Verse 175–189

إِنَّمَا (It is) only ذَٰلِكُمُ that ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan يُخَوِّفُ frightens (you) أَوْلِيَآءَهُۥ (of) his allies فَلَا So (do) not تَخَافُوهُمْ fear them وَخَافُونِ but fear Me إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ١٧٥

That is only Satan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers.

وَلَا And (let) not يَحْزُنكَ grieve you ٱلَّذِينَ those who يُسَـٰرِعُونَ hasten فِى in(to) ٱلْكُفْرِ ۚ [the] disbelief إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they لَن never يَضُرُّوا۟ will harm ٱللَّهَ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا ۗ (in) anything يُرِيدُ intends ٱللَّهُ Allah أَلَّا that not يَجْعَلَ He will set لَهُمْ for them حَظًّۭا any portion فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ the Hereafter وَلَهُمْ And for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment عَظِيمٌ great ١٧٦

And do not be grieved, [O Muḥammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allāh at all. Allāh intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ (have) purchased ٱلْكُفْرَ [the] disbelief بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ with the faith لَن never يَضُرُّوا۟ will they harm ٱللَّهَ Allah شَيْـًۭٔا (in) anything وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ١٧٧

Indeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allāh at all, and for them is a painful punishment.

وَلَا And (let) not يَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieved أَنَّمَا that نُمْلِى We give respite لَهُمْ to them خَيْرٌۭ (is) good لِّأَنفُسِهِمْ ۚ for themselves إِنَّمَا Only نُمْلِى We give respite لَهُمْ to them لِيَزْدَادُوٓا۟ so that they may increase إِثْمًۭا ۚ (in) sins وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌۭ (is) a punishment مُّهِينٌۭ humiliating ١٧٨

And let not those who disbelieve ever think that [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment] it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.

مَّا Not كَانَ is ٱللَّهُ Allah لِيَذَرَ to leave ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers عَلَىٰ on مَآ what أَنتُمْ you (are) عَلَيْهِ in [it] حَتَّىٰ until يَمِيزَ He separates ٱلْخَبِيثَ the evil مِنَ from ٱلطَّيِّبِ ۗ the good وَمَا And not كَانَ is ٱللَّهُ Allah لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ to inform you عَلَى about ٱلْغَيْبِ the unseen وَلَـٰكِنَّ [and] but ٱللَّهَ Allah يَجْتَبِى chooses مِن from رُّسُلِهِۦ His Messengers مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۖ He wills فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ so believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَرُسُلِهِۦ ۚ and His Messengers وَإِن and if تُؤْمِنُوا۟ you believe وَتَتَّقُوا۟ and fear (Allah) فَلَكُمْ then for you أَجْرٌ (is a) reward عَظِيمٌۭ great ١٧٩

Allāh would not leave the believers in that [state] you are in [presently] until He separates the evil from the good. Nor would Allāh reveal to you the unseen. But [instead], Allāh chooses of His messengers whom He wills, so believe in Allāh and His messengers. And if you believe and fear Him, then for you is a great reward.

وَلَا And (let) not يَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَبْخَلُونَ withhold بِمَآ of what ءَاتَىٰهُمُ (has) given them ٱللَّهُ Allah مِن of فَضْلِهِۦ His Bounty هُوَ (that) it خَيْرًۭا (is) good لَّهُم ۖ for them بَلْ Nay هُوَ it شَرٌّۭ (is) bad لَّهُمْ ۖ for them سَيُطَوَّقُونَ Their necks will be encircled مَا (with) what بَخِلُوا۟ they withheld بِهِۦ [with it] يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ (of) [the] Resurrection وَلِلَّهِ And for Allah مِيرَٰثُ (is the) heritage ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ and the earth وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا with what تَعْمَلُونَ you do خَبِيرٌۭ (is) All-Aware ١٨٠

And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allāh has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allāh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.

لَّقَدْ Certainly سَمِعَ heard ٱللَّهُ Allah قَوْلَ (the) saying ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who قَالُوٓا۟ said إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah فَقِيرٌۭ (is) poor وَنَحْنُ while we أَغْنِيَآءُ ۘ (are) rich سَنَكْتُبُ We will record مَا what قَالُوا۟ they said وَقَتْلَهُمُ and their killing ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ the Prophets بِغَيْرِ without حَقٍّۢ (any) right وَنَقُولُ and We will say ذُوقُوا۟ Taste عَذَابَ (the) punishment ٱلْحَرِيقِ (of) the Burning Fire ١٨١

Allāh has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, "Indeed, Allāh is poor, while we are rich." We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.

ذَٰلِكَ That بِمَا (is) because قَدَّمَتْ (of what) sent forth أَيْدِيكُمْ your hands وَأَنَّ and that ٱللَّهَ Allah لَيْسَ is not بِظَلَّامٍۢ unjust لِّلْعَبِيدِ to (His) slaves ١٨٢

That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who قَالُوٓا۟ said إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah عَهِدَ (has) taken promise إِلَيْنَآ from us أَلَّا that not نُؤْمِنَ we (should) believe لِرَسُولٍ in a Messenger حَتَّىٰ until يَأْتِيَنَا he brings to us بِقُرْبَانٍۢ a sacrifice تَأْكُلُهُ consumes it ٱلنَّارُ ۗ the fire قُلْ Say قَدْ Surely جَآءَكُمْ came to you رُسُلٌۭ Messengers مِّن from قَبْلِى before me بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with the clear Signs وَبِٱلَّذِى and with what قُلْتُمْ you speak فَلِمَ So why قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ you killed them إِن if كُنتُمْ you are صَـٰدِقِينَ truthful ١٨٣

[They are] those who said, "Indeed, Allāh has taken our promise not to believe any messenger until he brings us an offering which fire [from heaven] will consume." Say, "There have already come to you messengers before me with clear proofs and [even] that of which you speak. So why did you kill them, if you should be truthful?"

فَإِن Then if كَذَّبُوكَ they reject you فَقَدْ then certainly كُذِّبَ were rejected رُسُلٌۭ Messengers مِّن from قَبْلِكَ before you جَآءُو (who) came بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with the clear Signs وَٱلزُّبُرِ and the Scriptures وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ and the Book ٱلْمُنِيرِ [the] Enlightening ١٨٤

Then if they deny you, [O Muḥammad] - so were messengers denied before you, who brought clear proofs and written ordinances and the enlightening Scripture.

كُلُّ Every نَفْسٍۢ soul ذَآئِقَةُ (will) taste ٱلْمَوْتِ ۗ [the] death وَإِنَّمَا and only تُوَفَّوْنَ you will be paid in full أُجُورَكُمْ your reward يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۖ (of) [the] Resurrection فَمَن Then whoever زُحْزِحَ is drawn away عَنِ from ٱلنَّارِ the Fire وَأُدْخِلَ and admitted ٱلْجَنَّةَ (to) Paradise فَقَدْ then surely فَازَ ۗ he is successful وَمَا And not ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ (is) the life ٱلدُّنْيَآ (of) the world إِلَّا except مَتَـٰعُ enjoyment ٱلْغُرُورِ (of) delusion ١٨٥

Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion.

۞ لَتُبْلَوُنَّ You will certainly be tested فِىٓ in أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ your wealth وَأَنفُسِكُمْ and yourselves وَلَتَسْمَعُنَّ And you will certainly hear مِنَ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book مِن from قَبْلِكُمْ before you وَمِنَ and from ٱلَّذِينَ those who أَشْرَكُوٓا۟ associate partners with Allah أَذًۭى hurtful things كَثِيرًۭا ۚ many وَإِن and if تَصْبِرُوا۟ you are patient وَتَتَّقُوا۟ and fear (Allah) فَإِنَّ then indeed ذَٰلِكَ that مِنْ (is) of عَزْمِ the matters ٱلْأُمُورِ (of) determination ١٨٦

You will surely be tested in your possessions and in yourselves. And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allāh much abuse. But if you are patient and fear Allāh - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve.

وَإِذْ And when أَخَذَ took ٱللَّهُ Allah مِيثَـٰقَ a Covenant ٱلَّذِينَ (from) those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ You certainly make it clear لِلنَّاسِ to the mankind وَلَا and (do) not تَكْتُمُونَهُۥ conceal it فَنَبَذُوهُ Then they threw it وَرَآءَ behind ظُهُورِهِمْ their backs وَٱشْتَرَوْا۟ and they exchanged بِهِۦ [with] it ثَمَنًۭا (for) a price قَلِيلًۭا ۖ little فَبِئْسَ And wretched مَا (is) what يَشْتَرُونَ they purchase ١٨٧

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Allāh took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear [i.e., explain it] to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased.

لَا (Do) not تَحْسَبَنَّ think ٱلَّذِينَ (that) those who يَفْرَحُونَ rejoice بِمَآ in what أَتَوا۟ (they have) brought وَّيُحِبُّونَ and they love أَن that يُحْمَدُوا۟ they be praised بِمَا for what لَمْ not يَفْعَلُوا۟ they do فَلَا so (do) not تَحْسَبَنَّهُم think (that) they بِمَفَازَةٍۢ (will) escape مِّنَ from ٱلْعَذَابِ ۖ the punishment وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is a) punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ١٨٨

And never think that those who rejoice in what they have perpetrated and like to be praised for what they did not do - never think them [to be] in safety from the punishment, and for them is a painful punishment.
