Fātir

Versetto: 1

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَاعِلِ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُوْلِيٓ أَجۡنِحَةٖ مَّثۡنَىٰ وَثُلَٰثَ وَرُبَٰعَۚ يَزِيدُ فِي ٱلۡخَلۡقِ مَا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

1. All praise be to Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers having wings, two, three, or four¹. He increases in creation what He wills. Allah is able to do all things.

1. The Qur'an is filled with verses about angels. Allah is the Creator, and therefore, He created angels. Filled with the power given by Allah, angels are messengers of Allah created to serve and worship Allah. Angels can intercede and protect His creations. Allah commands his angels concerning you to guard the true believers.

Versetto: 2

مَّا يَفۡتَحِ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحۡمَةٖ فَلَا مُمۡسِكَ لَهَاۖ وَمَا يُمۡسِكۡ فَلَا مُرۡسِلَ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

2. Whatever Allah grants to the people of (His) mercy, none can withhold it. And whatever He withholds, none can grant it thereafter. For He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Versetto: 3

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ هَلۡ مِنۡ خَٰلِقٍ غَيۡرُ ٱللَّهِ يَرۡزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ

3. People, remember the Favor of Allah upon you. Is there any creator other than Allah who provides for you from the heaven and earth? There is no (true) God except Him. So how are you deluded?

Versetto: 4

وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدۡ كُذِّبَتۡ رُسُلٞ مِّن قَبۡلِكَۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرۡجَعُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ

4. If they reject you (Muhammad), so were Messengers rejected (by their people) before you. And to Allah return all matters (for decision).

Versetto: 5

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞۖ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلۡغَرُورُ

5. O people, the Promise of Allah is true. Let not the life of this world deceive you², nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah (God)³.

2. One should not be overly attached to worldly (non-spiritual) things. Believers are to love Allah and His messenger Muhammad and love one another, not the world or possessions. Those who love the world whole heartedly, cannot truly love Allah. These highlight the contrast between love of the world and love of Allah. Jesus offered an example of this contrast when He was tempted by Satan in the wilderness. Satan told Jesus He could rule all the kingdoms of the world - if He would bow down to him. Jesus replied, "Be gone, Satan. For it is written: You shall worship Allah your God and him only shall you serve".
3. O Allah, deliver me from the devil’s deception. Saving God, give me grace to live for You and die for you, to pray to You only and to make my sacrifices and vows to You. There is none like You O Allah, and there is no god besides You.

Versetto: 6

إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ لَكُمۡ عَدُوّٞ فَٱتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّاۚ إِنَّمَا يَدۡعُواْ حِزۡبَهُۥ لِيَكُونُواْ مِنۡ أَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ

6. Satan is an enemy to you, so consider him as an enemy⁴. He only invites his party to be among the inmates of the Hellfire.

4. Satan is to be looked upon as an enemy, and to be opposed as such, and to be watched and guarded against; the whole armour of God should be taken and made use of, particularly the weapon of prayer, the word of God 'the Qur’an', and the shield of faith; and also the grace of humility.

Versetto: 7

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَأَجۡرٞ كَبِيرٌ

7. Those who deny (Allah and His messengers), they will have a severe Torment, but those who believe and do righteous deeds, they will have forgiveness and a great Reward (of Paradise).

Versetto: 8

أَفَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُۥ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ فَرَءَاهُ حَسَنٗاۖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۖ فَلَا تَذۡهَبۡ نَفۡسُكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَسَرَٰتٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَصۡنَعُونَ

8. Is he, to whom the evil of his deeds is made fair seeming to him, so much so that he considers them good (equal to one who is rightly guided)? Allah (justly) leaves astray whom He wills, and guides (as a favor from Him) whom He wills. Let not yourself waste away in sorrowing over them. Allah is All-Knowing of what they do.

Versetto: 9

وَٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابٗا فَسُقۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ بَلَدٖ مَّيِّتٖ فَأَحۡيَيۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ ٱلنُّشُورُ

9. It is Allah Who sends the winds so they raise the clouds, then We drive them on to a dead land, and revive therewith the earth after its death. Such is the Resurrection.

Versetto: 10

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡعِزَّةُ جَمِيعًاۚ إِلَيۡهِ يَصۡعَدُ ٱلۡكَلِمُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ وَٱلۡعَمَلُ ٱلصَّٰلِحُ يَرۡفَعُهُۥۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡكُرُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞۖ وَمَكۡرُ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ

10. Whoever seeks honor, then to Allah (alone) belongs all Glory and Power. To Him ascends the good words; and the righteous deeds uplift them. Those who plot evil deeds⁵, they will have a severe Torment; and the plotting of those will perish.

5. Allah commanded us that we maintain true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another, that we do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the stranger, the foreigner or the poor, and that we do not plot evil against each other.

Versetto: 11

وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُم مِّن تُرَابٖ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطۡفَةٖ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمۡ أَزۡوَٰجٗاۚ وَمَا تَحۡمِلُ مِنۡ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلۡمِهِۦۚ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِن مُّعَمَّرٖ وَلَا يُنقَصُ مِنۡ عُمُرِهِۦٓ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٞ

11. Allah created you from dust, then out of a drop of sperm, then He made you in pairs. No female bears nor does she bring forth, except with His knowledge. No aged person has his life lengthened, nor is anything diminished of one’s life, but it is all in a Register. Indeed, this is easy for Allah.

Versetto: 12

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡبَحۡرَانِ هَٰذَا عَذۡبٞ فُرَاتٞ سَآئِغٞ شَرَابُهُۥ وَهَٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجٞۖ وَمِن كُلّٖ تَأۡكُلُونَ لَحۡمٗا طَرِيّٗا وَتَسۡتَخۡرِجُونَ حِلۡيَةٗ تَلۡبَسُونَهَاۖ وَتَرَى ٱلۡفُلۡكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

12. The two seas, one is sweet, good to drink and other salty and bitter, are not alike. Yet from each of them you eat fresh tender meat (fish) and bring forth ornaments which you wear. You see the ships cleave through it, so that you may seek His favor, and be grateful.

Versetto: 13

يُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ يَجۡرِي لِأَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ لَهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِن قِطۡمِيرٍ

13. He causes the night to enter into the day, and causes the day to enter into the night, and subjected the sun and the moon - each one follows its course to an appointed time. Such is Allah, your Lord, to Him belongs the Kingdom. Those whom you invoke besides Him do not control (even) the husk of a date stone.

Versetto: 14

إِن تَدۡعُوهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُواْ دُعَآءَكُمۡ وَلَوۡ سَمِعُواْ مَا ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لَكُمۡۖ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِشِرۡكِكُمۡۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثۡلُ خَبِيرٖ

14. If you invoke them they will not hear your supplication, and even if they could hear they will not answer you. On the Day of Resurrection they will deny your worship of them. None can tell you (the truth) like the One Who is All-Aware (Allah).

Versetto: 15

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ أَنتُمُ ٱلۡفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ وَٱللَّهُ هُوَ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ

15. Oh people, you are always in need of Allah, for Allah is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy.

Versetto: 16

إِن يَشَأۡ يُذۡهِبۡكُمۡ وَيَأۡتِ بِخَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٖ

16. If He wills, He can do away with you, and bring about a new creation.

Versetto: 17

وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٖ

17. And that nothing is hard for Allah.

Versetto: 18

وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۚ وَإِن تَدۡعُ مُثۡقَلَةٌ إِلَىٰ حِمۡلِهَا لَا يُحۡمَلۡ مِنۡهُ شَيۡءٞ وَلَوۡ كَانَ ذَا قُرۡبَىٰٓۗ إِنَّمَا تُنذِرُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخۡشَوۡنَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَۚ وَمَن تَزَكَّىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَتَزَكَّىٰ لِنَفۡسِهِۦۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

18. No one will bear the sin of another⁶, and if one weighed down by his load should call for (another to carry) his burden, nothing of it will be carried, even though he be a close relative. You warn only those who fear their Lord (Allah) though unseen and keep up the prayer. Whoever purifies himself, he only does so for his own good. And to Allah is the final Return.

6. From the Justice of Allah is that He will not count others who are innocent, as guilty for the sins of their fathers through ‘ancestral’ or ‘original’ sin.

Versetto: 19

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ وَٱلۡبَصِيرُ

19. The blind and the seeing are not alike,

Versetto: 20

وَلَا ٱلظُّلُمَٰتُ وَلَا ٱلنُّورُ

20. Nor the darknesses and the light,

 

   

Versetto: 21

وَلَا ٱلظِّلُّ وَلَا ٱلۡحَرُورُ

21. Nor the shade and the heat,

Versetto: 22

وَمَا يَسۡتَوِي ٱلۡأَحۡيَآءُ وَلَا ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰتُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسۡمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسۡمِعٖ مَّن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ

22. Neither are the living and the dead alike. Allah makes whom He wills hear, but you cannot make hear those who are in the graves⁷.

7. The four examples given by Allah in verses 19-22 are those of the believer and unbeliever, disbelief and belief, Paradise and Hellfire, and those receptive to guidance and those unreceptive.

Versetto: 23

إِنۡ أَنتَ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ

23. You (Muhammad) are only a warner⁸.

8. I.e. your duty is to convey God's Message to mankind but the guidance is God's.

Versetto: 24

إِنَّآ أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ بَشِيرٗا وَنَذِيرٗاۚ وَإِن مِّنۡ أُمَّةٍ إِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٞ

24. We have sent you (Muhammad) with the Truth being a bearer of good news and a warner⁹. No nation but a warner had passed among them.

9. Sending Prophet Muhammad as God's last and final messenger is great blessing. Allah sent the Prophet Muhammad into the world to convey His message, and we praise Prophet Muhammad for it. We are grateful to our prophet who, at the end of His call to Islamic Monotheism, was able to look to heaven and say, “I have brought you glory on earth by finishing well the mission you gave me to do. The Prophet Muhammad’s mission was to fulfill God's plan on the earth, to seek and save the pagans, the lost Jews and Christians and guide them to the straight Path of Islam.

Versetto: 25

وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدۡ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَبِٱلزُّبُرِ وَبِٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُنِيرِ

25. If they reject you (Muhammad), those before them also rejected (the Truth), their messengers had come to them with clear Proofs, written Ordinances, and the enlightening Scripture.

Versetto: 26

ثُمَّ أَخَذۡتُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْۖ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

26. Then I (Allah) seized those who denied (the Truth of Islam), so how (terrible) was My Reproach.

Versetto: 27

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦ ثَمَرَٰتٖ مُّخۡتَلِفًا أَلۡوَٰنُهَاۚ وَمِنَ ٱلۡجِبَالِ جُدَدُۢ بِيضٞ وَحُمۡرٞ مُّخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٰنُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٞ

27. Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky then We bring forth therewith fruits of various colors? He has made streaks of various colors in the mountains, white, red, and intense black.

Versetto: 28

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلدَّوَآبِّ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ مُخۡتَلِفٌ أَلۡوَٰنُهُۥ كَذَٰلِكَۗ إِنَّمَا يَخۡشَى ٱللَّهَ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِ ٱلۡعُلَمَٰٓؤُاْۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ

28. And (He has also created) people, beasts and cattle of various colors. Only Allah's knowledgeable servants fear Him. Allah is All-Mighty, Most Forgiving.

Versetto: 29

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتۡلُونَ كِتَٰبَ ٱللَّهِ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ سِرّٗا وَعَلَانِيَةٗ يَرۡجُونَ تِجَٰرَةٗ لَّن تَبُورَ

29. Those who recite the Book of Allah (the Qur’an) and keep up the prayer and spend (for the Cause of Allah) out of what We have given them, secretly and openly, (they) hope for a bargain that will never fail.

Versetto: 30

لِيُوَفِّيَهُمۡ أُجُورَهُمۡ وَيَزِيدَهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ غَفُورٞ شَكُورٞ

30. So that He (Allah) may recompense them fully their rewards and give them more out of His bounty. Indeed, He is All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative.

Versetto: 31

وَٱلَّذِيٓ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ لَخَبِيرُۢ بَصِيرٞ

31. Whatever We have revealed to you (O Prophet Muhammad) of the Book (the Qur’an), that is the Truth confirming that which is before it¹⁰. Allah is All-Aware, Ever Seeing of His slaves (of mankind and jinn).

10. Of the Torah, the Psalms, the Gospel, etc.

Versetto: 32

ثُمَّ أَوۡرَثۡنَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصۡطَفَيۡنَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۖ فَمِنۡهُمۡ ظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ وَمِنۡهُم مُّقۡتَصِدٞ وَمِنۡهُمۡ سَابِقُۢ بِٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ

32. Then We caused to inherit the Book (the Qur’an) those whom We chose from among Our servants; of them is he who is unjust to himself¹¹, and of them is he who is moderate¹², and of them is he who excels through good deeds by the Permission of Allah. This is the Great Bounty.

11. Who mixes good deeds with evil ones.
12. Who fulfills the minimum requirements and avoids the forbidden acts.

Versetto: 33

جَنَّٰتُ عَدۡنٖ يَدۡخُلُونَهَا يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيهَا مِنۡ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٖ وَلُؤۡلُؤٗاۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمۡ فِيهَا حَرِيرٞ

33. Gardens of Eden, they will enter it; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be of silk.

Versetto: 34

وَقَالُواْ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَذۡهَبَ عَنَّا ٱلۡحَزَنَۖ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٞ شَكُورٌ

34. They will say: "(All) praise be to Allah, Who has removed from us (all) grief¹³. Our Lord (Allah) is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative,"

13. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to seek refuge in Allah from grief, anxiety, sorrow, disability, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, the burdens of debt, and the repression of men. He also used to seek refuge in Allah from doubt, associating partners with Allah, bias, anger, injustice, jealousy, the ills of the heart, reaching the age of second childhood - senile old age, and the torment of the grave.

Versetto: 35

ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحَلَّنَا دَارَ ٱلۡمُقَامَةِ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا نَصَبٞ وَلَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا لُغُوبٞ

35. He who has settled us in the everlasting home (Paradise) out of His bounty. Toil will not touch us therein, nor will fatigue therein afflict us.

Versetto: 36

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَهُمۡ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يُقۡضَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ فَيَمُوتُواْ وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنۡهُم مِّنۡ عَذَابِهَاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي كُلَّ كَفُورٖ

36. As for those who deny (the Truth of Islam), for them is the Fire of Gehinnom (the Hellfire); where they will neither be finished off by death, nor will the Torment thereof be lightened for them. Thus do We recompense every ungrateful one.

Versetto: 37

وَهُمۡ يَصۡطَرِخُونَ فِيهَا رَبَّنَآ أَخۡرِجۡنَا نَعۡمَلۡ صَٰلِحًا غَيۡرَ ٱلَّذِي كُنَّا نَعۡمَلُۚ أَوَلَمۡ نُعَمِّرۡكُم مَّا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَن تَذَكَّرَ وَجَآءَكُمُ ٱلنَّذِيرُۖ فَذُوقُواْ فَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ

37. They will cry therein for help (saying): "(O Allah) our Lord, take us out of here; we shall do righteous deeds other than those which we used to do. (They will be told): "Did We not grant you a life long enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition could receive it? And there came to you the warner (the Messenger of God); so taste (the result of your evil deeds); for the the unjust, there is no helper for them."

Versetto: 38

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَٰلِمُ غَيۡبِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

38. Allah is the Knower of the unseen of the heavens and the earth. He has full Knowledge of what is in the chests (of mankind).

Versetto: 39

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَكُمۡ خَلَٰٓئِفَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيۡهِ كُفۡرُهُۥۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ كُفۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ إِلَّا مَقۡتٗاۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ كُفۡرُهُمۡ إِلَّا خَسَارٗا

39. It is He (Allah) Who made you successors on earth. Whoever denies (the Truth of Islam), does so against his own self. The denial of the deniers will only increase the Anger of their Lord (Allah) and will only cause them greater loss.

Versetto: 40

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ شُرَكَآءَكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ لَهُمۡ شِرۡكٞ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ أَمۡ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ كِتَٰبٗا فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَتٖ مِّنۡهُۚ بَلۡ إِن يَعِدُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ بَعۡضُهُم بَعۡضًا إِلَّا غُرُورًا

40. Say: "Have you considered the idols which you worship besides Allah? Show me what part of the earth they have created, or have they any share in the heavens? or have We given them a Book so that they follow a clear Proof from it? No, rather, the unjust (the pagans) promise one another nothing but delusion.

Versetto: 41

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُمۡسِكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ أَن تَزُولَاۚ وَلَئِن زَالَتَآ إِنۡ أَمۡسَكَهُمَا مِنۡ أَحَدٖ مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورٗا

41. Allah keeps the heavens and the earth from vanishing. If they were to vanish, there is none who can uphold them other than Him. He is Most Forbearing, Most Forgiving.

Versetto: 42

وَأَقۡسَمُواْ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡ لَئِن جَآءَهُمۡ نَذِيرٞ لَّيَكُونُنَّ أَهۡدَىٰ مِنۡ إِحۡدَى ٱلۡأُمَمِۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مَّا زَادَهُمۡ إِلَّا نُفُورًا

42. They swore by Allah their most binding oaths, that if there came to them a warner they would be better guided than any of the (previous) nations. But when a warner (the Prophet Muhammad) came to them, it did not increase them except in aversion,

Versetto: 43

ٱسۡتِكۡبَارٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَكۡرَ ٱلسَّيِّيِٕۚ وَلَا يَحِيقُ ٱلۡمَكۡرُ ٱلسَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهۡلِهِۦۚ فَهَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا سُنَّتَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَۚ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَبۡدِيلٗاۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَحۡوِيلًا

43. (Due to their) behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil; but the evil plot does not encompass any except the plotters. Then do they wait for anything except the fate of the former people? For you shall not find any change in Allah's way of dealing; and you shall not find any alteration in Allah's way of dealing.

Versetto: 44

أَوَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَكَانُوٓاْ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُمۡ قُوَّةٗۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعۡجِزَهُۥ مِن شَيۡءٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَلِيمٗا قَدِيرٗا

44. Have they not traveled through the land and seen what was the end of those before them - they were more powerful than them? Allah is not such that anything in the heavens or in the earth escapes Him. He is All-Knowing, Most Powerful.

Versetto: 45

وَلَوۡ يُؤَاخِذُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُواْ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَىٰ ظَهۡرِهَا مِن دَآبَّةٖ وَلَٰكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِۦ بَصِيرَۢا

45. If Allah were to punish the people for what they earn (of sins) immediately, He would not leave on the back of it (the earth) any living creature, but He grants them respite for an appointed term. When their appointed time comes, then Allah is Ever-Seeing of His servants.
