155 وَلَنَبۡلُوَنَّكُم بِشَیۡءࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ وَٱلۡجُوعِ وَنَقۡصࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡوَ ٰلِ وَٱلۡأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَ ٰتِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِینَ ۝١٥٥ walanabluwannakum bishayin mina l-khawfi wal-jūʿi wanaqṣin mina l-amwāli wal-anfusi wal-thamarāti wabashiri l-ṣābirīn We shall certainly test you with fear and hunger, and loss of property, lives, and crops. But [Prophet], give good news to those who are steadfast 156 ٱلَّذِینَ إِذَاۤ أَصَـٰبَتۡهُم مُّصِیبَةࣱ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّاۤ إِلَیۡهِ رَ ٰجِعُونَ ۝١٥٦ alladhīna idhā aṣābathum muṣībatun qālū innā lillahi wa-innā ilayhi rājiʿūn those who say, when afflicted with a calamity, ‘We belong to God and to Him we shall return.’ 157 أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ صَلَوَ ٰتࣱ مِّن رَّبِّهِمۡ وَرَحۡمَةࣱۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدُونَ ۝١٥٧ ulāika ʿalayhim ṣalawātun min rabbihim waraḥmatun wa-ulāika humu l-muh'tadūn These will be given blessings and mercy from their Lord, and it is they who are rightly guided 158 ۞ إِنَّ ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلۡمَرۡوَةَ مِن شَعَاۤىِٕرِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَنۡ حَجَّ ٱلۡبَیۡتَ أَوِ ٱعۡتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیۡهِ أَن یَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَاۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَیۡرࣰا فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِیمٌ ۝١٥٨ inna l-ṣafā wal-marwata min shaʿāiri l-lahi faman ḥajja l-bayta awi iʿ'tamara falā junāḥa ʿalayhi an yaṭṭawwafa bihimā waman taṭawwaʿa khayran fa-inna l-laha shākirun ʿalīmu Safa and Marwa are among the rites of God, so for those who make major or minor pilgrimage to the House it is no offence to circulate between the two. Anyone who does good of his own accord will be rewarded, for God rewards good deeds, and knows everything
159 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَكۡتُمُونَ مَاۤ أَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلۡهُدَىٰ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا بَیَّنَّـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِی ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ یَلۡعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَیَلۡعَنُهُمُ ٱللَّـٰعِنُونَ ۝١٥٩ inna alladhīna yaktumūna mā anzalnā mina l-bayināti wal-hudā min baʿdi mā bayyannāhu lilnnāsi fī l-kitābi ulāika yalʿanuhumu l-lahu wayalʿanuhumu l-lāʿinūn As for those who hide the proofs and guidance We send down, after We have made them clear to people in the Scripture, God rejects them, and so do others
160 إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ تَابُوا۟ وَأَصۡلَحُوا۟ وَبَیَّنُوا۟ فَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَیۡهِمۡ وَأَنَا ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٦٠ illā alladhīna tābū wa-aṣlaḥū wabayyanū fa-ulāika atūbu ʿalayhim wa-anā l-tawābu l-raḥīm unless they repent, make amends, and declare the truth. I will certainly accept their repentance: I am the Ever Relenting, the Most Merciful 161 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٌ أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ عَلَیۡهِمۡ لَعۡنَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِینَ ۝١٦١ inna alladhīna kafarū wamātū wahum kuffārun ulāika ʿalayhim laʿnatu l-lahi wal-malāikati wal-nāsi ajmaʿīn As for those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers, God rejects them, as do the angels and all people 162 خَـٰلِدِینَ فِیهَا لَا یُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمۡ یُنظَرُونَ ۝١٦٢ khālidīna fīhā lā yukhaffafu ʿanhumu l-ʿadhābu walā hum yunẓarūn They will remain in this state of rejection: their punishment will not be lightened, nor will they be reprieved 163 وَإِلَـٰهُكُمۡ إِلَـٰهࣱ وَ ٰحِدࣱۖ لَّاۤ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنُ ٱلرَّحِیمُ ۝١٦٣ wa-ilāhukum ilāhun wāḥidun lā ilāha illā huwa l-raḥmānu l-raḥīm Your God is the one God: there is no god except Him, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy
