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

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿۱﴾
Prosperous are the believers, (1)
الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ ﴿۲﴾
who are humble in their prayers; (2)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ ﴿۳﴾
who turn away from idle talk; (3)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلُونَ ﴿۴﴾
who give charity, (4)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ ﴿۵﴾
who guard their privates, (5)
إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ ﴿۶﴾
except with their wives and what their right hand possess, and then they are not blamed. (6)
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ ﴿۷﴾
Those who seek beyond that are transgressors. (7)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ ﴿۸﴾
(Prosperous are those) who preserve their trusts and pledges (8)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ ﴿۹﴾
and those who observe their prayers. (9)
أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ ﴿۱۰﴾
Those are the heirs (10)
الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ ﴿۱۱﴾
who will inherit Paradise; they shall live there for ever. (11)
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ مِنْ سُلَالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ ﴿۱۲﴾
We created the human from an essence of clay: (12)
ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُطْفَةً فِي قَرَارٍ مَكِينٍ ﴿۱۳﴾
then We made him, a drop, in a secure receptacle (the womb). (13)
ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا النُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً فَخَلَقْنَا الْمُضْغَةَ عِظَامًا فَكَسَوْنَا الْعِظَامَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ أَنْشَأْنَاهُ خَلْقًا آخَرَ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ ﴿۱۴﴾
Then We created of the drop, a clot (of congealed blood) and We created the clot into bitesize tissue, then We created the bitesize tissue into bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it an other creation. Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators! (14)
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لَمَيِّتُونَ ﴿۱۵﴾
After that you shall surely die, (15)
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تُبْعَثُونَ ﴿۱۶﴾
and be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection. (16)
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَائِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غَافِلِينَ ﴿۱۷﴾
We have created seven ways above you; of Our creation, We are never inattentive. (17)
وَأَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّا عَلَى ذَهَابٍ بِهِ لَقَادِرُونَ ﴿۱۸﴾
We sent down water from the sky in due measure, and lodged it in the earth, and We are able to take it all away. (18)
فَأَنْشَأْنَا لَكُمْ بِهِ جَنَّاتٍ مِنْ نَخِيلٍ وَأَعْنَابٍ لَكُمْ فِيهَا فَوَاكِهُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿۱۹﴾
With it, We produced for you gardens of palms and vines, yielding abundant fruit for you to eat. (19)
وَشَجَرَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ تَنْبُتُ بِالدُّهْنِ وَصِبْغٍ لِلْآكِلِينَ ﴿۲۰﴾
Also, a tree which grows on the Tor of Sinai and gives oil and relish for its eaters. (20)
وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً نُسْقِيكُمْ مِمَّا فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿۲۱﴾
In the cattle, too, is a lesson for you. We let you drink of that which is in their bellies, and there are many benefits in them for you, and you eat of them, (21)
وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ ﴿۲۲﴾
and upon them and on the ships you are carried. (22)
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۲۳﴾
We sent Noah to his nation. 'Worship Allah, my nation, ' he said, 'for you have no god except He. Will you not be cautious? ' (23)
فَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مَا هَذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَأَنْزَلَ مَلَائِكَةً مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَذَا فِي آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۲۴﴾
The unbelieving assembly of his nation said: 'This is but a human like you, who desires to gain superiority over you. Had Allah willed, He could have sent down angels. We never heard of this among our ancient forefathers. (24)
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا بِهِ حَتَّى حِينٍ ﴿۲۵﴾
He is nothing else except a man who is mad, so watch him for awhile. (25)
قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ ﴿۲۶﴾
He (Noah) said: 'Lord, help me, for they belie me. ' (26)
فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ فَاسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِي فِي الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا إِنَّهُمْ مُغْرَقُونَ ﴿۲۷﴾
We said to him: 'Make the Ark under Our Eye, and Our Revelation, and then when Our command comes and the oven gushes water, take onboard a pair from every kind and your family, except him against whom the decision has already been passed. Do not address Me concerning those who have done evil; they shall be drowned. (27)
فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ أَنْتَ وَمَنْ مَعَكَ عَلَى الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّانَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿۲۸﴾
And when you and all those with you are seated in the Ark, say: 'Praise be to Allah who has saved us from the harmdoing nation. ' (28)
وَقُلْ رَبِّ أَنْزِلْنِي مُنْزَلًا مُبَارَكًا وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ ﴿۲۹﴾
And say: 'Lord, let me land a blessed landing. You are the Best of harborers. ' (29)
إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ وَإِنْ كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِينَ ﴿۳۰﴾
Surely, in that are signs, and surely We will put (nations) to the test. (30)
ثُمَّ أَنْشَأْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ قَرْنًا آخَرِينَ ﴿۳۱﴾
Then We produced after them another generation (31)
فَأَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِنْهُمْ أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۳۲﴾
and We sent to them a Messenger from themselves, saying: 'Worship Allah, for you have no god except He. Will you not be cautious? ' (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﴾
The unbelieving assembly of his nation, who belied the encounter of the Everlasting Life, and on whom We had bestowed ease in this life, said: 'This is but a human like yourselves; he eats of what you eat and drinks of what you drink. (33)
وَلَئِنْ أَطَعْتُمْ بَشَرًا مِثْلَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَخَاسِرُونَ ﴿۳۴﴾
If you obey a mortal like yourselves, you shall be lost. (34)
أَيَعِدُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَكُنْتُمْ تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَنَّكُمْ مُخْرَجُونَ ﴿۳۵﴾
What, does he promise you that when you are dead and turned to dust and bones, you will be brought forth? (35)
هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ لِمَا تُوعَدُونَ ﴿۳۶﴾
After, after with that which you are promised! (36)
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ ﴿۳۷﴾
There is nothing but our present life; we die, and we live, and we shall not be resurrected. (37)
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا وَمَا نَحْنُ لَهُ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿۳۸﴾
He is nothing but a man who has forged against Allah a lie, we will never believe him. ' (38)
قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِي بِمَا كَذَّبُونِ ﴿۳۹﴾
He said: 'Help me, Lord, they belie me. ' (39)
قَالَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ لَيُصْبِحُنَّ نَادِمِينَ ﴿۴۰﴾
He replied: 'Before long, by the morning, they shall be remorseful. ' (40)
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ بِالْحَقِّ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ غُثَاءً فَبُعْدًا لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿۴۱﴾
And the Cry seized them in justice and We made them withered. So begone with the harmdoing nation. (41)
ثُمَّ أَنْشَأْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ قُرُونًا آخَرِينَ ﴿۴۲﴾
After them We produced other generations (42)
مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ ﴿۴۳﴾
no nation outstrips its term, nor do they put it back. (43)
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَى كُلَّ مَا جَاءَ أُمَّةً رَسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ فَبُعْدًا لِقَوْمٍ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿۴۴﴾
Then We sent Our Messengers in succession. Yet whenever its Messenger came to a nation they belied him, so We made them follow others, and We made them but as tales, so begone the nation who did not believe! (44)
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى وَأَخَاهُ هَارُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ ﴿۴۵﴾
Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and clear authority (45)
إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا عَالِينَ ﴿۴۶﴾
to Pharaoh and his Council, but they were very proud, and they were a tyrannical nation. (46)
فَقَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَابِدُونَ ﴿۴۷﴾
'What! ' they said, 'are we to believe in two mortals like us, whose nation are our worshipers? ' (47)
فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِينَ ﴿۴۸﴾
So they belied them, and they were among the destroyed. (48)
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ﴿۴۹﴾
And We gave Moses the Book, in order that they might be guided. (49)
وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ آيَةً وَآوَيْنَاهُمَا إِلَى رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَمَعِينٍ ﴿۵۰﴾
We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and gave them a refuge on a hillside where there was a hollow and a spring. (50)
يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ ﴿۵۱﴾
Messengers! Eat of that which is good and do good deeds; I have knowledge of the things you do. (51)
وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونِ ﴿۵۲﴾
Your nation is but one nation, and I am your Lord, therefore fear Me. (52)
فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ ﴿۵۳﴾
Yet they have split their affairs between themselves into sects, each rejoicing in what it has. (53)
فَذَرْهُمْ فِي غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ ﴿۵۴﴾
Leave them in their perplexity for a time. (54)
أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُمْ بِهِ مِنْ مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ ﴿۵۵﴾
Do they think that in giving them wealth and children (55)
نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ بَلْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿۵۶﴾
We hasten in good works for them? No, they are not aware. (56)
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِمْ مُشْفِقُونَ ﴿۵۷﴾
Those who tremble in fear of their Lord, (57)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿۵۸﴾
who believe in the verses of their Lord; (58)
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ ﴿۵۹﴾
who associate none with their Lord, (59)
وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ رَاجِعُونَ ﴿۶۰﴾
who give what they give, with their hearts quaking, that they will return to their Lord: (60)
أُولَئِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ ﴿۶۱﴾
those, hasten in good works, outracing to them. (61)
وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ﴿۶۲﴾
We charge no soul with more than it can bear. We have a Book with Us which speaks the truth, and they shall not be wronged. (62)
بَلْ قُلُوبُهُمْ فِي غَمْرَةٍ مِنْ هَذَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْمَالٌ مِنْ دُونِ ذَلِكَ هُمْ لَهَا عَامِلُونَ ﴿۶۳﴾
But their hearts are in ignorance of this (Koran); and they have deeds besides that which they are doing. (63)
حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذْنَا مُتْرَفِيهِمْ بِالْعَذَابِ إِذَا هُمْ يَجْأَرُونَ ﴿۶۴﴾
But when We seize with the punishment those of them that live in ease, they groan. (64)
لَا تَجْأَرُوا الْيَوْمَ إِنَّكُمْ مِنَّا لَا تُنْصَرُونَ ﴿۶۵﴾
(We shall say): 'Do not groan today, surely you shall receive no help from Us. ' (65)
قَدْ كَانَتْ آيَاتِي تُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنْكِصُونَ ﴿۶۶﴾
My verses were recited to you, but you turned upon your heels, (66)
مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ ﴿۶۷﴾
being proud against it, talking foolishness by night. (67)
أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا الْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَاءَهُمْ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِ آبَاءَهُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۶۸﴾
Should they not think upon the saying? Or, did anything come upon them that had not come upon their ancient forefathers? (68)
أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُ مُنْكِرُونَ ﴿۶۹﴾
Or, is it because they do not recognize their Messenger that they denied him? (69)
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ بَلْ جَاءَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ ﴿۷۰﴾
Do they say he is mad! No, he came to them with the truth, but most of them hate the truth. (70)
وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الْحَقُّ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُمْ بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِمْ مُعْرِضُونَ ﴿۷۱﴾
Had the truth followed their fancies, the heavens, the earth, and all who live in them would have surely been corrupted. No, We brought them their Remembrance; but from their Remembrance they turn away. (71)
أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ ﴿۷۲﴾
Or, do you ask a tribute from them? Your Lord's tribute is better. He is the Best of providers. (72)
وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿۷۳﴾
Indeed you are calling them to a Straight Path, (73)
وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ لَنَاكِبُونَ ﴿۷۴﴾
but those who disbelieve in the Everlasting Life deviate from the Path. (74)
وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَاهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِمْ مِنْ ضُرٍّ لَلَجُّوا فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ﴿۷۵﴾
If We had mercy on them and removed their afflictions, they would still persist in their insolence, blindly wandering. (75)
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ﴿۷۶﴾
Already We have seized them with the punishment, but they neither humbled themselves to their Lord, nor did they beseech Him, (76)
حَتَّى إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ ﴿۷۷﴾
when We opened on them a gate of severe punishment, they utterly despaired. (77)
وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿۷۸﴾
It was He who produced for you hearing, eyes, and hearts, yet little is that you thank. (78)
وَهُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ ﴿۷۹﴾
It was He who scattered you on the earth, and before Him you shall be gathered. (79)
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿۸۰﴾
It is He who revives and makes to die, and to Him belong the alternation of the night and the day. Will you not understand! (80)
بَلْ قَالُوا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿۸۱﴾
No, but they said what the ancients said before them: (81)
قَالُوا أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿۸۲﴾
'When we are dead and become dust and bones shall we be resurrected? (82)
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۸۳﴾
We and our fathers have been promised this before. It is but of the ancients' fictitious tales. ' (83)
قُلْ لِمَنِ الْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۸۴﴾
Say: "If you have knowledge, 'to whom belongs the earth? ' and, 'whoever is in it? '" (84)
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿۸۵﴾
They will say: 'To Allah. ' Say: 'Then will you not remember! ' (85)
قُلْ مَنْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۸۶﴾
Say: 'Who is the Lord of the seven heavens, and of the Great Throne? ' (86)
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۸۷﴾
They will say: 'Allah, ' Say: 'Will you not be cautious? ' (87)
قُلْ مَنْ بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۸۸﴾
Say: 'In whose Hands is the Kingdom of all things, He protects, and none protects against Him, if you have knowledge! ' (88)
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ فَأَنَّى تُسْحَرُونَ ﴿۸۹﴾
'Allah, ' they will reply. Say: 'How then can you be so bewitched? ' (89)
بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ ﴿۹۰﴾
No, We have brought the truth to them, but they are liars. (90)
مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِنْ وَلَدٍ وَمَا كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِذًا لَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلَهٍ بِمَا خَلَقَ وَلَعَلَا بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ﴿۹۱﴾
Allah has not taken to Himself any son, there is no other god with Him. Were this otherwise each god would have taken that which he created, and some of them would have risen above others; Exalted is Allah beyond that they describe! (91)
عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ﴿۹۲﴾
(He is) the Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, High Exalted be He above that they associate. (92)
قُلْ رَبِّ إِمَّا تُرِيَنِّي مَا يُوعَدُونَ ﴿۹۳﴾
