أَلَم يَعلَموا أَنَّهُ مَن يُحادِدِ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ فَأَنَّ لَهُ نارَ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدًا فيها ۚ ذٰلِكَ الخِزيُ العَظيمُ

Don’t they know that whoever opposes God and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Hell, to remain in it eternally? That is the great humiliation.

يَحذَرُ المُنافِقونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيهِم سورَةٌ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِما في قُلوبِهِم ۚ قُلِ استَهزِئوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُخرِجٌ ما تَحذَرونَ

The hypocrites are apprehensive that a Chapter may be revealed that will inform them of what’s in their hearts. Say, “Mock on, but God will expose what you fear.”

وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم لَيَقولُنَّ إِنَّما كُنّا نَخوضُ وَنَلعَبُ ۚ قُل أَبِاللَّهِ وَآياتِهِ وَرَسولِهِ كُنتُم تَستَهزِئونَ

If you question them, they will say, “We were only conversing and playing.” Say, “Do you make a mockery of God, His revelations, and His Messenger?”

لا تَعتَذِروا قَد كَفَرتُم بَعدَ إيمانِكُم ۚ إِن نَعفُ عَن طائِفَةٍ مِنكُم نُعَذِّب طائِفَةً بِأَنَّهُم كانوا مُجرِمينَ

Make no excuses. You have disbelieved after your belief. Should we forgive some of you, we will punish others: they have been guilty sinners.

المُنافِقونَ وَالمُنافِقاتُ بَعضُهُم مِن بَعضٍ ۚ يَأمُرونَ بِالمُنكَرِ وَيَنهَونَ عَنِ المَعروفِ وَيَقبِضونَ أَيدِيَهُم ۚ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُم ۗ إِنَّ المُنافِقينَ هُمُ الفاسِقونَ

The hypocritical men and women are akin to one another. They order what is wrong, forbid what is right, and they close their hands. They forgot God, so He disregards them. The hypocrites are the sinners.

كَالَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم كانوا أَشَدَّ مِنكُم قُوَّةً وَأَكثَرَ أَموالًا وَأَولادًا فَاستَمتَعوا بِخَلاقِهِم فَاستَمتَعتُم بِخَلاقِكُم كَمَا استَمتَعَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم بِخَلاقِهِم وَخُضتُم كَالَّذي خاضوا ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ حَبِطَت أَعمالُهُم فِي الدُّنيا وَالآخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ الخاسِرونَ

They are like those before you who were stronger, wealthier, and had more offspring. They enjoyed their own benefit, and you’ve enjoyed your own benefit, and you indulged the same as they indulged. Their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter. They are the losers.

أَلَم يَأتِهِم نَبَأُ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم قَومِ نوحٍ وَعادٍ وَثَمودَ وَقَومِ إِبراهيمَ وَأَصحابِ مَديَنَ وَالمُؤتَفِكاتِ ۚ أَتَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ ۖ فَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظلِمَهُم وَلـٰكِن كانوا أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ

Didn’t they hear the stories of their predecessors—the people of Noah, Aad, Thamud, the people of Abraham, the inhabitants of Midian, and the Overturned Cities? Their messengers came to them with clear signs. God didn’t wrong them, it was themselves they wronged.

وَالمُؤمِنونَ وَالمُؤمِناتُ بَعضُهُم أَولِياءُ بَعضٍ ۚ يَأمُرونَ بِالمَعروفِ وَيَنهَونَ عَنِ المُنكَرِ وَيُقيمونَ الصَّلاةَ وَيُؤتونَ الزَّكاةَ وَيُطيعونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ سَيَرحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ حَكيمٌ

The believing men and women are allies of one another. They advocate righteousness, forbid evil, establish prayer, give in charity, and obey God and His Messenger. Those—God will have mercy on them. God is Mighty and Wise.

وَعَدَ اللَّهُ المُؤمِنينَ وَالمُؤمِناتِ جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ خالِدينَ فيها وَمَساكِنَ طَيِّبَةً في جَنّاتِ عَدنٍ ۚ وَرِضوانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَكبَرُ ۚ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الفَوزُ العَظيمُ

God promised the believing men and women gardens through which rivers flow, where they will abide forever, and beautiful mansions in the Gardens of Eternity. But the greatest of all is God’s approval. This is the ultimate triumph.

يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ جاهِدِ الكُفّارَ وَالمُنافِقينَ وَاغلُظ عَلَيهِم ۚ وَمَأواهُم جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئسَ المَصيرُ

O Prophet, strive against the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and be harsh with them. Their ultimate abode is Hell—a terrible destination.
