41. Fussilat

41:47

اِلَیْهِ یُرَدُّ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ ؕ وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرٰتٍ مِّنْ اَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُ وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِهٖ ؕ وَیَوْمَ یُنَادِیْهِمْ اَیْنَ شُرَكَآءِیْ ۙ قَالُوْۤا اٰذَنّٰكَ ۙ مَا مِنَّا مِنْ شَهِیْدٍ

To Him alone the knowledge of the Hour (the exact time of Doomsday) is to be referred. No fruits come out of their sheaths, nor does a female conceive a baby, nor does she deliver it, but with His knowledge. And (remember) the Day when He will call them: “Where are My partners?” They will say, “We declare to you that no one of us is to testify (that you have partners).”
41:48

وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَظَنُّوْا مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّحِیْصٍ

And whatever they used to invoke earlier will vanish from them, and they will realize that they have no way to escape.
41:49

لَا یَسْـَٔمُ الْاِنْسَانُ مِنْ دُعَآءِ الْخَیْرِ ؗ وَاِنْ مَّسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَیَـُٔوْسٌ قَنُوْطٌ

Man does not get weary of craving for (all sorts of ) good things; and if he is touched by some evil, he is disappointed, devoid of any hope.
41:50

وَلَىِٕنْ اَذَقْنٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَیَقُوْلَنَّ هٰذَا لِیْ ۙ وَمَاۤ اَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَآىِٕمَةً ۙ وَّلَىِٕنْ رُّجِعْتُ اِلٰی رَبِّیْۤ اِنَّ لِیْ عِنْدَهٗ لَلْحُسْنٰی ۚ فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِمَا عَمِلُوْا ؗ وَلَنُذِیْقَنَّهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ غَلِیْظٍ

And if We give him a taste of some mercy from Us after some hardship that has touched him, he will surely say, “This is my right. And I do not think the Hour (the Day of Judgment) is going to occur. And even if I am brought back to my Lord, I will surely have the best (life) with Him (too).”So, We will let the disbelievers know what they did, and let them taste a stern punishment.
41:51

وَاِذَاۤ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَی الْاِنْسَانِ اَعْرَضَ وَنَاٰ بِجَانِبِهٖ ۚ وَاِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ فَذُوْ دُعَآءٍ عَرِیْضٍ

When We bestow Our favor upon man, he avoids (to appreciate it) and keeps himself far aside (from obedience), and when some evil touches him, he is full of lengthy prayers.
41:52

قُلْ اَرَءَیْتُمْ اِنْ كَانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ كَفَرْتُمْ بِهٖ مَنْ اَضَلُّ مِمَّنْ هُوَ فِیْ شِقَاقٍ بَعِیْدٍ

Say (to the disbelievers), “Tell me, if it (the Qur’ān) is from Allah, and still you reject it, then who can be more erroneous than him who is (involved) in far reaching schism?”
41:53

سَنُرِیْهِمْ اٰیٰتِنَا فِی الْاٰفَاقِ وَفِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتّٰی یَتَبَیَّنَ لَهُمْ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ ؕ اَوَلَمْ یَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ اَنَّهٗ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ شَهِیْدٌ

We will show them Our signs in the universe and within their own beings until it will become manifest to them that it is the truth. Is it not enough about your Lord that He is witness to everything?
41:54

اَلَاۤ اِنَّهُمْ فِیْ مِرْیَةٍ مِّنْ لِّقَآءِ رَبِّهِمْ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّهٗ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ مُّحِیْطٌ

Beware, they are in doubt about meeting their Lord. Beware, He is the One who encompasses everything.

42:3

كَذٰلِكَ یُوْحِیْۤ اِلَیْكَ وَاِلَی الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ ۙ اللّٰهُ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ

This is how Allah, the Mighty, the Wise, sends revelation to you and to those who were before you.
42:4

لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ وَهُوَ الْعَلِیُّ الْعَظِیْمُ

To him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, and He is the High, the Supreme.
42:5

تَكَادُ السَّمٰوٰتُ یَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِنَّ وَالْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ یُسَبِّحُوْنَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَیَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ لِمَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِیْمُ

The heavens almost burst apart from their above side, and angels proclaim the purity and praise of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness of those on the earth. Be aware that Allah is the Most-Forgiving, the Very-Merciful.
42:6

وَالَّذِیْنَ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ اللّٰهُ حَفِیْظٌ عَلَیْهِمْ ۖؗ وَمَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِوَكِیْلٍ

And those who have adopted patrons instead of Him, Allah is on watch against them, and you are not responsible for them.
42:7

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لِّتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰی وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنْذِرَ یَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهِ ؕ فَرِیْقٌ فِی الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِیْقٌ فِی السَّعِیْرِ

And thus We have revealed to you an Arabic Qur’ān, so that you may warn the mother town, and those around it, and warn (them) of the Day of Gathering, about which there is no doubt-(when) one group of people will be in Paradise, and another group in blazing Fire.
42:8

وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلٰكِنْ یُّدْخِلُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ فِیْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ؕ وَالظّٰلِمُوْنَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا نَصِیْرٍ

Had Allah willed, He would have made all of them a single group; but He admits whomsoever He wills into His mercy. As for the wrongdoers, they have neither a patron nor a helper.
42:9

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ ۚ فَاللّٰهُ هُوَ الْوَلِیُّ وَهُوَ یُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰی ؗ وَهُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ

Is it that they have adopted patrons instead of Him? So, it is Allah who is the Patron, and He gives life to the dead, and He is Powerful to do every thing.
42:10

وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِیْهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ فَحُكْمُهٗۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبِّیْ عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖۗ وَاِلَیْهِ اُنِیْبُ

And (Say O prophet to your opponents,) “Whatever dispute you have in any matter, its judgment lies with Allah. That One is Allah, the Lord of mine; in Him alone I have placed my trust, and to Him alone I turn (in every matter).”
42:11

فَاطِرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّمِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ اَزْوَاجًا ۚ یَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِیْهِ ؕ لَیْسَ كَمِثْلِهٖ شَیْءٌ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْبَصِیْرُ

He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs from the cattle. He makes you expand in this way. Nothing is like Him. And He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
42:12

لَهٗ مَقَالِیْدُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۚ یَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیَقْدِرُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He extends provision for whomsoever He wills, and straitens (it for whomsoever He wills). Surely He is All-Knowing in respect of every thing.
42:13

شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الدِّیْنِ مَا وَصّٰی بِهٖ نُوْحًا وَّالَّذِیْۤ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ وَمَا وَصَّیْنَا بِهٖۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَمُوْسٰی وَعِیْسٰۤی اَنْ اَقِیْمُوا الدِّیْنَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوْا فِیْهِ ؕ كَبُرَ عَلَی الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ مَا تَدْعُوْهُمْ اِلَیْهِ ؕ اَللّٰهُ یَجْتَبِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَیَهْدِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ مَنْ یُّنِیْبُ

He has ordained for you people the same religion as He had enjoined upon NūH, and that which We have revealed to you (O prophet,) and that which We had enjoined upon Ibrāhīm and Mūsā and ‘Īsā by saying, “Establish the religion, and be not divided therein.” Arduous for the mushriks (polytheists) is that to which you are inviting them. Allah chooses (and pulls) toward Himself anyone He wills, and guides to Himself anyone who turns to Him (to seek guidance).
42:14

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوْۤا اِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ بَغْیًا بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی لَّقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَاِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لَفِیْ شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِیْبٍ

And they were not divided, in jealousy with each other, but after the knowledge had come to them. Had it not been for a word that had come forth earlier from your Lord (and was effective) until a specified time, the matter would have been decided between them. And those who were made to inherit the Book after them are in confounding doubt about it.
42:15

فَلِذٰلِكَ فَادْعُ ۚ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَاۤ اُمِرْتَ ۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۚ وَقُلْ اٰمَنْتُ بِمَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ كِتٰبٍ ۚ وَاُمِرْتُ لِاَعْدِلَ بَیْنَكُمْ ؕ اَللّٰهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ ؕ لَنَاۤ اَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ اَعْمَالُكُمْ ؕ لَا حُجَّةَ بَیْنَنَا وَبَیْنَكُمْ ؕ اَللّٰهُ یَجْمَعُ بَیْنَنَا ۚ وَاِلَیْهِ الْمَصِیْرُ

So, (O prophet,) towards that (faith) invite (people), and be steadfast as you are commanded, and do not follow their desires, and say, “I believe in whatever book Allah has sent down. And I have been ordered to do justice among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds, and for you, your deeds. There is no argumentation between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is the final return.”
42:16

وَالَّذِیْنَ یُحَآجُّوْنَ فِی اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا اسْتُجِیْبَ لَهٗ حُجَّتُهُمْ دَاحِضَةٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَلَیْهِمْ غَضَبٌ وَّلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِیْدٌ

Those who argue about Allah after He has been responded to, their argument is void in the sight of their Lord, and upon them is wrath, and for them is a severe punishment.
42:17

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْۤ اَنْزَلَ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ وَالْمِیْزَانَ ؕ وَمَا یُدْرِیْكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِیْبٌ

Allah is the One who has sent down the Book with truth, and the Balance as well. And what can let you know? May be, the Hour (the Day of Judgment) is near.
42:18

یَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهَا ۚ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مُشْفِقُوْنَ مِنْهَا ۙ وَیَعْلَمُوْنَ اَنَّهَا الْحَقُّ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ یُمَارُوْنَ فِی السَّاعَةِ لَفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ بَعِیْدٍ

Those who do not believe in it demand that it should come soon, and those who believe are fearful of it, and they know for sure that it is the truth. Be aware that those who dispute concerning the Hour are wandering afar from the right path.
42:19

اَللّٰهُ لَطِیْفٌ بِعِبَادِهٖ یَرْزُقُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ۚ وَهُوَ الْقَوِیُّ الْعَزِیْزُ

Allah is kind to His servants. He gives provision to whom He wills, and He is the Strong, the Mighty.
42:20

مَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ حَرْثَ الْاٰخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهٗ فِیْ حَرْثِهٖ ۚ وَمَنْ كَانَ یُرِیْدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْیَا نُؤْتِهٖ مِنْهَا ۙ وَمَا لَهٗ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ مِنْ نَّصِیْبٍ

Whoever intends (to have) the harvest of the Hereafter, We will increase in his harvest; and whoever intends (to have) the harvest of the world (only), We will give him thereof, while in the Hereafter he will have no share.
42:21

اَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكٰٓؤُا شَرَعُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنَ الدِّیْنِ مَا لَمْ یَاْذَنْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ

Is it that they have associate-gods who have prescribed for them a religion that is not sanctioned by Allah? Had it not been for a decisive word, the matter would have been decided between them (here in this world). And of course, for the wrongdoers there is a painful punishment (in the Hereafter).
42:22

تَرَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ مُشْفِقِیْنَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوْا وَهُوَ وَاقِعٌ بِهِمْ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِیْ رَوْضٰتِ الْجَنّٰتِ ۚ لَهُمْ مَّا یَشَآءُوْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِیْرُ

You will see the wrongdoers fearful of what they earned, and it is sure to befall them. As for those who believed and did righteous deeds, they will be in meadows of the Gardens. For them there is, with their Lord, whatever they wish. That is the great bounty.
42:23

ذٰلِكَ الَّذِیْ یُبَشِّرُ اللّٰهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ؕ قُلْ لَّاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا اِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِی الْقُرْبٰی ؕ وَمَنْ یَّقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهٗ فِیْهَا حُسْنًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ شَكُوْرٌ

That is the good news that Allah gives to His servants who believed and did righteous deeds. Say, “I do not ask you any fee for it, except the love of kinship.” And whoever performs a good act, We will increase for him goodness therein. Surely Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Appreciative.
42:24

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا ۚ فَاِنْ یَّشَاِ اللّٰهُ یَخْتِمْ عَلٰی قَلْبِكَ ؕ وَیَمْحُ اللّٰهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَیُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ

Is it that they say, “He has forged a lie against Allah”? So, if Allah wills, He may put a seal on your heart. And Allah blots out falsehood and establishes truth with His words. Surely, He is fully aware of what lies in the hearts.
42:25

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ یَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَیَعْفُوْا عَنِ السَّیِّاٰتِ وَیَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُوْنَ

And He is the One who accepts repentance from His servants and forgives evil deeds and knows whatever you do.
42:26

وَیَسْتَجِیْبُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَیَزِیْدُهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ ؕ وَالْكٰفِرُوْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِیْدٌ

And He responds to (the prayer of) those who believe and do righteous deeds, and gives them more out of His grace. As for the disbelievers, for them there is a severe punishment.
42:27

وَلَوْ بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهٖ لَبَغَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَلٰكِنْ یُّنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا یَشَآءُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِیْرٌ بَصِیْرٌ

Should Allah expand the provision for His servants (to its full extent), they would spread mischief on earth; but He sends down what He wills in (due) measure. Surely, with regard to His slaves, He is All-Aware, Ever-Watchful.
42:28

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ یُنَزِّلُ الْغَیْثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوْا وَیَنْشُرُ رَحْمَتَهٗ ؕ وَهُوَ الْوَلِیُّ الْحَمِیْدُ

And He is the One who sends down rain after they have lost hope, and He extends His mercy. And He is the Guardian, Worthy of all praise.
42:29

وَمِنْ اٰیٰتِهٖ خَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِیْهِمَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ ؕ وَهُوَ عَلٰی جَمْعِهِمْ اِذَا یَشَآءُ قَدِیْرٌ

Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the creatures He has spread in them. He is Powerful to assemble them whenever He so wills.
42:30

وَمَاۤ اَصَابَكُمْ مِّنْ مُّصِیْبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَیْدِیْكُمْ وَیَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِیْرٍ

Whatever hardship befalls you is because of what your own hands have committed, while He overlooks many (of your faults).
42:31

وَمَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ۖۚ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا نَصِیْرٍ

You are not able to frustrate (Him) in the earth. And, besides Allah, you have neither someone to protect, nor someone to help.
42:32

وَمِنْ اٰیٰتِهِ الْجَوَارِ فِی الْبَحْرِ كَالْاَعْلَامِ

And among His signs are ships in the sea, like mountains.
42:33

اِنْ یَّشَاْ یُسْكِنِ الرِّیْحَ فَیَظْلَلْنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلٰی ظَهْرِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُوْرٍ

If He so wills, He may stop the wind, and they stand still on its surface. Surely in this, there are signs for everyone who is ever patient, fully grateful.
42:34

اَوْ یُوْبِقْهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا وَیَعْفُ عَنْ كَثِیْرٍ

Or He may destroy them because of what they earned, and may overlook many (whom He may save at least in this world),
42:35

وَّیَعْلَمَ الَّذِیْنَ یُجَادِلُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِنَا ؕ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّحِیْصٍ

and (in such an event) those who raise disputes in Our verses will come to know that there is no way for them to escape.
42:36

فَمَاۤ اُوْتِیْتُمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ۚ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌ وَّاَبْقٰی لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ یَتَوَكَّلُوْنَ

So, whatever thing has been given to you is an enjoyment of the worldly life. And that which is with Allah is much better, and much more durable for those who believe and place their trust in Allah,
42:37

وَالَّذِیْنَ یَجْتَنِبُوْنَ كَبٰٓىِٕرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَاِذَا مَا غَضِبُوْا هُمْ یَغْفِرُوْنَ

and (for) those who abstain from the major sins and from shameful acts; and (for those who) when they get angry, they forgive,
42:38

وَالَّذِیْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ ۪ وَاَمْرُهُمْ شُوْرٰی بَیْنَهُمْ ۪ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ

and those who have responded to their Lord (in submission to Him), and have established Salāh, and whose affairs are (settled) with mutual consultation between them, and who spend out of what We have given to them,
42:39

وَالَّذِیْنَ اِذَاۤ اَصَابَهُمُ الْبَغْیُ هُمْ یَنْتَصِرُوْنَ

and those who, when they are subjected to aggression, defend themselves.
42:40

وَجَزٰٓؤُا سَیِّئَةٍ سَیِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا ۚ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَاَصْلَحَ فَاَجْرُهٗ عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا یُحِبُّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

The recompense of evil is evil like it. Then the one who forgives and opts for compromise has his reward undertaken by Allah. Surely, He does not like the unjust.
42:41

وَلَمَنِ انْتَصَرَ بَعْدَ ظُلْمِهٖ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ مَا عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ سَبِیْلٍ

The one who defends himself after having been wronged, there is no blame on such people.
42:42

اِنَّمَا السَّبِیْلُ عَلَی الَّذِیْنَ یَظْلِمُوْنَ النَّاسَ وَیَبْغُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ بِغَیْرِ الْحَقِّ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ

Blame, in fact, is upon those who wrong people and make mischief on earth unjustly. For such people there is a painful punishment.
42:43

وَلَمَنْ صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْاُمُوْرِ

And if one observes patience and forgives, it is, of course, one of the courageous conducts.
42:44

وَمَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ مِّنْ بَعْدِهٖ ؕ وَتَرَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَمَّا رَاَوُا الْعَذَابَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ هَلْ اِلٰی مَرَدٍّ مِّنْ سَبِیْلٍ

The one whom Allah lets go astray, there is no one for him to protect thereafter. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they will see the punishment, that they will say, “Is there any way to be sent back (to the world)? ”
42:45

وَتَرٰىهُمْ یُعْرَضُوْنَ عَلَیْهَا خٰشِعِیْنَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ یَنْظُرُوْنَ مِنْ طَرْفٍ خَفِیٍّ ؕ وَقَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنَّ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ الَّذِیْنَ خَسِرُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ وَاَهْلِیْهِمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ فِیْ عَذَابٍ مُّقِیْمٍ

And you will see them that they will be presented to it (the Fire), downcast because of humiliation, looking with stealthy glance. And those who believe will say, “The real losers are those who have lost their own selves and their families on the Day of Judgment.” Be aware that the wrongdoers are in lasting punishment.
42:46

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِّنْ اَوْلِیَآءَ یَنْصُرُوْنَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ سَبِیْلٍ

And for them there will not be any friends who may help them besides Allah. And the one whom Allah lets go astray, for him there is no way (to save himself).
42:47

اِسْتَجِیْبُوْا لِرَبِّكُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَ یَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهٗ مِنَ اللّٰهِ ؕ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ مَّلْجَاٍ یَّوْمَىِٕذٍ وَّمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّكِیْرٍ

Respond to your Lord before there comes a day for which there will be no reversal from Allah’s side. For you there will be neither a refuge that day, nor an opportunity to question (Allah about your fate).
42:48

فَاِنْ اَعْرَضُوْا فَمَاۤ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ عَلَیْهِمْ حَفِیْظًا ؕ اِنْ عَلَیْكَ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ ؕ وَاِنَّاۤ اِذَاۤ اَذَقْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً فَرِحَ بِهَا ۚ وَاِنْ تُصِبْهُمْ سَیِّئَةٌ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَیْدِیْهِمْ فَاِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ كَفُوْرٌ

So, if they turn away, then We did not send you (O Prophet,) as a supervisor over them. You are not responsible but for conveying the message. And when We make man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices with it, and if an evil befalls him because of what their hands sent ahead, then man becomes ungrateful.
42:49

لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ یَخْلُقُ مَا یَشَآءُ ؕ یَهَبُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ اِنَاثًا وَّیَهَبُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ الذُّكُوْرَ

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He grants females to whom He wills, and grants males to whom He wills.
42:50

اَوْ یُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَّاِنَاثًا ۚ وَیَجْعَلُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ عَقِیْمًا ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌ قَدِیْرٌ

Or He combines for them couples, both males and females, and makes whom He wills barren. Surely, He is All-Knowing, Very-Powerful.
42:51

وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ اَنْ یُّكَلِّمَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا وَحْیًا اَوْ مِنْ وَّرَآئِ حِجَابٍ اَوْ یُرْسِلَ رَسُوْلًا فَیُوْحِیَ بِاِذْنِهٖ مَا یَشَآءُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیٌّ حَكِیْمٌ

It is not (possible) for a human being that Allah speaks to him, except by way of revelation, or from behind a curtain, or that He sends a messenger, and he reveals, with His permission, what He wills. Surely, He is All-High, All-Wise.
42:52

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ رُوْحًا مِّنْ اَمْرِنَا ؕ مَا كُنْتَ تَدْرِیْ مَا الْكِتٰبُ وَلَا الْاِیْمَانُ وَلٰكِنْ جَعَلْنٰهُ نُوْرًا نَّهْدِیْ بِهٖ مَنْ نَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ؕ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِیْۤ اِلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ

In similar way, We have revealed to you a Spirit from Our command. You did not know earlier what was the Book or what was Īmān (true faith), but We have made it (the Qur’ān) a light with which We guide whomsoever We will from among Our servants. And indeed you are guiding (people) to a straight path,
42:53

صِرَاطِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِیْ لَهٗ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ اَلَاۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ تَصِیْرُ الْاُمُوْرُ

the path of Allah, the One to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Be aware that towards Allah all matters shall finally return.

43. Az-Zukhruf

43:1

حٰمٓ

Hā Mīm.
43:2

وَالْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِیْنِ

By the manifest Book,
43:3

اِنَّا جَعَلْنٰهُ قُرْءٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ

We have made it an Arabic Qur’ān, so that you may understand.
43:4

وَاِنَّهٗ فِیْۤ اُمِّ الْكِتٰبِ لَدَیْنَا لَعَلِیٌّ حَكِیْمٌ

And it is, in the Mother of the Book (the Preserved Tablet) with us, surely sublime, full of wisdom.
43:5

اَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنْكُمُ الذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا اَنْ كُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِیْنَ

Shall We then take the advice away from you because you are a transgressing people?
43:6

وَكَمْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ نَّبِیٍّ فِی الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

How many a messenger We have sent to the earlier people!
43:7

وَمَا یَاْتِیْهِمْ مِّنْ نَّبِیٍّ اِلَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

No messenger came to them, but they used to mock at him.
43:8

فَاَهْلَكْنَاۤ اَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ بَطْشًا وَّمَضٰی مَثَلُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ

So We have destroyed those who were stronger than these (people of Makkah) in power, and the example of the earlier people has already passed.
43:9

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ لَیَقُوْلُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ الْعَزِیْزُ الْعَلِیْمُ

Should you ask them as to who has created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say, “They are created by the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing,”
43:10

الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَّجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُوْنَ

the One who has made the earth a cradle for you, and has made for you pathways therein, so that you may be guided,
43:11

وَالَّذِیْ نَزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً بِقَدَرٍ ۚ فَاَنْشَرْنَا بِهٖ بَلْدَةً مَّیْتًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُوْنَ

and the One who has sent down water from the sky in due measure. Then We have revived with it a dead town. In the same way, you will be brought forth (alive from the graves),
43:12

وَالَّذِیْ خَلَقَ الْاَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْاَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُوْنَ

and the One who has created all the pairs, and has made for you the boats and the cattle that you ride,
43:13

لِتَسْتَوٗا عَلٰی ظُهُوْرِهٖ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ اِذَا اسْتَوَیْتُمْ عَلَیْهِ وَتَقُوْلُوْا سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْ سَخَّرَ لَنَا هٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهٗ مُقْرِنِیْنَ

so that you may mount upon their back, then recall the favour of your Lord after having mounted upon it and say, “Pure is the One who has subjugated this for us, and We were not able to have control over it,
43:14

وَاِنَّاۤ اِلٰی رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُوْنَ

and of course, towards our Lord we have to return.”
43:15

وَجَعَلُوْا لَهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِهٖ جُزْءًا ؕ اِنَّ الْاِنْسَانَ لَكَفُوْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

They have attributed to Him (that He is composed of) parts, (and that too) out of His servants. Surely, man is clearly ungrateful.
43:16

اَمِ اتَّخَذَ مِمَّا یَخْلُقُ بَنٰتٍ وَّاَصْفٰىكُمْ بِالْبَنِیْنَ

Is it that He has adopted daughters from those whom He has created, and chosen you for (having) sons?
43:17

وَاِذَا بُشِّرَ اَحَدُهُمْ بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهٗ مُسْوَدًّا وَّهُوَ كَظِیْمٌ

When one of them is given the good news of (the birth of) that which he has attributed to RaHmān (i.e. the daughters), his face turns black, and he becomes choked with sorrow.
43:18

اَوَمَنْ یُّنَشَّؤُا فِی الْحِلْیَةِ وَهُوَ فِی الْخِصَامِ غَیْرُ مُبِیْنٍ

Is it that (Allah has chosen) those (as His offspring) who are grown up in ornaments and who cannot express themselves in debate clearly?
43:19

وَجَعَلُوا الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ عِبٰدُ الرَّحْمٰنِ اِنَاثًا ؕ اَشَهِدُوْا خَلْقَهُمْ ؕ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ وَیُسْـَٔلُوْنَ

They have held angels, who are the servants of RaHmān, as females. Have they witnessed their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.
43:20

وَقَالُوْا لَوْ شَآءَ الرَّحْمٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنٰهُمْ ؕ مَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۗ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَخْرُصُوْنَ

They say, “Had the RaHmān so willed, we would not have worshipped them.” They have no knowledge of that. They do nothing but make conjectures.
43:21

اَمْ اٰتَیْنٰهُمْ كِتٰبًا مِّنْ قَبْلِهٖ فَهُمْ بِهٖ مُسْتَمْسِكُوْنَ

Or have We given to them a book before this, and they are adhering to it?
43:22

بَلْ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا وَجَدْنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا عَلٰۤی اُمَّةٍ وَّاِنَّا عَلٰۤی اٰثٰرِهِمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ

Instead, they say, “We have found our fathers on a certain way, and we are on their footprints, fully guided.”
43:23

وَكَذٰلِكَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ فِیْ قَرْیَةٍ مِّنْ نَّذِیْرٍ اِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوْهَاۤ ۙ اِنَّا وَجَدْنَاۤ اٰبَآءَنَا عَلٰۤی اُمَّةٍ وَّاِنَّا عَلٰۤی اٰثٰرِهِمْ مُّقْتَدُوْنَ

Similarly, We did not send a warner to a town before you, but its affluent people said, “We have found our fathers on a certain way, and we are following their footprints.”
43:24

قٰلَ اَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِاَهْدٰی مِمَّا وَجَدْتُّمْ عَلَیْهِ اٰبَآءَكُمْ ؕ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّا بِمَاۤ اُرْسِلْتُمْ بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ

He said, “Even if I bring to you something better in guidance than that on which you have found your fathers?” They said, “We totally disbelieve in what you are sent with.”
43:25

فَانْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِیْنَ

So, We took revenge from them. Now look, how was the end of those who rejected (Our messengers).
43:26

وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهِیْمُ لِاَبِیْهِ وَقَوْمِهٖۤ اِنَّنِیْ بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُوْنَ

(Recall) when Ibrāhīm said to his father and to his people, “I disown that which you worship,
43:27

اِلَّا الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنِیْ فَاِنَّهٗ سَیَهْدِیْنِ

except the One who has originated me; so He will guide me.”
43:28

وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةً بَاقِیَةً فِیْ عَقِبِهٖ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ

He made it a word lasting among his posterity, so that they may return.
43:29

بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ وَاٰبَآءَهُمْ حَتّٰی جَآءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ وَرَسُوْلٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

But, I gave these and their fathers enjoyment, until the truth came to them, and a messenger as well who explains (it).
43:30

وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ قَالُوْا هٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَّاِنَّا بِهٖ كٰفِرُوْنَ

But when the truth came to them, they said, “This is magic, and we totally disbelieve in it.”
43:31

وَقَالُوْا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنُ عَلٰی رَجُلٍ مِّنَ الْقَرْیَتَیْنِ عَظِیْمٍ

They say, “Why was this Qur’ān not revealed on a great man from (either of) the two towns?”
43:32

اَهُمْ یَقْسِمُوْنَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ؕ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَیْنَهُمْ مَّعِیْشَتَهُمْ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجٰتٍ لِّیَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا سُخْرِیًّا ؕ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ

Is it they who allocate the mercy of your Lord? We have allocated among them their livelihood in the worldly life, and have raised some of them over others in ranks, so that some of them may put some others to work. And the mercy of your Lord is much better than what they accumulate.
43:33

وَلَوْلَاۤ اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ النَّاسُ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَنْ یَّكْفُرُ بِالرَّحْمٰنِ لِبُیُوْتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّنْ فِضَّةٍ وَّمَعَارِجَ عَلَیْهَا یَظْهَرُوْنَ

Were it not that all people would become of a single creed (i.e. disbelief), We would have caused, for those who disbelieve in RaHmān, roofs of their houses to be made of silver, and the stairs as well, on which they would climb,
43:34

وَلِبُیُوْتِهِمْ اَبْوَابًا وَّسُرُرًا عَلَیْهَا یَتَّكِـُٔوْنَ

and doors of their homes, and the coaches on which they would recline,
43:35

وَزُخْرُفًا ؕ وَاِنْ كُلُّ ذٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ؕ وَالْاٰخِرَةُ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِیْنَ

and (would have made some of these things) of gold-ornaments. And all this is nothing but an enjoyment of the worldly life. And the Hereafter, with your Lord, is (destined) for the God-fearing.
43:36

وَمَنْ یَّعْشُ عَنْ ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمٰنِ نُقَیِّضْ لَهٗ شَیْطٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهٗ قَرِیْنٌ

Whoever makes himself blind against the advice of RaHmān, We assign for him a devil who accompanies him all the time.
43:37

وَاِنَّهُمْ لَیَصُدُّوْنَهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ وَیَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّهُمْ مُّهْتَدُوْنَ

And they (the devils) prevent such people from the (right) way, while they deem themselves to be on the right path,
43:38

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ یٰلَیْتَ بَیْنِیْ وَبَیْنَكَ بُعْدَ الْمَشْرِقَیْنِ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرِیْنُ

until when such a person will come to us, he will say (to the devil), “Would that there were the distance of East and West between me and you, because you were the worst companion.”
43:39

وَلَنْ یَّنْفَعَكُمُ الْیَوْمَ اِذْ ظَّلَمْتُمْ اَنَّكُمْ فِی الْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُوْنَ

And (it will be said to such people,) “Since you were wrongdoers, it will never benefit you today that you are sharing the punishment with each other.”
43:40

اَفَاَنْتَ تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ اَوْ تَهْدِی الْعُمْیَ وَمَنْ كَانَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

So, can you (O prophet) make the deaf to hear, or can you show the way to the blind and the one who is in open error?
43:41

فَاِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَاِنَّا مِنْهُمْ مُّنْتَقِمُوْنَ

So, even if We take you away, We will surely take vengeance on them.
43:42

اَوْ نُرِیَنَّكَ الَّذِیْ وَعَدْنٰهُمْ فَاِنَّا عَلَیْهِمْ مُّقْتَدِرُوْنَ

Or (if) We show you (in your life) that (punishment) with which We have threatened them, then We have full control over them.
43:43

فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِالَّذِیْۤ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیْكَ ۚ اِنَّكَ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ

So, hold fast to that which has been revealed to you. Surely, you are on the straight path.
43:44

وَاِنَّهٗ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ ۚ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُوْنَ

And certainly this (Qur’ān) is a word of honour for you and your people, and you will be questioned.
43:45

وَسْـَٔلْ مَنْ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رُّسُلِنَاۤ اَجَعَلْنَا مِنْ دُوْنِ الرَّحْمٰنِ اٰلِهَةً یُّعْبَدُوْنَ

Ask Our messengers whom We sent before you whether We had appointed gods to be worshipped besides RaHmān.
43:46

وَلَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا مُوْسٰی بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَاۡىِٕهٖ فَقَالَ اِنِّیْ رَسُوْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

We sent Mūsā with Our signs to Fir’aun (Pharaoh) and his chiefs; so he said, “I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds.”
43:47

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اِذَا هُمْ مِّنْهَا یَضْحَكُوْنَ

So, when he came to them with Our signs, they at once started laughing at them.
43:48

وَمَا نُرِیْهِمْ مِّنْ اٰیَةٍ اِلَّا هِیَ اَكْبَرُ مِنْ اُخْتِهَا ؗ وَاَخَذْنٰهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ

And We did not show them a sign, but it used to be greater than the one that preceded it. And We seized them with punishment, so that they may return.
43:49

وَقَالُوْا یٰۤاَیُّهَ السّٰحِرُ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِنْدَكَ ۚ اِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُوْنَ

And they said, “O magician, pray for us to your Lord by the covenant He has made with you; we will certainly come to guidance.”
43:50

فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ اِذَا هُمْ یَنْكُثُوْنَ

Then, once We removed the punishment from them, in no time they broke their promise.
43:51

وَنَادٰی فِرْعَوْنُ فِیْ قَوْمِهٖ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اَلَیْسَ لِیْ مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهٰذِهِ الْاَنْهٰرُ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِیْ ۚ اَفَلَا تُبْصِرُوْنَ

And Fir’aun (Pharaoh) proclaimed among his people, saying, “Does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers are flowing right underneath me? Do you, then, not discern?
43:52

اَمْ اَنَا خَیْرٌ مِّنْ هٰذَا الَّذِیْ هُوَ مَهِیْنٌ ۙ۬ وَّلَا یَكَادُ یُبِیْنُ

Or (do you not see that) I am much better than this one (Mūsā) who is worthless and can hardly express himself?
43:53

فَلَوْلَاۤ اُلْقِیَ عَلَیْهِ اَسْوِرَةٌ مِّنْ ذَهَبٍ اَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِیْنَ

So why were the bracelets of gold not sent down to him, or (why) did the angels not come along with him as companions?”
43:54

فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهٗ فَاَطَاعُوْهُ ؕ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا فٰسِقِیْنَ

Thus he made fool of his people, and they obeyed him. Surely they were a sinful people.
43:55

فَلَمَّاۤ اٰسَفُوْنَا انْتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَاَغْرَقْنٰهُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ

So, when they provoked Our anger, We took vengeance on them, and drowned them all together,
43:56

فَجَعَلْنٰهُمْ سَلَفًا وَّمَثَلًا لِّلْاٰخِرِیْنَ

and made them a people of the past, and an example for the later generations.
43:57

وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْیَمَ مَثَلًا اِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ یَصِدُّوْنَ

When the example of the son of Maryam was cited, your people started at once shouting at it (in joy),
43:58

وَقَالُوْۤا ءَاٰلِهَتُنَا خَیْرٌ اَمْ هُوَ ؕ مَا ضَرَبُوْهُ لَكَ اِلَّا جَدَلًا ؕ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُوْنَ

and said, “Are Our gods better or is he?” They did not cite it (the example) but for the sake of disputation. Rather, they are a quarrelsome people.
43:59

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا عَبْدٌ اَنْعَمْنَا عَلَیْهِ وَجَعَلْنٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ

He (‘Īsā) is no more than a servant (of Allah) whom We favoured and made an example for the children of Isrā’īl.
43:60

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنْكُمْ مَّلٰٓىِٕكَةً فِی الْاَرْضِ یَخْلُفُوْنَ

And if We will, We may create angels from you who succeed you on the earth.
43:61

وَاِنَّهٗ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُوْنِ ؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِیْمٌ

And he (‘Īsā) is a source of knowledge of the Hour (the Day of Judgment); so do not be in doubt about it, and follow me. This is the straight way.
43:62

وَلَا یَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ

And let not the ShaiTān (Satan) prevent you (from following this way). He is surely an open enemy for you.
43:63

وَلَمَّا جَآءَ عِیْسٰی بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَلِاُبَیِّنَ لَكُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِیْ تَخْتَلِفُوْنَ فِیْهِ ۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِیْعُوْنِ

When ‘Īsā came with clear proofs, he said, “I have come to you with wisdom, and to explain to you some of those matters in which you differ. So, fear Allah, and obey me.
43:64

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ رَبِّیْ وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوْهُ ؕ هٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِیْمٌ

Surely, it is Allah who is my Lord and your Lord; so worship Him. This is the straight way.”
43:65

فَاخْتَلَفَ الْاَحْزَابُ مِنْ بَیْنِهِمْ ۚ فَوَیْلٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْ عَذَابِ یَوْمٍ اَلِیْمٍ

Then different groups, out of them, fell into disagreement. Woe to the wrongdoers because of the punishment of a painful day!
43:66

هَلْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَّهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ

They are waiting for nothing but for the Hour to come upon them suddenly, while they would not even imagine (it).
43:67

اَلْاَخِلَّآءُ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقِیْنَ

Friends, on that day, will become enemies to one another, except the God-fearing,
43:68

یٰعِبَادِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْكُمُ الْیَوْمَ وَلَاۤ اَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُوْنَ

(to whom it will be said) “O my servants, there is no fear for you today, nor will you grieve-
43:69

اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَكَانُوْا مُسْلِمِیْنَ

-O those (servants) who believed in Our signs, and remained obedient.
43:70

اُدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ اَنْتُمْ وَاَزْوَاجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُوْنَ

- Enter the Paradise, you and your spouses, showered with bliss.”
43:71

یُطَافُ عَلَیْهِمْ بِصِحَافٍ مِّنْ ذَهَبٍ وَّاَكْوَابٍ ۚ وَفِیْهَا مَا تَشْتَهِیْهِ الْاَنْفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْاَعْیُنُ ۚ وَاَنْتُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

Circulated among them will be the bowls of gold, and glasses. And there will be whatever souls desire and that which eyes enjoy. “And you will be living in it for ever.
43:72

وَتِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِیْۤ اُوْرِثْتُمُوْهَا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

That is the Paradise you are made to inherit because of what you used to do.
43:73

لَكُمْ فِیْهَا فَاكِهَةٌ كَثِیْرَةٌ مِّنْهَا تَاْكُلُوْنَ

For you there are fruits in abundance from which you will eat.”
43:74

اِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ فِیْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدُوْنَ

The sinners (on the other hand) will be in the punishment of Jahannam (Hell), living there forever.
43:75

لَا یُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِیْهِ مُبْلِسُوْنَ

It will not be lightened for them, and they will be there, devoid of all hopes.
43:76

وَمَا ظَلَمْنٰهُمْ وَلٰكِنْ كَانُوْا هُمُ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ

We did not do injustice to them, rather, they themselves were the unjust.
43:77

وَنَادَوْا یٰمٰلِكُ لِیَقْضِ عَلَیْنَا رَبُّكَ ؕ قَالَ اِنَّكُمْ مّٰكِثُوْنَ

And they will call (Mālik, the keeper of the Hell,) “O Mālik, let your Lord do away with us.” He will say, “You have to stay on.”
43:78

لَقَدْ جِئْنٰكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كٰرِهُوْنَ

(O disbelievers,) indeed We have brought to you the truth, but it is the truth that most of you detest.
43:79

اَمْ اَبْرَمُوْۤا اَمْرًا فَاِنَّا مُبْرِمُوْنَ

Is it that they have firmly resolved to do something (harmful to Our messenger)? Then, We have firmly resolved (to frustrate their plan.)
43:80

اَمْ یَحْسَبُوْنَ اَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوٰىهُمْ ؕ بَلٰی وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَیْهِمْ یَكْتُبُوْنَ

Do they think that We do not hear their secrets and their whispers? Yes of course, Our messengers (angels) are with them who record (whatever they plan).
43:81

قُلْ اِنْ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدٌ ۖۗ فَاَنَا اَوَّلُ الْعٰبِدِیْنَ

Say, “Had there been a son for the RaHmān, I would have been the first to worship.”
43:82

سُبْحٰنَ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا یَصِفُوْنَ

Pure is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, from what they attribute (to Him).
43:83

فَذَرْهُمْ یَخُوْضُوْا وَیَلْعَبُوْا حَتّٰی یُلٰقُوْا یَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِیْ یُوْعَدُوْنَ

So, let them indulge (in their fallacy) and play, until they face their Day that they are promised.
43:84

وَهُوَ الَّذِیْ فِی السَّمَآءِ اِلٰهٌ وَّفِی الْاَرْضِ اِلٰهٌ ؕ وَهُوَ الْحَكِیْمُ الْعَلِیْمُ

He is the One who is God to be worshipped in the sky, and God to be worshipped on the earth. And He is the Wise, the All-Knowing.
43:85

وَتَبٰرَكَ الَّذِیْ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا ۚ وَعِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ ۚ وَاِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

Glorious is the One to whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them. With Him is the knowledge of the Hour; and towards Him you are to be returned.
43:86

وَلَا یَمْلِكُ الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِ الشَّفَاعَةَ اِلَّا مَنْ شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ

And those whom they invoke besides Him have no power to intercede; but those who bear witness to the truth, while they have knowledge (may intercede for the believers with Allah’s permission).
43:87

وَلَىِٕنْ سَاَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَیَقُوْلُنَّ اللّٰهُ فَاَنّٰی یُؤْفَكُوْنَ

And if you ask them as to who has created them, they will certainly say, “Allah”. Then, to where are they driven back (by their false desires)?
43:88

وَقِیْلِهٖ یٰرَبِّ اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ لَّا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ

And (Allah has the knowledge) of his (prophet’s) saying, “O my Lord, these are a people who do not believe.”
43:89

فَاصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلٰمٌ ؕ فَسَوْفَ یَعْلَمُوْنَ

So, turn away from them, and say, “Salām !” (good-bye!). Then, soon they will come to know (the end of their attitude).

We have sent it down in a blessed night, (because) We had to warn (people).
44:4

فِیْهَا یُفْرَقُ كُلُّ اَمْرٍ حَكِیْمٍ

In that (night), every wise matter is allocated
44:5

اَمْرًا مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا ؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِیْنَ

through a command from Us. We were to send the Messenger
44:6

رَحْمَةً مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ

as a mercy from your Lord, -Surely, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing-

رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا ۘ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِیْنَ

the Lord of the heavens and the earth and of whatever there is between them, if you are to believe.

There is no god, but He. He gives life and brings death. He is your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
44:9

بَلْ هُمْ فِیْ شَكٍّ یَّلْعَبُوْنَ

But they, being in doubt, are playing around.
44:10

فَارْتَقِبْ یَوْمَ تَاْتِی السَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

So, wait for a day when the sky will come up with a visible smoke
44:11

یَّغْشَی النَّاسَ ؕ هٰذَا عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ

that will envelop people. This is a painful punishment.
44:12

رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ اِنَّا مُؤْمِنُوْنَ

(Then they will say,) “O our Lord, remove from us the punishment; we will truly believe.”
44:13

اَنّٰی لَهُمُ الذِّكْرٰی وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُوْلٌ مُّبِیْنٌ

How will they take lesson, while there has already come to them a messenger making things clear?
44:14

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَقَالُوْا مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُوْنٌ

Then they turned away from him, and said, “(He is) tutored, crazy.”
44:15

اِنَّا كَاشِفُوا الْعَذَابِ قَلِیْلًا اِنَّكُمْ عَآىِٕدُوْنَ

(Well,) We are going to remove the punishment for a while, (but) you will certainly go back (to your original position).

یَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرٰی ۚ اِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُوْنَ

(Then,) the day We will seize (you) with the greatest seizure, We will take vengeance.

And We tested the people of Fir‘aun (Pharaoh) prior to them, and a noble messenger came to them
44:18

اَنْ اَدُّوْۤا اِلَیَّ عِبَادَ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنِّیْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلٌ اَمِیْنٌ

saying, “Deliver to me the servants of Allah. I am an honest messenger to you,”
44:19

وَّاَنْ لَّا تَعْلُوْا عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنِّیْۤ اٰتِیْكُمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍ مُّبِیْنٍ

and saying, “Do not be haughty against Allah. I bring to you a clear proof.
44:20

وَاِنِّیْ عُذْتُ بِرَبِّیْ وَرَبِّكُمْ اَنْ تَرْجُمُوْنِ

Then he prayed to his Lord saying, “These are a guilty people.”
44:23

فَاَسْرِ بِعِبَادِیْ لَیْلًا اِنَّكُمْ مُّتَّبَعُوْنَ

(So, Allah answered his prayer saying,) “Now, take away my servants at night. You will certainly be chased,
44:24

وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ جُنْدٌ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ

and leave the sea in the state of stillness; they are an army that is sure to be drowned.”
44:25

كَمْ تَرَكُوْا مِنْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُیُوْنٍ

How many gardens and fountains have they left behind-
44:26

وَّزُرُوْعٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِیْمٍ

- and how many fields and noble sites,
44:27

وَّنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوْا فِیْهَا فٰكِهِیْنَ

44:28

كَذٰلِكَ ۫ وَاَوْرَثْنٰهَا قَوْمًا اٰخَرِیْنَ

This is how it happened. And We made other people inherit all this.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَیْهِمُ السَّمَآءُ وَالْاَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوْا مُنْظَرِیْنَ

So, neither the sky and earth wept over them, nor were they given a respite.

مِنْ فِرْعَوْنَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِیًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ

from Fir‘aun. Indeed, he was haughty, one of the transgressors.
44:32

وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنٰهُمْ عَلٰی عِلْمٍ عَلَی الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

And We chose them, with knowledge, above all the worlds.
44:33

وَاٰتَیْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الْاٰیٰتِ مَا فِیْهِ بَلٰٓؤٌا مُّبِیْنٌ

And We gave them the clear signs in which there was a manifest blessing.
44:34

اِنَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ لَیَقُوْلُوْنَ

These people say,
44:35

اِنْ هِیَ اِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْاُوْلٰی وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنْشَرِیْنَ

“There is nothing more than our first death, and we are not going to be resurrected.
44:36

فَاْتُوْا بِاٰبَآىِٕنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ

So, (O believers,) bring our fathers, if you are true (in your belief in resurrection.)”
44:37

اَهُمْ خَیْرٌ اَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ ۙ وَّالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ؕ اَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ ؗ اِنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا مُجْرِمِیْنَ

Are they better or the people of Tubba‘ and those who were before them? We have destroyed them. They were guilty indeed.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا لٰعِبِیْنَ

And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them just as players.

We did not create them but with true purpose, but most of them do not know.

44:42

اِلَّا مَنْ رَّحِمَ اللّٰهُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ

like dregs of oil. It will boil in the bellies
44:46

كَغَلْیِ الْحَمِیْمِ

خُذُوْهُ فَاعْتِلُوْهُ اِلٰی سَوَآءِ الْجَحِیْمِ

(It will be said to angels,) “Seize him, and drag him into the midst of the Hell.
44:48

ثُمَّ صُبُّوْا فَوْقَ رَاْسِهٖ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْحَمِیْمِ

Then pour on his head some torment of boiling water.”
44:49

ذُقْ ۙۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْكَرِیْمُ

“Have a taste! You are the ‘man of might’, the ‘man of honour’.
44:50

اِنَّ هٰذَا مَا كُنْتُمْ بِهٖ تَمْتَرُوْنَ

This is the thing about which you used to be skeptic.”

44:53

یَّلْبَسُوْنَ مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَّاِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِیْنَ

They will be dressed in fine silk and thick silk, facing each other.
44:54

كَذٰلِكَ ۫ وَزَوَّجْنٰهُمْ بِحُوْرٍ عِیْنٍ

Thus (it will happen,) and We will marry them with houris having big dark eyes.
44:55

یَدْعُوْنَ فِیْهَا بِكُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ اٰمِنِیْنَ

They will call therein for every fruit peacefully.

لَا یَذُوْقُوْنَ فِیْهَا الْمَوْتَ اِلَّا الْمَوْتَةَ الْاُوْلٰی ۚ وَوَقٰىهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِیْمِ

They will not taste death therein beyond the first death (they faced in the world). And He (Allah) will save them from the torment of Hell,
44:57

فَضْلًا مِّنْ رَّبِّكَ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ

as a favour from your Lord. That is the great achievement.
44:58

فَاِنَّمَا یَسَّرْنٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَكَّرُوْنَ

So, We had made it (the Qur’ān) easy in your tongue, so that they may take lesson.

who hears Allah’s verses being recited to him, then he remains adamant out of arrogance, as if he never heard them. So give him the ‘good news’ of a painful punishment.
45:9

وَاِذَا عَلِمَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِنَا شَیْـَٔا تَّخَذَهَا هُزُوًا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِیْنٌ

When he learns about something of Our verses, he takes it as a laughing stock. For such people, there is a humiliating punishment.
45:10

مِنْ وَّرَآىِٕهِمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ وَلَا یُغْنِیْ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَسَبُوْا شَیْـًٔا وَّلَا مَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَوْلِیَآءَ ۚ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ

In front of them, there is Jahannam (Hell). And whatever they have earned will not be of any use to them, nor the patrons they have adopted instead of Allah. And for them, there is a horrible punishment.
45:11

هٰذَا هُدًی ۚ وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مِّنْ رِّجْزٍ اَلِیْمٌ

This is guidance, and those who reject the verses of their Lord, for them there is a painful punishment of the divine scourge.
45:12

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِیَ الْفُلْكُ فِیْهِ بِاَمْرِهٖ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ

Allah is the One who has subjugated for you the sea, so that the ships may sail in it with His command, and so that you may seek His grace, and so that you offer gratitude.
45:13

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَّا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا مِّنْهُ ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

He has subjugated for you whatever there is in the heavens and whatever there is in the earth, all on His own. Surely in this there are signs for a people who reflect.
45:14

قُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا یَغْفِرُوْا لِلَّذِیْنَ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ اَیَّامَ اللّٰهِ لِیَجْزِیَ قَوْمًا بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ

Tell those who believe that they should forgive those who do not believe in Allah’s days, so that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn.
45:15

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهٖ ۚ وَمَنْ اَسَآءَ فَعَلَیْهَا ؗ ثُمَّ اِلٰی رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُوْنَ

Whoever acts righteously, it is for his own benefit, and who does evil, it is against his own soul. Then towards your Lord, you will be returned.
45:16

وَلَقَدْ اٰتَیْنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحُكْمَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ وَرَزَقْنٰهُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنٰهُمْ عَلَی الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

We gave the children of Isrā’īl the book and the wisdom and the prophet-hood, and provided them with good things, and preferred them above all (people of) the world,
45:17

وَاٰتَیْنٰهُمْ بَیِّنٰتٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ ۚ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوْۤا اِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ الْعِلْمُ ۙ بَغْیًا بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ یَقْضِیْ بَیْنَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ فِیْمَا كَانُوْا فِیْهِ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ

and We gave them clear proofs of the Matter (i.e. the religion). So they did not fall into disagreement out of mutual jealousy, but after the knowledge had come to them. Surely your Lord will judge between them, on the Day of Judgment, in the matters in which they used to differ.
45:18

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنٰكَ عَلٰی شَرِیْعَةٍ مِّنَ الْاَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ اَهْوَآءَ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ

Then We have put you on a certain way of the Matter (i.e. the religion); so follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know.
45:19

اِنَّهُمْ لَنْ یُّغْنُوْا عَنْكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَیْـًٔا ؕ وَاِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَاللّٰهُ وَلِیُّ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ

They will never help you against Allah in the least. The wrongdoers are friends to one another, and Allah is the friend of the God-fearing.
45:20

هٰذَا بَصَآىِٕرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًی وَّرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّوْقِنُوْنَ

These are insights for the people, and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
45:21

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِیْنَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّیِّاٰتِ اَنْ نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ۙ سَوَآءً مَّحْیَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْ ؕ سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ

Do those who have committed evils assume that We will make them like those who believe and do righteous deeds, so as their life and death becomes equal? Evil is what they judge.
45:22

وَخَلَقَ اللّٰهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ وَلِتُجْزٰی كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ

Allah has created the heavens and the earth with just purpose, and so that everybody is recompensed for what he (or she) earned, and they will not be wronged.
45:23

اَفَرَءَیْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰهَهٗ هَوٰىهُ وَاَضَلَّهُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی عِلْمٍ وَّخَتَمَ عَلٰی سَمْعِهٖ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَجَعَلَ عَلٰی بَصَرِهٖ غِشٰوَةً ؕ فَمَنْ یَّهْدِیْهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

So, have you seen him who has taken his desires as his god, and Allah has let him go astray, despite having knowledge, and has sealed his ear and his heart, and put a cover on his eye? Now who will guide him after Allah? Still, do you not take lesson?
45:24

وَقَالُوْا مَا هِیَ اِلَّا حَیَاتُنَا الدُّنْیَا نَمُوْتُ وَنَحْیَا وَمَا یُهْلِكُنَاۤ اِلَّا الدَّهْرُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ بِذٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۚ اِنْ هُمْ اِلَّا یَظُنُّوْنَ

And they say, “There is no life but our worldly life. We die and live, and nothing destroys us except time.” They have no knowledge about that; they do nothing but make conjectures.
45:25

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا بَیِّنٰتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ قَالُوا ائْتُوْا بِاٰبَآىِٕنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ

When Our verses are recited to them in all their clarity, their argument is none but that they say, “Bring our fathers, if you are truthful.”
45:26

قُلِ اللّٰهُ یُحْیِیْكُمْ ثُمَّ یُمِیْتُكُمْ ثُمَّ یَجْمَعُكُمْ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیٰمَةِ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ

Say, “Allah gives you life, then makes you die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Judgement in which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know.
45:27

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ؕ وَیَوْمَ تَقُوْمُ السَّاعَةُ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ یَّخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. The day the Hour will take place, it will be the day in which the adherents of falsehood shall lose,
45:28

وَتَرٰی كُلَّ اُمَّةٍ جَاثِیَةً ۫ كُلُّ اُمَّةٍ تُدْعٰۤی اِلٰی كِتٰبِهَا ؕ اَلْیَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

and you will see every community kneeling down. Every community will be called to its book (of record). Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.
45:29

هٰذَا كِتٰبُنَا یَنْطِقُ عَلَیْكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ ؕ اِنَّا كُنَّا نَسْتَنْسِخُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ

This is Our book that speaks against you with truth. We used to get recorded all that you used to do.
45:30

فَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَیُدْخِلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ فِیْ رَحْمَتِهٖ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِیْنُ

Then, as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them to His mercy. That is indeed the achievement, visible to all.
45:31

وَاَمَّا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ۫ اَفَلَمْ تَكُنْ اٰیٰتِیْ تُتْلٰی عَلَیْكُمْ فَاسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ وَكُنْتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِیْنَ

And as to those who disbelieved, (it will be said to them,) “Had My verses not been recited to you? But you showed arrogance, and you were a guilty people;
45:32

وَاِذَا قِیْلَ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّالسَّاعَةُ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا قُلْتُمْ مَّا نَدْرِیْ مَا السَّاعَةُ ۙ اِنْ نَّظُنُّ اِلَّا ظَنًّا وَّمَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَیْقِنِیْنَ

and when it was said to you that Allah’s promise is true and there is no doubt in the (arrival of the) Hour, you used to say, ‘We do not know what the Hour is. We do not think (about it) but as an assumption, and we are not sure.’”
45:33

وَبَدَا لَهُمْ سَیِّاٰتُ مَا عَمِلُوْا وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ

And revealed to them will be the evils of what they did, and encircled they will be by what they used to ridicule.
45:34

وَقِیْلَ الْیَوْمَ نَنْسٰىكُمْ كَمَا نَسِیْتُمْ لِقَآءَ یَوْمِكُمْ هٰذَا وَمَاْوٰىكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِیْنَ

It will be said, “Today We will forget you, as you forgot facing this your day, and your abode is the Fire, and for you there are no helpers at all.
45:35

ذٰلِكُمْ بِاَنَّكُمُ اتَّخَذْتُمْ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوًا وَّغَرَّتْكُمُ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا ۚ فَالْیَوْمَ لَا یُخْرَجُوْنَ مِنْهَا وَلَا هُمْ یُسْتَعْتَبُوْنَ

That is because you took Allah’s verses as a laughing stock, and the worldly life deceived you.” So today they will neither be brought out of it, nor will they be asked to repent.
45:36

فَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَرَبِّ الْاَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ

So, to Allah belongs all praise, who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the worlds.
45:37

وَلَهُ الْكِبْرِیَآءُ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ ۪ وَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ

And to Him belongs majesty in the heavens and the earth. And He is the Mighty, the Wise.
