Verse 3:180 in Context

Translator Abdel Haleem
176 وَلَا یَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِینَ یُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِی ٱلۡكُفۡرِۚ إِنَّهُمۡ لَن یَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَیۡءࣰاۗ یُرِیدُ ٱللَّهُ أَلَّا یَجۡعَلَ لَهُمۡ حَظࣰّا فِی ٱلۡءَاخِرَةِۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمٌ ۝١٧٦ walā yaḥzunka alladhīna yusāriʿūna fī l-kuf'ri innahum lan yaḍurrū l-laha shayan yurīdu l-lahu allā yajʿala lahum ḥaẓẓan fī l-ākhirati walahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīmu [Prophet], do not be grieved by those who are quick to disbelieve. They will not harm God in the least; it is God’s will that they will have no share in the Hereafter- a terrible torment awaits them 177 إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱشۡتَرَوُا۟ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ بِٱلۡإِیمَـٰنِ لَن یَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَیۡءࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ۝١٧٧ inna alladhīna ish'tarawū l-kuf'ra bil-īmāni lan yaḍurrū l-laha shayan walahum ʿadhābun alīmu Those who sell their faith for disbelief will not harm God in any way; agonizing torment awaits them 178 وَلَا یَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوۤا۟ أَنَّمَا نُمۡلِی لَهُمۡ خَیۡرࣱ لِّأَنفُسِهِمۡۚ إِنَّمَا نُمۡلِی لَهُمۡ لِیَزۡدَادُوۤا۟ إِثۡمࣰاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ مُّهِینࣱ ۝١٧٨ walā yaḥsabanna alladhīna kafarū annamā num'lī lahum khayrun li-anfusihim innamā num'lī lahum liyazdādū ith'man walahum ʿadhābun muhīnu The disbelievers should not think that it is better for them that We give them more time: when We give them more time they become more sinful- a shameful torment awaits them 179 مَّا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِیَذَرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ عَلَىٰ مَاۤ أَنتُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ حَتَّىٰ یَمِیزَ ٱلۡخَبِیثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّیِّبِۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِیُطۡلِعَكُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡغَیۡبِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ یَجۡتَبِی مِن رُّسُلِهِۦ مَن یَشَاۤءُۖ فَءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۚ وَإِن تُؤۡمِنُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَلَكُمۡ أَجۡرٌ عَظِیمࣱ ۝١٧٩ mā kāna l-lahu liyadhara l-mu'minīna ʿalā mā antum ʿalayhi ḥattā yamīza l-khabītha mina l-ṭayibi wamā kāna l-lahu liyuṭ'liʿakum ʿalā l-ghaybi walākinna l-laha yajtabī min rusulihi man yashāu faāminū bil-lahi warusulihi wa-in tu'minū watattaqū falakum ajrun ʿaẓīmu Nor was it God’s aim to leave you as you were, with no separation between the bad and the good. God would not show you [people] what is hidden; God chooses as His messengers whoever He will. So believe in God and His messengers: if you believe and stay mindful of God, you will have a great reward
180 وَلَا یَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَبۡخَلُونَ بِمَاۤ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ هُوَ خَیۡرࣰا لَّهُمۖ بَلۡ هُوَ شَرࣱّ لَّهُمۡۖ سَیُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا۟ بِهِۦ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِۗ وَلِلَّهِ مِیرَ ٰثُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِیرࣱ ۝١٨٠ walā yaḥsabanna alladhīna yabkhalūna bimā ātāhumu l-lahu min faḍlihi huwa khayran lahum bal huwa sharrun lahum sayuṭawwaqūna mā bakhilū bihi yawma l-qiyāmati walillahi mīrāthu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wal-lahu bimā taʿmalūna khabīru Those who are miserly with what God has granted them out of His grace should not think that it is good for them; on the contrary, it is bad for them. Whatever they meanly withhold will be hung around their necks on the Day of Resurrection. It is God who will inherit the heavens and earth: God is well aware of everything you do
181 لَّقَدۡ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّذِینَ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَقِیرࣱ وَنَحۡنُ أَغۡنِیَاۤءُۘ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا قَالُوا۟ وَقَتۡلَهُمُ ٱلۡأَنۢبِیَاۤءَ بِغَیۡرِ حَقࣲّ وَنَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِیقِ ۝١٨١ laqad samiʿa l-lahu qawla alladhīna qālū inna l-laha faqīrun wanaḥnu aghniyāu sanaktubu mā qālū waqatlahumu l-anbiyāa bighayri ḥaqqin wanaqūlu dhūqū ʿadhāba l-ḥarīq God has certainly heard the words of those who sneer, ‘So God is poor, while we are rich’. We shall record everything they say––as well as their killing of prophets in defiance of all that is right- and We shall say to them, ‘Taste the torment of the scorching fire 182 ذَ ٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَیۡدِیكُمۡ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَیۡسَ بِظَلَّامࣲ لِّلۡعَبِیدِ ۝١٨٢ dhālika bimā qaddamat aydīkum wa-anna l-laha laysa biẓallāmin lil'ʿabīd That is on account of what you stored up for yourselves with your own hands: God is never unjust to His servants.’ 183 ٱلَّذِینَ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَهِدَ إِلَیۡنَاۤ أَلَّا نُؤۡمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتَّىٰ یَأۡتِیَنَا بِقُرۡبَانࣲ تَأۡكُلُهُ ٱلنَّارُۗ قُلۡ قَدۡ جَاۤءَكُمۡ رُسُلࣱ مِّن قَبۡلِی بِٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ وَبِٱلَّذِی قُلۡتُمۡ فَلِمَ قَتَلۡتُمُوهُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝١٨٣ alladhīna qālū inna l-laha ʿahida ilaynā allā nu'mina lirasūlin ḥattā yatiyanā biqur'bānin takuluhu l-nāru qul qad jāakum rusulun min qablī bil-bayināti wabi-alladhī qul'tum falima qataltumūhum in kuntum ṣādiqīn To those who say, ‘God has commanded us not to believe in any messenger unless he brings us an offering that fire [from heaven] consumes,’ say [Prophet], ‘Messengers before me have come to you with clear signs, including the one you mention. If you are sincere, why did you kill them?’ 184 فَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقَدۡ كُذِّبَ رُسُلࣱ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ جَاۤءُو بِٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِ وَٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡمُنِیرِ ۝١٨٤ fa-in kadhabūka faqad kudhiba rusulun min qablika jāū bil-bayināti wal-zuburi wal-kitābi l-munīr If they reject you, so have other messengers been rejected before you, even though they came with clear evidence, books of wisdom and enlightening scripture
