Ayah: 32

قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتُضۡعِفُوٓاْ أَنَحۡنُ صَدَدۡنَٰكُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ جَآءَكُمۖ بَلۡ كُنتُم مُّجۡرِمِينَ

32. Those who were arrogant will say to those who were deemed weak: "Did we turn you away from the guidance after it had come to you?" No, you 'yourselves' were wicked people.

Ayah: 33

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتُضۡعِفُواْ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ بَلۡ مَكۡرُ ٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذۡ تَأۡمُرُونَنَآ أَن نَّكۡفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَنَجۡعَلَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادٗاۚ وَأَسَرُّواْ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَۚ وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلۡأَغۡلَٰلَ فِيٓ أَعۡنَاقِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۖ هَلۡ يُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

33. Those who were deemed weak will say to those who were arrogant, "Rather, 'it was your' conspiracy by night and day when you ordered us to deny Allāh and to set up equals with Him." They are filled with remorse when they see the torment, and We shall put shackles on the necks of the deniers. They will not be recompensed except for what they used to do 'of sins'.

Ayah: 34

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِي قَرۡيَةٖ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتۡرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرۡسِلۡتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ

34. We never sent a warner to a town but its affluent ones said: "We are deniers in what you are sent with."

Ayah: 35

وَقَالُواْ نَحۡنُ أَكۡثَرُ أَمۡوَٰلٗا وَأَوۡلَٰدٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُعَذَّبِينَ

35. Saying also: "We have more wealth and children, and we shall not be chastised."

Ayah: 36

36. Say, 'Muhammad': "My Lord 'Allāh' extends the provision for whom He wills or straitens it, but most people do not know."

Ayah: 37

وَمَآ أَمۡوَٰلُكُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَٰدُكُم بِٱلَّتِي تُقَرِّبُكُمۡ عِندَنَا زُلۡفَىٰٓ إِلَّا مَنۡ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ جَزَآءُ ٱلضِّعۡفِ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡغُرُفَٰتِ ءَامِنُونَ

37. It is not your wealth nor your children that bring you colser to Us12, but whoever believes and does good deeds, these it is for whom there is a double reward for what they did 'of righteousness', and they will reside in the high dwellings 'of Paradise' in peace and security.

 12. I.e., earns the good Pleasure of Allāh.

Ayah: 38

39. Say: "My Lord 'Allāh' extends the provision for whom He wills of His servants or straitens it. Whatever thing you spend (for the Cause of Allāh), He will compensate it. For He is the Best of providers."
