Surah Al-Qasas

فَخَسَفْنَابِهِۦوَبِدَارِهِٱلْأَرْضَفَمَاكَانَلَهُۥمِنفِئَةٍۢيَنصُرُونَهُۥمِندُونِٱللَّهِوَمَاكَانَمِنَٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ

And thereupon We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling; and he had none and nothing to succour him against God, nor was he of those who could succour themselves.

وَأَصْبَحَٱلَّذِينَتَمَنَّوْا۟مَكَانَهُۥبِٱلْأَمْسِيَقُولُونَوَيْكَأَنَّٱللَّهَيَبْسُطُٱلرِّزْقَلِمَنيَشَآءُمِنْعِبَادِهِۦوَيَقْدِرُلَوْلَآأَنمَّنَّٱللَّهُعَلَيْنَالَخَسَفَبِنَاوَيْكَأَنَّهُۥلَايُفْلِحُٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

And on the morrow, those who but yesterday had longed to be in his place exclaimed: “Alas [for our not having been aware] that it is indeed God [alone] who grants abundant sustenance, or gives it in scant measure, unto whichever He wills of His crea­tures! Had not God been gracious to us, He might have caused [the earth] to swallow us, too! Alas [for our having forgotten] that those who deny the truth can never attain to a happy state!”

تِلْكَٱلدَّارُٱلْءَاخِرَةُنَجْعَلُهَالِلَّذِينَلَايُرِيدُونَعُلُوًّۭافِىٱلْأَرْضِوَلَافَسَادًۭاوَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُلِلْمُتَّقِينَ

As for that [happy] life in the hereafter, We grant it [only] to those who do not seek to exalt themselves on earth, nor yet to spread corruption: for the future belongs to the God-conscious.

مَنجَآءَبِٱلْحَسَنَةِفَلَهُۥخَيْرٌۭمِّنْهَاوَمَنجَآءَبِٱلسَّيِّئَةِفَلَايُجْزَىٱلَّذِينَعَمِلُوا۟ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِإِلَّامَاكَانُوا۟يَعْمَلُونَ

Whosoever shall come [before God] with a good deed will gain [further] good there from; but as for any who shall come with an evil deed - [know that] they who do evil deeds will not be requited with more than [the like of] what they have done.

إِنَّٱلَّذِىفَرَضَعَلَيْكَٱلْقُرْءَانَلَرَآدُّكَإِلَىٰمَعَادٍۢقُلرَّبِّىٓأَعْلَمُمَنجَآءَبِٱلْهُدَىٰوَمَنْهُوَفِىضَلَٰلٍۢمُّبِينٍۢ

VERILY, [O believer,] He who has laid down this Qur’an in plain terms, making it binding on thee, will assuredly bring thee back [from death] to a life renewed. Say [unto those who reject the truth]: My Sus­tainer knows best, as to who is right-guided and who is obviously lost in error!”

وَمَاكُنتَتَرْجُوٓا۟أَنيُلْقَىٰٓإِلَيْكَٱلْكِتَٰبُإِلَّارَحْمَةًۭمِّنرَّبِّكَفَلَاتَكُونَنَّظَهِيرًۭالِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ

Now [as for thyself, O believer,] thou couldst never foresee that this divine writ would [one day] be offered to thee: but [it did come to thee] by thy Sustainer’s grace. Hence, never uphold those who deny the truth [of divine guidance],

وَلَايَصُدُّنَّكَعَنْءَايَٰتِٱللَّهِبَعْدَإِذْأُنزِلَتْإِلَيْكَوَٱدْعُإِلَىٰرَبِّكَوَلَاتَكُونَنَّمِنَٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

and never let them turn thee away from God’s messages after they have been bestowed upon thee from on high: instead summon [all men] to thy Sustainer. And never be of those who ascribe divinity to aught but Him,

وَلَاتَدْعُمَعَٱللَّهِإِلَٰهًاءَاخَرَلَآإِلَٰهَإِلَّاهُوَكُلُّشَىْءٍهَالِكٌإِلَّاوَجْهَهُۥلَهُٱلْحُكْمُوَإِلَيْهِتُرْجَعُونَ

and never call upon any other deity side by side with God. There is no deity save Him. Everything is bound to perish, save His [eternal] self. With Him rests all judgment; and unto Him shall you all be brought back.
