فَلَوْلَا So why not كَانَتْ was قَرْيَةٌ any town ءَامَنَتْ that believed فَنَفَعَهَآ and benefited it إِيمَـٰنُهَآ its faith إِلَّا except قَوْمَ the people يُونُسَ (of) Yunus لَمَّآ When ءَامَنُوا۟ they believed كَشَفْنَا We removed عَنْهُمْ from them عَذَابَ (the) punishment ٱلْخِزْىِ (of) the disgrace فِى in ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ the life ٱلدُّنْيَا of the world وَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ and We granted them enjoyment إِلَىٰ for حِينٍۢ a time ٩٨

وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ (had) willed رَبُّكَ your Lord لَـَٔامَنَ surely, (would) have believed مَن who فِى (are) in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth كُلُّهُمْ all of them جَمِيعًا ۚ together أَفَأَنتَ Then, will you تُكْرِهُ compel ٱلنَّاسَ the mankind حَتَّىٰ until يَكُونُوا۟ they become مُؤْمِنِينَ believers ٩٩

وَمَا And not كَانَ is لِنَفْسٍ for a soul أَن to تُؤْمِنَ believe إِلَّا except بِإِذْنِ by (the) permission ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah وَيَجْعَلُ And He will place ٱلرِّجْسَ the wrath عَلَى on ٱلَّذِينَ those who لَا (do) not يَعْقِلُونَ use reason ١٠٠

قُلِ Say ٱنظُرُوا۟ See مَاذَا what فِى (is) in ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ and the earth وَمَا But not تُغْنِى will avail ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتُ the Signs وَٱلنُّذُرُ and the warners عَن to قَوْمٍۢ a people لَّا (who do) not يُؤْمِنُونَ believe ١٠١

فَهَلْ Then do يَنتَظِرُونَ they wait إِلَّا except مِثْلَ like أَيَّامِ the days ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who خَلَوْا۟ passed away مِن before them قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ before them قُلْ Say فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ Then wait إِنِّى indeed, I (am) مَعَكُم with you مِّنَ among ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ the ones who wait ١٠٢

ثُمَّ Then نُنَجِّى We will save رُسُلَنَا Our Messengers وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ believe كَذَٰلِكَ Thus حَقًّا (it is) an obligation عَلَيْنَا upon Us نُنجِ (that) We save ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers ١٠٣

قُلْ Say يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O mankind ٱلنَّاسُ O mankind إِن If كُنتُمْ you are فِى in شَكٍّۢ doubt مِّن of دِينِى my religion فَلَآ then not أَعْبُدُ I worship ٱلَّذِينَ those whom تَعْبُدُونَ you worship مِن besides Allah دُونِ besides Allah ٱللَّهِ besides Allah وَلَـٰكِنْ but أَعْبُدُ I worship ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱلَّذِى the One Who يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمْ ۖ causes you to die وَأُمِرْتُ And I am commanded أَنْ that أَكُونَ I be مِنَ of ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers ١٠٤

وَأَنْ And that أَقِمْ Direct وَجْهَكَ your face لِلدِّينِ to the religion حَنِيفًۭا upright وَلَا and (do) not تَكُونَنَّ be مِنَ of ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ the polytheists ١٠٥

وَلَا And (do) not تَدْعُ invoke مِن besides Allah دُونِ besides Allah ٱللَّهِ besides Allah مَا what لَا (will) not يَنفَعُكَ benefit you وَلَا and not يَضُرُّكَ ۖ harm you فَإِن But if فَعَلْتَ you did so فَإِنَّكَ indeed, you إِذًۭا then (will be) مِّنَ of ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ١٠٦
