هُوَ He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who جَعَلَكُمْ made you خَلَـٰٓئِفَ successors فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ the earth فَمَن And whoever كَفَرَ disbelieves فَعَلَيْهِ then upon him كُفْرُهُۥ ۖ (is) his disbelief وَلَا And not يَزِيدُ increase ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers كُفْرُهُمْ their disbelief عِندَ near رَبِّهِمْ their Lord إِلَّا except مَقْتًۭا ۖ (in) hatred وَلَا and not يَزِيدُ increase ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers كُفْرُهُمْ their disbelief إِلَّا except خَسَارًۭا (in) loss ٣٩

It is He who has made you successors upon the earth. And whoever disbelieves - upon him will be [the consequence of] his disbelief. And the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them in the sight of their Lord except in hatred; and the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them except in loss.

Say, "Have you considered your 'partners' whom you invoke besides Allāh? Show me what they have created from the earth, or have they partnership [with Him] in the heavens? Or have We given them a book so they are [standing] on evidence therefrom? [No], rather, the wrongdoers do not promise each other except delusion."

And they swore by Allāh their strongest oaths that if a warner came to them, they would be more guided than [any] one of the [previous] nations. But when a warner came to them, it did not increase them except in aversion

ٱسْتِكْبَارًۭا (Due to) arrogance فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the land وَمَكْرَ and plotting ٱلسَّيِّئِ ۚ (of) the evil وَلَا but not يَحِيقُ encompasses ٱلْمَكْرُ the plot ٱلسَّيِّئُ (of) the evil إِلَّا except بِأَهْلِهِۦ ۚ its own people فَهَلْ Then do يَنظُرُونَ they wait إِلَّا except سُنَّتَ (the) way ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۚ (of) the former (people) فَلَن But never تَجِدَ you will find لِسُنَّتِ in (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah تَبْدِيلًۭا ۖ any change وَلَن and never تَجِدَ you will find لِسُنَّتِ in (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah تَحْوِيلًا any alteration ٤٣

[Due to] arrogance in the land and plotting of evil; but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people. Then do they await except the way [i.e., fate] of the former peoples? But you will never find in the way [i.e., established method] of Allāh any change, and you will never find in the way of Allāh any alteration.

Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? And they were greater than them in power. But Allāh is not to be caused failure [i.e., prevented] by anything in the heavens or on the earth. Indeed, He is ever Knowing and Competent.
