ذَٰلِكَ That (is because) أَن [that] لَّمْ not يَكُن is رَّبُّكَ your Lord مُهْلِكَ one who destroys ٱلْقُرَىٰ the cities بِظُلْمٍۢ for (their) wrongdoing وَأَهْلُهَا while their people غَـٰفِلُونَ (are) unaware ١٣١

That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing while their people were unaware.

وَلِكُلٍّۢ And for all دَرَجَـٰتٌۭ (will be) degrees مِّمَّا for what عَمِلُوا۟ ۚ they did وَمَا And not رَبُّكَ (is) your Lord بِغَـٰفِلٍ unaware عَمَّا about what يَعْمَلُونَ they do ١٣٢

And for all are degrees [i.e., positions resulting] from what they have done. And your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord ٱلْغَنِىُّ (is) the Self-Sufficient ذُو (the) Possessor ٱلرَّحْمَةِ ۚ (of) mercy إِن If يَشَأْ He wills يُذْهِبْكُمْ He can take you away وَيَسْتَخْلِفْ and grant succession مِنۢ from بَعْدِكُم after you مَّا (to) whom يَشَآءُ He wills كَمَآ as أَنشَأَكُم He raised you مِّن from ذُرِّيَّةِ the descendants قَوْمٍ (of) people ءَاخَرِينَ other ١٣٣

And your Lord is the Free of need, the possessor of mercy. If He wills, He can do away with you and give succession after you to whomever He wills, just as He produced you from the descendants of another people.

Say, "O my people, work according to your position; [for] indeed, I am working. And you are going to know who will have succession in the home. Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed."

وَجَعَلُوا۟ And they assign لِلَّهِ to Allah مِمَّا out of what ذَرَأَ He produced مِنَ of ٱلْحَرْثِ the crops وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ and the cattle نَصِيبًۭا a share فَقَالُوا۟ and they say هَـٰذَا This لِلَّهِ (is) for Allah بِزَعْمِهِمْ by their claim وَهَـٰذَا And this لِشُرَكَآئِنَا ۖ (is) for our partners فَمَا But what كَانَ is لِشُرَكَآئِهِمْ for their partners فَلَا (does) not يَصِلُ reach إِلَى [to] ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah وَمَا while what كَانَ is لِلَّهِ for Allah فَهُوَ then it يَصِلُ reaches إِلَىٰ [to] شُرَكَآئِهِمْ ۗ their partners سَآءَ Evil مَا (is) what يَحْكُمُونَ they judge ١٣٦

And they [i.e., the polytheists] assign to Allāh from that which He created of crops and livestock a share and say, "This is for Allāh," by their claim, "and this is for our 'partners' [associated with Him]." But what is for their "partners" does not reach Allāh, while what is for Allāh - this reaches their "partners." Evil is that which they rule.

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And likewise زَيَّنَ made pleasing لِكَثِيرٍۢ to many مِّنَ of ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ the polytheists قَتْلَ (the) killing أَوْلَـٰدِهِمْ (of) their children شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ their partners لِيُرْدُوهُمْ so that they may ruin them وَلِيَلْبِسُوا۟ and that they make confusing عَلَيْهِمْ to them دِينَهُمْ ۖ their religion وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah مَا not فَعَلُوهُ ۖ (would) they have done so فَذَرْهُمْ So leave them وَمَا and what يَفْتَرُونَ they invent ١٣٧

And likewise, to many of the polytheists their partners have made [to seem] pleasing the killing of their children in order to bring about their destruction and to cover them with confusion in their religion. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them and that which they invent.
