Jonah — The Wise Quran Translation – Parallel Quran

1 Truth of Revelation

الۤرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَایَـٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ ٱلۡحَكِیمِ ۝١

Alif.Lam.Ra. Those are the signs of the wise Book.

alif-lam-ra til'ka āyātu l-kitābi l-ḥakīm

أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنۡ أَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ إِلَىٰ رَجُلࣲ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَنۡ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوۤا۟ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ قَدَمَ صِدۡقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۗ قَالَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرࣱ مُّبِینٌ ۝٢

Is it a wonder to mankind that We inspired to a man from them that, 'Warn mankind and give glad tidings to those who believed that they have a true footing with their Lord'? The disbelievers say, 'Indeed, this is surely a clear magician.'

akāna lilnnāsi ʿajaban an awḥaynā ilā rajulin min'hum an andhiri l-nāsa wabashiri alladhīna āmanū anna lahum qadama ṣid'qin ʿinda rabbihim qāla l-kāfirūna inna hādhā lasāḥirun mubīnu

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ فِی سِتَّةِ أَیَّامࣲ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ یُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَۖ مَا مِن شَفِیعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ إِذۡنِهِۦۚ ذَ ٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱعۡبُدُوهُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ۝٣

Indeed, your Lord is God, who created the heavens and the earth in six days; then He settled on the throne, to govern the affair; there is no intercessor, except after His permission. That is God, your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?

inna rabbakumu l-lahu alladhī khalaqa l-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati ayyāmin thumma is'tawā ʿalā l-ʿarshi yudabbiru l-amra mā min shafīʿin illā min baʿdi idh'nihi dhālikumu l-lahu rabbukum fa-uʿ'budūhu afalā tadhakkarūn

إِلَیۡهِ مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ جَمِیعࣰاۖ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقًّاۚ إِنَّهُۥ یَبۡدَؤُا۟ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُۥ لِیَجۡزِیَ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِۚ وَٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَهُمۡ شَرَابࣱ مِّنۡ حَمِیمࣲ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِیمُۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَكۡفُرُونَ ۝٤

To Him is your return all together. God's promise is true; indeed, He begins the creation then He repeats it, that He may recompense those who believed and did good works with justice; and those who disbelieved, for them is a drink of hot water, and painful punishment, for that they disbelieved.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِی جَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ ضِیَاۤءࣰ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ نُورࣰا وَقَدَّرَهُۥ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعۡلَمُوا۟ عَدَدَ ٱلسِّنِینَ وَٱلۡحِسَابَۚ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ذَ ٰلِكَ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ یُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡءَایَـٰتِ لِقَوۡمࣲ یَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٥

He is the one who made the sun a light, and the moon a light, and made phases for it, that you may know the number of the years and the reckoning; God created that not except with the truth. He details the signs to people who know.

huwa alladhī jaʿala l-shamsa ḍiyāan wal-qamara nūran waqaddarahu manāzila litaʿlamū ʿadada l-sinīna wal-ḥisāba mā khalaqa l-lahu dhālika illā bil-ḥaqi yufaṣṣilu l-āyāti liqawmin yaʿlamūn

إِنَّ فِی ٱخۡتِلَـٰفِ ٱلَّیۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَءَایَـٰتࣲ لِّقَوۡمࣲ یَتَّقُونَ ۝٦

Indeed, in the alternation of the night and the day, and what God has created in the heavens and the earth, are signs to people who fear.

inna fī ikh'tilāfi al-layli wal-nahāri wamā khalaqa l-lahu fī l-samāwāti wal-arḍi laāyātin liqawmin yattaqūn

Indeed, those who do not hope for Our meeting, and are pleased with the worldly life, and are at ease with it, and those who, they are heedless of Our signs,

inna alladhīna lā yarjūna liqāanā waraḍū bil-ḥayati l-dun'yā wa-iṭ'ma-annū bihā wa-alladhīna hum ʿan āyātinā ghāfilūn

أُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ یَكۡسِبُونَ ۝٨

Those, their abode is the fire for what they have earned.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ یَهۡدِیهِمۡ رَبُّهُم بِإِیمَـٰنِهِمۡۖ تَجۡرِی مِن تَحۡتِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ فِی جَنَّـٰتِ ٱلنَّعِیمِ ۝٩

Indeed, those who believed and did good works, their Lord guides them by their faith; beneath them shall the rivers flow in the Gardens of pleasure.

Their call therein shall be, 'Glory be to You, O God.' And their salutation therein shall be, 'Peace.' And the end of their call shall be, 'Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds.'

2 Punishment of Rejection

۞ وَلَوۡ یُعَجِّلُ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ ٱلشَّرَّ ٱسۡتِعۡجَالَهُم بِٱلۡخَیۡرِ لَقُضِیَ إِلَیۡهِمۡ أَجَلُهُمۡۖ فَنَذَرُ ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یَرۡجُونَ لِقَاۤءَنَا فِی طُغۡیَـٰنِهِمۡ یَعۡمَهُونَ ۝١١

And if God should hasten for mankind the bad as they would hasten the good, their term would surely be fulfilled to them. But We will leave those who do not hope for Our meeting in their immoderation, blindly wandering.

walaw yuʿajjilu l-lahu lilnnāsi l-shara is'tiʿ'jālahum bil-khayri laquḍiya ilayhim ajaluhum fanadharu alladhīna lā yarjūna liqāanā fī ṭugh'yānihim yaʿmahūn

وَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ ٱلضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنۢبِهِۦۤ أَوۡ قَاعِدًا أَوۡ قَاۤىِٕمࣰا فَلَمَّا كَشَفۡنَا عَنۡهُ ضُرَّهُۥ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمۡ یَدۡعُنَاۤ إِلَىٰ ضُرࣲّ مَّسَّهُۥۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ زُیِّنَ لِلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ مَا كَانُوا۟ یَعۡمَلُونَ ۝١٢

And when distress touches man, he calls Us to his side or sitting or standing; then when We have removed from him his distress, he passes on as though he had not called on Us to a distress that touched him. Thus is beautified to the extravagant what they used to do.

وَلَقَدۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا ٱلۡقُرُونَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا۟ وَجَاۤءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَیِّنَـٰتِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ لِیُؤۡمِنُوا۟ۚ كَذَ ٰلِكَ نَجۡزِی ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ ۝١٣

And verily, We destroyed the generations before you when they did wrong, and there came to them their messengers with the clear proofs, and they were not to believe. Thus We reward the sinful people.

Then We made you vicegerents in the earth after them, that We may see how you do.

thumma jaʿalnākum khalāifa fī l-arḍi min baʿdihim linanẓura kayfa taʿmalūn

وَإِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ءَایَاتُنَا بَیِّنَـٰتࣲ قَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ لَا یَرۡجُونَ لِقَاۤءَنَا ٱئۡتِ بِقُرۡءَانٍ غَیۡرِ هَـٰذَاۤ أَوۡ بَدِّلۡهُۚ قُلۡ مَا یَكُونُ لِیۤ أَنۡ أُبَدِّلَهُۥ مِن تِلۡقَاۤىِٕ نَفۡسِیۤۖ إِنۡ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا یُوحَىٰۤ إِلَیَّۖ إِنِّیۤ أَخَافُ إِنۡ عَصَیۡتُ رَبِّی عَذَابَ یَوۡمٍ عَظِیمࣲ ۝١٥

And when Our signs are recited to them, clear proofs, those who hope not for Our meeting say, 'Bring a Quran other than this; or change it.' Say, 'It is not for me that I change it from the direction of my soul; I do not follow except what is inspired to me; indeed, I fear, if I rebel against my Lord, the punishment of a great day.'

Say, 'If God had willed, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you. Verily, I have tarried a lifetime amongst you before it; so will you not become intelligent?'

And who is more wrong than he who forges against God a lie, or says His signs are lies? Indeed, the sinners shall not prosper.

faman aẓlamu mimmani if'tarā ʿalā l-lahi kadhiban aw kadhaba biāyātihi innahu lā yuf'liḥu l-muj'rimūn

وَیَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا یَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا یَنفَعُهُمۡ وَیَقُولُونَ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ شُفَعَـٰۤؤُنَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ قُلۡ أَتُنَبِّءُونَ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا لَا یَعۡلَمُ فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَلَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَـٰلَىٰ عَمَّا یُشۡرِكُونَ ۝١٨

And they serve besides God what neither harms them nor profits them, and they say, 'These are our intercessors with God.' Say, 'Do you inform God of what He does not know in the heavens and the earth? Glory be to Him and high is He from what they associate.

And mankind was not except one nation, then they disagreed; and if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, surely it would have been decided between them concerning that in which they disagree.

And they say, 'Unless a sign is sent down upon him from his Lord?' So say, 'The unseen is only for God; so wait, indeed, I am with you of those who wait.'

3 Merciful Dealing

وَإِذَاۤ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلنَّاسَ رَحۡمَةࣰ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ضَرَّاۤءَ مَسَّتۡهُمۡ إِذَا لَهُم مَّكۡرࣱ فِیۤ ءَایَاتِنَاۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَسۡرَعُ مَكۡرًاۚ إِنَّ رُسُلَنَا یَكۡتُبُونَ مَا تَمۡكُرُونَ ۝٢١

And when We have let mankind taste mercy after distress has touched them, lo, they have a plot against Our signs. Say, God is more swift in plotting.' Indeed, Our messengers write down what you plot.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِی یُسَیِّرُكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِۖ حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا كُنتُمۡ فِی ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَجَرَیۡنَ بِهِم بِرِیحࣲ طَیِّبَةࣲ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِهَا جَاۤءَتۡهَا رِیحٌ عَاصِفࣱ وَجَاۤءَهُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانࣲ وَظَنُّوۤا۟ أَنَّهُمۡ أُحِیطَ بِهِمۡ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِینَ لَهُ ٱلدِّینَ لَىِٕنۡ أَنجَیۡتَنَا مِنۡ هَـٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِینَ ۝٢٢

He is the one who makes you travel in the land and the sea, until when you are in the ships, and they sail with them with a good wind, and they rejoice in it, there comes to it a violent wind, and there comes to them the wave from every place, and they think that they are encompassed with them; they call on God, sincere in religion to Him, 'If you save us from this, we will surely be of those who thank.'

But when He has saved them, lo, they are insolent in the earth without right. O mankind! Your insolence is only against yourselves; the provision of the worldly life, then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.

The similitude of the worldly life is only like water which We send down from the sky, and the plants of the earth, from which mankind and cattle eat are mingled with it; until when the earth takes its gilding and is adorned, and its people think that they have power over it. Our command comes to it by night or day, and We make it mown down, as though it had not yesterday been rich. Thus We detail the signs for people who think.

And those who have earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is like it; and abasement shall cover them. They shall not have any protector from God; as if their faces were covered with pieces of the night, in darkness; those are the fellows of the fire, they shall dwell in it forever.

And the day We gather them all together then We will say to those who associated partners, 'Your place, you and your partners.' And We will part them; and their partners will say, 'Not us you were serving.

4 Uniqueness of Divine Gifts

قُلۡ مَن یَرۡزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمَّن یَمۡلِكُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرَ وَمَن یُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَیَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَیِّتِ وَیُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَیِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَیِّ وَمَن یُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَۚ فَسَیَقُولُونَ ٱللَّهُۚ فَقُلۡ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ۝٣١

Say, 'Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Or who has power over hearing and sight? And who brings forth the living from the dead, and brings forth the dead from the living? And who governs the affair?' And they will say, 'God.' Then say, 'Do you not then fear?'

qul man yarzuqukum mina l-samāi wal-arḍi amman yamliku l-samʿa wal-abṣāra waman yukh'riju l-ḥaya mina l-mayiti wayukh'riju l-mayita mina l-ḥayi waman yudabbiru l-amra fasayaqūlūna l-lahu faqul afalā tattaqūn

فَذَ ٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡحَقُّۖ فَمَاذَا بَعۡدَ ٱلۡحَقِّ إِلَّا ٱلضَّلَـٰلُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصۡرَفُونَ ۝٣٢

That then is God, your Lord, the Truth. And what is there after the truth but error? How then are you turned away?

fadhālikumu l-lahu rabbukumu l-ḥaqu famādhā baʿda l-ḥaqi illā l-ḍalālu fa-annā tuṣ'rafūn

كَذَ ٰلِكَ حَقَّتۡ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِینَ فَسَقُوۤا۟ أَنَّهُمۡ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝٣٣

Thus is the word of your Lord proved true upon those who disobeyed, that they do not believe.

kadhālika ḥaqqat kalimatu rabbika ʿalā alladhīna fasaqū annahum lā yu'minūn

قُلۡ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَاۤىِٕكُم مَّن یَبۡدَؤُا۟ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُۥۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ یَبۡدَؤُا۟ ٱلۡخَلۡقَ ثُمَّ یُعِیدُهُۥۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ ۝٣٤

Say, 'Is there of your associates who originates creation, then repeats it?' Say, 'God originates creation, then repeats it. So how are you turned away?

qul hal min shurakāikum man yabda-u l-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhu quli l-lahu yabda-u l-khalqa thumma yuʿīduhu fa-annā tu'fakūn

قُلۡ هَلۡ مِن شُرَكَاۤىِٕكُم مَّن یَهۡدِیۤ إِلَى ٱلۡحَقِّۚ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ یَهۡدِی لِلۡحَقِّۗ أَفَمَن یَهۡدِیۤ إِلَى ٱلۡحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن یُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لَّا یَهِدِّیۤ إِلَّاۤ أَن یُهۡدَىٰۖ فَمَا لَكُمۡ كَیۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ ۝٣٥

Say, 'Is there of your associates who guides to the truth?' Say, 'God guides to the truth.' Is then He who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who guides not except he is guided? What ails you then, how do you judge?

qul hal min shurakāikum man yahdī ilā l-ḥaqi quli l-lahu yahdī lil'ḥaqqi afaman yahdī ilā l-ḥaqi aḥaqqu an yuttabaʿa amman lā yahiddī illā an yuh'dā famā lakum kayfa taḥkumūn

وَمَا یَتَّبِعُ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ إِلَّا ظَنًّاۚ إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا یُغۡنِی مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَیۡءًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِیمُۢ بِمَا یَفۡعَلُونَ ۝٣٦

And most of them follow only conjecture; indeed, conjecture does not avail anything against the truth; indeed, God knows what they do.

wamā yattabiʿu aktharuhum illā ẓannan inna l-ẓana lā yugh'nī mina l-ḥaqi shayan inna l-laha ʿalīmun bimā yafʿalūn

وَمَا كَانَ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ أَن یُفۡتَرَىٰ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَـٰكِن تَصۡدِیقَ ٱلَّذِی بَیۡنَ یَدَیۡهِ وَتَفۡصِیلَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَا رَیۡبَ فِیهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ ۝٣٧

And this, the Quran, is not that it could be forged besides God; but it verifies that which was before it, and details the Book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds.

wamā kāna hādhā l-qur'ānu an yuf'tarā min dūni l-lahi walākin taṣdīqa alladhī bayna yadayhi watafṣīla l-kitābi lā rayba fīhi min rabbi l-ʿālamīn

Or they say, 'He has forged it.' Say, 'Then bring a chapter like it, and call whoever you can besides God, if you are truthful.'

am yaqūlūna if'tarāhu qul fatū bisūratin mith'lihi wa-id'ʿū mani is'taṭaʿtum min dūni l-lahi in kuntum ṣādiqīn

Nay, they call that a lie, the knowledge of which they cannot encompass and its interpretation has not yet come to them; Thus denied those before them, then see how was the end of the wrongdoers.

And of them is he who believes in it; and of them is he who does not believe in it; and your Lord knows best of the corrupters.

5 Reprobates' Punishment

وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّی عَمَلِی وَلَكُمۡ عَمَلُكُمۡۖ أَنتُم بَرِیۤءُونَ مِمَّاۤ أَعۡمَلُ وَأَنَا۠ بَرِیۤءࣱ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٤١

And if they call you a liar, then say, 'For me my work, and for you your work; you are clear of what I work, and I am clear of what you work.'

wa-in kadhabūka faqul lī ʿamalī walakum ʿamalukum antum barīūna mimmā aʿmalu wa-anā barīon mimmā taʿmalūn

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن یَسۡتَمِعُونَ إِلَیۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ وَلَوۡ كَانُوا۟ لَا یَعۡقِلُونَ ۝٤٢

And of them are those who listen to you, but can you make the deaf hear, even though they are not intelligent?

wamin'hum man yastamiʿūna ilayka afa-anta tus'miʿu l-ṣuma walaw kānū lā yaʿqilūn

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن یَنظُرُ إِلَیۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهۡدِی ٱلۡعُمۡیَ وَلَوۡ كَانُوا۟ لَا یُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٤٣

And of them are those who look at you, but can you guide the blind, though they do not see?

wamin'hum man yanẓuru ilayka afa-anta tahdī l-ʿum'ya walaw kānū lā yub'ṣirūn

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَیۡءࣰا وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ یَظۡلِمُونَ ۝٤٤

Indeed, God does not wrong mankind anything; but mankind wrong themselves.

inna l-laha lā yaẓlimu l-nāsa shayan walākinna l-nāsa anfusahum yaẓlimūn

وَیَوۡمَ یَحۡشُرُهُمۡ كَأَن لَّمۡ یَلۡبَثُوۤا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ یَتَعَارَفُونَ بَیۡنَهُمۡۚ قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَاۤءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهۡتَدِینَ ۝٤٥

And the day He will gather them, as though they had not tarried except an hour of the day, they shall know each other. Lost are those who called the meeting with God a lie, and were not guided.

wayawma yaḥshuruhum ka-an lam yalbathū illā sāʿatan mina l-nahāri yataʿārafūna baynahum qad khasira alladhīna kadhabū biliqāi l-lahi wamā kānū muh'tadīn

And whether We show you some of that which We promise them or We cause you to die, then to Us is their return, then God is witness over what they do.

And for every nation, a messenger; and when their messenger comes, it is decided between them with justice, and they are not wronged.

walikulli ummatin rasūlun fa-idhā jāa rasūluhum quḍiya baynahum bil-qis'ṭi wahum lā yuẓ'lamūn

وَیَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ۝٤٨

And they say, 'When is this promise, if you are truthful?'

wayaqūlūna matā hādhā l-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīn

قُل لَّاۤ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِی ضَرࣰّا وَلَا نَفۡعًا إِلَّا مَا شَاۤءَ ٱللَّهُۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۚ إِذَا جَاۤءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَلَا یَسۡتَءۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةࣰ وَلَا یَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ ۝٤٩

Say, 'I have no power over harm nor profit to myself, except what God wills. For every nation a term; when their term comes, then they cannot put back an hour nor can they precede.'

Say, 'Have you seen? If His punishment comes to you by night or by day, what of it do the sinners seek to hasten?'

Is it then when it has fallen you will believe in it? Now? And certainly you were seeking to hasten it.

athumma idhā mā waqaʿa āmantum bihi āl'āna waqad kuntum bihi tastaʿjilūn

ثُمَّ قِیلَ لِلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ هَلۡ تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ ۝٥٢

Then it shall be said to those who have done wrong, 'Taste the punishment of eternity. Are you recompensed except for what you used to earn?'

And they ask you to inform, 'Is it true?' Say, 'Yes, by my Lord. Indeed, it is surely true, and you cannot escape.'

6 Mercy takes Precedence of Punishment

وَلَوۡ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ نَفۡسࣲ ظَلَمَتۡ مَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَٱفۡتَدَتۡ بِهِۦۗ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلۡعَذَابَۖ وَقُضِیَ بَیۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا یُظۡلَمُونَ ۝٥٤

And if every soul that has done wrong had whatever is in the earth, it would give it as a ransom. They will manifest repentance when they see the punishment; and it shall be decided between them with justice, and they shall not be wronged.

Lo, indeed, what is in the heavens and the earth is for God. Lo, indeed, the promise of God is true. But most of them do not know.

alā inna lillahi mā fī l-samāwāti wal-arḍi alā inna waʿda l-lahi ḥaqqun walākinna aktharahum lā yaʿlamūn

He gives life and causes death, and to Him you will be returned.

O mankind! Verily there has come to you warning from your Lord, and healing for what is in the breasts, and guidance and mercy to the believers.

Say, 'In the grace of God and in His mercy, so in that let them rejoice.' It is better than what they collect.

Say, 'Have you seen what God has sent down for you of provision, and you have made of it unlawful and lawful?' Say, 'Does God permit you, or do you forge against God?'

And what will those who forge the lie against God think on the Day of Resurrection? Indeed, God is surely Lord of grace to mankind, but most of them do not give thanks.

7 Good News for Faithful

وَمَا تَكُونُ فِی شَأۡنࣲ وَمَا تَتۡلُوا۟ مِنۡهُ مِن قُرۡءَانࣲ وَلَا تَعۡمَلُونَ مِنۡ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَیۡكُمۡ شُهُودًا إِذۡ تُفِیضُونَ فِیهِۚ وَمَا یَعۡزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثۡقَالِ ذَرَّةࣲ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءِ وَلَاۤ أَصۡغَرَ مِن ذَ ٰلِكَ وَلَاۤ أَكۡبَرَ إِلَّا فِی كِتَـٰبࣲ مُّبِینٍ ۝٦١

And you are not in any business, nor do you recite of it any Quran, nor do you do any work, except We are witnesses over you when you are engaged in it; and an atom’s weight in the earth nor in the heaven does not escape from your Lord, nor smaller than that nor greater, except in a clear Book.

For them are glad tidings in the worldly life and in the hereafter; there is no change to the words of God. That, it is the great success.

And let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, the honour belongs altogether to God; He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

walā yaḥzunka qawluhum inna l-ʿizata lillahi jamīʿan huwa l-samīʿu l-ʿalīm

أَلَاۤ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَمَن فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَمَا یَتَّبِعُ ٱلَّذِینَ یَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُرَكَاۤءَۚ إِن یَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا یَخۡرُصُونَ ۝٦٦

Lo, indeed, to God belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth. And those who call on other than God do not follow associates. They follow not except conjecture, and they do not except lie.

alā inna lillahi man fī l-samāwāti waman fī l-arḍi wamā yattabiʿu alladhīna yadʿūna min dūni l-lahi shurakāa in yattabiʿūna illā l-ẓana wa-in hum illā yakhruṣūn

He is the one who made the night for you that you may rest in it, and the day to see; indeed, in that surely are signs to people who hear.

They say, 'God has taken a son.' Glory be to Him. He is the Rich. His is whatever is in the heavens, and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority for this. Do you say against God what you do not know?

qālū ittakhadha l-lahu waladan sub'ḥānahu huwa l-ghaniyu lahu mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi in ʿindakum min sul'ṭānin bihādhā ataqūlūna ʿalā l-lahi mā lā taʿlamūn

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ یَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ لَا یُفۡلِحُونَ ۝٦٩

Say, 'Indeed, those who forge against God the lie shall not prosper.'

A provision in the world, then to Us is their return, then We will make them taste the severe punishment for that they disbelieved.

Recite to them the news of Noah, when he said to his people, 'O my people! If my stay is grievous on you, and my reminding of the signs of God, then on God I rely. So put together your affair and your associates; then let not your affair be in doubt for you; then decide unto me, and do not give me respite.

And if you turn away, then I have not asked you for any reward; my reward is only on God, and I am commanded to be of those who submit.'

But they called him a liar; so We saved him, and those who were with him in the ship; and We made them vicegerents, and We drowned those who said Our signs were lies; then see how was the end of those who were warned.

Then We raised up after him messengers to their people, and they came to them with the clear proofs; but they were not to believe in what they had called a lie before. Thus We set a stamp on the hearts of the transgressors.

And when they threw down, Moses said, 'What you have brought is magic. Indeed, God will soon make it vain; indeed, God rights not the work of those who do corruption.

But none believed Moses, except offspring of his people, for fear of Pharaoh and their chiefs; lest he should afflict them. And indeed, Pharaoh was high in the earth, and indeed, he was of the extravagant.
