وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ 173

173        And, indeed, that Our troops would dominate. (Also Surah Al-Mujadilah:21)

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ 174

174        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Hence turn away from them for a while (i.e. be patient).

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ 175

175        And watch them (till Allah’s torment strikes them), so they shall soon see (the torment),

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ 176

176        Are they hastening for Our torment? 

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ 177

177        Then, when it falls in their courtyard (i.e. near them), it will be an evil morning for those who have been warned!

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ 178

178        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] And turn away from them for a while.

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ 179

179        And watch them, so they shall soon see (the torment).

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 180

180        Glorified is your Creator, the Creator of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute to Him!

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ 181

181        And peace be on the mes-sengers!

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 182

182        And all praise and thanks are due to Allah, the Creator of the universe. (What a beautiful ending of this Surah!)

صٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِي ٱلذِّكۡرِ 1

1        Sad (Only Allah knows its meanings). By the Quran which is full of advices and reminders.

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي عِزَّةٖ وَشِقَاقٖ 2

2        In fact, disbelievers are carried away by false pride and opposition.

كَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن قَرۡنٖ فَنَادَواْ وَّلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٖ 3

3        (This attitude will only harm them, since) We have destroyed many communities before them. And they cried out but that was not the time for escape (from the torment).

وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا سَٰحِرٞ كَذَّابٌ 4

4        And the disbelievers were surprised that a warner has come to them from among themselves, and they said: “He [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] is a magician, a liar.”

أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡأٓلِهَةَ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابٞ 5

5        “Has he merged all the gods into One God? Indeed, it is a very strange thing!”

وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِنۡهُمۡ أَنِ ٱمۡشُواْ وَٱصۡبِرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمۡۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٞ يُرَادُ 6

6        And their leaders walked away (saying): “Go ahead. Remain devoted to your gods. There seems to be a (hidden) objective in it. (He is trying to become our leader).”

مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِي ٱلۡمِلَّةِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخۡتِلَٰقٌ 7

7        “We never heard of this (One-ness of Allah) in earlier religions. This is nothing but a false invention! (Qurtabi)

أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ 8

8        “Have the revelations (of Allah) been sent to him (alone) from among us?” In fact, they are in doubt about Our revelations (the Quran). In fact, they have not yet tasted (Our) torment.

أَمۡ عِندَهُمۡ خَزَآئِنُ رَحۡمَةِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡوَهَّابِ 9

9        Or, do they have the treasures of the Mercy of your Creator, the Almighty, the Benevolent (to distribute it according to their wishes)?

أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبِ 10

10        Or, are they the sovereign of the heavens and the earth and what is between them? Then they should ascend to the heavens with (their) means (to achieve their goal of stopping the revelations).
