Surah Ar Ra'd With English Translations

الٓـمّٓرٰ- تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْكِتٰبِؕ-وَ الَّذِیْۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ(1)

Alif, Lam, Mim, Ra. These are the verses of the Book. And what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most of the people do not believe. (1)

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِیْ رَفَعَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَیْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَ سَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَؕ-كُلٌّ یَّجْرِیْ لِاَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىؕ-یُدَبِّرُ الْاَمْرَ یُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوْقِنُوْنَ(2)

It is Allah who raised the heavens without any pillars that you [can] see; then He established Himself above the Throne and made subject the sun and the moon, each running [its course] for a specified term. He arranges [all] affairs; He details the signs that you may be certain of the meeting with your Lord. (2)

وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ مَدَّ الْاَرْضَ وَ جَعَلَ فِیْهَا رَوَاسِیَ وَ اَنْهٰرًاؕ-وَ مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ جَعَلَ فِیْهَا زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ یُغْشِی الَّیْلَ النَّهَارَؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ(3)

And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all fruits He made therein two mates; He draws the night over the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought. (3)

وَ فِی الْاَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجٰوِرٰتٌ وَّ جَنّٰتٌ مِّنْ اَعْنَابٍ وَّ زَرْعٌ وَّ نَخِیْلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَّ غَیْرُ صِنْوَانٍ یُّسْقٰى بِمَآءٍ وَّاحِدٍ- وَ نُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلٰى بَعْضٍ فِی الْاُكُلِؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ(4)

And on the earth are adjoining tracts and gardens of grapevines and crops and palm trees, [growing] in single and multiple [trunks], watered by one water; but We make some of them exceed others in [quality of] fruit. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason. (4)

وَ اِنْ تَعْجَبْ فَعَجَبٌ قَوْلُهُمْ ءَاِذَا كُنَّا تُرٰبًا ءَاِنَّا لَفِیْ خَلْقٍ جَدِیْدٍ ﱟ اُولٰٓىٕكَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ الْاَغْلٰلُ فِیْۤ اَعْنَاقِهِمْۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(5)

And if you wonder, [O Muhammad], then wondrous is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [returned] in a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally. (5)

وَ یَسْتَعْجِلُوْنَكَ بِالسَّیِّئَةِ قَبْلَ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمُ الْمَثُلٰتُؕ-وَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُوْ مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلٰى ظُلْمِهِمْۚ-وَ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ(6)

And they urge you to hasten the evil [punishment] before the good, while there have already occurred before them similar punishments. And indeed, your Lord is full of forgiveness for the people despite their wrongdoing, and indeed, your Lord is severe in penalty. (6)

وَ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ لَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ اٰیَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖؕ-اِنَّمَاۤ اَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ وَّ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ(7)

And those who disbelieved say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" You are only a warner, and for every people is a guide. (7)

اَللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ اُنْثٰى وَ مَا تَغِیْضُ الْاَرْحَامُ وَ مَا تَزْدَادُؕ-وَ كُلُّ شَیْءٍ عِنْدَهٗ بِمِقْدَارٍ(8)

Allah knows what every female carries and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed [in development]. And everything with Him is by due measure. (8)

عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الْكَبِیْرُ الْمُتَعَالِ(9)

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Grand, the Exalted. (9)

سَوَآءٌ مِّنْكُمْ مَّنْ اَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَ مَنْ جَهَرَ بِهٖ وَ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَخْفٍۭ بِالَّیْلِ وَ سَارِبٌۢ بِالنَّهَارِ(10)

It is all the same [to Him] whether any of you conceal his speech or publicizes it, and whether he is hidden by night or goes forth by day. (10)

لَهٗ مُعَقِّبٰتٌ مِّنْۢ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهٖ یَحْفَظُوْنَهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُغَیِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتّٰى یُغَیِّرُوْا مَا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْؕ-وَ اِذَاۤ اَرَادَ اللّٰهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوْٓءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهٗۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ وَّالٍ(11)

For each one are successive [angels] before him and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron. (11)

هُوَ الَّذِیْ یُرِیْكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَّ طَمَعًا وَّ یُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ(12)

It is He who shows you lightning, [causing] fear and aspiration, and generates the heavy clouds. (12)

وَ یُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهٖ وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ مِنْ خِیْفَتِهٖۚ-وَ یُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَیُصِیْبُ بِهَا مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ هُمْ یُجَادِلُوْنَ فِی اللّٰهِۚ-وَ هُوَ شَدِیْدُ الْمِحَالِﭤ(13)

And the thunder exalts [Allah] with praise of Him, and the angels [do so] out of fear of Him. And He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah; and He is severe in might. (13)

لَهٗ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّؕ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا یَسْتَجِیْبُوْنَ لَهُمْ بِشَیْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّیْهِ اِلَى الْمَآءِ لِیَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَ مَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهٖؕ-وَ مَا دُعَآءُ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ(14)

To Him [alone] is the true invocation. And those [deities] they invoke besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands [in vain] toward water [from afar, thinking] it will reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [ever]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error. (14)

وَ لِلّٰهِ یَسْجُدُ مَنْ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَّ كَرْهًا وَّ ظِلٰلُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْاٰصَالِ(15)

And to Allah prostrates whoever is within the heavens and the earth, willingly or by compulsion, and their shadows [as well] in the mornings and the afternoons. (15)

قُلْ مَنْ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِؕ-قُلِ اللّٰهُؕ-قُلْ اَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اَوْلِیَآءَ لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ لِاَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَّ لَا ضَرًّاؕ-قُلْ هَلْ یَسْتَوِی الْاَعْمٰى وَ الْبَصِیْرُ ﳔ اَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِی الظُّلُمٰتُ وَ النُّوْرُ ﳛ اَمْ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُوْا كَخَلْقِهٖ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-قُلِ اللّٰهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّ هُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ(16)

Say, "Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?" Say, "Allah." Say, "Then have you taken besides Him allies who have no power for [their own] benefit or harm?" Say, "Is the blind equal to the seeing? Or is darkness equal to light? Or have they attributed to Allah partners who created like His creation, so that [their] creation seemed similar to them?" Say, "Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Prevailing." (16)

اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَالَتْ اَوْدِیَةٌۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّیْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِیًاؕ-وَ مِمَّا یُوْقِدُوْنَ عَلَیْهِ فِی النَّارِ ابْتِغَآءَ حِلْیَةٍ اَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُهٗؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ وَ الْبَاطِلَ ﱟ فَاَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَیَذْهَبُ جُفَآءًۚ-وَ اَمَّا مَا یَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَیَمْكُثُ فِی الْاَرْضِؕ-كَذٰلِكَ یَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْاَمْثَالَﭤ(17)

He sends down water from the sky, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from what they heat in the fire, desiring adornment or utensil, is a foam like it. Thus Allah presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it departs, [passing] away; but as for what benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allah present examples. (17)

لِلَّذِیْنَ اسْتَجَابُوْا لِرَبِّهِمُ الْحُسْنٰىﳳ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یَسْتَجِیْبُوْا لَهٗ لَوْ اَنَّ لَهُمْ مَّا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا وَّ مِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهٖؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ الْحِسَابِ ﳔ وَ مَاْوٰىهُمْ جَهَنَّمُؕ-وَ بِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ(18)

For those who have responded to their Lord is the best [reward], but those who did not respond to Him - if they had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [wish to] ransom themselves thereby. Those will have the worst account, and their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place. (18)

اَفَمَنْ یَّعْلَمُ اَنَّمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ مِنْ رَّبِّكَ الْحَقُّ كَمَنْ هُوَ اَعْمٰىؕ-اِنَّمَا یَتَذَكَّرُ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ(19)

Then is one who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like one who is blind? Only those of understanding will remember. (19)

الَّذِیْنَ یُوْفُوْنَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَ لَا یَنْقُضُوْنَ الْمِیْثَاقَ(20)

Those who fulfill the covenant of Allah and do not break the contract, (20)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَصِلُوْنَ مَاۤ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖۤ اَنْ یُّوْصَلَ وَ یَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَ یَخَافُوْنَ سُوْٓءَ الْحِسَابِﭤ(21)

And those who join what Allah has commanded to be joined and fear their Lord and dread a bad account, (21)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ صَبَرُوا ابْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اَنْفَقُوْا مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ سِرًّا وَّ عَلَانِیَةً وَّ یَدْرَءُوْنَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّیِّئَةَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ(22)

And those who are patient, seeking the countenance of their Lord, and establish prayer and spend from what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, and repel evil with good - for those will be the good consequence of [this] home - (22)

جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ یَّدْخُلُوْنَهَا وَ مَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ اٰبَآىٕهِمْ وَ اَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَ ذُرِّیّٰتِهِمْ وَ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ یَدْخُلُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ كُلِّ بَابٍ(23)

Gardens of perpetual residence which they will enter, along with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, [saying], (23)

سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِﭤ(24)

"Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home." (24)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یَنْقُضُوْنَ عَهْدَ اللّٰهِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مِیْثَاقِهٖ وَ یَقْطَعُوْنَ مَاۤ اَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِهٖۤ اَنْ یُّوْصَلَ وَ یُفْسِدُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِۙ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَ لَهُمْ سُوْٓءُ الدَّارِ(25)

But those who break the covenant of Allah after its confirmation and cut what Allah has ordered to be joined and cause corruption in the earth - for them is the curse, and they will have the worst home. (25)

اَللّٰهُ یَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَقْدِرُؕ-وَ فَرِحُوْا بِالْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَاؕ-وَ مَا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ اِلَّا مَتَاعٌ(26)

Allah extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. And they rejoice in the worldly life, while the worldly life is not, compared to the Hereafter, except [as] brief enjoyment. (26)

وَ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ لَاۤ اُنْزِلَ عَلَیْهِ اٰیَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُضِلُّ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَهْدِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ مَنْ اَنَابَ(27)

And those who disbelieve say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Indeed, Allah sends astray whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him] - (27)

اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ تَطْمَىٕنُّ قُلُوْبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِؕ-اَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ تَطْمَىٕنُّ الْقُلُوْبُﭤ(28)

Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." (28)

اَلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ طُوْبٰى لَهُمْ وَ حُسْنُ مَاٰبٍ(29)

Those who have believed and done righteous deeds - a good state [in the Hereafter] and a good return are theirs. (29)

كَذٰلِكَ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ فِیْۤ اُمَّةٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهَاۤ اُمَمٌ لِّتَتْلُوَاۡ عَلَیْهِمُ الَّذِیْۤ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ وَ هُمْ یَكْفُرُوْنَ بِالرَّحْمٰنِؕ-قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّیْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ-عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ اِلَیْهِ مَتَابِ(30)

Thus We have sent you to a community before which [other] communities have passed away - that you might recite to them that which We have revealed to you, while they disbelieve in the Most Merciful. Say, "He is my Lord; there is no deity except Him. Upon Him I have relied, and to Him is my return." (30)

وَ لَوْ اَنَّ قُرْاٰنًا سُیِّرَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ اَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ الْاَرْضُ اَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ الْمَوْتٰىؕ-بَلْ لِّلّٰهِ الْاَمْرُ جَمِیْعًاؕ-اَفَلَمْ یَایْــٴَـسِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنْ لَّوْ یَشَآءُ اللّٰهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمِیْعًاؕ-وَ لَا یَزَالُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا تُصِیْبُهُمْ بِمَا صَنَعُوْا قَارِعَةٌ اَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِیْبًا مِّنْ دَارِهِمْ حَتّٰى یَاْتِیَ وَعْدُ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُخْلِفُ الْمِیْعَادَ(31)

And if [any] কুরআন was to cause mountains to move or the earth to be torn apart or the dead to speak, [it would be this Qur'an], but to Allah belongs the affair entirely. Have those who believed not then despaired that if Allah willed, He could have guided all mankind? And those who disbelieved will not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until the promise of Allah comes. Indeed, Allah does not fail in [His] promise. (31)

وَ لَقَدِ اسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ فَاَمْلَیْتُ لِلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا ثُمَّ اَخَذْتُهُمْ- فَكَیْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ(32)

And already were messengers ridiculed before you, but I extended [the time] for those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My punishment. (32)

اَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَآىٕمٌ عَلٰى كُلِّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْۚ-وَ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ شُرَكَآءَؕ-قُلْ سَمُّوْهُمْؕ-اَمْ تُنَبِّــٴُـوْنَهٗ بِمَا لَا یَعْلَمُ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَمْ بِظَاهِرٍ مِّنَ الْقَوْلِؕ-بَلْ زُیِّنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مَكْرُهُمْ وَ صُدُّوْا عَنِ السَّبِیْلِؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ(33)

Then is He who is a maintainer of every soul as to what it has earned [like any other]? But they have attributed to Allah partners. Say, "Name them. Or do you inform Him of something He does not know upon the earth, or is it [merely] outward speech?" Rather, their devising is made fair-seeming to those who disbelieve, and they are averted from the way. And whomever Allah sends astray - there will be for him no guide. (33)

لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ لَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَقُّۚ-وَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّاقٍ(34)

For them will be punishment in the life of this world, and the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe. And they will not have from Allah any protector. (34)

مَثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَؕ-تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُؕ-اُكُلُهَا دَآىٕمٌ وَّ ظِلُّهَاؕ-تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا ﳓ وَّ عُقْبَى الْكٰفِرِیْنَ النَّارُ(35)

The description of Paradise which the righteous are promised: beneath it rivers flow; its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire. (35)

وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰتَیْنٰهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ یَفْرَحُوْنَ بِمَاۤ اُنْزِلَ اِلَیْكَ وَ مِنَ الْاَحْزَابِ مَنْ یُّنْكِرُ بَعْضَهٗؕ-قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَعْبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَ لَاۤ اُشْرِكَ بِهٖؕ-اِلَیْهِ اَدْعُوْا وَ اِلَیْهِ مَاٰبِ(36)

Those to whom We have given the Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], but some of the [opposing] factions deny part of it. Say, "I am only commanded to worship Allah and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return." (36)

وَ كَذٰلِكَ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِیًّاؕ-وَ لَىٕنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ بَعْدَ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ-مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّ لَا وَاقٍ(37)

And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic الحكم. And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allah any ally or any protector. (37)

وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّنْ قَبْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّ ذُرِّیَّةًؕ-وَ مَا كَانَ لِرَسُوْلٍ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَ بِاٰیَةٍ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِؕ-لِكُلِّ اَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ(38)

And We have already sent messengers before you and appointed for them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allah. For every term is a decree. (38)

یَمْحُوا اللّٰهُ مَا یَشَآءُ وَ یُثْبِتُ ۚۖ-وَ عِنْدَهٗۤ اُمُّ الْكِتٰبِ(39)

Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book. (39)

وَ اِنْ مَّا نُرِیَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِیْ نَعِدُهُمْ اَوْ نَتَوَفَّیَنَّكَ فَاِنَّمَا عَلَیْكَ الْبَلٰغُ وَ عَلَیْنَا الْحِسَابُ(40)

And whether We show you some of what We promise them or We take you in death, upon you is only the [duty of] notification, and upon Us is the accounting. (40)

اَوَ لَمْ یَرَوْا اَنَّا نَاْتِی الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَحْكُمُ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهٖؕ-وَ هُوَ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ(41)

Have they not seen that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? And Allah decides; there is no adjuster of His decision. And He is swift in account. (41)

وَ قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلّٰهِ الْمَكْرُ جَمِیْعًاؕ -یَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍؕ- وَ سَیَعْلَمُ الْكُفّٰرُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ(42)

And those before them had plotted, but to Allah belongs the plan entirely. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will know for whom is the final home. (42)

وَ یَقُوْلُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَسْتَ مُرْسَلًاؕ-قُلْ كَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِیْدًۢا بَیْنِیْ وَ بَیْنَكُمْۙ-وَ مَنْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمُ الْكِتٰبِ(43)

And those who have disbelieved say, "You are not a messenger." Say, "Sufficient is Allah as a witness between me and you, and [the witness of] whoever has knowledge of the Scripture." (43)
