يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا لا تَخونُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسولَ وَتَخونوا أَماناتِكُم وَأَنتُم تَعلَمونَ
O you who believe, don’t betray God and the Messenger, nor betray your trusts while you know.
وَاعلَموا أَنَّما أَموالُكُم وَأَولادُكُم فِتنَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ أَجرٌ عَظيمٌ
Know that your possessions and your children are a test, and that with God, there is a great reward.
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذينَ آمَنوا إِن تَتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَجعَل لَكُم فُرقانًا وَيُكَفِّر عَنكُم سَيِّئَاتِكُم وَيَغفِر لَكُم ۗ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الفَضلِ العَظيمِ
O you who believe, if you fear God, He will grant you discernment, purify you of your sins, and forgive you. God is of abundant bounty.
وَإِذ يَمكُرُ بِكَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِيُثبِتوكَ أَو يَقتُلوكَ أَو يُخرِجوكَ ۚ وَيَمكُرونَ وَيَمكُرُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَاللَّهُ خَيرُ الماكِرينَ
Remember when those who disbelieve planned against you, to capture, to kill, or to expel you. They planned, and God planned; but God is the best of planners.
وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا قالوا قَد سَمِعنا لَو نَشاءُ لَقُلنا مِثلَ هـٰذا ۙ إِن هـٰذا إِلّا أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ
When Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “We’ve heard. If we wanted, we could say the same; these are nothing but myths of the ancients.”
وَإِذ قالُوا اللَّهُمَّ إِن كانَ هـٰذا هُوَ الحَقَّ مِن عِندِكَ فَأَمطِر عَلَينا حِجارَةً مِنَ السَّماءِ أَوِ ائتِنا بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ
They also say, “O God, if this is the truth from You, then rain down stones from the sky upon us, or inflict upon us a harsh punishment.”
وَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُم وَأَنتَ فيهِم ۚ وَما كانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُم وَهُم يَستَغفِرونَ
God would not punish them while you are among them, nor would God punish them while they are seeking forgiveness.
وَما لَهُم أَلّا يُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَهُم يَصُدّونَ عَنِ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ وَما كانوا أَولِياءَهُ ۚ إِن أَولِياؤُهُ إِلَّا المُتَّقونَ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ
Why should God not punish them, when they block access to the Sacred Mosque, even though they weren’t its rightful guardians? Its true guardians are the pious, but most don’t know.
وَما كانَ صَلاتُهُم عِندَ البَيتِ إِلّا مُكاءً وَتَصدِيَةً ۚ فَذوقُوا العَذابَ بِما كُنتُم تَكفُرونَ
Their prayers at the House are nothing more than whistling and clapping. So, taste the punishment for having disbelieved.
إِنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يُنفِقونَ أَموالَهُم لِيَصُدّوا عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَسَيُنفِقونَها ثُمَّ تَكونُ عَلَيهِم حَسرَةً ثُمَّ يُغلَبونَ ۗ وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا إِلىٰ جَهَنَّمَ يُحشَرونَ
Those who disbelieve squander their wealth to deter people from God’s path. They will continue to spend it, then it will become a source of regret for them. Eventually, they will be defeated, and the unbelievers will be gathered in Hell.
لِيَميزَ اللَّهُ الخَبيثَ مِنَ الطَّيِّبِ وَيَجعَلَ الخَبيثَ بَعضَهُ عَلىٰ بَعضٍ فَيَركُمَهُ جَميعًا فَيَجعَلَهُ في جَهَنَّمَ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الخاسِرونَ
In order that God may distinguish the wicked from the good, stack the wicked upon each other, bundle them together, and cast them into Hell. These are the losers.
