(23) They are not but [mere] names you have named them - you and your forefathers - for which Allāh has sent down no authority. They follow not except assumption and what [their] souls desire, and there has already come to them from their Lord guidance.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 24

أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ

(26) And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except [only] after Allāh has permitted [it] to whom He wills and approves.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 27

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ تَسۡمِيَةَ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

(27) Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter name the angels female names,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 28

وَمَا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍۖ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّۖ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـٔٗا

(28) And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not against the truth at all.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 29

فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّىٰ عَن ذِكۡرِنَا وَلَمۡ يُرِدۡ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

(29) So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 30

ذَٰلِكَ مَبۡلَغُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ

(30) That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 31

وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَى

(31) And to Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward] -

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 32

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِۚ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ إِذۡ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِذۡ أَنتُمۡ أَجِنَّةٞ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ

(32) Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 33

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰ

(33) Have you seen the one who turned away

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 34

وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلٗا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓ

(34) And gave a little and [then] refrained?

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 35

أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ

(35) Does he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees?^[1571]

[1571]- Knows that his provision will be exhausted if he spends on the poor, while Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) has promised otherwise.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 36

أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰ

(36) Or has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓ

(37) And [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations] -

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 38

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰ

(38) That no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 39

وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ

(39) And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰ

(40) And that his effort is going to be seen -

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 41

ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰ

(41) Then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense -

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 42

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

(42) And that to your Lord is the finality

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 43

وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰ

(43) And that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 44

وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ

(45) And that He creates the two mates - the male and female -

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 46

مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰ
