Verses
Page 10 of 10 — 465 verses in all, in mushaf order.
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ يَشْرَبُونَ مِن كَأْسٍ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا كَافُورًا
the righteous will have a drink mixed with kafur,
فَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعْ مِنْهُمْ ءَاثِمًا أَوْ كَفُورًا
Await your Lord’s Judgement with patience; do not yield to any of these sinners or disbelievers;
إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَـٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَـٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
We have warned you of imminent torment, on the Day when every person will see what their own hands have sent ahead for them, when the disbeliever will say, ‘If only I were dust!’
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Woe to man! How ungrateful he is!
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
those are the disbelievers, the licentious.
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
so today the believers are laughing at the disbelievers
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
Have the disbelievers [not] been repaid for their deeds?
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
No! The disbelievers reject the Quran––
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى تَكْذِيبٍ
Yet still the disbelievers persist in denial.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
[Prophet], let the disbelievers be, let them be for a while.
إِلَّا مَن تَوَلَّىٰ وَكَفَرَ
As for those who turn away and disbelieve,
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْمَشْـَٔمَةِ
but those who disbelieve in Our revelations will be on the left-hand side,
لَمْ يَكُنِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَةُ
Those who disbelieve among the People of the Book and the idolaters were not about to change their ways until they were sent clear evidence,
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ ٱلْبَرِيَّةِ
Those who disbelieve among the People of the Book and the idolaters will have the Fire of Hell, there to remain. They are the worst of creation.
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ
Say [Prophet], ‘Disbelievers:
