Az-Zukhruf
إِنَّ الْمُجْرِمِينَ فِي عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدُونَ74
But the evildoers will remain in Hell’s punishment
لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ75
from which there is no relief: they will remain in utter despair
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَـٰكِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ الظَّالِمِينَ76
We never wronged them; they were the ones who did wrong
وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ ۖ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَاكِثُونَ77
They will cry, ‘Malik, if only your Lord would finish us off,’ but he will answer, ‘No! You are here to stay.’
لَقَدْ جِئْنَاكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَارِهُونَ78
We have brought you the Truth but most of you despise it
أَمْ أَبْرَمُوا أَمْرًا فَإِنَّا مُبْرِمُونَ79
Have these disbelievers thought up some scheme? We too have been scheming
أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ ۚ بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ80
Do they think We cannot hear their secret talk and their private counsel? Yes we can: Our messengers are at their sides, recording everything
قُلْ إِنْ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْعَابِدِينَ81
Say [Prophet], ‘If the Lord of Mercy [truly] had offspring I would be the first to worship [them], but
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ82
exalted be the Lord of the heavens and earth, the Lord of the Throne- He is far above their false descriptions.’
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَيَلْعَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ83
Leave them to wade in deeper and play about, until they face the Day they have been promised
وَهُوَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ إِلَـٰهٌ وَفِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَـٰهٌ ۚ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ84
It is He who is God in heaven and God on earth; He is the All Wise, the All Knowing
وَتَبَارَكَ الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَعِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ85
Exalted is He who has control of the heavens and earth and everything between them; He has knowledge of the Hour; you will all be returned to Him
وَلَا يَمْلِكُ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنْ شَهِدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ86
Those gods they invoke besides Him have no power of intercession, unlike those who bore witness to the truth and recognized it
وَلَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ87
If you [Prophet] ask them who created them they are sure to say, ‘God,’ so why are they so deluded
وَقِيلِهِ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ88
The Prophet has said, ‘My Lord, truly these are people who do not believe,’
فَاصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَامٌ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ89
but turn away from them and say, ‘Peace’: they will come to know
