Say, ‘Pray to your so-called gods besides God: they do not control even the weight of a speck of dust in heaven or earth, nor do they have any share in them, nor are any of them any help to God.

Intercession will not work with Him, except by those to whom He gives permission.’ They will be asked, after the terror is lifted from their hearts [on the Day of Judgement], ‘What did your Lord speak?’ and they will answer, ‘The Truth. He is the Most High, the Most Great.’

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.’

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

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

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

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

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

قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةࣲ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِيهِمَا مِن شِرْكࣲ وَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْهُم مِّن ظَهِيرࣲ

وَلَا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُۥۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا۟ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْۖ قَالُوا۟ ٱلْحَقَّۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِيُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

۞ قُلْ مَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۖ قُلِ ٱللَّهُۖ وَإِنَّآ أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَىٰ هُدًى أَوْ فِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينࣲ

قُل لَّا تُسْـَٔلُونَ عَمَّآ أَجْرَمْنَا وَلَا نُسْـَٔلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ بَيْنَنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُوَ ٱلْفَتَّاحُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ إِلَّا كَآفَّةࣰ لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيرࣰا وَنَذِيرࣰا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

قُل لَّكُم مِّيعَادُ يَوْمࣲ لَّا تَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ عَنْهُ سَاعَةࣰ وَلَا تَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

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.’

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.’

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?

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.’

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

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

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْمِنَ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَلَا بِٱلَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِۗ وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ مَوْقُوفُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ٱلْقَوْلَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أَنتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُؤْمِنِينَ

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوٓا۟ أَنَحْنُ صَدَدْنَٰكُمْ عَنِ ٱلْهُدَىٰ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَكُمۖ بَلْ كُنتُم مُّجْرِمِينَ

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ بَلْ مَكْرُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذْ تَأْمُرُونَنَآ أَن نَّكْفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادࣰاۚ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَۚ وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلْأَغْلَٰلَ فِيٓ أَعْنَاقِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ۖ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِي قَرْيَةࣲ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ

وَقَالُوا۟ نَحْنُ أَكْثَرُ أَمْوَٰلࣰا وَأَوْلَٰدࣰا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

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,

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

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.’

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

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

‘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.’

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,’

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

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!

وَمَآ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَٰدُكُم بِٱلَّتِي تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِندَنَا زُلْفَىٰٓ إِلَّا مَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحࣰا فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَزَآءُ ٱلضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُوا۟ وَهُمْ فِي ٱلْغُرُفَٰتِ ءَامِنُونَ

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مُعَٰجِزِينَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِي ٱلْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۥۚ وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَيْءࣲ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُۥۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعࣰا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِيَّاكُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ

قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِمۖ بَلْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ ٱلْجِنَّۖ أَكْثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّؤْمِنُونَ

فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضࣲ نَّفْعࣰا وَلَا ضَرࣰّا وَنَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ ٱلَّتِي كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا بَيِّنَٰتࣲ قَالُوا۟ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا رَجُلࣱ يُرِيدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُمْ عَمَّا كَانَ يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُكُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكࣱ مُّفْتَرࣰىۚ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُمْ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ

وَمَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّن كُتُبࣲ يَدْرُسُونَهَاۖ وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِن نَّذِيرࣲ

وَكَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا بَلَغُوا۟ مِعْشَارَ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ رُسُلِيۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

Say [Prophet], ‘I advise you to do one thing only: stand before God, in pairs or singly, and think: there is no sign of madness in your companion [the Prophet]- he is only warning you before severe suffering arrives.’

Say, ‘If I have asked you for any reward, you can keep it. It is God alone who will reward me: He is witness to everything.’

Say, ‘My Lord hurls the Truth down [before you]. He has full knowledge of all that is unseen.’

Say, ‘The Truth has come; falsehood is powerless.’

Say, ‘If I go astray, that is my loss, and if I am rightly guided, it is through what my Lord has revealed to me. He is all hearing, and ever near.’

۞ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَعِظُكُم بِوَٰحِدَةٍۖ أَن تَقُومُوا۟ لِلَّهِ مَثْنَىٰ وَفُرَٰدَىٰ ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُوا۟ۚ مَا بِصَاحِبِكُم مِّن جِنَّةٍۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا نَذِيرࣱ لَّكُم بَيْنَ يَدَيْ عَذَابࣲ شَدِيدࣲ

قُلْ مَا سَأَلْتُكُم مِّنْ أَجْرࣲ فَهُوَ لَكُمْۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءࣲ شَهِيدࣱ

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّي يَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَّٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ

قُلْ جَآءَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَمَا يُبْدِئُ ٱلْبَٰطِلُ وَمَا يُعِيدُ

قُلْ إِن ضَلَلْتُ فَإِنَّمَآ أَضِلُّ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِيۖ وَإِنِ ٱهْتَدَيْتُ فَبِمَا يُوحِيٓ إِلَيَّ رَبِّيٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ سَمِيعࣱ قَرِيبࣱ

[Prophet], if you could only see their terror! There will be no escape when they are seized from a nearby place;

they will say, ‘Now we believe in it,’ but how can they reach it from such a distant place-

they denied it all in the past, and threw conjecture from a faroff place-

when a barrier has been placed between them and what they desire, just as was done with their kind before? They were deep in doubt and suspicion.

وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ فَزِعُوا۟ فَلَا فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُوا۟ مِن مَّكَانࣲ قَرِيبࣲ

وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلتَّنَاوُشُ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدࣲ

وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ مِن قَبْلُۖ وَيَقْذِفُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ مِن مَّكَانِۭ بَعِيدࣲ

وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ فِي شَكࣲّ مُّرِيبِۭ
