Surah Al-Ahzaab

مَّلْعُونِينَأَيْنَمَاثُقِفُوٓا۟أُخِذُوا۟وَقُتِّلُوا۟تَقْتِيلًۭا

bereft of God’s grace, they shall be seized wherever they may be found, and slain one and all.

سُنَّةَٱللَّهِفِىٱلَّذِينَخَلَوْا۟مِنقَبْلُوَلَنتَجِدَلِسُنَّةِٱللَّهِتَبْدِيلًۭا

Such has been God’s way with those who [sinned in like manner and] passed away aforetime - and never wilt thou find any change in God’s way!

يَسْـَٔلُكَٱلنَّاسُعَنِٱلسَّاعَةِقُلْإِنَّمَاعِلْمُهَاعِندَٱللَّهِوَمَايُدْرِيكَلَعَلَّٱلسَّاعَةَتَكُونُقَرِيبًا

PEOPLE will ask thee about the Last Hour. Say: “Knowledge thereof rests with God alone; yet for all thou knowest, the Last Hour may well be near!”

إِنَّٱللَّهَلَعَنَٱلْكَٰفِرِينَوَأَعَدَّلَهُمْسَعِيرًا

Verily, God has rejected the deniers of the truth, and has readied for them a blazing fire,

خَٰلِدِينَفِيهَآأَبَدًۭالَّايَجِدُونَوَلِيًّۭاوَلَانَصِيرًۭا

therein to abide beyond the count of time: no protec­tor will they find, and none to bring them succour.

يَوْمَتُقَلَّبُوُجُوهُهُمْفِىٱلنَّارِيَقُولُونَيَٰلَيْتَنَآأَطَعْنَاٱللَّهَوَأَطَعْنَاٱلرَّسُولَا۠

On the Day when their faces shall be tossed about in the fire, they will exclaim, “Oh, would that we had paid heed unto God, and paid heed unto the Apostle!”

وَقَالُوا۟رَبَّنَآإِنَّآأَطَعْنَاسَادَتَنَاوَكُبَرَآءَنَافَأَضَلُّونَاٱلسَّبِيلَا۠

And they will say: “O our Sustainer! Behold, we paid heed unto our leaders and our great men, and it is they who have led us astray from the right path!

رَبَّنَآءَاتِهِمْضِعْفَيْنِمِنَٱلْعَذَابِوَٱلْعَنْهُمْلَعْنًۭاكَبِيرًۭا

O our Sustainer! Give them double suffering, and banish them utterly from Thy grace!”

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟لَاتَكُونُوا۟كَٱلَّذِينَءَاذَوْا۟مُوسَىٰفَبَرَّأَهُٱللَّهُمِمَّاقَالُوا۟وَكَانَعِندَٱللَّهِوَجِيهًۭا

O YOU who have attained to faith! Be not like those [children of Israel] who gave offence to Moses, and [remember that] God showed him to be innocent of whatever they alleged [against him or demanded of him]: for of great honour was he in the sight of God.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟ٱتَّقُوا۟ٱللَّهَوَقُولُوا۟قَوْلًۭاسَدِيدًۭا

O you who have attained to faith! Remain conscious of God, and [always] speak with a will to bring out [only] what is just and true -

يُصْلِحْلَكُمْأَعْمَٰلَكُمْوَيَغْفِرْلَكُمْذُنُوبَكُمْوَمَنيُطِعِٱللَّهَوَرَسُولَهُۥفَقَدْفَازَفَوْزًاعَظِيمًا

[whereupon] He will cause your deeds to be virtuous, and will forgive you your sins. And [know that] whoever pays heed unto God and His Apostle has already attained to a mighty triumph.

إِنَّاعَرَضْنَاٱلْأَمَانَةَعَلَىٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِوَٱلْجِبَالِفَأَبَيْنَأَنيَحْمِلْنَهَاوَأَشْفَقْنَمِنْهَاوَحَمَلَهَاٱلْإِنسَٰنُإِنَّهُۥكَانَظَلُومًۭاجَهُولًۭا

Verily, We did offer the trust [of reason and volition] to the heavens, and the earth, and the mountains: but they refused to bear it because they were afraid of it. Yet man took it up - for, verily, he has always been prone to be most wicked, most foolish.

لِّيُعَذِّبَٱللَّهُٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَوَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتِوَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَوَٱلْمُشْرِكَٰتِوَيَتُوبَٱللَّهُعَلَىٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَوَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِوَكَانَٱللَّهُغَفُورًۭارَّحِيمًۢا

[And so it is] that God imposes suffering on the hypocrites, both men and women, as well as on the men and women who ascribe divinity to aught beside Him. And [so, too, it is] that God turns in His mercy unto the believing men and believing women: for God is indeed much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace!
