وَأَنّا ظَنَنّا أَن لَن نُعجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الأَرضِ وَلَن نُعجِزَهُ هَرَبًا

And we’ve realized that we can’t defeat God on earth, and that we can’t escape Him by flight.

وَأَنّا لَمّا سَمِعنَا الهُدىٰ آمَنّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَن يُؤمِن بِرَبِّهِ فَلا يَخافُ بَخسًا وَلا رَهَقًا

Upon hearing the guidance, we believed in it. Whoever believes in his Lord fears neither loss nor oppression.

وَأَنّا مِنَّا المُسلِمونَ وَمِنَّا القاسِطونَ ۖ فَمَن أَسلَمَ فَأُولـٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوا رَشَدًا

Among us are the submitters, and among us are the deviants. Those who submit have found the path of righteousness.

وَأَمَّا القاسِطونَ فَكانوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

As for the deviants, they will be fuel for Hellfire.”

وَأَن لَوِ استَقاموا عَلَى الطَّريقَةِ لَأَسقَيناهُم ماءً غَدَقًا

Had they remained on the path, We would have provided them with abundant water to drink.

وَأَنَّ المَساجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلا تَدعوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا

The places of worship are for God. Don’t call upon anyone else alongside God.

وَأَنَّهُ لَمّا قامَ عَبدُ اللَّهِ يَدعوهُ كادوا يَكونونَ عَلَيهِ لِبَدًا

When God’s servant stood up, calling upon Him, they nearly mobbed him in aggression.

قُل إِنَّما أَدعو رَبّي وَلا أُشرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا

Say, “I only pray to my Lord, and I associate none with Him.”

قُل إِنّي لا أَملِكُ لَكُم ضَرًّا وَلا رَشَدًا

Say, “I hold no power over harm or righteousness for you.”

قُل إِنّي لَن يُجيرَني مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَن أَجِدَ مِن دونِهِ مُلتَحَدًا

Say, “No one can protect me from God, nor can I find refuge apart from Him.
