أَكَانَ Is it لِلنَّاسِ for the mankind عَجَبًا a wonder أَنْ that أَوْحَيْنَآ We revealed إِلَىٰ to رَجُلٍۢ a man مِّنْهُمْ from (among) them أَنْ that أَنذِرِ Warn ٱلنَّاسَ the mankind وَبَشِّرِ and give glad tidings ٱلَّذِينَ (to) those who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe أَنَّ that لَهُمْ for them قَدَمَ (will be) a respectable position صِدْقٍ (will be) a respectable position عِندَ near رَبِّهِمْ ۗ their Lord قَالَ Said ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ the disbelievers إِنَّ Indeed هَـٰذَا this لَسَـٰحِرٌۭ (is) surely a magician مُّبِينٌ obvious ٢
Have the people been amazed that We revealed [revelation] to a man from among them, [saying], "Warn mankind and give good tidings to those who believe that they will have a [firm] precedence of honor with their Lord"? [But] the disbelievers say, "Indeed, this is an obvious magician."

إِلَيْهِ To Him مَرْجِعُكُمْ (will be) your return جَمِيعًۭا ۖ [all] وَعْدَ Promise ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah حَقًّا ۚ (is) true إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He يَبْدَؤُا۟ originates ٱلْخَلْقَ the creation ثُمَّ then يُعِيدُهُۥ He repeats it لِيَجْزِىَ that He may reward ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believed وَعَمِلُوا۟ and did ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ the good deeds بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ in justice وَٱلَّذِينَ But those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved لَهُمْ for them شَرَابٌۭ (will be) a drink مِّنْ of حَمِيمٍۢ boiling fluids وَعَذَابٌ and a punishment أَلِيمٌۢ painful بِمَا because كَانُوا۟ they used (to) يَكْفُرُونَ disbelieve ٤

وَإِذَا And when مَسَّ touches ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ the man ٱلضُّرُّ the affliction دَعَانَا he calls Us لِجَنۢبِهِۦٓ (lying) on his side أَوْ or قَاعِدًا sitting أَوْ or قَآئِمًۭا standing فَلَمَّا But when كَشَفْنَا We remove عَنْهُ from him ضُرَّهُۥ his affliction مَرَّ he passes on كَأَن as if he لَّمْ (had) not يَدْعُنَآ called Us إِلَىٰ for ضُرٍّۢ (the) affliction مَّسَّهُۥ ۚ (that) touched him كَذَٰلِكَ Thus زُيِّنَ (it) is made fair seeming لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ to the extravagant مَا what كَانُوا۟ they used (to) يَعْمَلُونَ do ١٢
And when affliction touches man, he calls upon Us, whether lying on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues [in disobedience] as if he had never called upon Us to [remove] an affliction that touched him.
