An-Nahl

1 : 16

أَتَىٰٓ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُوهُۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

1. The Command of Allāh is coming ^[1], so do not seek to hasten it; Glory be to Him, and Highly Exalted is He above all that they associate with Him (in worship) ^[2].

[1]. Allah’s Punishment is imminent and certain for the idolaters and the deniers, and the Day of Judgment is approaching.
[2]. Polytheism is associating partners with Allāh and the most grievous of all sins, as Allāh warned against it right after mentioning the imminence of the Hour of Doom. Allāh warns against idolatry and calls for pure and perfect monotheism in the two subsequent verses as well.

2 : 16

يُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ بِٱلرُّوحِ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦٓ أَنۡ أَنذِرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱتَّقُونِ

2. He sends down the angels with the (Divine) inspiration of His command to whom He wills of His servants, (saying): "Give the Warning that there is no god (worthy of worship) except Me, so fear Me (and shun evil)."

3 : 16

خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ تَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ

3. He has created the heavens and the earth in Truth ^[3] (and for a genuine purpose). Highly is He, Exalted above all that they associate with Him (of idols and false gods).

[3]. Allah's foremost undisputed sign of Power is that of creation, especially that of the largest humanly perceivable creations, the heavens and earth, over which none else is capable.

4 : 16

خَلَقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٞ مُّبِينٞ

4. (Allāh) created man from a 'mere' drop of sperm; then ^[4] at once he is an open opponent ^[5].

[4]. As soon as he becomes strong and independent.
[5]. I.e., the idolaters and the deniers who deny resurrection, argue against the Truth, and are ungrateful for Allah’s favors

5 : 16

وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمَ خَلَقَهَاۖ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا دِفۡءٞ وَمَنَٰفِعُ وَمِنۡهَا تَأۡكُلُونَ

5. The cattle He (Allāh) has created for you. You have in them warm clothing and many benefits, and of them do you eat.

6 : 16

وَلَكُمۡ فِيهَا جَمَالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَحِينَ تَسۡرَحُونَ

6. And for you there is beauty (and comely (service) in them when you bring them in (home) to rest, and when you send them out (to pasture).

7 : 16

وَتَحۡمِلُ أَثۡقَالَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٖ لَّمۡ تَكُونُواْ بَٰلِغِيهِ إِلَّا بِشِقِّ ٱلۡأَنفُسِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ

7. And they carry your heavy loads to a land which you could not reach except with great trouble to (your bodies and) selves. Indeed, your Lord (Allāh) is certainly Ever-Kind, All-Merciful.

8 : 16

وَٱلۡخَيۡلَ وَٱلۡبِغَالَ وَٱلۡحَمِيرَ لِتَرۡكَبُوهَا وَزِينَةٗۚ وَيَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

8. (He created) the horses, mules, and donkeys for you to ride and as an adornment. He will yet create what you do not know ^[6].

[6]. All means of transport - by air, sea, land and even in space, which became possible only by His power and grace.

9 : 16

وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَصۡدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنۡهَا جَآئِرٞۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ

9. And upon Allāh is (the direction of) the moderate path (that has no extremes or excesses) ^[7], and among it, (the paths) is deviant ^[8]. Had Allāh willed, He could have guided you all aright (but He gave us freedom of choice).

[7]. Islâmic Monotheism for mankind i.e. to show them legal and illegal, good and evil things; so whosoever accepts the guidance, it will be for his own benefit and whosoever goes astray, it will be for his own destruction.
[8]. Such as Paganism, Judaism and Christianity.

10 : 16

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗۖ لَّكُم مِّنۡهُ شَرَابٞ وَمِنۡهُ شَجَرٞ فِيهِ تُسِيمُونَ

10. It is He (Allāh) Who sends down water from the sky, from it you drink, and from it (grows) foliage wherein you graze (your cattle).

11 : 16

يُنۢبِتُ لَكُم بِهِ ٱلزَّرۡعَ وَٱلزَّيۡتُونَ وَٱلنَّخِيلَ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَٰبَ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

11. He causes to grow for you thereby corn, 'rice', olives, palm trees, grapevines, and of all fruits. There is certainly a Sign in this for a people who reflect ^[9].

[9]. Allāh reveals himself through the Qur’an. The Qur’an is Allah's very Word. It is the holy and inerrant Book, telling us who Allāh is, who we are, and what Allāh has done for us. Allāh also revealed himself also through His last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him, and through the other prophets before him such as Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Christ, peace be upon them all. For Allah's blessings and favors are unlimited.

12 : 16

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ وَٱلنُّجُومُ مُسَخَّرَٰتُۢ بِأَمۡرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ

12. He has subjected for you the night and the day, the sun and the moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. In this there are certainly Signs for a people who understand ^[10].

[10]. The Oneness of God, His being and His attributes. It is to believe and testify with absolute certainty that there is no other partner as such besides Allāh, that there exists no other being as High and Exalted that He is, and also to believe in all the Attributes of Allāh, and there can be none who can possess them.

13 : 16

وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

13. And all that He has created for you on earth of varying colors. In this there is certainly a Sign for a people who heed.

14 : 16

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي سَخَّرَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ لِتَأۡكُلُواْ مِنۡهُ لَحۡمٗا طَرِيّٗا وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُواْ مِنۡهُ حِلۡيَةٗ تَلۡبَسُونَهَاۖ وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

14. It is He (Allāh) Who has subjected the sea, so that you may eat from it fresh flesh and bring forth from it ornaments which you wear. You see the ships plowing through it, that you might seek of His bounty, and that you may give thanks 'to Him".

15 : 16

وَأَلۡقَىٰ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَٰسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمۡ وَأَنۡهَٰرٗا وَسُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ

15. He cast into the earth solid mountains, lest it should shake with you, and (made) rivers and roads, so that you may be guided,

16 : 16

وَعَلَٰمَٰتٖۚ وَبِٱلنَّجۡمِ هُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ

16. And landmarks; and by the star they find their way ^[11].

[11]. Through the desert or the sea at night.

17 : 16

أَفَمَن يَخۡلُقُ كَمَن لَّا يَخۡلُقُۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

17. Is He then Who creates (i.e., Allāh) like him who does not create? Do you not then remember?

18 : 16

وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعۡمَةَ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُحۡصُوهَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

18. If you would count all of Allah’s Favors, you could never enumerate them ^[12]. Indeed, Allāh is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[12]. Allāh deserves our gratitude, “Praise Allâh, and forget not all his blessings."
The countless ways God is at work—assuring us of forgiveness, working healing in our bodies and hearts, letting us experience “love and compassion” and countless “good things” in His creation.
While not all suffering will find complete healing in this lifetime, our hearts can always be renewed by gratitude, for Allah's love is with us.

19 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعۡلِنُونَ

19. And Allāh knows whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal.

20 : 16

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخۡلُقُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ

20. But those they invoke ^[13] besides Allāh do not create anything, and themselves are created;

[13]. Whether unseen spirits, demons, or saints.

21 : 16

أَمۡوَٰتٌ غَيۡرُ أَحۡيَآءٖۖ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبۡعَثُونَ

21. Dead (are they), not alive, and they do not perceive when they will be resurrected.

22 : 16

إِلَٰهُكُمۡ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مُّنكِرَةٞ وَهُم مُّسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

22. Your God is (Allāh), One God. But those who do not believe in the Hereafter, their hearts are in denial, and they are (foolishly) bold and arrogant ^[14].

[14]. Scorning to believe in the Oneness of God and to accept the Truth.

23 : 16

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُونَۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُسۡتَكۡبِرِينَ

23. No doubt that Allāh knows whatever they conceal or reveal. Surely He does not like the arrogant.

24 : 16

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُم مَّاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

24. When they are told, "What has your Lord revealed?" They say: "Legends of the ancients".

25 : 16

لِيَحۡمِلُوٓاْ أَوۡزَارَهُمۡ كَامِلَةٗ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَمِنۡ أَوۡزَارِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُضِلُّونَهُم بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ

25. That they may bear their burdens entirely on the Day of Resurrection and of the burdens of those whom they lead astray without knowledge.  Unquestionably Evil is that which they bear.

26 : 16

قَدۡ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَأَتَى ٱللَّهُ بُنۡيَٰنَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّقۡفُ مِن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَأَتَىٰهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

26. Those before them had also devised evil plans, so Allāh came upon their structures from their very foundations, so the roof fell down on top of them, and the torment came to them from where they never perceived.

27 : 16

ثُمَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يُخۡزِيهِمۡ وَيَقُولُ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمۡ تُشَٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمۡۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ إِنَّ ٱلۡخِزۡيَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

27. Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and say: "Where are My 'so-called' partners whom you used to associate with (Allah), for for whom you used to oppose (the believers)?" Those who were given knowledge 'will' say: "Indeed, the disgrace this day and evill are upon the deniers."

28 : 16

ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ظَالِمِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ فَأَلۡقَوُاْ ٱلسَّلَمَ مَا كُنَّا نَعۡمَلُ مِن سُوٓءِۭۚ بَلَىٰٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

28.  Those whom the angels cause to die, while they are unjust to themselves. Then, they will offer peace: 'saying': "We have been not doing anything of evil." (But they will be told): "Yes (indeed you did)." Indeed, Allāh is the All-Knower of all that you used to do.

29 : 16

فَٱدۡخُلُوٓاْ أَبۡوَٰبَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۖ فَلَبِئۡسَ مَثۡوَى ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ

29. So enter the gates of Gehinnom 'Hell', to abide therein forever - miserable indeed is the abode of the arrogant."

30 : 16

۞ وَقِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ مَاذَآ أَنزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡۚ قَالُواْ خَيۡرٗاۗ لِّلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٞۚ وَلَدَارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ خَيۡرٞۚ وَلَنِعۡمَ دَارُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

30. (When) those who guard themselves against evil are told: "What has your Lord sent down 'of revelation'?" They say: "All the best." For the ones who do good in this world is good, and certainly the Home of the Hereafter is better. And how excellent is the Home of the righteous.

31 : 16

جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ يَدۡخُلُونَهَا تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۖ لَهُمۡ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجۡزِي ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

31. Gardens of Eden they will enter, under which rivers flow. They will have therein all they wish. Thus does Allāh reward the righteous.

32 : 16

ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ يَقُولُونَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

32. Those whom the angels cause to die in a good (and pure) state ^[13], saying: "Peace be upon you, enter Paradise as a reward for your good deeds."

[13]. I.e. pure from evil, and worshipping none but Allâh Alone.

33 : 16

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَ أَمۡرُ رَبِّكَۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ

33. Do (the deniers) wait for anything except that the angels come to them or that the Command of your Lord comes to pass. Thus did those before them. Allāh did not do them injustice, but they were unjust to themselves.

34 : 16

فَأَصَابَهُمۡ سَيِّـَٔاتُ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

34. So the evil (results) of what they have done afflicted them, and they were encompassed by the very thing they used to ridicule.

35 : 16

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖ نَّحۡنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ فَهَلۡ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

35. And those who associate (others with Allah) say: "If Allāh had willed, we would not have worshiped anything besides Him, neither us nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything without 'Authority from' Him. Thus did those before them. Is then anything incumbent upon the Messengers except a clear delivery *of the Message)?

36 : 16

وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولًا أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواْ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ حَقَّتۡ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُۚ فَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ

36. We certainly sent in every nation a Messenger, saying: "Worship Allāh alone and shun the fake dieties." So there were some of them whom Allāh guided, and others came true against them the straying. So travel throughout the land, then see what was the end of the deniers.

37 : 16

إِن تَحۡرِصۡ عَلَىٰ هُدَىٰهُمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي مَن يُضِلُّۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ

37. (Even) if you are eager for their guidance, yet surely Allāh does not guide such as He leaves to stray ^[14], and they will have no helpers.

[14]. Because of his arrogance and persistence in sin.

38 : 16

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَا يَبۡعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُۚ بَلَىٰ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقّٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

38. And they have sworn by Allāh their most binding oaths: "Allāh will not resurrect the one who dies." Yes, (He will). It is a true Promise binding on Him ^[15], but most people do not know;

[15]. In a statement of prophet Mohammad, God's Messenger (ﷺ), he related that: "God said: ‘The son of Adam has accused Me of lying, while he has no right to do so, and he insulted Me, while he has no right to do so. His accusing Me of lying is his saying: “He shall not recreate me as He created me at first.” The first creation is by no means easier for Me than recreation.’ His insulting Me is his saying: “God has taken a son (to Himself)”, when I am the One, the Oft-Beseeched, I begot none, nor was I begotten. None is equal to Me."

39 : 16

لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي يَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ كَٰذِبِينَ

39. So that He may make clear to them that about which they differ in, and that those who disbelieved (in the Truth) may know that they were liars.

40 : 16

إِنَّمَا قَوۡلُنَا لِشَيۡءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدۡنَٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

40. Indeed Our only Saying to a thing when We have willed it, is that We say to it: ‘Be,’ and it is ^[16].

[16]. Allah's Absolute Glory and Power is highlighted here. The realization of His ability to create are carried out by His word, 'Be' and it is.

41 : 16

وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ فِي ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٗۖ وَلَأَجۡرُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ

41. Those who emigrated in (the Cause of) Allāh after after being persecuted, We shall certainly give them a good place in the world, and the reward of the Hereafter is much greater, if they but knew;

42 : 16

ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

42. Those who are patient and on their Lord 'Allāh alone' do they rely ^[17].

[17]. They trust that their Protector and Savoir is none but Allāh alone. Putting one’s trust in Allāh is the base for all good deeds. No sincere deed exists nor can it be perfected without it. Putting one’s trust in Allāh is the top of sincere Faith.

43 : 16

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالٗا نُّوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ فَسۡـَٔلُوٓاْ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

43. We did not send before you 'Muhammad' any but men to whom We sent Revelation - so ask the people of the Reminder 'the previous scriptures', if you do not know.

44 : 16

بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلذِّكۡرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

44. (We sent them) with clear Proofs and Scriptures; and We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Reminder (Qur’an) ^[18] that you may make clear to the people what has been sent down to them, so that they may meditate.

[18]. The Qur’an is reminder in that it constantly makes mention of what people need for the betterment of their lives; it also reminds people, of God Almighty and the Last Day; and that it is a cause of laudable mention and high repute. 

45 : 16

أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُواْ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَخۡسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

45. Then do they who devise evil plans, feel secure that Allāh will not cause the earth to swallow them or that the torment may not seize them from where they do not perceive?

46 : 16

أَوۡ يَأۡخُذَهُمۡ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمۡ فَمَا هُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ

46. Or that Allāh will not seize them in their movements to and fro, and they are not going to (outdo Allāh and) cause Him failure.

47 : 16

أَوۡ يَأۡخُذَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ تَخَوُّفٖ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٌ

47. Or that He will not seize them with gradual (loss of their wealth and health) when they are apprehensive ˹of it? Indeed, Your Lord is certainly Most Kind, Most Merciful.

48 : 16

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيۡءٖ يَتَفَيَّؤُاْ ظِلَٰلُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَٱلشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدٗا لِّلَّهِ وَهُمۡ دَٰخِرُونَ

48. Have they not seen whatever thing Allah created incline their shadows to the right and the left (as the sun moves), prostrating themselves to Allāh while they are humble.

49 : 16

وَلِلَّهِۤ يَسۡجُدُۤ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِن دَآبَّةٖ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ

49. To Allāh prostrates ^[19] (and submits) all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth of a living creature, as well as the angels, and they disdain not.

[19]. The prostration of rational beings is their worship and surrender to Allāh Almighty; however, the prostration of irrational beings is their falling in with Allāh Almighty’s subjection, and the execution of His Command. The prostration of creatures to Allāh is of two kinds: a prostration of necessity which is evidence of His Perfect Attributes. This prostration is general for all creatures, whether believers or unbelievers, pious or rebellious. The other kind is the prostration of willingness which is specific to Allah’s believing servants, the angels, and other creatures.

50 : 16

يَخَافُونَ رَبَّهُم مِّن فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَيَفۡعَلُونَ مَا يُؤۡمَرُونَ۩

50. They fear their Lord (Allāh) above them, and they do what they are commanded ^[20].

[20]. When the Prophet (ﷺ) used to recite the Qur’an, and came upon a Chapter in which there is prostration like this verse, he would prostrate and people would prostrate with him. The Messenger of God (ﷺ) used to say in this prostration: "My face has prostrated to He -Allāh- Who created it and slit in it its hearing and sight with His ability and power. O Allāh, record for me this one as a reward, eliminate me with it a sin of mine, make it a deposit for me with You and accept it from me as You have accepted it from Your servant, David."

51 : 16

۞ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ إِلَٰهَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ فَإِيَّٰيَ فَٱرۡهَبُونِ

51. Allāh has said: "Do not take two gods (or more for worship) ^[21]. There is Only One God (Allāh); so fear Me (and Me alone and shun evil)."

[21]. Allāh 'God' is One only and not triune. He is Unique and has no partners. His is the Dominion and the praise.
The word “trinity” isn’t even mentioned ONCE in the Bible, and the only real reference to it is during Jesus’ baptism (which does not support 3 in one otherwise why are they separated??) in Matthew 3:13, 16,17. Furthermore, it falls apart when it comes to Matthew: 24:35–36 “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but to Allāh my Lord only.”
Other Translations include the words “Not even me 'Jesus'.”
Allāh is all-knowing. Allāh is omnipotent. But not Moses, not Jesus, not even Prophet Muhammad, they are all God's messengers and servants may peace be upon them all.
God is ONE being. Worshipping Jesus or his mother or any other being as Allāh, the real Lord, goes against the First and Second commandments. Exodus 20:3–6 (KJV). 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (I will state that this is about idolatry, which the Catholic and some Christian churches have violated already by hanging paintings of “Jesus” within the walls of their churches, and even the statues of the crucifixion which never happened.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I ' Allāh' the Lord thy God am a jealous God.

52 : 16

وَلَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَهُ ٱلدِّينُ وَاصِبًاۚ أَفَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَتَّقُونَ

52. To Him (Allāh) belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him should obedience be 'rendered' constantly; Will you then fear any other than Allāh?

53 : 16

وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعۡمَةٖ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ ٱلضُّرُّ فَإِلَيۡهِ تَجۡـَٔرُونَ

53. Whatever favor you have - it is 'solely' from Allāh; then when adversity touches you, to Him 'alone' you cry for help.

54 : 16

ثُمَّ إِذَا كَشَفَ ٱلضُّرَّ عَنكُمۡ إِذَا فَرِيقٞ مِّنكُم بِرَبِّهِمۡ يُشۡرِكُونَ

54. Then when He removes the adversity from you, at once a party of you associate others with their Lord (Allāh, in worship);

55 : 16

لِيَكۡفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡۚ فَتَمَتَّعُواْ فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ

55. Thus, they show their ingratitude for all that We have given them; enjoy yourselves, for soon you will come to know.

56 : 16

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ نَصِيبٗا مِّمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡۗ تَٱللَّهِ لَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمۡ تَفۡتَرُونَ

56. And they assign to what they know not - a portion of what We have provided them. By Allāh, you shall be questioned about all that (lies) you used to invent (about Allāh).

57 : 16

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡبَنَٰتِ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَلَهُم مَّا يَشۡتَهُونَ

57. And they (also) assign to Allāh daughters - Glory be to Him! And for them is what they desire 'sons'.

58 : 16

وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِٱلۡأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجۡهُهُۥ مُسۡوَدّٗا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٞ

58. And when one of them is given the good news of (the birth) of a baby girl, his face darkens while he suppresses (his rage).

59 : 16

يَتَوَٰرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦٓۚ أَيُمۡسِكُهُۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمۡ يَدُسُّهُۥ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحۡكُمُونَ

59. He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that tidings announced to him. Shall he retain it in degradation or bury it (alive) in the dust? Unquestionably evil is what they judge.

60 : 16

لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مَثَلُ ٱلسَّوۡءِۖ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡمَثَلُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

60. For those who do not believe in the Hereafter is the example of evil, and for Allāh is the Highest Attributes; for He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

61 : 16

وَلَوۡ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِظُلۡمِهِم مَّا تَرَكَ عَلَيۡهَا مِن دَآبَّةٖ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ

61.And If Allāh were to take the people 'immediately' for their iniquities, He would not leave on the earth a single 'living' creature, but He delays them for an appointed time. When their term comes, they will not be able to delay it an hour, nor will they advance it.

62 : 16

وَيَجۡعَلُونَ لِلَّهِ مَا يَكۡرَهُونَۚ وَتَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُهُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰۚ لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَأَنَّهُم مُّفۡرَطُونَ

62. They assign to Allāh what they dislike (for themselves i.e., daughters) ^[22] and their tongues describe the lie that they will have the best (from Him) ^[23]. Undoubtedly, for them is the Fire, and that they will be (therein) abandoned.

[22]. That is, their saying that the angels are God’s daughters, while they dislike having daughters.
[23]. That they will be rewarded goodly both in this world and in the Hereafter.

63 : 16

تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

63.By Allāh, We sent (messengers) to nations before you (Muhammad), but Satan made their deeds fair-seeming to them ^[24], so he is their guardian today, and they will have a painful torment.

[24]. Such as disbelief, polytheism, rejecting the Messenger, and other evil deeds.

64 : 16

وَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

64. We have not sent down to you (Muhammad) the Book (this Qur’an) except that you may make clear to them that about which they differ ^[25], and a guide and a mercy for a people who believe.

[25]. I.e., worshiping Allāh alone, the Resurrection, and the rules of the Islamic Law.

65 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَحۡيَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَآۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَسۡمَعُونَ

65. And Allāh sends down water from the sky, then gives life by it to the earth after its death. In this there is certainly a Sign for a people who listen.

66 : 16

وَإِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ لَعِبۡرَةٗۖ نُّسۡقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهِۦ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ فَرۡثٖ وَدَمٖ لَّبَنًا خَالِصٗا سَآئِغٗا لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ

66. Indeed, there is certainly a lesson for you in the cattle. We give you to drink of what is in its bellies - between dung and blood ـ pure milk, palatable to its drinkers.

67 : 16

وَمِن ثَمَرَٰتِ ٱلنَّخِيلِ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَٰبِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنۡهُ سَكَرٗا وَرِزۡقًا حَسَنًاۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَعۡقِلُونَ

67. And of the fruits of the date-palms and the grapevines, you make intoxicants and goodly provision ^[26]. In this there is certainly a Sign for a people who understand.

[26]. This Verse was revealed before the prohibition of intoxicants.

68 : 16

وَأَوۡحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى ٱلنَّحۡلِ أَنِ ٱتَّخِذِي مِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ بُيُوتٗا وَمِنَ ٱلشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعۡرِشُونَ

68. Your Lord (Allāh) inspired to the 'female' bees ordering them: "Make hives in the mountains, in the trees, and in what they (people) erect.".

69 : 16

ثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ فَٱسۡلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلٗاۚ يَخۡرُجُ مِنۢ بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٞ مُّخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥ فِيهِ شِفَآءٞ لِّلنَّاسِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

69. Then eat of all the fruits and walk the ways of your Lord (Allāh) submissively ^[27]. There comes forth from their bellies a drink (honey) of varying colors, in which there is healing ^[28] for the people. There is certainly a Sign in this for a people who reflect.

[27]. The bees humbled themselves on the abated routes that Allāh inspired them to take, which made their lives easy, beneficial, and in tune with Allah's great Plan. How would the lives of humans be if they humbled themselves on the Path of Allāh, and did not pursue their own misleading ways?
[28]. Of the things that are said to be healing (a cure) in the Qur’an are the Qur’an itself and honey.

70 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمۡۚ وَمِنكُم مَّن يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَرۡذَلِ ٱلۡعُمُرِ لِكَيۡ لَا يَعۡلَمَ بَعۡدَ عِلۡمٖ شَيۡـًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٞ قَدِيرٞ

70. Allāh has created you, then He causes you to die, and of you is he who is turned back to the most decrepit age, so that after having knowledge he does not know anything. Indeed, Allāh is All-Knowing, Most Capable.

71 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ فِي ٱلرِّزۡقِۚ فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُواْ بِرَآدِّي رِزۡقِهِمۡ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌۚ أَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجۡحَدُونَ

71. And Allāh favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored will not hand over their provision to those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, so (that) they are equal therein ^[29]. Then Is it the favour of Allāh (Islamic Monotheism) which they deny (by ascribing partners to Allāh)?

[29]. If they would not accept to equally share their provision with their slaves, how would then they ascribe partners to Allāh, the Creator, in worship?

72 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَٰجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةٗ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِۚ أَفَبِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ وَبِنِعۡمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمۡ يَكۡفُرُونَ

72. Allāh has made for you spouses from yourselves, and has given you through your spouses sons and grandsons, and has given you of the good things. Do they then believe in falsehood and deny the Grace of Allāh (by associating partners with Him)?

73 : 16

وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمۡلِكُ لَهُمۡ رِزۡقٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ

73. Yet they worship besides Allāh that which does not possess (power to give) them any provision from the heavens and the earth anything, nor they can.

74 : 16

فَلَا تَضۡرِبُواْ لِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ

74. So do not set up equals to Allāh ^[30]; for Allāh knows and you do not know ^[31].

[30]. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these other than Allāh? This verse dismisses the idea that any gods could be compared with Allāh - the true God. As there is nothing similar to Him, nor He resembles anything or comparable to Him.
[31]. Due to not realizing Allah’s Greatness and out of their ignorance, they assert similarities between Him and their false gods.

75 : 16

۞ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبۡدٗا مَّمۡلُوكٗا لَّا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ وَمَن رَّزَقۡنَٰهُ مِنَّا رِزۡقًا حَسَنٗا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنۡهُ سِرّٗا وَجَهۡرًاۖ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوُۥنَۚ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

75. Allāh sets forth an example: (Consider) a slave who is owned and has no power over anything, and one whom We have granted from Ourselves a good provision, so he spends from it secretly and openly. Are the two alike? All Praise be to Allāh. But most of them do not know ^[32].

[32]. That all favors, blessings and graces are from Allāh alone, none owns them but He, and besides Allāh there is no God.

76 : 16

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا رَّجُلَيۡنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبۡكَمُ لَا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوۡلَىٰهُ أَيۡنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأۡتِ بِخَيۡرٍ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

76. Allāh sets forth (another) example (for the invalidity of idolatry) of two men: one of them is dumb, not able to do anything, and he is a burden to his master; wherever he sends him, he brings no good. Can he then be considered equal to the one who commands justice and is on right Path ^[33]?

[33]. Allāh alone guides to the Truth and worthy to be followed, there is none like Him, and there is no God besides Him.

77 : 16

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَآ أَمۡرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمۡحِ ٱلۡبَصَرِ أَوۡ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

77. And to Allāh belongs (the) unseen of the heavens and the earth. The matter of the Hour (of Doom) is but as the twinkling of an eye or it is closer still. Indeed, Allāh has full Power over all things.

78 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ أَخۡرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

78. Allāh brought you out from the wombs of your mothers, knowing nothing, and He gave you hearing, sight, and intellects, that you may give thanks 'to Him'.

79 : 16

أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيۡرِ مُسَخَّرَٰتٖ فِي جَوِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَا يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

79. Have they not seen the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? None withholds them except Allāh. In this there are certainly Signs for a people who believe.

80 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۢ بُيُوتِكُمۡ سَكَنٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بُيُوتٗا تَسۡتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوۡمَ ظَعۡنِكُمۡ وَيَوۡمَ إِقَامَتِكُمۡ وَمِنۡ أَصۡوَافِهَا وَأَوۡبَارِهَا وَأَشۡعَارِهَآ أَثَٰثٗا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينٖ

80. And Allāh has made for you of your homes a place of rest, and He has given you houses (tents) of the hides of cattle, which you find light on the day of your travel and the day of your encampment; and of their wool, their fur and their hair is furnishings and goods for a time.

81 : 16

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَٰلٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ أَكۡنَٰنٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ سَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ ٱلۡحَرَّ وَسَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأۡسَكُمۡۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهُۥ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡلِمُونَ

81. And Allāh has made for you of what He has created, shades and He has given you in the mountains, shelters and He has given you garments protecting you from the heat (and the cold) and garments protecting you in your wars. Thus does He complete His blessings upon you, that you may submit 'to Him alone'.

82 : 16

فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ

82. So if they turn away, then your only duty (O Muhammad) is a clear delivery (of the Message).

83 : 16

يَعۡرِفُونَ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكۡثَرُهُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ

83. They recognize the grace of Allāh, yet they deny it. And most of them are the disbelievers.

84 : 16

وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ شَهِيدٗا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤۡذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَلَا هُمۡ يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ

84. And (mention) the Day when We shall raise up a witness out of every nation, then they will not be permitted to those who disbelieved to plead (ignorance), nor will they be excused.

85 : 16

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ

85. When those who do iniquity will see the torment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be given respite.

86 : 16

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواْ شُرَكَآءَهُمۡ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُرَكَآؤُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِكَۖ فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ إِنَّكُمۡ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

86. And when those who associate (others with Allāh) see their associate-gods, they say: "Our Lord (Allāh), these are our associate-gods that we used to invoke besides You." But they will give them back the reply: (and will say): "Indeed, you are surely liars."

87 : 16

وَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَۖ وَضَلَّ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ

87. And on that Day they will offer total submission to Allāh 'alone'; and what they used to invent 'of false deities' will desert them.

88 : 16

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدۡنَٰهُمۡ عَذَابٗا فَوۡقَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يُفۡسِدُونَ

88. Those who disbelieved (in the Truth) and turned (people) away from God’s Way (Islam), We shall add torment over their torment, for what they used to spread corruption.

89 : 16

وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٖ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡهِم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡۖ وَجِئۡنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ تِبۡيَٰنٗا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ

89. And on the Day when We shall raise up from within each people a witness against them, and bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these 'peope of yours' . We have sent down the Book on you as an explanation of everything, a guide, mercy and good news for the Muslims ^[34].

[34]. Those who submit themselves to God.

90 : 16

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ وَٱلۡإِحۡسَٰنِ وَإِيتَآيِٕ ذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَيَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِ وَٱلۡبَغۡيِۚ يَعِظُكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَذَكَّرُونَ

90. Indeed, Allāh commands (people) to maintain justice, doing good, and giving generously to close relatives ^[35], and He forbids indecency, sin, and oppression; He admonishes you that you may take heed.

[35]. Degrees of kinship: parents, then offspring, then brothers and sisters, then paternal uncles and aunts, then maternal uncles and aunts, and then other relatives.

91 : 16

وَأَوۡفُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا عَٰهَدتُّمۡ وَلَا تَنقُضُواْ ٱلۡأَيۡمَٰنَ بَعۡدَ تَوۡكِيدِهَا وَقَدۡ جَعَلۡتُمُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ كَفِيلًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ

91. Fulfill the Covenant of Allāh when you make a pledge, and do not break the oaths after confirming them, while you have made Allāh a surety (i.e., witness) over you. Indeed, Allāh knows what you do.

92 : 16

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّتِي نَقَضَتۡ غَزۡلَهَا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ قُوَّةٍ أَنكَٰثٗا تَتَّخِذُونَ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلَۢا بَيۡنَكُمۡ أَن تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرۡبَىٰ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍۚ إِنَّمَا يَبۡلُوكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦۚ وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ لَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ مَا كُنتُمۡ فِيهِ تَخۡتَلِفُونَ

92. And do not be like the woman who (foolishly) untwisted her spun thread after it was strong, into shreds, by taking your oaths as (means of) deceit between you, simply because one nation may be more plentiful (in number or wealth) than another nation. Allāh only tries you by this; and He will certainly make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection (and judgement) that over which you used to differ.

93 : 16

وَلَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ وَلَٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَلَتُسۡـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

93. Had Allāh willed, He could have made you all of one religion ^[36], but He (justly) leaves whom He wills astray, and guides (out of His Favor) whom He wills. And you will certainly be questioned as to what you used to do.

[36]. Allāh, through His boundless Power and infinite Wisdom, could have made all people believers, but then how would their Faith be tested and they be held accountable for their deeds.

94 : 16

وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ أَيۡمَٰنَكُمۡ دَخَلَۢا بَيۡنَكُمۡ فَتَزِلَّ قَدَمُۢ بَعۡدَ ثُبُوتِهَا وَتَذُوقُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمۡ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ

94. Do not take your oaths a means of deceit between yourselves, lest a foot slip after its stability, then you may taste evil (in the world) because you turned away from God’s Way (Islam) and yours (in the Hereafter) is a terrible torment.

95 : 16

وَلَا تَشۡتَرُواْ بِعَهۡدِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنٗا قَلِيلًاۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

95. And do not trade Allah’s Covenant for a trifling gain. Indeed, what is with Allāh is better for you, if only you knew.

96 : 16

مَا عِندَكُمۡ يَنفَدُ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَاقٖۗ وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوٓاْ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

96. Whatever you have will be exhausted, but what is with Allāh is lasting. We shall surely give to those who who patiently endured their reward according to the best of what they used to do.

97 : 16

مَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَلَنُحۡيِيَنَّهُۥ حَيَوٰةٗ طَيِّبَةٗۖ وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُم بِأَحۡسَنِ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

97. Whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, and is a believer, We shall cause them to live a good life, and We shall give them their reward according to the best of what they used to do.

98 : 16

فَإِذَا قَرَأۡتَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ فَٱسۡتَعِذۡ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ

98. So when you recite the Qur’an, seek refuge by Allāh from the accursed Satan.

99 : 16

إِنَّهُۥ لَيۡسَ لَهُۥ سُلۡطَٰنٌ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

99. Surely he (Satan) has no authority over those who have believed and rely on their Lord (Allāh);

100 : 16

إِنَّمَا سُلۡطَٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوۡنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشۡرِكُونَ

100. His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those (by his temptation) associate others with (Allāh in worship).

101 : 16

وَإِذَا بَدَّلۡنَآ ءَايَةٗ مَّكَانَ ءَايَةٖ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفۡتَرِۭۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

101. When We substitute a Verse with another and Allāh knows best what He sends down (of revelation), they say: "You are only an inventor "of lies" But, most of them do not know.

102 : 16

قُلۡ نَزَّلَهُۥ رُوحُ ٱلۡقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَهُدٗى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ

102. Say: "The holy spirit (Gabriel) has brought it 'the Qur’an' down from your Lord in truth, so that it may strengthen those who believe, and as a guide and good news for the Muslims ^[37].

[37]. Those who submit themselves to God.

103 : 16

وَلَقَدۡ نَعۡلَمُ أَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَرٞۗ لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يُلۡحِدُونَ إِلَيۡهِ أَعۡجَمِيّٞ وَهَٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِيّٞ مُّبِينٌ

103. We know that they say: "It is only a human being who teaches him." The tongue of him whom they refer to is foreign, and this (Qur’an) is in a clear Arabic tongue.

104 : 16

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَهۡدِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

104. Indeed, those who do not believe in the Signs of Allāh (the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad) - Allāh does not guide them, and they will have a painful torment.

105 : 16

إِنَّمَا يَفۡتَرِي ٱلۡكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰذِبُونَ

105. It is only those who do not believe in the signs of Allāh who invents lies, and they are the liars.

106 : 16

مَن كَفَرَ بِٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ إِيمَٰنِهِۦٓ إِلَّا مَنۡ أُكۡرِهَ وَقَلۡبُهُۥ مُطۡمَئِنُّۢ بِٱلۡإِيمَٰنِ وَلَٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلۡكُفۡرِ صَدۡرٗا فَعَلَيۡهِمۡ غَضَبٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ

106. Whoever disbelieves in Allāh after his belief, except he who is forced while his hearts is firm in faith, (shall be forgiven). But whoever opens (his) chest willingly to disbelief - on these is the Wrath of Allāh, and they will have a grievous torment

107 : 16

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا عَلَى ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

107. This is because they prefer this worldly life over the Hereafter, and that Allāh guides not the denying people.

108 : 16

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ وَسَمۡعِهِمۡ وَأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡۖ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰفِلُونَ

108. These are the ones whose hearts, hearing, and sight are sealed ^[38] by Allāh, and these are the heedless ones.

[38]. Because they did not use their faculties of perception to seek guidance.

109 : 16

لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ

109. No doubt that in the Hereafter they will be the great losers.

110 : 16

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا فُتِنُواْ ثُمَّ جَٰهَدُواْ وَصَبَرُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

110. Then indeed, your Lord (grants His forgiveness) unto th to those who emigrated after they had been put to trial, and thereafter strove hard 'for the Cause of Allāh', and were patient; indeed, your Lord after that is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

111 : 16

۞ يَوۡمَ تَأۡتِي كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ تُجَٰدِلُ عَن نَّفۡسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ

111. (Remember) the Day when every soul will come, arguing for itself, and every soul will be paid in full what it has done, and they will not be dealt with unjustly.

112 : 16

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا قَرۡيَةٗ كَانَتۡ ءَامِنَةٗ مُّطۡمَئِنَّةٗ يَأۡتِيهَا رِزۡقُهَا رَغَدٗا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٖ فَكَفَرَتۡ بِأَنۡعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٰقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلۡجُوعِ وَٱلۡخَوۡفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصۡنَعُونَ

112. Allāh sets forth an example: a town safe and secure to which its provision comes in abundance from every place; but it became ungrateful for Allah’s favors, so Allāh made it to taste the utmost degree of hunger and fear because of what they used to do (of sins) ^[39].

[39]. This is a direct warning to the people - they are being warned against Divine Retribution in this worldly life as much as they have just been warned against the one in the Hereafter.

113 : 16

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ وَهُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ

113. Indeed, there had came to them a Messenger (Muhammad) from among them, but they denied him, so the torment seized them ^[40] while they were unjust.

[40]. By hunger and fear.

114 : 16

فَكُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَٰلٗا طَيِّبٗا وَٱشۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمۡ إِيَّاهُ تَعۡبُدُونَ

114. So eat of what Allāh has provided you, lawful and good (things), and give thanks for Allah’s grace if only it is Him that you worship.

115 : 16

إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحۡمَ ٱلۡخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦۖ فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ غَيۡرَ بَاغٖ وَلَا عَادٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

115. He has only forbidden you carrion, blood ^[41], pork and and what is consecrated in the name of any other than Allāh. But whoever is driven (to consume such meats) by necessity, not desiring nor exceeding the limits, then Allāh is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[41]. I.e., flowing blood, not what remains in blood vessels after the slaughter.

116 : 16

وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَٰلٞ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٞ لِّتَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ لَا يُفۡلِحُونَ

116. Do not say what your tongues describe falsely "saying': "This is lawful and this is unlawful, in order to invent a lie against Allāh." Those who forge lies against Allāh will not succeed and prosper.

117 : 16

مَتَٰعٞ قَلِيلٞ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

117. (It is only) a brief enjoyment and they will have a painful torment

118 : 16

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ حَرَّمۡنَا مَا قَصَصۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَمَا ظَلَمۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ

118. And for those who Judaized, We prohibited that which We have already related to you (O Muhammad) ^[42] earlier. We did them no injustice, but they were unjust to themselves.

[42]. See chapter 6 verse 146.

119 : 16

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُواْ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَٰلَةٖ ثُمَّ تَابُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصۡلَحُوٓاْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهَا لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٌ

119. Then indeed, your Lord (shows Mercy and love) to those who do evil out of ignorance, then after that repent and live righteously; indeed, your Lord after it, is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

120 : 16

إِنَّ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةٗ قَانِتٗا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفٗا وَلَمۡ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

120. Surely Abraham was a nation ^[43], devoutly committed to Allāh, upright, and he was not of the polytheists.

[43]. I.e., leading paragon and shining example.

121 : 16

شَاكِرٗا لِّأَنۡعُمِهِۚ ٱجۡتَبَىٰهُ وَهَدَىٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

121. Thankful for His graces. He chose him and guided him to a straight Path (of the religion of Islam).

122 : 16

وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٗۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

122. And We gave him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he will certainly be among the righteous.

123 : 16

ثُمَّ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعۡ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفٗاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

123. Then We revealed to you (O Muhammad): Follow (Islam) the (purely Monotheistic) Faith of Abraham, the upright one, and he was not of the polytheists.

124 : 16

إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبۡتُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخۡتَلَفُواْ فِيهِۚ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَخۡتَلِفُونَ

124. Surely the Sabbath was ordained only for those (Jews) who differed about (its observance),  and your Lord will certainly judge between them on the Day of Judgement, that about which they differed.

125 : 16

ٱدۡعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ وَٱلۡمَوۡعِظَةِ ٱلۡحَسَنَةِۖ وَجَٰدِلۡهُم بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ

125. Invite (all people to Islam) the Way of (Allāh) your Lord with wisdom and good advice, and argue with them in the best manner. Indeed, your Lord best knows those who go astray from His path, and He knows best who is rightly guided.

126 : 16

وَإِنۡ عَاقَبۡتُمۡ فَعَاقِبُواْ بِمِثۡلِ مَا عُوقِبۡتُم بِهِۦۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرۡتُمۡ لَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لِّلصَّٰبِرِينَ

126. If you retaliate, then retaliate with the like of that with which you were afflicted; but if you patiently endure (instead of revenge), it is best for the patient ^[44].

[44]. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, quarrel and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as Allāh forgive your sins.

127 : 16

وَٱصۡبِرۡ وَمَا صَبۡرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِۚ وَلَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا تَكُ فِي ضَيۡقٖ مِّمَّا يَمۡكُرُونَ

127. Be patient, and your patience is only with Allah's help. Do not grieve for them (the deniers), nor be distressed by their plotting (of evil plans).

128 : 16

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحۡسِنُونَ

128. Indeed, Allāh is with those who fear Him (and shun evil) and those who are good-doers ^[45].

[45]. Who excel in their worship of their sole Creator, Allāh, and do good deeds. Therefore be mindful of Allāh, focus on Him. You must get rid of all prohibited things: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, greed, theft and cheating. Because of these, the wrath of Allāh is coming. You must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, lying, and filthy language from your lips. We should follow our example, God's last messenger, the Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, as Muslims, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as Allāh forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
