۞ مَّثَلُ The example ٱلْجَنَّةِ of Paradise ٱلَّتِى which وُعِدَ (is) promised ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ (to) the righteous تَجْرِى flows مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath it ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۖ the rivers أُكُلُهَا Its food دَآئِمٌۭ (is) everlasting وَظِلُّهَا ۚ and its shade تِلْكَ This عُقْبَى (is the) end ٱلَّذِينَ of those who ٱتَّقَوا۟ ۖ (are) righteous وَّعُقْبَى and (the) end ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ (of) the disbelievers ٱلنَّارُ (is) the Fire ٣٥

The example [i.e., description] of Paradise, which the righteous have been promised, is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire.

وَٱلَّذِينَ And those (to) whom ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمُ We have given them ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book يَفْرَحُونَ rejoice بِمَآ at what أُنزِلَ has been revealed إِلَيْكَ ۖ to you وَمِنَ but among ٱلْأَحْزَابِ the groups مَن (those) who يُنكِرُ deny بَعْضَهُۥ ۚ a part of it قُلْ Say إِنَّمَآ Only أُمِرْتُ I have been commanded أَنْ that أَعْبُدَ I worship ٱللَّهَ Allah وَلَآ and not أُشْرِكَ I associate partners بِهِۦٓ ۚ with Him إِلَيْهِ To Him أَدْعُوا۟ I call وَإِلَيْهِ and to Him مَـَٔابِ (is) my return ٣٦

And [the believers among] those to whom We have given the [previous] Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], but among the [opposing] factions are those who deny part of it [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Say, "I have only been commanded to worship Allāh and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return."

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ We have revealed it حُكْمًا (to be) a judgment of authority عَرَبِيًّۭا ۚ (in) Arabic وَلَئِنِ And if ٱتَّبَعْتَ you follow أَهْوَآءَهُم their desires بَعْدَ مَا after what جَآءَكَ came to you مِنَ of ٱلْعِلْمِ the knowledge مَا not لَكَ for you مِنَ against ٱللَّهِ Allah مِن any وَلِىٍّۢ protector وَلَا and not وَاقٍۢ defender ٣٧

And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation. And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allāh any ally or any protector.

And whether We show you part of what We promise them or take you in death, upon you is only the [duty of] notification, and upon Us is the account.

And those before them had plotted, but to Allāh belongs the plan entirely. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will know for whom is the final home.
