With Allah rests guidance to the straight path, and some of the paths are devious, and had He wished He would have guided you all.

It is He who sends down water from the sky: from it you get your drink and with it are [sustained] the plants wherein you pasture your herds.

For you He makes the crops grow with it and olives, date palms, vines, and fruits of all kinds. There is indeed a sign in that for a people who reflect.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَۙ وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ‌ؕ وَالنُّجُوْمُ مُسَخَّرٰتٌۢ بِاَمْرِهٖؕ اِنَّ فِىْ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّعْقِلُوْنَۙ‏(12)

He disposed the night and the day for you, and the sun, the moon and the stars are disposed by His command. There are indeed signs in that for people who exercise their reason.

And [He disposed for your benefit] whatever He has created for you in the earth of diverse hues—there is indeed a sign in that for a people who take admonition.

وَهُوَ الَّذِىْ سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَاْكُلُوْا مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَّتَسْتَخْرِجُوْا مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُوْنَهَا‌ۚ وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيْهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ‏(14)

It is He who disposed the sea [for your benefit] that you may eat from it fresh meat, and obtain from it ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through it, that you may seek His bounty and that you may give thanks.

Is He who creates like one who does not create? Will you not then take admonition?

وَاِنْ تَعُدُّوْا نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ لَا تُحْصُوْهَاؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَغَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ‏(18)

WA IN TA-U’DDOO NE’MATAL LAAHE LAA TOHSOOHAA, INNAL LAAHA LA-GHAFOORUR RAHEEM.

If you enumerate Allah’s blessings, you will not be able to count them. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful,

وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّوْنَ وَ مَا تُعْلِنُوْنَ‏(19)

WAL LAAHO YA’LAMO MAA TOSIRROONA WA MAA TO’LENOON.

and Allah knows whatever you hide and whatever you disclose.

WAL LAZEENA YAD-O’ONA MIN DOONIL LAAHE LAA YAKHLOQOONA SHAY-ANW WA HUM YUKHLAQOON.

Those whom they invoke besides Allah do not create anything and are themselves created.

They are dead and lifeless, and are not aware when they will be resurrected.

ELAAHOKUM ELAAHUNW WAAHED, FALLAZEENA LAA YOAMENOONA BIL-AAKHERATE QOLOOBOHUM MUNKERATUNW WA HUM MUSTAKBEROON.

Your God is the One God. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial [of the truth], and they are arrogant.

لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوْنَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُوْنَ‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِيْنَ‏(23)

Undoubtedly, Allah knows whatever they hide and whatever they disclose. Indeed, He does not like the arrogant.

When they are asked, ‘What is it that your Lord has sent down?’ They say, ‘Myths of the ancients,’

لِيَحْمِلُوْۤا اَوْزَارَهُمْ كَامِلَةً يَّوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ‌ۙ وَمِنْ اَوْزَارِ الَّذِيْنَ يُضِلُّوْنَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ‌ؕ اَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُوْنَ‏(25)

[with the result] that they will bear the full weight of their own burden on the Day of Resurrection, along with part of the burden of those whom they mislead without any knowledge. Behold! Evil is what they bear!

قَدْ مَكَرَ الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَاَتَى اللّٰهُ بُنْيَانَهُمْ مِّنَ الْقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَاَتٰٮهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُوْنَ‏(26)

Those who were before them [had also] schemed. Then Allah came at their edifice from the foundations and the roof fell down upon them from above and the punishment overtook them whence they were not aware.

ثُمَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ يُخْزِيْهِمْ وَيَقُوْلُ اَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ الَّذِيْنَ كُنْتُمْ تُشَآقُّوْنَ فِيْهِمْ‌ؕ قَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ اِنَّ الْخِزْىَ الْيَوْمَ وَالسُّوْۤءَ عَلَى الْكٰفِرِيْنَۙ‏(27)

Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them, and say, ‘Where are My “partners” for whose sake you used to defy [Allah]?’ Those who were given knowledge will say, ‘Indeed today disgrace and distress pursue the faithless.’

Enter the gates of hell to remain in it [forever]. Evil is the [final] abode of the arrogant.’

But those who were Godwary will be asked, ‘What is it that your Lord has sent down?’ They will say, ‘Good.’ For those who do good in this world there will be a good [reward], and the abode of the Hereafter is better, and the abode of the Godwary is surely excellent:

Do they not consider that the angels may come to them, or your Lord’s edict may come? Those who were before them had acted likewise; Allah did not wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

The polytheists say, ‘Had Allah wished, we would not have worshiped anything besides Him—neither we, nor our fathers—nor we would have forbidden anything without His sanction.’ Those who were before them had acted likewise. Is the apostles’ duty anything but to communicate in clear terms?

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِىْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ رَّسُوْلًا اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوْتَ‌ۚ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ هَدَى اللّٰهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلٰلَةُ‌ ؕ فَسِيْرُوْا فِىْ الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ‏(36)

Certainly We raised an apostle in every nation [to preach:] ‘Worship Allah, and shun fake deities.’ Among them were some whom Allah guided, and among them were some who deserved to be in error. So travel over the land and observe how was the fate of the deniers.

Even if you are eager for them to be guided, indeed Allah does not guide those who mislead [others], and they will have no helpers.

They swear by Allah with solemn oaths that Allah will not resurrect those who die. Yes indeed [He will], it is a promise binding upon Him, but most people do not know,

When the polytheists sight their partners, they will say, ‘Our Lord! These are our partners whom we used to invoke besides You.’ But they will retort to them, ‘You are indeed liars!’

The day We raise in every nation a witness against them from among themselves, We shall bring you as a witness against these. We have sent down the Book to you as a clarification of all things and as guidance, mercy and good news for the Muslims.

Indeed Allah enjoins justice and kindness, and generosity towards relatives, and He forbids indecency, wrongdoing, and aggression. He advises you, so that you may take admonition.

Do not be like her who would undo her yarn, breaking it up after [spinning it to] strength, by making your oaths a means of [mutual] deceit among yourselves, so that one community may become more affluent than another community. Indeed Allah tests you thereby, and He will surely clarify for you on the Day of Resurrection what you used to differ about.

وَلَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّاحِدَةً وَّلٰكِنْ يُّضِلُّ مَنْ يَّشَآءُ وَيَهْدِىْ مَنْ يَّشَآءُ‌ ؕ وَلَتُسْئَلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ‏(93)

Had Allah wished, He would have made you one community, but He leads astray whomever He wishes and guides whomever He wishes, and you will surely be questioned concerning what you used to do.

The Sabbath was only prescribed for those who differed about it. Your Lord will indeed judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that about which they differ.

اُدْعُ اِلٰى سَبِيْلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ‌ وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِىْ هِىَ اَحْسَنُ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِهٖ‌ وَهُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِيْنَ‏(125)

UD-O’ ELAA SABEELE RABBEKA BIL-HIKMATE WAL MAW-E’ZATIL HASANATE WA JAADILHUM BILLATEE HEYA AHSAN, INNA RABBAKA HOWA A-A’LAMO BEMAN ZALLA A’N SABEELEHI WA HOWA A-A’LAMO BIL-MOHTADEEN.

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good advice and dispute with them in a manner that is best. Indeed your Lord knows best those who stray from His way, and He knows best those who are guided.

وَاِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوْا بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوْقِبْتُمْ بِهٖ‌ۚ وَلَئِنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِّلصّٰبِرِيْنَ‏(126)

WA IN A’AQABTUM FA-A’AQEBOO BE-MISLE MAA O’OQIBTUM BEH, WA LA-IN SABARTUM LAHOWA KHAYRUL LIS-SAABEREEN.

Should you retaliate, retaliate with the like of what you have been made to suffer, but if you are patient that is surely better for the steadfast.

وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ‌ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِىْ ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُوْنَ‏(127)

WAS BIR WA MAA SABROKA ILLAA BIL-LAAHE WA LAA TAHZAN A’LAYHIM WA LAA TAKO FEE ZAYQIM MIMMAA YAMKOROON.

So be steadfast, and you cannot be steadfast except with Allah [’s help]. And do not grieve for them, nor be upset by their guile.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الَّذِيْنَ اتَّقَوْا وَّالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ مُّحْسِنُوْنَ‏(128)

INNAL LAAHA MA-A’L LAZEENAT TAQAW WAL LAZEENA HUM MOHSENOON.

Indeed Allah is with those who are Godwary and those who are virtuous.
