We did not create the sky and the earth and what is between them for amusement

21:17

لَوۡ أَرَدۡنَاۤ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوࣰا لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّاۤ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِینَ ۝١٧

Talal Itani (2012)

If We wanted amusement, We could have found it within Us, were We to do so

21:18

بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ فَیَدۡمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقࣱۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡوَیۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ ۝١٨

Talal Itani (2012)

In fact, We hurl the truth against falsehood, and it crushes it, so it vanishes. Woe unto you, for what you describe

bal naqdhifu bil-ḥaqi ʿalā l-bāṭili fayadmaghuhu fa-idhā huwa zāhiqun walakumu l-waylu mimmā taṣifūn

21:19

Talal Itani (2012)

To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth. Those near Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they waver

Talal Itani (2012)

If there were in them gods other than God, they would have gone to ruin. So glory be to God, Lord of the Throne, beyond what they allege

law kāna fīhimā ālihatun illā l-lahu lafasadatā fasub'ḥāna l-lahi rabbi l-ʿarshi ʿammā yaṣifūn

21:23

Talal Itani (2012)

Or have they taken, besides Him, other gods? Say, 'Bring your proof. This is a message for those with me, and a message of those before me.' But most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away

ami ittakhadhū min dūnihi ālihatan qul hātū bur'hānakum hādhā dhik'ru man maʿiya wadhik'ru man qablī bal aktharuhum lā yaʿlamūna l-ḥaqa fahum muʿ'riḍūn

Talal Itani (2012)

We never sent a messenger before you without inspiring him that: 'There is no god but I, so worship Me.'

Talal Itani (2012)

And they say, 'The Most Merciful has taken to himself a son.' Be He glorified; they are but honored servants

21:27

لَا یَسۡبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُم بِأَمۡرِهِۦ یَعۡمَلُونَ ۝٢٧

Talal Itani (2012)

They never speak before He has spoken, and they only act on His command

lā yasbiqūnahu bil-qawli wahum bi-amrihi yaʿmalūn

21:28

یَعۡلَمُ مَا بَیۡنَ أَیۡدِیهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا یَشۡفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنۡ خَشۡیَتِهِۦ مُشۡفِقُونَ ۝٢٨

Talal Itani (2012)

He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves; and they tremble in awe of Him

yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wamā khalfahum walā yashfaʿūna illā limani ir'taḍā wahum min khashyatihi mush'fiqūn

Talal Itani (2012)

And whoever of them says, 'I am a god besides Him,' We will reward him with Hell. Thus We reward the wrongdoers

waman yaqul min'hum innī ilāhun min dūnihi fadhālika najzīhi jahannama kadhālika najzī l-ẓālimīn

21:30

أَوَ لَمۡ یَرَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوۤا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقࣰا فَفَتَقۡنَـٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَاۤءِ كُلَّ شَیۡءٍ حَیٍّۚ أَفَلَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝٣٠

Talal Itani (2012)

Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were one mass, and We tore them apart? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not believe

awalam yara alladhīna kafarū anna l-samāwāti wal-arḍa kānatā ratqan fafataqnāhumā wajaʿalnā mina l-māi kulla shayin ḥayyin afalā yu'minūn

Talal Itani (2012)

And We placed on earth stabilizers, lest it sways with them, and We placed therein signposts and passages, that they may be guided

Talal Itani (2012)

And We made the sky a protected ceiling; yet they turn away from its wonders.

21:33

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِی خَلَقَ ٱلَّیۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلࣱّ فِی فَلَكࣲ یَسۡبَحُونَ ۝٣٣

Talal Itani (2012)

It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in an orbit

21:34

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا لِبَشَرࣲ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ ٱلۡخُلۡدَۖ أَفَإِی۟ن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلۡخَـٰلِدُونَ ۝٣٤

Talal Itani (2012)

We did not grant immortality to any human being before you. Should you die, are they then the immortal

Talal Itani (2012)

Every soul will taste death. We burden you with adversity and prosperity—a test. And to Us you will be returned

Talal Itani (2012)

When those who disbelieve see you, they treat you only with ridicule: 'Is this the one who mentions your gods?' And they reject the mention of the Merciful

Talal Itani (2012)

Messengers before you were also ridiculed, but those who jeered were surrounded by what they had ridiculed

Talal Itani (2012)

We have given these enjoyments, and their ancestors, until time grew long upon them. Do they not see how We gradually reduce the land from its extremities? Are they then the victors

Talal Itani (2012)

And when a breath of your Lord's punishment touches them, they say, 'Woe to us, we were truly wicked.'

Talal Itani (2012)

We will set up the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so that no soul will suffer the least injustice. And even if it be the weight of a mustard-seed, We will bring it up. Sufficient are We as Reckoners
