وَلَئِن أَخَّرنا عَنهُمُ العَذابَ إِلىٰ أُمَّةٍ مَعدودَةٍ لَيَقولُنَّ ما يَحبِسُهُ ۗ أَلا يَومَ يَأتيهِم لَيسَ مَصروفًا عَنهُم وَحاقَ بِهِم ما كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ

If We postpone their punishment until a set time, they will question, “What holds it back?” On the day it reaches them, it won’t be averted from them, and they will be trapped by what they used to ridicule.

وَلَئِن أَذَقنَا الإِنسانَ مِنّا رَحمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعناها مِنهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَئوسٌ كَفورٌ

If We give man a taste of mercy from Us, and then We withdraw it from him, he is despairing and ungrateful.

وَلَئِن أَذَقناهُ نَعماءَ بَعدَ ضَرّاءَ مَسَّتهُ لَيَقولَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّئَاتُ عَنّي ۚ إِنَّهُ لَفَرِحٌ فَخورٌ

But if We let him taste a favor after hardship has touched him, he will say, “Gone are afflictions from me.” He becomes joyful and proud.

إِلَّا الَّذينَ صَبَروا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ أُولـٰئِكَ لَهُم مَغفِرَةٌ وَأَجرٌ كَبيرٌ

Except for those who are patient and do righteous deeds—for them is forgiveness and a great reward.

فَلَعَلَّكَ تارِكٌ بَعضَ ما يوحىٰ إِلَيكَ وَضائِقٌ بِهِ صَدرُكَ أَن يَقولوا لَولا أُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ كَنزٌ أَو جاءَ مَعَهُ مَلَكٌ ۚ إِنَّما أَنتَ نَذيرٌ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ وَكيلٌ

Perhaps you would leave some of what’s revealed to you, and you may be disheartened because they say, “Why has no treasure been sent down to him?” or “An angel came with him?” You are just a warner, and God is a custodian over everything.

فَإِلَّم يَستَجيبوا لَكُم فَاعلَموا أَنَّما أُنزِلَ بِعِلمِ اللَّهِ وَأَن لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ فَهَل أَنتُم مُسلِمونَ

If they don’t respond to you, then know that it was revealed with God’s knowledge, and that there is no god except Him. So, will you then not surrender?

مَن كانَ يُريدُ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا وَزينَتَها نُوَفِّ إِلَيهِم أَعمالَهُم فيها وَهُم فيها لا يُبخَسونَ

Those who desire the worldly life and its adornments—We will pay them fully for their deeds in it, without any reduction.

أُولـٰئِكَ الَّذينَ لَيسَ لَهُم فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلَّا النّارُ ۖ وَحَبِطَ ما صَنَعوا فيها وَباطِلٌ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

These are the ones, who, in the Hereafter, will have nothing but the Fire. Their efforts will have been wasted, and their actions become void.

أَفَمَن كانَ عَلىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِن رَبِّهِ وَيَتلوهُ شاهِدٌ مِنهُ وَمِن قَبلِهِ كِتابُ موسىٰ إِمامًا وَرَحمَةً ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ يُؤمِنونَ بِهِ ۚ وَمَن يَكفُر بِهِ مِنَ الأَحزابِ فَالنّارُ مَوعِدُهُ ۚ فَلا تَكُ في مِريَةٍ مِنهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّكَ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يُؤمِنونَ

Is one who relies on clear evidence from his Lord, reinforced by testimony from Him? Before this, the Scripture of Moses for guidance and mercy, and they believe in it. But whoever denies it from the factions, the Fire is his promised destination. So, don’t doubt it. It’s the truth from your Lord, but most people refuse to believe.

وَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّنِ افتَرىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۚ أُولـٰئِكَ يُعرَضونَ عَلىٰ رَبِّهِم وَيَقولُ الأَشهادُ هـٰؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ كَذَبوا عَلىٰ رَبِّهِم ۚ أَلا لَعنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظّالِمينَ

Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against God? These will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will proclaim, “These are the ones who lied concerning their Lord.” Behold, the curse of God is upon the wrongdoers.
