَّةَ حَتّىٰ يَلِجَ الجَمَلُ في سَمِّ الخِياطِ ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي المُجرِمينَ

Those who denied our verses and were arrogant towards them—for them, the gates of Heaven won’t open, nor will they enter Paradise, until a camel can pass through the eye of a needle. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.

Verse 41

لَهُم مِن جَهَنَّمَ مِهادٌ وَمِن فَوقِهِم غَواشٍ ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي الظّالِمينَ

For them will be beds in Hell, and from over them will be coverings. Thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.
