Ayah: 16

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

16. As for those who dispute about 'Islam, the true religion of' God after it has been accepted 'by many people' - their dispute is invalid with their Lord 'Allāh', and upon them is 'His' anger, and for them is a severe torment.

Ayah: 17

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'. What can make you know that perhaps the Hour 'of the Doom' is near?

Ayah: 18

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 it, but those who believe are in fear from it, and they know that it is the Truth. Those who dispute about the Hour 'of Doom' are certainly in extreme error.

Ayah: 19

ٱللَّهُ لَطِيفُۢ بِعِبَادِهِۦ يَرۡزُقُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَهُوَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ

19. Allāh is Subtle to His servants. He provides 'abundantly' for whom He wills⁸ for He is the All-Strong, the All-Mighty.

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

Ayah: 20

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 give him increase in its harvest. But whoever desires the harvest of the world, We give him of it, and in the Hereafter he has no share 'of good'.

Ayah: 21

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

21. Do they have partners 'associate-gods' who have ordained for them some ˹false˺ beliefs, which Allāh 'God' had not authorized? Had it not been for a decisive Word 'gone forth already', the matter would have certainly been judged between them. The unjust will have a painful torment.

Ayah: 22

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 workers of iniquity fearing because of what they have done 'of sins', and it must befall them. 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.
