أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah خَلَقَ created ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضَ and the earth بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ in truth إِن If يَشَأْ He wills يُذْهِبْكُمْ He can remove you وَيَأْتِ and bring بِخَلْقٍۢ a creation جَدِيدٍۢ new ١٩

Have you not seen [i.e., considered] that Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth? If He wills, He can do away with you and produce a new creation.

وَمَا And not ذَٰلِكَ (is) that عَلَى on ٱللَّهِ Allah بِعَزِيزٍۢ great ٢٠

And that is not difficult for Allāh.

وَبَرَزُوا۟ And they will come forth لِلَّهِ before Allah جَمِيعًۭا all together فَقَالَ then will say ٱلضُّعَفَـٰٓؤُا۟ the weak لِلَّذِينَ to those who ٱسْتَكْبَرُوٓا۟ were arrogant إِنَّا Indeed we كُنَّا we were لَكُمْ your تَبَعًۭا followers فَهَلْ so can أَنتُم you (be) مُّغْنُونَ the one who avails عَنَّا us مِنْ from عَذَابِ (the) punishment ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah مِن anything شَىْءٍۢ ۚ anything قَالُوا۟ They will say لَوْ If هَدَىٰنَا Allah had guided us ٱللَّهُ Allah had guided us لَهَدَيْنَـٰكُمْ ۖ surely we would have guided you سَوَآءٌ (It is) same عَلَيْنَآ for us أَجَزِعْنَآ whether we show intolerance أَمْ or صَبَرْنَا we are patient مَا not لَنَا (is) for us مِن any مَّحِيصٍۢ place of escape ٢١

And they will come out [for judgement] before Allāh all together, and the weak will say to those who were arrogant, "Indeed, we were your followers, so can you avail us anything against the punishment of Allāh?" They will say, "If Allāh had guided us, we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether we show intolerance or are patient: there is for us no place of escape."

وَقَالَ And will say ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan لَمَّا when قُضِىَ has been decided ٱلْأَمْرُ the matter إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah وَعَدَكُمْ promised you وَعْدَ a promise ٱلْحَقِّ (of) truth وَوَعَدتُّكُمْ And I promised you فَأَخْلَفْتُكُمْ ۖ but I betrayed you وَمَا But not كَانَ I had لِىَ I had عَلَيْكُم over you مِّن any سُلْطَـٰنٍ authority إِلَّآ except أَن that دَعَوْتُكُمْ I invited you فَٱسْتَجَبْتُمْ and you responded لِى ۖ to me فَلَا So (do) not تَلُومُونِى blame me وَلُومُوٓا۟ but blame أَنفُسَكُم ۖ yourselves مَّآ Not أَنَا۠ (can) I بِمُصْرِخِكُمْ (be) your helper وَمَآ and not أَنتُم you (can) بِمُصْرِخِىَّ ۖ (be) my helper إِنِّى Indeed, I كَفَرْتُ deny بِمَآ [of what] أَشْرَكْتُمُونِ your association of me (with Allah) مِن before قَبْلُ ۗ before إِنَّ Indeed ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers لَهُمْ for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ٢٢

And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, Allāh had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allāh] before. Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment."

وَأُدْخِلَ And will be admitted ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believed وَعَمِلُوا۟ and did ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ righteous deeds جَنَّـٰتٍۢ (to) Gardens تَجْرِى flows مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath it ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ the rivers خَـٰلِدِينَ (will) abide forever فِيهَا in it بِإِذْنِ by the permission رَبِّهِمْ ۖ (of) their Lord تَحِيَّتُهُمْ their greetings فِيهَا therein سَلَـٰمٌ (will be) peace ٢٣

And those who believed and did righteous deeds will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein by permission of their Lord; and their greeting therein will be, "Peace!"

أَلَمْ Do not تَرَ you see كَيْفَ how ضَرَبَ Allah sets forth ٱللَّهُ Allah sets forth مَثَلًۭا the example كَلِمَةًۭ a word طَيِّبَةًۭ good كَشَجَرَةٍۢ (is) like a tree طَيِّبَةٍ good أَصْلُهَا its root ثَابِتٌۭ (is) firm وَفَرْعُهَا and its branches فِى (are) in ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky ٢٤

Have you not considered how Allāh presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
