Al-Mumenoon
وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَاهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِمْ مِنْ ضُرٍّ لَلَجُّوا فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ75
Even if We were to show them mercy and relieve them of distress, they would blindly persist in their transgression
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ76
We have already afflicted them, yet they did not submit to their Lord: they will not humble themselves
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ77
until We open a gate to severe torment for them- then they will be plunged into utter despair
وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَا تَشْكُرُونَ78
It is God who endowed you with hearing, sight, and hearts- how seldom you are grateful
وَهُوَ الَّذِي ذَرَأَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ79
It is He who made you multiply on earth. It is to Him that you will be gathered
وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ80
it is He who gives life and death; the alternation of night and day depends on Him; will you not use your minds
بَلْ قَالُوا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُونَ81
But, like others before them
قَالُوا أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ82
they say, ‘What? When we die and turn to dust and bones, shall we really be resurrected
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَـٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ83
We have heard such promises before, and so did our forefathers. These are just ancient fables.’
قُلْ لِمَنِ الْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ84
Say [Prophet], ‘Who owns the earth and all who live in it, if you know [so much]?’
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ85
and they will reply, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Will you not take heed?’
قُلْ مَنْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ86
Say, ‘Who is the Lord of the seven heavens? Who is the Lord of the Mighty Throne?’
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ87
and they will reply, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Will you not be mindful?’
قُلْ مَنْ بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ88
Say, ‘Who holds control of everything in His hand? Who protects, while there is no protection against Him, if you know [so much]?’
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ فَأَنَّىٰ تُسْحَرُونَ89
and they will reply, ‘God.’ Say, ‘Then how can you be so deluded?’
