ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنَّهُۥ يُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ 6

6        This is because Allah is the Truth and He can give life to the dead, and it is He Who is Able to do all things.

وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡعَثُ مَن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ 7

7        And that the Day of Judgement will definitely occur and there is no doubt about it. And that Allah will definitely resurrect those who are in the graves.

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَٰدِلُ فِي ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖ وَلَا هُدٗى وَلَا كِتَٰبٖ مُّنِيرٖ 8

8        And there are some people who dispute about Allah without any knowledge or guidance or a Book giving light (from Allah),

ثَانِيَ عِطۡفِهِۦ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ لَهُۥ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡيٞۖ وَنُذِيقُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ 9

9        Bending his neck with arro-gance in order to lead others astray from the Path of Allah. There is disgrace for him in this worldly life and We shall make him taste the tor-ment of burning fire on the Day of Judgement. (Also Surah Luqman:7)

ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاكَ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيۡسَ بِظَلَّٰمٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ 10

10        That is because of what your hands have sent forth and that Allah is not unjust to (His) slaves. 

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعۡبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرۡفٖۖ فَإِنۡ أَصَابَهُۥ خَيۡرٌ ٱطۡمَأَنَّ بِهِۦۖ وَإِنۡ أَصَابَتۡهُ فِتۡنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهِۦ خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخُسۡرَانُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ 11

11        And some people worship Allah as if they are standing on an edge (i.e. in doubt). If he receives some benefit, he is content with it, but if an adversity comes, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief). He is in a loss in this world as well as in the Hereafter. That is, in fact, an obvious loss.

يَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَٰلُ ٱلۡبَعِيدُ 12

12        He calls besides Allah that which can neither harm him nor benefit him. That is the straying far away.

يَدۡعُواْ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقۡرَبُ مِن نَّفۡعِهِۦۚ لَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ وَلَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡعَشِيرُ 13

13        He is worshiping the one whose harm is nearer than his benefit. Certainly it is an evil patron and certainly it is an evil companion!

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ 14

14        Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do good deeds to the Gardens beneath which rivers flow (in Paradise). Indeed, Allah does what He wills.

مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ ٱللَّهُ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ بِسَبَبٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لۡيَقۡطَعۡ فَلۡيَنظُرۡ هَلۡ يُذۡهِبَنَّ كَيۡدُهُۥ مَا يَغِيظُ 15

15        (In this Verse the helplessness of the disbelievers is described) Whoever thinks that Allah will not help [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and his religion] in this world and in the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the sky (and reach the sky with this rope, if he can) to make the revelations cut off (obviously nobody can do this), then he should ponder whether his plan can stop the thing (i.e. revelations) which made him very angry! (Explanation by Imam Shawkani).

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِۢ بَيِّنَٰتٖ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهۡدِي مَن يُرِيدُ 16

16        And thus We have sent this [the Quran to Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] as clear Verses. And, surely, Allah guides whom He wills.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّٰبِ‍ِٔينَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ وَٱلۡمَجُوسَ وَٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡصِلُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ 17

17        Indeed, those who believe and those who are Jews, and the Sabians, and the Christians and the Majus (who worship fire) and the idolater, Allah will definitely judge between them on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, Allah is Witness over all things.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسۡجُدُۤ لَهُۥۤ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱلشَّمۡسُ وَٱلۡقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡعَذَابُۗ وَمَن يُهِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّكۡرِمٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ۩ 18

18        Don’t you see that whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and all (living) creatures, and many of mankind prostrate themselves to Allah (in a form suitable to their situation)? And there are many people for whom the punishment is justified. And whomsoever Allah disgraces, none can bestow honour on him. Indeed, Allah does what He wills. (Also Surah Al-Isra:44)

۞هَٰذَانِ خَصۡمَانِ ٱخۡتَصَمُواْ فِي رَبِّهِمۡۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ قُطِّعَتۡ لَهُمۡ ثِيَابٞ مِّن نَّارٖ يُصَبُّ مِن فَوۡقِ رُءُوسِهِمُ ٱلۡحَمِيمُ 19

19        These two opponents (i.e. believers and disbelievers) dispute with each other (sometimes verbally and sometimes physically) about their Creator. (This dispute will be settled on the Day of Judgement as follows). So the disbelievers will have garments of fire cut out for them (i.e. fire will be touching their bodies as their garments do), and the boiling water will be poured over their heads.

يُصۡهَرُ بِهِۦ مَا فِي بُطُونِهِمۡ وَٱلۡجُلُودُ 20

20        It will melt whatever is in their bellies, as well as their skins.

وَلَهُم مَّقَٰمِعُ مِنۡ حَدِيدٖ 21

21        And there will be steel ham-mers for them (to punish them).

كُلَّمَآ أَرَادُوٓاْ أَن يَخۡرُجُواْ مِنۡهَا مِنۡ غَمٍّ أُعِيدُواْ فِيهَا وَذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ 22

22        Every time they try to get out from Hell, due to sadness (and exhaustion), they will be pushed back into it, and (it will be) said to them: “Taste the torment of burning (forever)!”

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيهَا مِنۡ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٖ وَلُؤۡلُؤٗاۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمۡ فِيهَا حَرِيرٞ 23

23        Indeed, Allah will admit those who believe and do good deeds to the Gardens, beneath which rivers flow (in Paradise). They will be decorated with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments will be of silk.

وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيِّبِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُدُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ 24

24        (They are honoured because in the worldly life) they were guided to Kalma Tayyab [there is no God but Allah and Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is His messenger] and they were guided to the Path (of Allah) Who is Worthy of all praise.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلۡنَٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلۡعَٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلۡبَادِۚ وَمَن يُرِدۡ فِيهِ بِإِلۡحَادِۢ بِظُلۡمٖ نُّذِقۡهُ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٖ 25

25        Indeed, those who disbelieved and hindered others from the Path of Allah and from Masjid-al-Haram (in Makkah) in which We have made the local residents (living within the limits of Haram) and the visitors equal. And whoever intends to do any form of profanity or partiality (in Haram Shareef), We will make him taste a painful torment.
