رَبَّنَا وَأَدۡخِلۡهُمۡ جَنَّٰتِ عَدۡنٍ ٱلَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُمۡ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنۡ ءَابَآئِهِمۡ وَأَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ وَذُرِّيَّٰتِهِمۡۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ 8

8        “Our Creator! And make them enter the Paradise of everlasting Gardens which you have promised them and also their forefathers, their wives and their children who do good deeds. Indeed, you are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” (Also see Surah At-Tur:21)

وَقِهِمُ ٱلسَّيِّ‍َٔاتِۚ وَمَن تَقِ ٱلسَّيِّ‍َٔاتِ يَوۡمَئِذٖ فَقَدۡ رَحِمۡتَهُۥۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ 9

9        “And save them from (the punishment of) sins, and whoever You saved from (the punishment of) sins that Day, you have, indeed, showered Your mercy on him.” And that is the supreme success. 

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُنَادَوۡنَ لَمَقۡتُ ٱللَّهِ أَكۡبَرُ مِن مَّقۡتِكُمۡ أَنفُسَكُمۡ إِذۡ تُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ فَتَكۡفُرُونَ 10

10        Indeed, it will be said to the disbelievers: “Allah’s anger is more than your anger within yourself, when you were invited to the Faith, then you (bluntly) denied (the truth).”

قَالُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَمَتَّنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ وَأَحۡيَيۡتَنَا ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ فَٱعۡتَرَفۡنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا فَهَلۡ إِلَىٰ خُرُوجٖ مِّن سَبِيلٖ 11

11        (The disbelievers will) say: “Our Creator! You have made us die twice (i.e. once before birth in this world, and once after our birth), and you have given us life twice (i.e. one life in this world and one in the Hereafter. But we used to deny the life of the Hereafter). Now we confess our sins. So is there any way to get out (of this Hell-Fire, so that we go back to the worldly life and makeup for our faults)?” (Also see Surah Al-Baqarah:28)

ذَٰلِكُم بِأَنَّهُۥٓ إِذَا دُعِيَ ٱللَّهُ وَحۡدَهُۥ كَفَرۡتُمۡ وَإِن يُشۡرَكۡ بِهِۦ تُؤۡمِنُواْۚ فَٱلۡحُكۡمُ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡعَلِيِّ ٱلۡكَبِيرِ 12

12        (The answer will be: “No”) This is because when Allah Alone was mentioned (i.e. the Oneness of Allah was mentioned), you used to deny it, and when some partners were joined with Him, you believed. So, the Judgement belongs to Allah (Alone), the Most High, the Most Great.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ رِزۡقٗاۚ وَمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ إِلَّا مَن يُنِيبُ 13

13        It is He Who shows you His signs, and sends down provisions for you (through rain) from the sky. And none learns lesson (from these signs) except those who intend to turn (to Allah) in repentance.

فَٱدۡعُواْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَوۡ كَرِهَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ 14

14        (Since the Oneness of Allah is proved by these signs). Hence, worship Allah by fulfilling religious obligations sincerely for Him Only, even though the disbelievers may hate it.

رَفِيعُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتِ ذُو ٱلۡعَرۡشِ يُلۡقِي ٱلرُّوحَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّلَاقِ 15

15        (Allah is) the Owner of High Levels, the Owner of the Throne. He sends revelations by His command to any of His slaves whom He wills, so that he [the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] may warn people of the Day of Meeting (i.e. the Day of Resurrection).

يَوۡمَ هُم بَٰرِزُونَۖ لَا يَخۡفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِنۡهُمۡ شَيۡءٞۚ لِّمَنِ ٱلۡمُلۡكُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡوَٰحِدِ ٱلۡقَهَّارِ 16

16        On that Day when all of them will appear (i.e. come out of the graves), nothing of them will be hidden from Allah. To whom does the kingdom belong this Day? It is Allah’s, the One, the Supreme!

ٱلۡيَوۡمَ تُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۢ بِمَا كَسَبَتۡۚ لَا ظُلۡمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ 17

17        This Day every person shall be rewarded according to his deeds. This Day no injustice (shall be done to anybody). Indeed, Allah is Swift in accountability (of others).

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلۡحَنَاجِرِ كَٰظِمِينَۚ مَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ حَمِيمٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٖ يُطَاعُ 18

18        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] And warn them about the Day which is very near (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) when the hearts will reach the throats (with terror), full of sadness. The wrong-doers will have no friend, nor intercessor that could have any say (or be heard).

يَعۡلَمُ خَآئِنَةَ ٱلۡأَعۡيُنِ وَمَا تُخۡفِي ٱلصُّدُورُ 19

19        Allah knows the cheating of the eyes and all that is concealed in the breasts.

وَٱللَّهُ يَقۡضِي بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَقۡضُونَ بِشَيۡءٍۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ 20

20        And Allah will judge with justice, while those whom they worship besides Allah, don’t have ability nor power to judge anything. Indeed, Allah is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.

۞أَوَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةٗ وَءَاثَارٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٖ 21

21        Have they not travelled in the land to see the end of those (disbelievers) who were before them? They were superior in strength and they left signs in the land (e.g. monuments). But Allah seized them due to their sins and none could protect them from Allah.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ كَانَت تَّأۡتِيهِمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَكَفَرُواْ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ قَوِيّٞ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡعِقَابِ 22

22        That was because the mes-sengers came to them with clear proofs, so they disbelieved in them. Hence, Allah seized them (with punishment). Indeed, Allah is All-Strong, Severe in Punishment.

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بِ‍َٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ 23

23        And, indeed, We sent Musa ( peace be upon him )with Our commands and clear proofs (miracles),

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَقَٰرُونَ فَقَالُواْ سَٰحِرٞ كَذَّابٞ 24

24        To Firaun, Hamaan and Qarun, but they called (him): “A magician, a liar!” (Also see Surah Adh-Dhariyat:52 and 53)

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ مِنۡ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَبۡنَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ وَٱسۡتَحۡيُواْ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ وَمَا كَيۡدُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ 25

25        Then, when he brought them the truth from Us, they said: “Kill the sons of those who believe with him and let their women survive (to serve in the household work).” But the strategy of the disbelievers was totally useless [since in the end Musa ( peace be upon him )defeated the disbelievers].

وَقَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ ذَرُونِيٓ أَقۡتُلۡ مُوسَىٰ وَلۡيَدۡعُ رَبَّهُۥٓۖ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُبَدِّلَ دِينَكُمۡ أَوۡ أَن يُظۡهِرَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡفَسَادَ 26

26        And Firaun said: “Leave me alone. I would like to kill Musa ( peace be upon him )and he should call his Creator (for help). I fear that he may change your religion or he may spread mischief in the land.”

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّي عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُم مِّن كُلِّ مُتَكَبِّرٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ 27

27        And Musa ( peace be upon him )said: “Indeed, I seek refuge in my Creator and your Creator from every arrogant who does not believe in the Day of Judgement”.
