A party will be in Paradise, and a party in the blazing flame.

وَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفۡتُمۡ فِيهِ مِن شَيۡءٖ فَحُكۡمُهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّي عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ وَإِلَيۡهِ أُنِيبُ

11 : 42

فَاطِرُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗا وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ أَزۡوَٰجٗا يَذۡرَؤُكُمۡ فِيهِۚ لَيۡسَ كَمِثۡلِهِۦ شَيۡءٞۖ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ

12. To Him belongs the keys of the heavens and the earth. He extends the provision for whom He wills, and straitens (it for whom He wills). Surely He is the All-Knowing of all things.

13 : 42

۞ شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِۦ نُوحٗا وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَا وَصَّيۡنَا بِهِۦٓ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰٓۖ أَنۡ أَقِيمُواْ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُواْ فِيهِۚ كَبُرَ عَلَى ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ مَا تَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِۚ ٱللَّهُ يَجۡتَبِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ مَن يُنِيبُ

13. He has ordained for you the same faith (of Islam) He enjoined on Noah, and that which We have revealed to you (Muhammad), and what We have enjoined on Abraham, Moses and Jesus ^[6], saying: "Uphold the Islamic Monotheism, and be not divided therein. Hard for the pagans is that which you call them to. Allāh chooses for Himself whom He wills, and guides to Himself who turns to Him (in repentance).

[6]. This Verse is naming the five greatest prophets of God, the prophets of the firm resolve: Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allāh be upon them all.

14 : 42

وَمَا تَفَرَّقُوٓاْ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيَۢا بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةٞ سَبَقَتۡ مِن رَّبِّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗى لَّقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُورِثُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ لَفِي شَكّٖ مِّنۡهُ مُرِيبٖ

14.And they (the early Jews and Nazarenes) did not become divided (into many sects) until after knowledge had come to them out of envy among themselves. Had not a Word preceded from your Lord till an appointed term, the matter would certainly have been settled between them. And indeed, those (later generations of them) who were made to inherit the Scripture ^[7] after them are in disquieting doubt about it.

[7]. I.e., the Jews and the Christians.

 
   

15 : 42

فَلِذَٰلِكَ فَٱدۡعُۖ وَٱسۡتَقِمۡ كَمَآ أُمِرۡتَۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۖ وَقُلۡ ءَامَنتُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِن كِتَٰبٖۖ وَأُمِرۡتُ لِأَعۡدِلَ بَيۡنَكُمُۖ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمۡۖ لَنَآ أَعۡمَٰلُنَا وَلَكُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلُكُمۡۖ لَا حُجَّةَ بَيۡنَنَا وَبَيۡنَكُمُۖ ٱللَّهُ يَجۡمَعُ بَيۡنَنَاۖ وَإِلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

15. So to that then invite, and stay firm on the right course as you are commanded. Do not follow their low desires, and say: "I believe in whatever Allāh has sent down of Scripture, and I am commanded to do justice between you: Allāh is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds, and for you your deeds. There is (no need for) plea between us and you. Allāh will gather between us, and to Him is the (final) return."

16 : 42

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُحَآجُّونَ فِي ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ٱسۡتُجِيبَ لَهُۥ حُجَّتُهُمۡ دَاحِضَةٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ وَعَلَيۡهِمۡ غَضَبٞ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٌ

16. As for those who argue about Allāh after He has been responded to - their plea is invalid with their Lord (Allāh), and upon them is (His) wrath, and for them is a severe torment.

17 : 42

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَٱلۡمِيزَانَۗ وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٞ

17. It is Allāh Who sent down the Book (this Qur’an) in truth, and the Balance (to act justly). And what can make you know that perhaps the Hour (of the Doom) is near?

18 : 42

يَسۡتَعۡجِلُ بِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهَاۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مُشۡفِقُونَ مِنۡهَا وَيَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّهَا ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِي ٱلسَّاعَةِ لَفِي ضَلَٰلِۭ بَعِيدٍ

18. Those who do not believe in it seek to hasten thereby, and those who believe are fearful of it, and they know that it is the Truth. Unquestionably, indeed those who dispute about the Hour (of Doom) are certainly in extreme error.

19 : 42

ٱللَّهُ لَطِيفُۢ بِعِبَادِهِۦ يَرۡزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ

19. Allāh is Subtle to His servants. He provides (abundantly) for whom He wills ^[8] for He is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty.

[8]. And straitens them for whom He wills, according to His Wisdom.

20 : 42

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرۡثَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ نَزِدۡ لَهُۥ فِي حَرۡثِهِۦۖ وَمَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرۡثَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا نُؤۡتِهِۦ مِنۡهَا وَمَا لَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِن نَّصِيبٍ

20. Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We increase for him in his harvest. And whoever desires the harvest of the world, We give him of it, and in the Hereafter he has no share (of good).

21 : 42

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شُرَكَٰٓؤُاْ شَرَعُواْ لَهُم مِّنَ ٱلدِّينِ مَا لَمۡ يَأۡذَنۢ بِهِ ٱللَّهُۚ وَلَوۡلَا كَلِمَةُ ٱلۡفَصۡلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

21. Or do they have associate-gods who have ordained for them of the faith, which Allāh had not authorized? And had it not been for a decisive word, the matter would have certainly been judged between them. And indeed, The unjust will have a painful torment.

22 : 42

تَرَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ مُشۡفِقِينَ مِمَّا كَسَبُواْ وَهُوَ وَاقِعُۢ بِهِمۡۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فِي رَوۡضَاتِ ٱلۡجَنَّاتِۖ لَهُم مَّا يَشَآءُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ

22. You will see the unjust fearing because of what they have earned (of sins), and it is befalling them. And those who believe and do righteous deeds will be in the meadows of the Gardens, they will have whatever they desire from their Lord (Allāh) - that is the great Bounty.

23 : 42

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ ٱللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِۗ قُل لَّآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرًا إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوَدَّةَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰۗ وَمَن يَقۡتَرِفۡ حَسَنَةٗ نَّزِدۡ لَهُۥ فِيهَا حُسۡنًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ شَكُورٌ

23. That is (of) which Allāh gives as good news to His servants, who have believed and done righteous deeds. Say (Muhammad): "I do not ask of you any reward for it (this Message) except to show affection ^[9] to me for my kinship (with you). And whoever commits a good deed, We increase for him therein goodness. Indeed, Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Grateful.

[9]. Let love and faithfulness never leave you. Be devoted to one another in love and mercy. Be kind. Honor one another above yourselves. Then you will win favor and a good name in the Sight of Allāh.

24 : 42

أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗاۖ فَإِن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يَخۡتِمۡ عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَۗ وَيَمۡحُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

24. Or do they say: "He has invented a lie against Allāh?" And if Allāh so willed, He will seal (over) your heart; and Allāh will wipe out the falsehood and establish the Truth by His words. Surely He is All-Knowing of what is in the chests (of mankind and jinn).

25 : 42

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَقۡبَلُ ٱلتَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَنِ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ

25. It It is He (Allāh) Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons the sins and He knows what you do;

26 : 42

وَيَسۡتَجِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦۚ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞ

26. And He answers (the invocation of) those who believe and do righteous deeds ^[10], and increases for them of His bounty. And the disbelievers for them will be a severe torment.

[10]. Allāh is listening for our requests. The Eyes of Allāh our Lord are on the righteous, and His Hearing is attentive to their prayer.

27 : 42

۞ وَلَوۡ بَسَطَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ لَبَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٖ مَّا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرُۢ بَصِيرٞ

27. If Allāh were to enlarge the provision for His slaves they would certainly rebel in the earth; but He sends down according to a measure as He wills. Surely He of His slaves (of mankind) is All-Aware, All-Seeing.

28 : 42

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡغَيۡثَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا قَنَطُواْ وَيَنشُرُ رَحۡمَتَهُۥۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡوَلِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ

28. And it is He (Allāh) Who sends down the rain after they have despaired, and He spreads out His mercy. And He is the Guardian, the Praiseworthy.

29 : 42

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ خَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَآبَّةٖۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمۡعِهِمۡ إِذَا يَشَآءُ قَدِيرٞ

29. And among Allah’s signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and what He has spread forth in both of them of living beings. And He is over their gathering, when He wills, All-Powerful.

30 : 42

وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٖ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتۡ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَن كَثِيرٖ

30. Whatever calamity befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned (of sins), and yet He pardons much.

31 : 42

وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ

31. And you cannot escape (Him) on earth, and you have neither any protector or helper besides Allāh.

32 : 42

وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِ ٱلۡجَوَارِ فِي ٱلۡبَحۡرِ كَٱلۡأَعۡلَٰمِ

32. And among His signs are the ships in the sea, like the mountains.

33 : 42

إِن يَشَأۡ يُسۡكِنِ ٱلرِّيحَ فَيَظۡلَلۡنَ رَوَاكِدَ عَلَىٰ ظَهۡرِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٖ شَكُورٍ

33. If He wills, He stills the wind, then they lie motionless on its surface. There are certainly signs in this for every one patient and grateful.

34 : 42

أَوۡ يُوبِقۡهُنَّ بِمَا كَسَبُواْ وَيَعۡفُ عَن كَثِيرٖ

34. Or He may cause them to perish (by drowning) for what they have earned (of sins), and (even then) He pardons much.

35 : 42

وَيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِنَا مَا لَهُم مِّن مَّحِيصٖ

35. And (that is so) those who dispute about Our verses may know (that) for them there is no place of refuge.

36 : 42

فَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَيۡءٖ فَمَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۚ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ وَأَبۡقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

36. So, whatever thing you are given, is but a provision of this worldly life, and what is with Allāh is better and more lasting for those who believe (in His Oneness) and rely on their Lord 'Allāh'.

37 : 42

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُواْ هُمۡ يَغۡفِرُونَ

37. And those who avoid major sins and indecencies, and whenever they are angry they (restrain themselves and) forgive ^[11].

[11]. He did not say that they take revenge, oppress, or kill. Make it a rule in your dealings with people and be tolerant. Be good listener, slow to speak and slow to become angry. As believers in Allāh and His last and final messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, we are to be following more like our compassionate and gracious God, Allāh, Who is slow to be angered, abounding in love and faithfulness.
A companion of the Prophet reported: We accompanied the Messenger of God (ﷺ) in the campaign of Dhat-ur-Riqa`. We left him (ﷺ) to take rest under a shady tree. One of the pagans came to him. The sword of Messenger of God (ﷺ) was hanging on a tree. He drew it and said: "Who will protect you from me?'' The Messenger of God (ﷺ) replied, "Allāh". As soon as he said this, the sword fell down from his hand and the Messenger of God (ﷺ) catching the sword, asked him, "Who will protect you from me.'' The pagan man said, "Please forgive me.'' The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, "On condition you testify that there is none worthy of worship but Allāh and that I am His messenger.'' The man said, "No, but I promise you that I shall not fight against you, nor shall I be with those who fight with you". The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) let him go. Then the man went back to his companions and said: "I have come to you from one of the best of mankind".

38 : 42

وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِرَبِّهِمۡ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَمۡرُهُمۡ شُورَىٰ بَيۡنَهُمۡ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ

38. And those who answer the call ^[12] of their Lord (Allāh) and keep up the prayer, and who conduct their affairs by mutual consultation, and spend (in charity) out of what We have given them.

[12]. I.e. to believe that He is the only One True God and to worship none but Him.

39 : 42

وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلۡبَغۡيُ هُمۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ

39. And those who, when tyranny afflicts them, they defend themselves (in a just manner).

40 : 42

وَجَزَٰٓؤُاْ سَيِّئَةٖ سَيِّئَةٞ مِّثۡلُهَاۖ فَمَنۡ عَفَا وَأَصۡلَحَ فَأَجۡرُهُۥ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

40. And the recompense of an injury, is an injury like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward is with Allāh. Indeed, He does not like the unjust.

41 : 42

وَلَمَنِ ٱنتَصَرَ بَعۡدَ ظُلۡمِهِۦ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ مَا عَلَيۡهِم مِّن سَبِيلٍ

41. And whosoever defends himself after he has been wronged, then those there is no a way (of blame) against them.

42 : 42

إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَيَبۡغُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ بِغَيۡرِ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ

42. The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress men and rebel in the earth without right; for such (wrongdoers) there will be a suppressing torment.

43 : 42

وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنۡ عَزۡمِ ٱلۡأُمُورِ

43. And indeed whoever is patient ^[13] and forgives, indeed, that is of the matters (requiring) of determination.

[13]. Be completely humble and gentle. Be patient, bearing with one another in love.

44 : 42

وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن وَلِيّٖ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۗ وَتَرَى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلۡ إِلَىٰ مَرَدّٖ مِّن سَبِيلٖ

44. And whoever Allāh leaves astray, for him there is no any guardian after Him. And you will see the unjust when they see the torment, saying: "Is there any way of return ^[14].?"

[14]. To the world so that we may do good.

45 : 42

وَتَرَىٰهُمۡ يُعۡرَضُونَ عَلَيۡهَا خَٰشِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرۡفٍ خَفِيّٖۗ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَأَهۡلِيهِمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ فِي عَذَابٖ مُّقِيمٖ

45. And you will see them being exposed to it ( Hell), humbled from disgrace, looking from a furtive glance.Those who believe will say: "The losers are the ones who will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, indeed, the wrongdoers will remain in a lasting torment."

46 : 42

وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَن يُضۡلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن سَبِيلٍ

46. And they will have no protectors to help them against Allāh. He whom Allāh leaves astray, he will have no way (to Guidance and eternal Happiness).

47 : 42

ٱسۡتَجِيبُواْ لِرَبِّكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَ يَوۡمٞ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِۚ مَا لَكُم مِّن مَّلۡجَإٖ يَوۡمَئِذٖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّكِيرٖ

47. Respond to the Call of your Lord ^[15] before a Day comes which cannot be averted from Allāh. You will have no refuge on that Day, nor will it be yours to make any denial (of your sins).

[15]. I.e., accept Islâmic Monotheism.

48 : 42

فَإِنۡ أَعۡرَضُواْ فَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَفِيظًاۖ إِنۡ عَلَيۡكَ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُۗ وَإِنَّآ إِذَآ أَذَقۡنَا ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ مِنَّا رَحۡمَةٗ فَرِحَ بِهَاۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَيِّئَةُۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ كَفُورٞ

48. If they then turn away (from you), We have not sent you (Muhammad) as a watcher over them. Upon you is only to convey (the Message clearly) ^[16]. And indeed We, when We let man taste Mercy from Us, he rejoices from it. And if an evil afflicts them because of what their hands have put forth (of sins), then indeed, (the) man is ungrateful.

[16]. Prophet Muhammad’s message is complete and clear. His main thrust of preaching centered around the Oneness of God, His Prophethood, the Hereafter life, preaching mercy, love, acceptance, and forgiveness among people. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the importance of loving Allāh and loving one's brother, neighbor. He taught that Allah's kingdom is accessible to all, regardless of social status or religious background, as long as they obey Allāh and His messenger ﷺ. The Prophet Muhammad’s message resonated with people from all walks of life. He offered hope to the marginalized, healed the sick (by Allah's Command), and embraced those deemed unworthy by society. His message of inclusivity and compassion drew large crowds and transformed the lives of many, and many turn away from the Truth.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, said: “The parable of myself and all of you is that of a man who kindled a fire and tried to stop insects and moths from falling into it. I keep holding you back from the fire, yet you slip from my hand.”

49 : 42

لِّلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُۚ يَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ إِنَٰثٗا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ٱلذُّكُورَ

49. To Allāh belongs the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He grants to whom He wills females, and grants to whom He wills males.

50 : 42

أَوۡ يُزَوِّجُهُمۡ ذُكۡرَانٗا وَإِنَٰثٗاۖ وَيَجۡعَلُ مَن يَشَآءُ عَقِيمًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٞ قَدِيرٞ

50. Or He couples them with both males and females, and He makes whom He wills barren. Surely He is All-Knowing, Powerful.

51 : 42

۞ وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحۡيًا أَوۡ مِن وَرَآيِٕ حِجَابٍ أَوۡ يُرۡسِلَ رَسُولٗا فَيُوحِيَ بِإِذۡنِهِۦ مَا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٞ

51.It is not for any human being that Allāh should speak to him except by Revelation or from behind a veil, or by sending 'angelic' messenger to reveal by His Permission what He wills. Surely He is Most High and All-Wise

52 : 42

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ رُوحٗا مِّنۡ أَمۡرِنَاۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدۡرِي مَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ وَلَا ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِن جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُورٗا نَّهۡدِي بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهۡدِيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

52. And thus We have revealed to you ( Muhammad) an Inspiration of Our Command. You did not know what was the Book, nor what was Faith, but We have made it (the Qur’an) a Light, whereby We guide whom We will of Our slaves (of mankind and jinn). And you certainly guide (the people) to a right Path;

53 : 42

صِرَٰطِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَصِيرُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ

53. The Path of Allāh, to whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Unquestionably, to Allāh do all matters return (for decision).
