Verse 50

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.”

Verse 51

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.

Verse 52

وَلَقَد جِئناهُم بِكِتابٍ فَصَّلناهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ هُدًى وَرَحمَةً لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

We provided them with a Scripture which We detailed with knowledge, a guide and mercy for those who believe.

Verse 53

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.

Verse 54

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.

Verse 56

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.

Verse 57

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.

Verse 58

وَالبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخرُجُ نَباتُهُ بِإِذنِ رَبِّهِ ۖ وَالَّذي خَبُثَ لا يَخرُجُ إِلّا نَكِدًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَشكُرونَ

Fertile land yields its produce by its Lord’s permission, while infertile land produces but little. Thus, We diversify the signs for those who are grateful.

Verse 59

لَقَد أَرسَلنا نوحًا إِلىٰ قَومِهِ فَقالَ يا قَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلـٰهٍ غَيرُهُ إِنّي أَخافُ عَلَيكُم عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ

We sent Noah to his people, and he said, “O my people, worship God. You have no deity other than Him. I fear for you the punishment of a great day.”

Verse 60

قالَ المَلَأُ مِن قَومِهِ إِنّا لَنَراكَ في ضَلالٍ مُبينٍ

The chiefs of his people said, “We see you in manifest error.”
