Sura 23: AL-MUMENOON (THE BELIEVERS) - Juz' 18 - Translation Yusufali

إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿۱۰۹﴾
"A part of My servants there was, who used to pray 'our Lord! we believe; then do Thou forgive us, and have mercy upon us: For Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!" (109)
فَاتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّى أَنْسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِي وَكُنْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ ﴿۱۱۰﴾
"But ye treated them with ridicule, so much so that (ridicule of) them made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them! (110)
إِنِّي جَزَيْتُهُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ ﴿۱۱۱﴾
"I have rewarded them this Day for their patience and constancy: they are indeed the ones that have achieved Bliss..." (111)
قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ ﴿۱۱۲﴾
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?" (112)
قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَاسْأَلِ الْعَادِّينَ ﴿۱۱۳﴾
They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account." (113)
قَالَ إِنْ لَبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۱۱۴﴾
He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little,- if ye had only known! (114)
أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ عَبَثًا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿۱۱۵﴾
"Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?" (115)
فَتَعَالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ ﴿۱۱۶﴾
Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality: there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour! (116)
وَمَنْ يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ ﴿۱۱۷﴾
If anyone invokes, besides Allah, Any other god, he has no authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! and verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through! (117)
وَقُلْ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ وَارْحَمْ وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿۱۱۸﴾
So say: "O my Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and mercy for Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!" (118)
