وَإِذا صُرِفَت أَبصارُهُم تِلقاءَ أَصحابِ النّارِ قالوا رَبَّنا لا تَجعَلنا مَعَ القَومِ الظّالِمينَ

And when their gaze is directed towards the dwellers of the Fire, they will say, “Our Lord, don’t place us with the wrongdoers.”

وَنادىٰ أَصحابُ الأَعرافِ رِجالًا يَعرِفونَهُم بِسيماهُم قالوا ما أَغنىٰ عَنكُم جَمعُكُم وَما كُنتُم تَستَكبِرونَ

The people on the Heights will call out to men they recognize by their features, saying, “Your hoardings availed you nothing, nor did your arrogance.

أَهـٰؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ أَقسَمتُم لا يَنالُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرَحمَةٍ ۚ ادخُلُوا الجَنَّةَ لا خَوفٌ عَلَيكُم وَلا أَنتُم تَحزَنونَ

Are these the ones you swore God would never touch with mercy?” “Enter Paradise; there is no fear for you, nor will you grieve.”

وَنادىٰ أَصحابُ النّارِ أَصحابَ الجَنَّةِ أَن أَفيضوا عَلَينا مِنَ الماءِ أَو مِمّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ قالوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَهُما عَلَى الكافِرينَ

The dwellers of the Fire will plead with the dwellers of Paradise, “Pour some water over us, or with some of what God has provided you with.” They will reply, “God prohibited them to the unbelievers.”

الَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا دينَهُم لَهوًا وَلَعِبًا وَغَرَّتهُمُ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا ۚ فَاليَومَ نَنساهُم كَما نَسوا لِقاءَ يَومِهِم هـٰذا وَما كانوا بِآياتِنا يَجحَدونَ

Those who treated their religion as a pastime and amusement, and whom the worldly life deceived. Today, We will neglect them, as they neglected the meeting of this Day and denied Our signs.

هَل يَنظُرونَ إِلّا تَأويلَهُ ۚ يَومَ يَأتي تَأويلُهُ يَقولُ الَّذينَ نَسوهُ مِن قَبلُ قَد جاءَت رُسُلُ رَبِّنا بِالحَقِّ فَهَل لَنا مِن شُفَعاءَ فَيَشفَعوا لَنا أَو نُرَدُّ فَنَعمَلَ غَيرَ الَّذي كُنّا نَعمَلُ ۚ قَد خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم وَضَلَّ عَنهُم ما كانوا يَفتَرونَ

Are they merely waiting for its interpretation? The day its interpretation comes, those who had previously ignored it will say, “Indeed, the messengers of our Lord came with the truth. Do we have any intercessors who will intercede for us now? Or could we be sent back to behave differently?” They have lost their souls, and what they used to invent has failed them.

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ في سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ ثُمَّ استَوىٰ عَلَى العَرشِ يُغشِي اللَّيلَ النَّهارَ يَطلُبُهُ حَثيثًا وَالشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ وَالنُّجومَ مُسَخَّراتٍ بِأَمرِهِ ۗ أَلا لَهُ الخَلقُ وَالأَمرُ ۗ تَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ العالَمينَ

Your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, then He positioned Himself on the throne. He makes the night cover the day, which is in rapid pursuit of it. He made the sun, the moon, and the stars subservient; all are obedient to His command. Blessed is God, the Lord of all realms.

ادعوا رَبَّكُم تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ المُعتَدينَ

Call upon your Lord humbly and privately. He doesn’t love the transgressors.

وَلا تُفسِدوا فِي الأَرضِ بَعدَ إِصلاحِها وَادعوهُ خَوفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحمَتَ اللَّهِ قَريبٌ مِنَ المُحسِنينَ

Don’t cause corruption on earth after its reformation. And call upon Him in fear and aspiration. The mercy of God is close to those who do good.

وَهُوَ الَّذي يُرسِلُ الرِّياحَ بُشرًا بَينَ يَدَي رَحمَتِهِ ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا أَقَلَّت سَحابًا ثِقالًا سُقناهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلنا بِهِ الماءَ فَأَخرَجنا بِهِ مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَراتِ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نُخرِجُ المَوتىٰ لَعَلَّكُم تَذَكَّرونَ

It is He who sends the winds, heralding His mercy. When they carry heavy clouds, We drive them to a lifeless land, and then We release the rain, producing all kinds of fruits. Thus We will bring out the dead; perhaps you will reflect.
