أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُفَعَآءَۚ قُلۡ أَوَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يَمۡلِكُونَ شَيۡ‍ٔٗا وَلَا يَعۡقِلُونَ 43

43        Have they taken others as intercessors besides Allah? Say: “Even though they have no power over anything, nor any intelligence (to understand intercession. Then how can they be intercessors)?”

قُل لِّلَّهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ جَمِيعٗاۖ لَّهُۥ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ 44

44        Say: “All (kinds of) interces-sion belong to Allah Alone. He is the Sovereign of the heavens and the earth, and then you shall be brought back to Him. (Hence, fear Him).”

وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُ ٱشۡمَأَزَّتۡ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمۡ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ 45

45        And when Allah Alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who don’t believe in the Hereafter are filled with hatred (from the Oneness of Allah), and when the others (i.e. false gods) are mentioned, they spontaneously rejoice.

قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ عَٰلِمَ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ أَنتَ تَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَ عِبَادِكَ فِي مَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ 46

46        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! The All Knower of the Unseen and the seen! You will judge between your slaves about that which they used to differ.”

وَلَوۡ أَنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا وَمِثۡلَهُۥ مَعَهُۥ لَٱفۡتَدَوۡاْ بِهِۦ مِن سُوٓءِ ٱلۡعَذَابِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۚ وَبَدَا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَمۡ يَكُونُواْ يَحۡتَسِبُونَ 47

47        (And the condition at the time of this judgement will be as follows). And if the wrong-doers own whatever is on earth and additional equal to this, then they offer this to free themselves from the terrible torment on the Day of Resurrection (it will not be accepted). And certain things will become apparent to them from Allah which they never thought about (i.e. severity of torment etc.)

وَبَدَا لَهُمۡ سَيِّ‍َٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ 48

48        And the evils of their deeds will become apparent to them and they will be entrapped in (i.e. torment) what they used to mock at.

فَإِذَا مَسَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ ضُرّٞ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلۡنَٰهُ نِعۡمَةٗ مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمِۢۚ بَلۡ هِيَ فِتۡنَةٞ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ 49

49        When a person faces hardship, he calls Us for help. When We grant him a Favour from Us, he says: “Indeed, I have it because of my knowledge.” In fact, there is a test in it (whether he gives thanks for the favour or not), but most of them don’t know it. 

قَدۡ قَالَهَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَمَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ 50

50        Indeed, people before them said that too, but it did not benefit them, what they used to do (e.g. Qarun). 

فَأَصَابَهُمۡ سَيِّ‍َٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ سَيُصِيبُهُمۡ سَيِّ‍َٔاتُ مَا كَسَبُواْ وَمَا هُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ 51

51        Hence, they suffered for their evil deeds. (This was for the people in the past). And the (present) evil-doers will also suffer for their evil deeds and they will not be able to escape (from Allah’s punishment).

أَوَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡسُطُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ 52

52        Don’t you know that Allah gives provisions in abundance to whom He wills and limits it (for whom He wills). Indeed, there are signs in it for the people who believe.

۞قُلۡ يَٰعِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 53

53        Say (on behalf of Allah): “O my slaves, who have transgressed against themselves (by committing sins)! Don’t despair of the Mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Very-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

وَأَنِيبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ وَأَسۡلِمُواْ لَهُۥ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَكُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ 54

54        (The conditions and method of this forgiveness is) “Turn in repentance to your Creator (with belief) and obey Him constantly before the torment strikes you, after that you will not be helped.

وَٱتَّبِعُوٓاْ أَحۡسَنَ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَكُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ بَغۡتَةٗ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَشۡعُرُونَ 55

55        “And follow the fantastic thing which has been sent down to you from your Creator (i.e. the Quran), before the torment comes to you suddenly, while you are not even aware of it.”

أَن تَقُولَ نَفۡسٞ يَٰحَسۡرَتَىٰ عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنۢبِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ ٱلسَّٰخِرِينَ 56

56        Lest a person should say (on the Day of Judgement). “Alas, I neglected my duties towards Allah. And, in fact, I was one of those who mocked (at the truth).”

أَوۡ تَقُولَ لَوۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هَدَىٰنِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ 57

57        Or (lest) he should say: “If only Allah had guided me, I should have been definitely among the pious persons.” (Also see Surah Al-Anam:148)

أَوۡ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى ٱلۡعَذَابَ لَوۡ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةٗ فَأَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ 58

58        Or (lest) he should say when he sees the torment: “If only I was given another chance (to return to the worldly life), then I should definitely be among the good-doers.”

بَلَىٰ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتِي فَكَذَّبۡتَ بِهَا وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ 59

59        In fact, My revelations came to you, but you denied them and you were arrogant and were among the disbelievers.

وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسۡوَدَّةٌۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوٗى لِّلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ 60

60        And those who lied against Allah, you will see their faces black on the Day of Resurrection. Is there not in Hell the residence for the arrogant (people)?

وَيُنَجِّي ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ بِمَفَازَتِهِمۡ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ ٱلسُّوٓءُ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ 61

61        And Allah will save those who are pious persons due to their good deeds. Evil shall not touch them, nor shall they grieve.

ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَكِيلٞ 62

62        Allah is the Creator of All things, and He is the Guardian over all things.
