You ˹O Prophet˺ are truly one of the messengers
Lo! thou art of those sent
verily, thou art indeed one of God’s message-bearers,
No doubt, you.
You are indeed one of the Messengers

˹This is˺ a revelation from the Almighty, Most Merciful,
A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful,
by [virtue of] what is being bestowed from on high by the Almighty, the Dispenser of Grace,
Sent down by the Dignified, the Merciful.
This is revealed by the Almighty, Ever-Merciful
so that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, and so are heedless.
That thou mayst warn a folk whose fathers were not warned, so they are heedless.
[bestowed upon thee] so that thou mayest warn people whose forefathers had not been warned, and who therefore are unaware [of the meaning of right and wrong].
So that you may warn a people whose fathers were not warned so they are unaware.
That you may warn the people whose fathers were (also) not warned. So they are careless and neglectful
The decree ˹of torment˺ has already been justified against most of them, for they will never believe.
Already hath the judgment, (for their infidelity) proved true of most of them, for they believe not.
Indeed, the word [of God’s condemnation] is bound to come true against most of them: for they will not believe.
Undoubtedly, the word has been proved against most of them, so they shall not believe.
In fact, Our command has proved true against most of them. So they will not believe
˹It is as if˺ We have put shackles around their necks up to their chins, so their heads are forced up,
Lo! We have put on their necks carcans reaching unto the chins, so that they are made stiff-necked.
Behold, around their necks We have put shackles, reaching up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up;
We have put on their necks chains reaching to their chins, so they remained raising up their faces.
Surely, We have put iron collars round their necks reaching their chins. So they have raised their heads up
and have placed a barrier before them and a barrier behind them and covered them ˹all˺ up, so they fail to see ˹the truth˺.
And We have set a bar before them and a bar behind them, and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.
and We have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and We have enshrouded them in veils so that they cannot see:
And We have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them and covered them from above, therefore they see nothing
And We have set a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and We have cast a veil over their eyes so they do not see anything
It is the same whether you warn them or not—they will never believe.
Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not.
thus, it is all one to them whether thou warnest them or dost not warn them: they will not believe.
And it is equal for them whether you warn them or warn them not, they are not to believe.
And it is all the same for them whether you warn or do not warn them, they will not believe
You can only warn those who follow the Reminder and are in awe of the Most Compassionate without seeing Him. So give them good news of forgiveness and an honourable reward.
Thou warnest only him who followeth the Reminder and feareth the Beneficent in secret. To him bear tidings of forgiveness and a rich reward.
Thou canst [truly] warn only him who is willing to take the reminder to heart, and who stands in awe of the Most Gracious although He is beyond the reach of human perception: unto such, then, give the glad tiding of [God’s] forgiveness and of a most excellent reward!
You warn only him who follows admonition and fears the Most Affectionate without seeing, so give him glad tiding of forgiveness and a respectable reward.
You can only warn the one who follows the direction and guidance and fears the Most Kind (Lord) unseen. So give him the good news of forgiveness and a reward of great honour
It is certainly We Who resurrect the dead, and write what they send forth and what they leave behind. Everything is listed by Us in a perfect Record.
Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register.
Verily, We shall indeed bring the dead back to life; and We shall record whatever [deeds] they have sent ahead, and the traces [of good and evil] which they have left behind: for of all things do We take account in a record clear.
Undoubtedly, We shall give life to the dead and We are noting down what they have sent forward and what signs they have left behind and We have already kept counted every thing in a clean Book.
Surely, We alone raise the dead to life. And We are writing down (the deeds) which they have sent forward and their effects (that are left behind). And We have encompassed everything in the illumining Book (al-Lawh al-Mahfuz)
Give them an example ˹O Prophet˺ of the residents of a town, when the messengers came to them.
Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them;
AND SET FORTH unto them a parable - [the story of how] the people of a township [behaved] when [Our] message-bearers came unto them.
And narrate them the signs of the people of a city; when there came to them sent ones.
And narrate to them the (legendary) example of the people of a city (Antioch—an ancient city in Northern Syria) when there came to them some Messengers
We sent them two messengers, but they rejected both. So We reinforced ˹the two˺ with a third, and they declared, “We have indeed been sent to you ˹as messengers˺.”
When We sent unto them twain, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said: Lo! we have been sent unto you.
Lo! We sent unto them two [apostles], and. they gave the lie to both; and so We strengthened [the two] with a third; and thereupon they said: “Behold, we have been sent unto you [by God]!”
When We sent to them two. Then they belied them, so We strengthened them with a third, now they all said; verily we have been sent to you.'
When (at first) We sent to them two Messengers, they rejected them both. Then We reinforced (them) with a third (Messenger). Then the three of them said: ‘Surely, we have been sent to you.
The people replied, “You are only humans like us, and the Most Compassionate has not revealed anything. You are simply lying!”
They said: Ye are but mortals like unto us. The Beneficent hath naught revealed. Ye do but lie!
[The others] answered: “You are nothing but mortal men like ourselves; moreover, the Most Gracious has never bestowed aught [of revelation] from on high. You do nothing but lie!”
They said, 'you are not, but a man like us and the Most Affectionate has sent down nothing, you are only lying.
(The people of the city) said: ‘You are but human beings like us, and the Most Kind (Lord) has not sent down anything. You are only lying.
The messengers responded, “Our Lord knows that we have truly been sent to you.
They answered: Our Lord knoweth that we are indeed sent unto you,
Said [the apostles]: “Our Sustainer knows that we have indeed been sent unto you;
They said, 'our Lord Knows that undoubtedly, we have necessarily been sent to you'.
(The Messengers) said: ‘Surely, our Lord knows that we have been sent to you
And our duty is only to deliver ˹the message˺ clearly.”
And our duty is but plain conveyance (of the message).
but we are not bound to do more than clearly deliver the message [entrusted to us].”
And on us is not but clear deliverance.
And there is nothing binding upon us except to communicate the message clearly.
The people replied, “We definitely see you as a bad omen for us. If you do not desist, we will certainly stone you ˹to death˺ and you will be touched with a painful punishment from us.”
(The people of the city) said: We augur ill of you. If ye desist not, we shall surely stone you, and grievous torture will befall you at our hands.
Said [the others]: “Truly, we augur evil from you! Indeed, if you desist not, we will surely stone you, and grievous suffering is bound to befall you at our hands!”
They said, we augur ill of you, undoubtedly, if you desist not, we shall then surely stone you, and a painful chastisement from us will certainly fall you.
(The people of the city) said: ‘An evil omen has reached us from you. If you do not desist, we shall certainly stone you, and you will definitely suffer an agonizing punishment at our hands.
The messengers said, “Your bad omen lies within yourselves. Are you saying this because you are reminded ˹of the truth˺? In fact, you are a transgressing people.”
They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth)? Nay, but ye are froward folk!
[The apostles] replied: “Your destiny, good or evil, is [bound up] with yourselves! [Does it seem evil to you] if you are told to take [the truth] to heart? Nay, but you are people who have wasted their own selves!”
They said, 'your ill star is with you. Do you start on it that you are made to understand? Nay, you are a people exceeding the limit.
(The Messengers) said: ‘Your evil omen is with you. Is it an evil omen that you are admonished? Nay, but you are a people who exceed limits.
Then from the farthest end of the city a man came, rushing. He advised, “O my people! Follow the messengers.
And there came from the uttermost part of the city a man running. He cried: O my people! Follow those who have been sent!
At that, a man came running from the farthest end of the city, [and] exclaimed: “O my people! Follow these message-bearers!
And from the remote part of the city. there came a man running He said, 'O my people, follow the sent ones.'
And a person came running from the farthest end of the city. He said: ‘O my people, follow the Messengers
Follow those who ask no reward of you, and are ˹rightly˺ guided.
Follow those who ask of you no fee, and who are rightly guided.
Follow those who ask no reward of you, and themselves are rightly guided!
Follow those who do not ask any reward of you and they are on the right course.
Follow those who do not ask from you any compensation and who are rightly guided
And why should I not worship the One Who has originated me, and to Whom you will be returned.
For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back?
“[As for me,] why should I not worship Him who has brought me into being, and to whom you all will be brought back?
And what is to me that I should not worship Him Who created me and you are to return only to Him.
And what is the matter with me that I should not worship Him Who has created me and to Him (all of) you will be returned
How could I take besides Him other gods whose intercession would not be of any benefit to me, nor could they save me if the Most Compassionate intended to harm me?
Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save?
Should I take to worshipping [other] deities beside Him? [But then,] if the Most Gracious should will that harm befall me, their intercession could not in the least avail me, nor could they save me:
Shall I take, besides Allah, other gods that if the Most Affectionate intends any harm, their intercession shall not be of any use to me and nor would they save me?
Should I take such gods apart from Him (Allah) that if the Most Kind (Lord) intends to do me any harm, their intercession would not bring me any benefit, nor would they be able to rescue me
Indeed, I would then be clearly astray.
Then truly I should be in error manifest.
and so, behold, I would have indeed, most obviously, lost myself in error!
Undoubtedly then I am in a clear error.
Then, certainly, I would be in open error
I do believe in your Lord, so listen to me.”
Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me!
“Verily, [O my people,] in the Sustainer of you all have I come to believe: listen, then, to me!”
Undoubtedly I believed in your Lord, so listen to me.
Surely, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me (attentively).
˹But they killed him, then˺ he was told ˹by the angels˺, “Enter Paradise!” He said, “If only my people knew
It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my people knew
[And] he was told, “[Thou shalt] enter paradise!” - [whereupon] he exclaimed: “Would that my people knew
It was said to him, enter the garden. He said, 'would that my people knew.'
(The disbelievers martyred him; then it) was said (to him): ‘(Come,) enter Paradise.’ He said: ‘Alas! Would that my people knew
of how my Lord has forgiven me, and made me one of the honourable.”
With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honoured ones!
how my Sustainer has forgiven me [the sins of my past], and has placed me among the honoured ones!”
As my Lord has forgiven me and has made me of the honored ones.
That my Lord has forgiven me, and put me amongst the honoured and near ones.
We did not send any soldiers from the heavens against his people after his death, nor did We need to.
We sent not down against his people after him a host from heaven, nor do We ever send.
And after that, no host out of heaven did We send down against his people, nor did We need to send down any:
And We sent not against his people after him any army from the heaven and nor We ever to send down there any army.
And, after him, We did not send any army (of angels) from the heaven to his people, nor were We to send down (angels to destroy them)
All it took was one ˹mighty˺ blast, and they were extinguished at once.
It was but one Shout, and lo! they were extinct.
nothing was [needed] but one single blast [of Our punishment] - and lo! they became as still and silent as ashes.
It was but only a shriek, hence they remained extinguished.
(Their torment) was nothing but a Mighty Blast, and there were they extinguished (dead like charred coal)
Oh pity, such beings! No messenger ever came to them without being mocked.
Ah, the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him!
OH, THE REGRETS that [most] human beings will have to bear! Never has an apostle come to them without their deriding him!
(And it was said) Ah! Woes on those bondmen, when any Messenger comes to them, they merely mock at them.
Ah! Woe to (these) servants! Never did a Messenger come to them but they used to mock him
Have the deniers not considered how many peoples We destroyed before them who never came back to life again?
Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed returned not unto them;
Are they not aware of how many a generation We have destroyed before their time, [and] that those [that have perished] will never return to them,
Have they not seen that how many generations before them We have destroyed? Now they are not to return to them.
Have they not seen how many communities We destroyed before them, and that now they will not return to them
Yet they will all be brought before Us.
But all, without exception, will be brought before Us.
and [that] all of them, all together, will [in the end] before Us be arraigned?
And all of them shall be made to appear before Us.
But that all of them will be brought before Our presence
There is a sign for them in the dead earth: We give it life, producing grain from it for them to eat.
A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof;
And [yet,] they have a sign [of Our power to create and to resurrect] in the lifeless earth which We make alive, and out of which We bring forth grain, whereof they may eat;
And a sign for them is the dead earth We gave life to it and We brought forth grains from it. then they eat therefrom.
And a sign for them is the dead earth to which We gave life, and We brought forth from it (grain); then they eat of it
And We have placed in it gardens of palm trees and grapevines, and caused springs to gush forth in it,
And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein,
and [how] We make gardens of date-palms and vines [grow] thereon, and cause springs to gush [forth] within it,
And We made therein gardens of dates and vines and We caused to gush forth springs therein.
And We produced in it gardens of date-palms and grapes, and also caused some springs as well to gush forth in it
so that they may eat from its fruit, which they had no hand in making. Will they not then give thanks?
That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?
so that they may eat of the fruit thereof, though it was not their hands that made it. Will they not, then, be grateful?
In order that they may eat the fruits thereof and it is not made of their hands. Will then they not be grateful?
So that they may eat of its fruits. And it is not their hands that made it. Do they not thank (even) then
Glory be to the One Who created all ˹things in˺ pairs—˹be it˺ what the earth produces, their genders, or what they do not know!
Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not!
Limitless in His glory is He who has created opposites in whatever the earth produces, and in men’s own selves, and in that of which [as yet] they have no knowledge.
Sanctified is He who has made all pairs of what the earth grows, of themselves, and of those things of which they have no knowledge.
Glory be to Him Who created everything in pairs of those the earth grows and of themselves as well and, (moreover,) of the things they do not know
There is also a sign for them in the night: We strip from it daylight, then—behold!—they are in darkness.
A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness.
And [of Our sway over all that exists] they have a sign in the night: We withdraw from it the [light of] day - and lo! they are in darkness.
And a sign for them is the night, We draw off the day therefrom, hence they are in darkness.
And (also) a sign for them is the night: (how) We draw the day out from it! So then they are left in darkness
The sun travels for its fixed term. That is the design of the Almighty, All-Knowing.
And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.
And [they have a sign in] the sun: it runs in an orbit of its own [and] that is laid down by the will of the Almighty, the All-Knowing;
And the sun runs to its appointed resting-place. This is the commandment of the Dominant, the Knowing.
And the sun is constantly rotating (non-stop) for its appointed destination. It is a measure fixed by the Almighty, All-Knowing (Lord)
As for the moon, We have ordained ˹precise˺ phases for it, until it ends up like an old, curved palm stalk.
And for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf.
and [in] the moon, for which We have determined phases [which it must traverse] till it becomes like an old date-stalk, dried-up and curved:
And We have appointed stages for the moon till it becomes again like an old branch of palm tree.
And We have also appointed stages (of motion and rotation) of the moon till (its appearance to the dwellers of the earth wanes to) the semblance of an old dry branch of a palm-tree
It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon, nor does the night outrun the day. Each is travelling in an orbit of their own.
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
[and] neither may the sun overtake the moon, nor can the night usurp the time of day, since all of them float through space [in accordance with Our laws].
It is not for the sun that it might catch the moon and nor the night may supercede the day. And each one is floating in an orbit.
Neither can the sun (deviate from its orbit and) overtake the moon, nor can the night precede the day, and all (the stars and planets) are moving in their respective orbits
Another sign for them is that We carried their ancestors ˹with Noah˺ in the fully loaded Ark,
And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship,
And [it ought to be] a sign for them that We bear their offspring [over the seas] in laden ships,

and created for them similar things to ride in.
And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride.
and [that] We create for them things of a similar kind, on which they may embark [in their travels];
And We have created for them similar (vessels) on which they ride.
And like this (Ark) We made for them (many other means of transport) which they ride
If We willed, We could drown them: then no one would respond to their cries, nor would they be rescued—
And if We will, We drown them, and there is no help for them, neither can they be saved;
and [that,] if such be Our will, We may cause them to drown, with none to respond to their cry for help: and [then] they cannot be saved,
And if We please, We may drown them, then there will be none to reach to their cry nor they shall be rescued.
And if We intend, We drown them. Then there will not be any to respond to their cry, nor will they be saved anyway
except by mercy from Us, allowing them enjoyment for a ˹little˺ while.
Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while.
unless it be by an act of mercy from Us and a grant of life for a [further span of] time.
But a mercy from Us and a convenience for a time.
Except for Our mercy and (this) provision is for an appointed term
˹Still they turn away˺ when it is said to them, “Beware of what is ahead of you ˹in the Hereafter˺ and what is behind you ˹of destroyed nations˺ so you may be shown mercy.”
When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy (they are heedless).
And [yet,] when they are told, “Beware of [God’s insight into] all that lies open before you and all that is hidden from you, so that you might be graced with His mercy,” [most men choose to remain deaf;]
And when it is said to them, 'fear what is before you and what is to come behind you that perchance you may receive mercy, then they turn their faces'.
And (recall) when it is said to them: ‘Fear that (torment) which is before you and which is behind you so that you may be shown mercy.
Whenever a sign comes to them from their Lord, they turn away from it.
Never came a token of the tokens of their Lord to them, but they did turn away from it!
and no message of their Sustainer s messages ever reaches them without their turning away from it.
And whenever there comes to them any sign out of the signs of their Lord, they turn their faces from it.
And not a sign of the signs of their Lord comes to them but they turn away from it
And when it is said to them, “Donate from what Allah has provided for you,” the disbelievers say to the believers, “Why should we feed those whom Allah could have fed if He wanted to? You are clearly astray!”
And when it is said unto them: Spend of that wherewith Allah hath provided you, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Shall we feed those whom Allah, if He willed, would feed? Ye are in naught else than error manifest.
Thus, when they are told, “Spend on others out of what God has provided for you as sustenance,” those who are bent on denying the truth say unto those who believe, “Shall we feed anyone whom, if [your] God had so willed, He could have fed [Himself]? Clearly, you are but lost in error!”
And when it is said to them, spend something out of that with which Allah has provided you', then the infidels say to the Muslims, 'shall we feed those whom Allah would have fed, if He had so willed? You are not but in a manifest error.
And when it is said to them: ‘Spend (in the way of Allah) of what Allah has given you,’ the disbelievers say to the believers: ‘Shall we feed that (poor) man whom, if Allah so willed, He would feed (Himself)?’ You are but (caught) in clear error
And they ask ˹the believers˺, “When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?”
And they say: When will this promise be fulfilled, if ye are truthful?
And they add, “When is this promise [of resurrection] to be fulfilled? [Answer this] if you are men of truth!”
And they say, 'when this promise will come, if you are truthful?
And they say: ‘When will this promise (of the Last Hour) be fulfilled if you are truthful?
They must be awaiting a single Blast, which will seize them while they are ˹entrenched˺ in ˹worldly˺ disputes.
They await but one Shout, which will surprise them while they are disputing.
[And they are unaware that] nothing awaits them beyond a single blast [of God’s punishment], which will overtake them while they are still arguing - [against resurrection]:
They wait not but for a shriek that will seize them when they will be busy in worldly disputes.
They are simply waiting for a Mighty Blast which will seize them (all of a sudden), and they will be disputing amongst themselves
Then they will not be able to make a ˹last˺ will, nor can they return to their own people.
Then they cannot make bequest, nor can they return to their own folk.
and so [sudden will be their end that] no testament will they be able to make, - nor to their own people will they return!
Then neither they will be able to make a will nor will they return to their homes.
Then they will not be able to make a will or to return to their families
The Trumpet will be blown ˹a second time˺, then—behold!—they will rush from the graves to their Lord.
And the trumpet is blown and lo! from the graves they hie unto their Lord,
And [then] the trumpet [of resurrection] will be blown - and lo! out of their graves towards their Sustainer will they all rush forth!
And the trumpet shall be blown, henceforth they will walk running towards their Lord from their graves.
And (when) the Trumpet will be blown (again) they will come out of the graves at once and run towards their Lord
They will cry, “Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of rest? This must be what the Most Compassionate warned us of; the messengers told the truth!”
Crying: Woe upon us! Who hath raised us from our place of sleep? This is that which the Beneficent did promise, and the messengers spoke truth.
They will say: “Oh, woe unto us! Who has roused us from our sleep [of death]?” [Whereupon they will be told:] “This is what the Most Gracious has promised! And His message-bearers spoke the truth!”
They will say, 'Ah', woe to us', who has awakened us from our sleeping. This is what the Most Affectionate had promised and the Messengers told the truth.
(Seeing the horrors of the Hour of Resurrection,) they will say: ‘Ah, woe to us! Who has raised us from our sleeping places? This (coming back to life) is the same that the Most Kind (Lord) promised and the Messengers spoke the truth.
It will only take one Blast, then at once they will all be brought before Us.
It is but one Shout, and behold them brought together before Us!
Nothing will there have been but one single blast - and lo! before Us will all of them be arraigned [and be told]:
It will not be but a horrible shrieking, henceforth they all shall be presented before Us.
This will only be a Mighty Blast. Then all of them will be brought to Our presence straight away
On that Day no soul will be wronged in the least, nor will you be rewarded except for what you used to do.
This day no soul is wronged in aught; nor are ye requited aught save what ye used to do.
“Today, then, no human being shall be wronged in the least, nor shalt you be requited for aught but what you were doing [on earth].
So today no soul shall be wronged, and you shall not be recompensed but what you have done.
So Today no soul will be wronged in the least. Nor will you be rewarded except for the deeds you used to do
Indeed, on that Day the residents of Paradise will be busy enjoying themselves.

Surely, the residents of Paradise will be rejoicing Today (in their) favourite pastime pursuits (like spiritual visits, entertainments, sessions of hymns and eulogies)
They and their spouses will be in ˹cool˺ shade, reclining on ˹canopied˺ couches.
They and their wives, in pleasant shade, on thrones reclining;
in happiness will they and their spouses on couches recline;
They and their wives are in shades reclining on raised couches.
They and their wives will be reclining on raised couches under the deep, calming shades
There they will have fruits and whatever they desire.
Theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;
[only] delight will there be for them, and theirs shall be all that they could ask for:
There is a fruit therein for them and there is for them whatever they ask for.
There they will be provided with fruits (of every kind) and will find (available) everything they will solicit
And “Peace!” will be ˹their˺ greeting from the Merciful Lord.
The word from a Merciful Lord (for them) is: Peace!
peace and fulfillment through the word of a Sustainer who dispenses all grace.
Peace will be on them, a word from the Merciful Lord.
‘Peace (be upon you)!’ (This) greeting will be conveyed (to them) from the Ever-Merciful Lord
˹Then the disbelievers will be told,˺ “Step away ˹from the believers˺ this Day, O wicked ones!
But avaunt ye, O ye guilty, this day!
“But stand aside today, O you who were lost in sin!
And to day, be separate, O you culprits!
‘And, O evildoers, get aside (from the righteous) this Day
Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, not to follow Satan, for he is truly your sworn enemy,
Did I not charge you, O ye sons of Adam, that ye worship not the devil - Lo! he is your open foe! -
Did I not enjoin on you, O you children of Adam, that you should not worship Satan – since, verily, he is your open foe
'O children of Adam, Had I not made covenant with you that you should not worship the devil (Satan), verily he is your manifest enemy.
O Children of Adam! Did I not take this covenant from you not to worship Satan; no doubt he is your open enemy
but to worship Me ˹alone˺? This is the Straight Path.
But that ye worship Me? That was the right path.
and that you should worship Me [alone]? This would have been a straight way!
And that you should worship Me. This is the straight path.
And that you keep worshipping Me alone? That is the straight path
Yet he already misled great multitudes of you. Did you not have any sense?
Yet he hath led astray of you a great multitude. Had ye then no sense?
And [as for Satan -] he had already led astray a great many of you: could you not, then, use your reason?
And undoubtedly, he has led astray a great number of people from you. Had you then no wisdom?
And surely, he led great many of you astray, so had you not any wisdom
This is the Hell you were warned of.
This is hell which ye were promised (if ye followed him).
“This, then, is the hell of which you were warned again and again:
This is the Hell, which you were promised.
This is the same Hell that was being promised to you

And to whosoever We give long life, We revert him in creation. Do they then not understand?
And someone whom We give long life, We cause him to degenerate (towards childhood and debility) in strength and disposition. So, do they not have sense
We have not taught him poetry, nor is it fitting for him. This ˹Book˺ is only a Reminder and a clear Quran
And We have not taught him (Muhammad) poetry, nor is it meet for him. This is naught else than a Reminder and a Lecture making plain,

They can not help them, but they and their army all shall be brought before arrested.
These idols are incapable of helping them. And these (disbelievers and polytheists) will be an army of these (idols) that will be brought (into Hell together)

Therefore let not their speech grieve you, Undoubtedly, We know what they conceal and what they disclose.
So let not what they utter hurt you. Surely, We know whatever they hide and whatever they make public

Hath not man seen that We have created him from a drop of seed? Yet lo! he is an open opponent.

And they argue with Us—forgetting they were created—saying, “Who will give life to decayed bones?”
And he hath coined for Us a similitude, and hath forgotten the fact of his creation, saying: Who will revive these bones when they have rotted away?
And [now] he [argues about Us, and] thinks of Us in terms of comparison, and is oblivious of how he himself was created! [And so] he says, “Who could give life to bones that have crumbled to dust?”

All it takes, when He wills something ˹to be˺, is simply to say to it: “Be!” And it is!

His command (of creation) is only that when He intends (to create) something, He says to it: ‘Be,’ so it instantly becomes (existent or visible and continues becoming)
