ٱلۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلۡحَقُّ لِلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ وَكَانَ يَوۡمًا عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَسِيرٗا 26

26        That Day the sovereignty will be true (sovereignty) and for the Most Gracious (Allah) only, and that Day will be very hard for the disbelievers.

وَيَوۡمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيۡهِ يَقُولُ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي ٱتَّخَذۡتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلٗا 27

27        And that Day the wrong-doer, while biting his hand, will say: “Oh! Would that I had followed the Path of the messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!

يَٰوَيۡلَتَىٰ لَيۡتَنِي لَمۡ أَتَّخِذۡ فُلَانًا خَلِيلٗا 28

28        “Woe to me! Would that I had never made so-and-so my close friend!

لَّقَدۡ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ ٱلذِّكۡرِ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ جَآءَنِيۗ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ خَذُولٗا 29

29        “He certainly led me astray from the Reminder (the Quran) after it had come to me. And Satan always betrays a man (at the time of need).”

وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي ٱتَّخَذُواْ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ مَهۡجُورٗا 30

30        And the messenger [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] will say: “O my Creator! Indeed, my people deserted this Quran (neither listened to it, nor tried to understand its meanings, nor followed its teaching).”

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوّٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيٗا وَنَصِيرٗا 31

31        And thus We made enemies for every Prophet from the criminal people. And your Creator is Suffi-cient as a Guide and Helper.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ جُمۡلَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَۖ وَرَتَّلۡنَٰهُ تَرۡتِيلٗا 32

32        And the disbelievers say: “Why is not the Quran sent down to you [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] altogether as one unit?” Thus (We sent down in parts) so that We may strengthen your heart with it and We have recited it to you at a slow pace. (Also Surah Al-Isra:106)

وَلَا يَأۡتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَأَحۡسَنَ تَفۡسِيرًا 33

33        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] What-ever example they bring to you, We shall reveal to you the truth and a superior explanation of it (this is also the wisdom of sending the Quran in parts).

ٱلَّذِينَ يُحۡشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمۡ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ شَرّٞ مَّكَانٗا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلٗا 34

34        Those people who will be gathered to Hell on their faces, they will have an evil place to reside and they are the most astray from the (Straight) Path.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلۡنَا مَعَهُۥٓ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ وَزِيرٗا 35

35        And, indeed, We gave Musa ( peace be upon him )  the Scripture (Taurat) and made his brother, Harun ( peace be upon him )  a helper for him.

فَقُلۡنَا ٱذۡهَبَآ إِلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا فَدَمَّرۡنَٰهُمۡ تَدۡمِيرٗا 36

36        So We said: “Both of you go to the people who have denied Our proofs”. (They went and guided but the people denied them). Hence, We destroyed them completely.

وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُواْ ٱلرُّسُلَ أَغۡرَقۡنَٰهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ لِلنَّاسِ ءَايَةٗۖ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا 37

37        And We drowned the people of Nuh ( peace be upon him )  when they denied their messengers, and made them a lesson for mankind (in this world) and We have prepared a painful torment for the wrong-doers (in the Hereafter).

وَعَادٗا وَثَمُودَاْ وَأَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلرَّسِّ وَقُرُونَۢا بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرٗا 38

38        And also A’d (people) and Thamud (people), and the dwellers of well (scholars differ about them. Imam Tabari said that they are same as described in Surah Al-Buruj-Ibn Kathir), and many communities in between.

وَكُلّٗا ضَرَبۡنَا لَهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلَۖ وَكُلّٗا تَبَّرۡنَا تَتۡبِيرٗا 39

39        And for each of them We gave many examples. (i.e. proofs, which they denied). And We destroyed them all completely.

وَلَقَدۡ أَتَوۡاْ عَلَى ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلَّتِيٓ أُمۡطِرَتۡ مَطَرَ ٱلسَّوۡءِۚ أَفَلَمۡ يَكُونُواْ يَرَوۡنَهَاۚ بَلۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَرۡجُونَ نُشُورٗا 40

40        And, indeed, they have come across the town (during their journey to Syria), on which was rained an evil rain (i.e. people of Lut ( peace be upon him ) ]. Why don’t they see (ponder over) it? In fact, they do not have any hope to be raised after death. 

وَإِذَا رَأَوۡكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي بَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ رَسُولًا 41

41        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] When they see you, they mock at you (stating): “Is this the one (the poor person) whom Allah has sent as a messenger?

إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنۡ ءَالِهَتِنَا لَوۡلَآ أَن صَبَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوۡنَ ٱلۡعَذَابَ مَنۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا 42

42        Had we not been patient and steadfast, he (with his effective speech) would have almost led us astray from our gods.” And they will soon know (in the Hereafter) when they see the torment, who is most astray from the (Right) Path.

أَرَءَيۡتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيۡهِ وَكِيلًا 43

43        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!], Have you seen that person who has made his vain desires as his god? Can you be guardian of such a person?

أَمۡ تَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ يَسۡمَعُونَ أَوۡ يَعۡقِلُونَۚ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا 44

44        Or do you think that most of them hear (the truth) or understand it? (Not at all.) They are rather like cattle. In fact, they are more astray from the Path (than the cattle).

أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيۡفَ مَدَّ ٱلظِّلَّ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهُۥ سَاكِنٗا ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا ٱلشَّمۡسَ عَلَيۡهِ دَلِيلٗا 45

45        Have you not observed (the power of Allah), that He makes the shadow (of standing things) spread over a long distance (at the time of rising of the sun). If (He) willed, He would have made the shadow still but We have made the sun its guide (i.e. to change the size of the shadow).
