|@ The signs of Allah in His creation of the heavens and earth 15:16-25
15:16 We have set constellations in the heavens and made them pleasing to the beholders,
# وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجاً وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ 16
15:17 and guarded them from every stoned satan.
# وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ 17
15:18 Except for he who steals the listening and is then pursued by a visible flame.
# إِلاَّ مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ 18
15:19 We have spread out the earth and set upon it firm mountains. Everything We have caused to grow therein is justly weighed;
# وَالأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ 19
15:20 and there appointed for you is a livelihood, and for those you do not provide.
# وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ 20
15:21 And there is not a thing but with Us are its treasuries, and We do not send it down except in a known measure.
# وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ عِندَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلاَّ بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ 21
15:22 We send the winds fertilizing, and We send down out of heaven water, from which you drink and you are not its treasurers.
# وَأَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُ وَمَا أَنتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِنِينَ 22
15:23 And surely, it is We who give life and make to die. We are the Inheritor.
# وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الوَارِثُونَ 23
15:24 We know those of you who press forward, and We know the laggards,
# وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا المُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا المُسْتَأْخِرِينَ 24
15:25 and it is your Lord who will gather them. He is Wise, Knowing.

|@ Jinn were created from smokeless fire 15:27
15:27 and before him (Adam, the father of mankind) We created the jinn from smokeless fire.

|@ The story of Prophet Adam and the pride of satan 15:28-44
15:28 When your Lord said to the angels, ‘See, I am creating a mortal from clay of molded mud.
# وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَراً مِّن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَأٍ مَّسْنُونٍ 28
15:29 When I have shaped him and ran My created soul in him fall down prostrating towards him’.
# فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ 29
15:30 All the angels prostrated themselves,
# فَسَجَدَ المَلائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ 30
$ The pride of satan and the declaration of his intention to mislead and pervert mankind 15:31-44
15:31 except iblis (father of the jinn) who refused to be one of those who prostrated themselves.
# إِلاَّ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَى أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ 31
15:32 He said, ‘iblis, what is the matter with you, that you do you not prostrate yourself? ‘
# قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلاَّ تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ 32
15:33 He replied, ‘I will not prostrate to a mortal You have created of clay, from molded mud.’
# قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَأٍ مَّسْنُونٍ 33
15:34 (Allah) said, ‘Begone, you are accursed!
# قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ 34
15:35 A curse shall be on you till the Day of Recompense.’
# وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ 35
15:36 He said, ‘My Lord, reprieve me till the Day they are raised.’

15:37 He answered, ‘You are among those reprieved
# قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ المُنظَرِينَ 37
15:38 till the appointed time.’
# إِلَى يَوْمِ الوَقْتِ المَعْلُومِ 38

15:40 except the devoted amongst Your worshippers.
# إِلاَّ عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ المُخْلَصِينَ 40
15:41 He (Allah) said, ‘This is for Me the Right Path
# قَالَ هَذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ 41
15:42 over My worshipers you have no authority, except the perverse that follow you.
# إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلاَّ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الغَاوِينَ 42

15:52 They entered to him and said, ‘Peace,’ but he replied, ‘We are afraid of you.’
# إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا سَلاماً قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ 52
15:53 ‘Do not be afraid,’ they answered. ‘We come to give you glad tidings of a knowledgeable child.’
# قَالُوا لاَ تَوْجَلْ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلامٍ عَلِيمٍ 53
15:54 He said, ‘What is this, do you bring me glad tidings even though I am old?’ Of what do you give me glad tidings?’
# قَالَ أَبَشَّرْتُمُونِي عَلَى أَن مَّسَّنِيَ الكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُونَ 54
15:55 They replied, ‘In truth we have given you glad tidings, do not be one of those who despair.’
# قَالُوا بَشَّرْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلاَ تَكُن مِّنَ القَانِطِينَ 55

15:57 He asked, ‘Messengers, what is your errand?’
# قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا المُرْسَلُونَ 57
15:58 They replied, ‘We are sent to sinful nation,

15:59 except Lot’s family, of whom we shall save all,
# إِلاَّ آلَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 59

# إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الغَابِرِينَ 60
15:61 And when the envoys came to the family of Lot,
# فَلَمَّا جَاءَ آلَ لُوطٍ المُرْسَلُونَ 61
15:62 he said to them, ‘I do not know you.’
# قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ 62
15:63 ‘No,’ they replied, ‘We bring you (news) of that concerning which they were doubting.
# قَالُوا بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ 63
15:64 We bring you the truth, and indeed we are truthful.
# وَأَتَيْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ 64
|@ Lot is told to depart during the night from the evil doing city 15:65-66
15:65 Depart with your family in a part of the night and walk behind them and let none of you turn round. Go to a place where you are commanded.’
# فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ أَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلاَ يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَامْضُوا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ 65
15:66 And We made known to him this decree that the wrongdoers were to be utterly cut off in the morning.
# وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَؤُلاءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ 66
|@ Lot pleads with his people not to shame him 15:67-71
15:67 The people of the city came to him rejoicing.
# وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ المَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ 67
15:68 He said, ‘These are my guests; do not shame me.

15:69 Fear Allah and do not disgrace me.’
# وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُخْزُونِ 69
15:70 They replied, ‘Have we not forbidden you (the people of) the worlds?’
# قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ العَالَمِينَ 70
15:71 He said, ‘Here are my daughters; take them (in marriage), if you would be doing.’
# قَالَ هَؤُلاءِ بَنَاتِي إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ 71
|@ The dreadful punishment that came upon Lot’s nation 15:72-77
15:72 By your life (Prophet Muhammad), they (Lot’s nation) wandered blindly in their dazzlement.
# لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ 72
15:73 At sunrise a dreadful Shout seized them.
# فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ 73
15:74 We laid it (the city) upside down and rained stones of baked clay upon them.
# فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ 74
15:75 Surely, in that there are signs for those who contemplate.
# إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ 75
15:76 Indeed, it is on a way which still exists.
# وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ 76
15:77 Surely, in that there is a sign for those who believe.
# إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 77
|@ The story of the dwellers of the Thicket and Al Hijr 15:78-84
15:78 The dwellers of the Thicket were harm doers.
# وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ 78
15:79 On them, too, We took vengeance, and they are both on a clear roadway.
# فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ 79
15:80 And the dwellers of Al Hijr also belied the Messengers.
# وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الحِجْرِ المُرْسَلِينَ 80
15:81 We brought them signs, but they turned away.
# وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ 81
15:82 They hewed their dwellings out of the mountains in safety.
# وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الجِبَالِ بُيُوتاً آمِنِينَ 82
15:83 But the Shout seized them in the morning,
# فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ 83
15:84 and that which they had earned did not help them.
# فَمَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ 84
|@ Allah alone is the Creator of the heavens and the earth 15:85-88
15:85 We did not create the heavens and the earth, and what is between them except in truth. The Hour is sure to come, therefore, forgive them with a gracious pardon.
# وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لآتِيَةٌ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ 85
15:86 Your Lord is the Creator, the Knower.
# إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الخَلاَّقُ العَلِيمُ 86
15:87 We have given you the seven dual (verses, Al Fatihah) and the Mighty Holy Reading (Koran).
# وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعاً مِّنَ المَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ العَظِيمَ 87
15:88 Do not stretch your eyes to that We have given pairs of them to enjoy, nor sorrow for them, and lower your wing to the believers.
# لاَ تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجاً مِّنْهُمْ وَلاَ تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِـينَ 88
|@ Prophet Muhammad was sent as a warner to mankind 15:89-99
15:89 And say, ‘I (Prophet Muhammad) am the plain warner.’
# وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ المُبِـينُ 89
15:90 So We sent it down to the partitioners,
# كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى المُقْتَسِمِـينَ 90
15:91 who have broken the Koran into parts,
# الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا القُرْآنَ عِضِينَ 91
15:92 so by your Lord, We will question them all
# فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 92
15:93 about what they did.
# عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ 93
15:94 Proclaim then, what you are commanded and turn away from the unbelievers.
# فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ المُشْرِكِينَ 94
15:95 We suffice you against those who mock,
# إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ المُسْتَهْزِئِينَ 95
15:96 and those who set up other gods with Allah, indeed, they will soon know.
# الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهاً آخَرَ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ 96
15:97 Indeed, We know your chest is straitened by that they say.
# وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ 97
15:98 Exalt with the praise of your Lord and be one of those who prostrate.
# فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ 98
15:99 Worship your Lord till the certainty (death) comes to you.

# يُنَزِّلُ المَلائِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرُوا أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنَا فَاتَّقُونِ 2

16:4 He created mankind from a sperm drop, yet he is a clear adversary.
# خَلَقَ الإِنسَانَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ 4

# وَالأَنْعَامَ خَلَقَهَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْءٌ وَمَنَافِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ 5

# وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ 6
16:7 They carry your loads to a land which you could not otherwise reach except by painful toil to oneself. Your Lord is the Clement, the Most Merciful.
# وَتَحْمِلُ أَثْقَالَكُمْ إِلَى بَلَدٍ لَّمْ تَكُونُوا بَالِغِيهِ إِلاَّ بِشِقِّ الأَنفُسِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ 7
16:8 (He has created for you) horses, mules, and donkeys, which you ride and as an adornment; and He creates what you do not know.
# وَالْخَيْلَ وَالْبِغَالَ وَالْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةً وَيَخْلُقُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ 8
16:9 It is for Allah to show the way. Some swerve from it, but had He willed, He would have guided all of you.
# وَعَلَى اللَّهِ قَصْدُ السَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَائِرٌ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 9
16:10 It is He who sends down water from heaven, which provides drink for you and brings forth trees on which your herds feed.
# هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً لَّكُم مِّنْهُ شَرَابٌ وَمِنْهُ شَجَرٌ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ 10
16:11 And thereby He brings forth crops and olives, palms and vines, and all the fruits. Surely, in this there is a sign for a nation who think.
# يُنبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ الزَّرْعَ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالنَّخِيلَ وَالأَعْنَابَ وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ 11

# وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفاً أَلْوَانُهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ 13
16:14 It is He who has subjected the sea to you, so that you eat of its soft flesh and bring up from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing their course through it in order that you seek His bounty and give thanks.
# وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ البَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْماً طَرِياًّ وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ 14
16:15 He set firm mountains upon the earth lest it should shake with you; and rivers, and roads, in order that you are guided.
# وَأَلْقَى فِي الأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَاراً وَسُبُلاً لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ 15
16:16 And waymarks; and by the star they are guided.

# وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ 19
16:20 But those whom you invoke, other than Allah, do not create anything they are themselves created.
# وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئاً وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ 20
16:21 They are dead, not living; and they do not know when they will be raised (to life).
# أَمْوَاتٌ غَيْرُ أَحْيَاءٍ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ 21
16:22 Your God is One God. Those who do not believe in the Everlasting Life their hearts disbelieve, and are puffed up with pride.
# إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَالَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالآخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٌ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ 22
16:23 Allah knows without doubt what they hide and what they make known. He does not love the proud.
# لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ المُسْتَكْبِرِينَ 23
16:24 And if they are asked, ‘What has your Lord revealed?’ they say, ‘Tales of the ancients, fairytales!’
# وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الأَوَّلِينَ 24
16:25 They shall carry their sins completely on the Day of Resurrection, and some of the sins of those who were led astray by them without knowledge. Evil is that which they sin.
# لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ وَمِنْ أَوْزَارِ الَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ أَلاَ سَاءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ 25
16:26 Those who have gone before them also plotted. Then, Allah came upon their building from the foundations, and the roof fell down on them from above them. And the punishment overtook them from where they did not know.
# قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَأَتَى اللَّهُ بُنْيَانَهُم مِّنَ القَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَأَتَاهُمُ العَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ 26
16:27 He will degrade them on the Day of Resurrection. He will say, ‘Where are My partners, for whose sake you opposed?’ And those to whom knowledge has been given will say, ‘Degradation today and evil are on the unbelievers,
# ثُمَّ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَاقُّونَ فِيهِمْ قَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا العِلْمَ إِنَّ الخِزْيَ اليَوْمَ وَالسُّوءَ عَلَى الكَافِرِينَ 27
16:28 whom the angels take while they were still harming themselves.’ Then they will offer submission, saying, ‘We have done no evil!’ No, surely Allah knows what you have done.
# الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ ظَالِمِي أَنفُسِهِمْ فَأَلْقَوُا السَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ مِن سُوءٍ بَلَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ 28
16:29 Enter the gates of Gehenna (Hell) to be in it forever. Evil is the lodging of the proud.
# فَادْخُلُوا أَبْوَابَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا فَلَبِئْسَ مَثْوَى المُتَكَبِّرِينَ 29
|@ The reward of believers 16:30-32
16:30 It is said to the cautious, ‘What has your Lord revealed?’ They will reply, ‘Good!’ For those who did good in this world is goodness; indeed the lodging in the Everlasting Life is better an excellent dwelling for the cautious.
# وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا مَاذَا أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمْ قَالُوا خَيْراً لِّلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ وَلَدَارُ الآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ وَلَنِعْمَ دَارُ المُتَّقِينَ 30
16:31 They shall enter the Gardens of Eden, under which rivers flow, and there they shall have all they desire. So Allah recompenses the cautious,
# جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ لَهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ كَذَلِكَ يَجْزِي اللَّهُ المُتَّقِينَ 31
16:32 whom the angels take while they are goodly, saying, ‘Peace be on you. Enter Paradise for what you were doing.’
# الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ يَقُولُونَ سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ادْخُلُوا الجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ 32
|@ Those who reject, belie and mock the Word of Allah 16:33-40
16:33 Are they looking for the angels to come down or the order of your Lord to come? As such did those who have gone before them. Allah did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves,
# هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلاَّ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ المَلائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَكِن كَانُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ 33
16:34 so the evil things which they did coiled around them, and they were encompassed by that they mocked.
# فَأَصَابَهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُ مَا عَمِلُوا وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ 34
16:35 The idolaters say, ‘Had Allah willed, neither we nor our fathers would have worshipped anything other than Him, nor would we have forbidden anything without Him’, as such did those before them. Yet what should Messengers do but give a clear deliverance?
# وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلاَ آبَاؤُنَا وَلاَ حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِ مِن شَيْءٍ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ إِلاَّ البَلاغُ المُبِينُ 35
16:36 We sent a Messenger to every nation, saying, ‘Worship Allah and avoid the idols.’ Amongst them were some whom Allah guided, and some justly disposed to error. Travel in the land and see what was the end of those who belied (the Revelation and the prophets)!
# وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلالَةُ فَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَانظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ المُكَذِّبِينَ 36
16:37 Though you are ever so eager to guide them, Allah will not guide those who mislead (others). There shall be none to help them.
# إِن تَحْرِصْ عَلَى هُدَاهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي مَن يُضِلُّ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّاصِرِينَ 37
16:38 They solemnly swear by Allah that Allah will never raise the dead to life. No, surely the promise of Allah is binding upon Him, though most people do not know.
# وَأَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمَانِهِمْ لاَ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُ بَلَى وَعْداً عَلَيْهِ حَقاًّ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ 38
16:39 This is in order that He may make clear to them that which they differed upon, and in order that those who disbelieve might know that they were indeed lying.
# لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِي يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا كَاذِبِينَ 39
