فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡلَكِينَ 48

48        So they denied both of them and became of those who were destroyed. 

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ 49

49        And, indeed, We gave Musa ( peace be upon him )  the Scripture, so that they may be guided.

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥٓ ءَايَةٗ وَءَاوَيۡنَٰهُمَآ إِلَىٰ رَبۡوَةٖ ذَاتِ قَرَارٖ وَمَعِينٖ 50

50        And We made the son of Maryam and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on a high ground, a secure place with flowing streams.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُواْ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَٱعۡمَلُواْ صَٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ 51

51        O you messengers! Eat from the lawful things and do good deeds (i.e. one cannot do good deed without lawful eating. This instruction is not for messengers only but for their followers too). I am All-Knower of what you do.

وَإِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمۡ فَٱتَّقُونِ 52

52        And, indeed, this is your religion and it is one and the same religion. (The essence of this is) that I am your Creator, so fear Me.

فَتَقَطَّعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُم بَيۡنَهُمۡ زُبُرٗاۖ كُلُّ حِزۡبِۢ بِمَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ فَرِحُونَ 53

53        But people divided their religion among themselves into many sects. Every group is happy and content with its own sect.

فَذَرۡهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَتِهِمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ 54

54        So leave them in their confused ignorance for a (limited) time.

أَيَحۡسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِۦ مِن مَّالٖ وَبَنِينَ 55

55        Do they think that We increase them in their children and wealth,

نُسَارِعُ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِۚ بَل لَّا يَشۡعُرُونَ 56

56        (And by doing so) We are hastening for them with good things? (It is only a test for them). In fact, they don’t understand it.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ هُم مِّنۡ خَشۡيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشۡفِقُونَ 57

57        Indeed, those who tremble with fear of their Creator;

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِ‍َٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ يُؤۡمِنُونَ 58

58        And those who believe in the revelations of their Creator,

وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ 59

59        And those who don’t join any one (in worship) as partners with their Creator;

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَواْ وَّقُلُوبُهُمۡ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ رَٰجِعُونَ 60

60        And those who give that which they give (i.e. charity) and their hearts tremble with the thought that they have to return to their Creator (for accountability).

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَهُمۡ لَهَا سَٰبِقُونَ 61

61        Those are people who hasten in the good deeds and they are foremost in them (e.g. performing obligatory Salat in early and fixed time etc).

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ وَلَدَيۡنَا كِتَٰبٞ يَنطِقُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ 62

62        (And these activities are not difficult, since) We don’t burden any person except according to his capacity. (These activities also have good reward, since) We have a Book with Us which describes everything justly and people will not be wronged (at all).

بَلۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ فِي غَمۡرَةٖ مِّنۡ هَٰذَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلٞ مِّن دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ هُمۡ لَهَا عَٰمِلُونَ 63

63        In fact, the hearts of the disbelievers are heedless to this (i.e. the Quran) and they engage in other (evil) activities which they (continuously) do.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَخَذۡنَا مُتۡرَفِيهِم بِٱلۡعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمۡ يَجۡ‍َٔرُونَ 64

64        Until when We seize their well-to-do people with punishment, then they start crying bitterly.

لَا تَجۡ‍َٔرُواْ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ 65

65        Don’t cry bitterly today. Certainly, you shall not be helped against Us.

قَدۡ كَانَتۡ ءَايَٰتِي تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَعۡقَٰبِكُمۡ تَنكِصُونَ 66

66        Indeed, Our Verses were recited to you, even then you used to turn back on your heels,

مُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَٰمِرٗا تَهۡجُرُونَ 67

67        With arrogance and talking evil about the Quran in their private meetings at night.
