بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Say [Prophet], ‘Who gives you sustenance from the heavens and earth?’ Say, ‘God does,’ and ‘[One party of us] must be rightly guided and the other clearly astray.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘You will not be ques-tioned about our sins, nor will we be questioned about what you do.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘Our Lord will gather us together, then He will judge justly between us; He alone is the All Knowing Judge.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘Show me those you joined to Him as partners. No indeed! He alone is God, the Almighty, the All Wise.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have sent you [Prophet] only to bring good news and warning to all people, but most of them do not understand.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

And they say, ‘If what you say is true, when will this promise be fulfilled?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘You have an appointment for a Day which you cannot put off nor bring forward, even by a single moment.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The disbelievers say, ‘We will believe neither this Qur an nor the Scriptures that came before it.’ If only you could see [Prophet] how the wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Lord, hurling reproaches at one another. Those who were oppressed will say to the oppressors, ‘If it were not for you, we would have been believers.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The oppressors will say to them, ‘Was it we who prevented you from following right guidance after it had reached you? No! You yourselves were sinners.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The oppressed will say to them, ‘No, it was your scheming, night and day, ordering us to disbelieve in God and set up rivals to Him.’ When they see the punishment, they will fall silent with regret, and We shall put iron collars on the disbelievers’ necks. Why should they be rewarded for anything other than what they have done?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Never have We sent a warner to a community without those among them who were corrupted by wealth saying, ‘We do not believe in the message you have been sent with.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They would say, ‘We have greater wealth and more children than you, and we shall not be punished.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say [Prophet], ‘My Lord gives in abundance to whoever He will and sparingly to whoever He will, though most people do not understand.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Neither wealth nor children will bring you nearer to Us, but those who believe and do good deeds will have multiple rewards for what they have done, and will live safely in the lofty dwellings of Paradise,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

whereas those who work against Our messages, seeking to undermine them, will be summoned to punishment.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Say, ‘My Lord gives in abundance to whichever of His servants He will, and sparingly to whichever He will; He will replace whatever you give in alms; He is the best of providers.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

On the Day He gathers them all together, He will say to the angels, ‘Was it you these people worshipped?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They will reply, ‘May You be exalted! You are our supporter against them! Really, they worshipped the jinn- most of them believed in them.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

‘So today neither of you has any power to benefit or harm the other,’ We shall tell the evildoers, ‘Taste the torment of the fire which you called a lie.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When Our messages are recited to them, clear as they are, they say, ‘This is only a man who wants to turn you away from what your forefathers worshipped,’ and, ‘This [Quran] is nothing but lies he has made up.’ When the Truth comes to the disbelievers, they say, ‘This is just plain sorcery,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

though We have not given them any books to study nor sent any warner before you.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Those who lived before them also denied the truth- these people have not attained even a tenth of what We gave their predecessors- they, too, rejected My messengers, and how terrible My condemnation was!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
