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

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

إِنَّ فِی خَلۡقِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱخۡتِلَـٰفِ ٱلَّیۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلَّتِی تَجۡرِی فِی ٱلۡبَحۡرِ بِمَا یَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ وَمَاۤ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ مِن مَّاۤءࣲ فَأَحۡیَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَا وَبَثَّ فِیهَا مِن كُلِّ دَاۤبَّةࣲ وَتَصۡرِیفِ ٱلرِّیَـٰحِ وَٱلسَّحَابِ ٱلۡمُسَخَّرِ بَیۡنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَءَایَـٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ یَعۡقِلُونَ ١٦٤
inna fī khalqi l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wa-ikh'tilāfi al-layli wal-nahāri wal-ful'ki allatī tajrī fī l-baḥri bimā yanfaʿu l-nāsa wamā anzala l-lahu mina l-samāi min māin fa-aḥyā bihi l-arḍa baʿda mawtihā wabatha fīhā min kulli dābbatin wataṣrīfi l-riyāḥi wal-saḥābi l-musakhari bayna l-samāi wal-arḍi laāyātin liqawmin yaʿqilūn
In the creation of the heavens and earth; in the alternation of night and day; in the ships that sail the seas with goods for people; in the water which God sends down from the sky to give life to the earth when it has been barren, scattering all kinds of creatures over it; in the changing of the winds and clouds that run their appointed courses between the sky and earth: there are signs in all these for those who use their minds
165
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن یَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَندَادࣰا یُحِبُّونَهُمۡ كَحُبِّ ٱللَّهِۖ وَٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوۤا۟ أَشَدُّ حُبࣰّا لِّلَّهِۗ وَلَوۡ یَرَى ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوۤا۟ إِذۡ یَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ أَنَّ ٱلۡقُوَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِیعࣰا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِیدُ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ١٦٥
wamina l-nāsi man yattakhidhu min dūni l-lahi andādan yuḥibbūnahum kaḥubbi l-lahi wa-alladhīna āmanū ashaddu ḥubban lillahi walaw yarā alladhīna ẓalamū idh yarawna l-ʿadhāba anna l-quwata lillahi jamīʿan wa-anna l-laha shadīdu l-ʿadhāb
Even so, there are some who choose to worship others besides God as rivals to Him, loving them with the love due to God, but the believers have greater love for God. If only the idolaters could see- as they will see when they face the torment- that all power belongs to God, and that God punishes severely
166
إِذۡ تَبَرَّأَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتُّبِعُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتۡ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَسۡبَابُ ١٦٦
idh tabarra-a alladhīna ittubiʿū mina alladhīna ittabaʿū wara-awū l-ʿadhāba wataqaṭṭaʿat bihimu l-asbāb
When those who have been followed disown their followers, when they all see the suffering, when all bonds between them are severed
167
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ لَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةࣰ فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنۡهُمۡ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوا۟ مِنَّاۗ كَذَ ٰلِكَ یُرِیهِمُ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ حَسَرَ ٰتٍ عَلَیۡهِمۡۖ وَمَا هُم بِخَـٰرِجِینَ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ١٦٧
waqāla alladhīna ittabaʿū law anna lanā karratan fanatabarra-a min'hum kamā tabarraū minnā kadhālika yurīhimu l-lahu aʿmālahum ḥasarātin ʿalayhim wamā hum bikhārijīna mina l-nār
the followers will say, ‘If only we had one last chance, we would disown them as they now disown us.’ In this way, God will make them see their deeds as a source of bitter regret: they shall not leave the Fire
168
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ حَلَـٰلࣰا طَیِّبࣰا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَ ٰتِ ٱلشَّیۡطَـٰنِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمۡ عَدُوࣱّ مُّبِینٌ ١٦٨
yāayyuhā l-nāsu kulū mimmā fī l-arḍi ḥalālan ṭayyiban walā tattabiʿū khuṭuwāti l-shayṭāni innahu lakum ʿaduwwun mubīnu
People, eat what is good and lawful from the earth, and do not follow Satan’s footsteps, for he is your sworn enemy
169
إِنَّمَا یَأۡمُرُكُم بِٱلسُّوۤءِ وَٱلۡفَحۡشَاۤءِ وَأَن تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ١٦٩
innamā yamurukum bil-sūi wal-faḥshāi wa-an taqūlū ʿalā l-lahi mā lā taʿlamūn
He always commands you to do what is evil and indecent, and to say things about God that you do not really know
