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

ثُمَّ أَنْشَأْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا آخَرِينَ ﴿۳۱﴾
Then We raised up after them another generation (31)
فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِنْهُمْ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۳۲﴾
So We sent among them a messenger from among them, saying: Serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; will you not then guard (against evil)? (32)
وَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِلِقَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَأَتْرَفْنَاهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مَا هَذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَشْرَبُ مِمَّا تَشْرَبُونَ ﴿۳۳﴾
And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and called the meeting of the hereafter a lie, and whom We had given plenty to enjoy in this world's life, said: This is nothing but a mortal like yourselves, eating of what you eat from and drinking of what you drink (33)
وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ بَشَرًا مِثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَخَاسِرُونَ ﴿۳۴﴾
And if you obey a mortal like yourselves, then most surely you will be losers: (34)
أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنْتُمْ تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَنَّكُمْ مُخْرَجُونَ ﴿۳۵﴾
What! does he threaten you that when you are dead and become dust and bones that you shall then be brought forth? (35)
هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ ﴿۳۶﴾
Far, far is that which you are threatened with (36)
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ ﴿۳۷﴾
There is naught but our life in this world; we die and we live and we shall not be raised again (37)
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۳۸﴾
He is naught but a man who has forged a lie against Allah, and we are not going to believe in him (38)
قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ ﴿۳۹﴾
He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me a liar (39)
قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَيُصْبِحُنَّ نَادِمِينَ ﴿۴۰﴾
He said: In a little while they will most certainly be repenting (40)
