۞وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ سُعِدُواْ فَفِي ٱلۡجَنَّةِ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ رَبُّكَۖ عَطَآءً غَيۡرَ مَجۡذُوذٖ 108

108        And those who are blessed, they will be in  Paradise, residing there forever as long as the heaven and the earth endure, except as your Creator wills. It is a non-ending (i.e. a permanent) gift.

فَلَا تَكُ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّمَّا يَعۡبُدُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ مَا يَعۡبُدُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَعۡبُدُ ءَابَآؤُهُم مِّن قَبۡلُۚ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمۡ نَصِيبَهُمۡ غَيۡرَ مَنقُوصٖ 109

109        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Don’t be in doubt regarding what they worship. Their worshipping is nothing but just like the worshipping of their forefathers before (them). And, indeed, We will repay them in full their portion undiminished.

وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ فَٱخۡتُلِفَ فِيهِۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٖ 110

110        Indeed, We gave the Book to Musa ( peace be upon him ) , so they differed about it (as they are differing about the Quran, hence don’t be sad). If your Creator had not decided this in advance (that they will get major punishment in the Hereafter), the matter would have been settled between them. And (in spite of all proofs) indeed, they are in grave doubt concerning it (i.e. the Quran or the occurrence of the torment).

وَإِنَّ كُلّٗا لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمۡ رَبُّكَ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ 111

111        And, indeed, your Creator will reward each of them in full according to their deeds. Surely He is Well-Acquainted with what they do.

فَٱسۡتَقِمۡ كَمَآ أُمِرۡتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطۡغَوۡاْۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ 112

112        Hence, remain firm (on the Right Path) as you have been commanded and also those who have turned in repentance with you should remain firm (to Allah). And don’t transgress (the Islamic limits). Indeed, He is All-Seer of what you do.

وَلَا تَرۡكَنُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ 113

113        And don’t lean towards the wrong-doers, lest the Fire should touch you, and then you will have no protector besides Allah, nor you would be helped.

وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ طَرَفَيِ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَزُلَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّيۡلِۚ إِنَّ ٱلۡحَسَنَٰتِ يُذۡهِبۡنَ ٱلسَّيِّ‍َٔاتِۚ ذَٰلِكَ ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلذَّٰكِرِينَ 114

114        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] And you perform Salat at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night. Indeed, the good deeds erase the evil deeds. This is an advice for those who intend to seek advice.

وَٱصۡبِرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ 115

115        And be patient. Indeed, Allah does not waste the reward of the good-doers.

فَلَوۡلَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرُونِ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ أُوْلُواْ بَقِيَّةٖ يَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡفَسَادِ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا مِّمَّنۡ أَنجَيۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡۗ وَٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مَآ أُتۡرِفُواْ فِيهِ وَكَانُواْ مُجۡرِمِينَ 116

116        So why were there not good people among the previous com-munities who forbade spreading mischief in the land, with the ex-ception of a few of them whom We saved among them? The wrong-doers were (totally) absorbed in the luxuries they were given and they were criminals.

وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ بِظُلۡمٖ وَأَهۡلُهَا مُصۡلِحُونَ 117

117        And your Creator would never destroy the towns unjustly when its residents are engaged in reforming (themselves and others by good deeds).

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّاسَ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۖ وَلَا يَزَالُونَ مُخۡتَلِفِينَ 118

118        And if Allah had willed, He could have made all mankind follow one religion (i.e. Islam). (Due to some hidden wisdom, Allah did not will so, therefore differences took place). Hence, there will be always differences among people,

إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَۚ وَلِذَٰلِكَ خَلَقَهُمۡۗ وَتَمَّتۡ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لَأَمۡلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجۡمَعِينَ 119

119        Except he on whom your Creator has showered His Mercy. (And don’t be sad or surprised about the difference). Allah has created mankind for this purpose. (And the reason for creating differences is) so that the Word or Promise of your Creator is fulfilled. (That promise is) Allah shall, surely, fill Hell with (some) jinn and (some) men all together.

وَكُلّٗا نَّقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَۚ وَجَآءَكَ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَمَوۡعِظَةٞ وَذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ 120

120        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] we relate the stories of the messengers to you to give your heart strength and satisfaction with it. And in this chapter (of the Quran) truth has also come to you and also an advice and reminder for the believers.

وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنَّا عَٰمِلُونَ 121

121        And say to those who don’t believe: “Act according to your way and thinking and We are acting according to Ours.

وَٱنتَظِرُوٓاْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ 122

122        “And you wait! Indeed, we are waiting too.”

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِلَيۡهِ يُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ كُلُّهُۥ فَٱعۡبُدۡهُ وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَيۡهِۚ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ 123

123        And only Allah has Knowledge of the Unseen in the heavens and the earth, and all affairs will return to Him (for decision). Hence, worship Him and put your trust in Him. And your Creator is not unaware of what you do.

الٓرۚ تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ 1

1        Alif-Lam-Ra. (Only Allah knows their meanings). These are the Verses of the Clear Book (i.e. it makes lawful and un-lawful things clear). 

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَٰنًا عَرَبِيّٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ 2

2        Indeed, We sent it down [to you (Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him))] as an Arabic Quran so that you understand it (first, then others understand it through you).

نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ هَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلۡغَٰفِلِينَ 3

3        We describe to you [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] the best of the stories, since We have revealed to you this Quran, and before this you knew nothing about it (the Quran).

إِذۡ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّي رَأَيۡتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوۡكَبٗا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ رَأَيۡتُهُمۡ لِي سَٰجِدِينَ 4

4        (Remember) when Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  said to his father: “O my father! Indeed, I saw (in a dream) that eleven stars and the sun and the moon are prostrating to me.”
