قالَ الَّذينَ حَقَّ عَلَيهِمُ القَولُ رَبَّنا هـٰؤُلاءِ الَّذينَ أَغوَينا أَغوَيناهُم كَما غَوَينا ۖ تَبَرَّأنا إِلَيكَ ۖ ما كانوا إِيّانا يَعبُدونَ

Those against whom the word will come into effect, will say, “Our Lord, these are the ones we misled. We misled them as we ourselves were misled. We disassociate ourselves from them before You. It was not us whom they worshiped.”

وَقيلَ ادعوا شُرَكاءَكُم فَدَعَوهُم فَلَم يَستَجيبوا لَهُم وَرَأَوُا العَذابَ ۚ لَو أَنَّهُم كانوا يَهتَدونَ

Then it will be said, “Call upon your associates.” They will call upon them, but they won’t answer them. They will witness the suffering and wish they had followed guidance.

وَيَومَ يُناديهِم فَيَقولُ ماذا أَجَبتُمُ المُرسَلينَ

On that Day, He will question them, “What was your reply to the messengers?”

فَعَمِيَت عَلَيهِمُ الأَنباءُ يَومَئِذٍ فَهُم لا يَتَساءَلونَ

On that day, they will be blind to the news, and they won’t ask one another.

فَأَمّا مَن تابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صالِحًا فَعَسىٰ أَن يَكونَ مِنَ المُفلِحينَ

However, those who repent, believe, and perform righteous deeds may indeed be among the successful.

وَرَبُّكَ يَعلَمُ ما تُكِنُّ صُدورُهُم وَما يُعلِنونَ

Your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they disclose.

وَهُوَ اللَّهُ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ الحَمدُ فِي الأولىٰ وَالآخِرَةِ ۖ وَلَهُ الحُكمُ وَإِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ

He is God; there is no god except He. All praise is His in this life and the Hereafter. His is the judgment, and to Him you will be returned.

قُل أَرَأَيتُم إِن جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيكُمُ اللَّيلَ سَرمَدًا إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ مَن إِلـٰهٌ غَيرُ اللَّهِ يَأتيكُم بِضِياءٍ ۖ أَفَلا تَسمَعونَ

Say, “Have you considered: if God were to make the night continuous over you until Resurrection Day, which god, other than God, could bring you illumination? Don’t you listen?”

قُل أَرَأَيتُم إِن جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيكُمُ النَّهارَ سَرمَدًا إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ مَن إِلـٰهٌ غَيرُ اللَّهِ يَأتيكُم بِلَيلٍ تَسكُنونَ فيهِ ۖ أَفَلا تُبصِرونَ

Say, “Have you considered: if God were to make the day continuous over you until Resurrection Day, which god, other than God, could bring you night for rest? Don’t you see?”

وَمِن رَحمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ لِتَسكُنوا فيهِ وَلِتَبتَغوا مِن فَضلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ

Out of His mercy, He made for you the night and the day, so you may rest therein, seek His bounty, and perhaps express gratitude.
