We cause what We will to stay in the wombs until an appointed time, then We bring you forth as newborns, then (We develop you) so you may attain your maturity and strength. Some of you may then die, and others are brought back to the worst part of life, so that after having knowledge he does not know a thing. You see the earth barren, but when We send down upon it water, it stirs and swells, and produce every type of pleasant plant.

1. The origin of your creation, and Our ability and that Resurrection is not difficult for us than your creation.

11. Among the people is he who worships Allah on an edge (i.e., doubt), so if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflicts him he turns back headfirst (to denial and ingratitude). He loses this world as well as the Hereafter - that is the manifest loss.

وَأَصۡحَٰبُ مَدۡيَنَۖ وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰۖ فَأَمۡلَيۡتُ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذۡتُهُمۡۖ فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

44. As well as the people of Midian. Moses (too) was rejected. But I (Allah) gave respite to the deniers, then I seized them. How (terrible then) was My reproach.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 45

فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٞ فَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَبِئۡرٖ مُّعَطَّلَةٖ وَقَصۡرٖ مَّشِيدٍ

45. How many a town did We destroy while it was unjust, so it is (now) fallen into ruin - and (how many) trellises, high lofty mansions, and wells were deserted and palace built¹².

12. Are now abandoned and did not benefit their people in their final abode.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 46

أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٞ يَعۡقِلُونَ بِهَآ أَوۡ ءَاذَانٞ يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَاۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعۡمَى ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرُ وَلَٰكِن تَعۡمَى ٱلۡقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ

46. Have they not traveled through the land so that they should have hearts by which to understand, or ears by which to hear? For it is not the eyes that are blind, but blinded are the hearts within the chests.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 47

وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَكَ بِٱلۡعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخۡلِفَ ٱللَّهُ وَعۡدَهُۥۚ وَإِنَّ يَوۡمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلۡفِ سَنَةٖ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ

47. They ask you to bring upon them the torment without delay. Allah never disregards His Promise. A Day for (Allah) your Lord is as a thousand years for you.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 48

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ أَمۡلَيۡتُ لَهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٞ ثُمَّ أَخَذۡتُهَا وَإِلَيَّ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ

48. How many unjust towns did I (Allah) gave respite, then I seized it. To Me is the (final) return.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 49

قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ لَكُمۡ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ

49. Say (Muhammad): "People, I am only a plain warner to you¹³."

13. Warnings are statements or events that indicate a possible or impending problem or danger. Too often the most ignored warnings are those from God and his messenger Muhammad. God’s warnings and His prophet Muhammad are for our benefit – to help and guide us. The Prophet Muhammad warned against polytheism, sin, and evil. He also warned the people against false and hypocritical religious people and leaders. These warnings are for our safety, issued because of God’s great love for us. We are supposed to avoid sin as our sin separates us from Allah God, becoming a barrier to our fellowship with Him. The Prophet Muhammad warned us about the devil and the satanic strongholds that imprison us each day that we must be aware of. He warned us against becoming materialistic or letting things become more important than Allah. Allah created us to love people and use things, but a materialist loves things and uses people. The Prophet Muhammad warned us from the false preachers who are pretending that they are religious. Look what kind of message is these persons delivering. If you feel like any part of their message isn’t aligned with Allah’s message, they are a counterfeit and you need to be aware of it. We are warned against hypocritical judgment. We will all be judged by the same measure that we use. If we can’t apply this standard to our own lives, we can’t apply this standard to others. The Prophet Muhammad also warned us from pride. We must be humble in ourselves, as Allah opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

52. We did not send before you any messenger, nor prophet, but when he recited (the Message) Satan cast into it (some falsehood); but Allah annuls that which Satan casts, then Allah makes precise His revelations. Allah God is All-Knowing, All-Wise,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 53

لِّيَجۡعَلَ مَا يُلۡقِي ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَفِي شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٖ

53. So that He may make what Satan casts a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubt) and those whose hearts are hard (from their obstinateness to the Truth of Islam). The workers of iniquity are in extreme dissension. 

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 54

وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَيُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهِۦ فَتُخۡبِتَ لَهُۥ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ

54. And so that those who have been given the (right) knowledge may know that it is the Truth from your Lord (Allah) and believe it, and their hearts may humbly submit to it. For Allah is certainly the One Who guides those who believe to a Straight Path.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 55

وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي مِرۡيَةٖ مِّنۡهُ حَتَّىٰ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةً أَوۡ يَأۡتِيَهُمۡ عَذَابُ يَوۡمٍ عَقِيمٍ

60. That is so. He who retaliates with the like of that with which he has been afflicted and then has been wronged, Allah will certainly aid him. Allah God is Pardoning (of sins), All-Forgiving.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 61

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٞ

61. Allah causes the night to merge into the day and causes the day to merge into the night. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 62

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ هُوَ ٱلۡبَٰطِلُ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيُّ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ

71. Yet they worship besides Allah that for which He has not sent any Authority, and that of which they have no (Divine) knowledge. The workers of iniquity will have no helper (nor intercessor).

15. Than the rage you feel against the believers.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 73

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٞ فَٱسۡتَمِعُواْ لَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخۡلُقُواْ ذُبَابٗا وَلَوِ ٱجۡتَمَعُواْ لَهُۥۖ وَإِن يَسۡلُبۡهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيۡـٔٗا لَّا يَسۡتَنقِذُوهُ مِنۡهُۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلۡمَطۡلُوبُ

73. People, an example is set forth, so listen to it: Those whom you invoke instead of Allah cannot create (even) a fly, though they should all gather to do it.

76. He knows what is before them and what is behind them. To Allah God are all affairs returned back (for decision).

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 77

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱرۡكَعُواْ وَٱسۡجُدُواْۤ وَٱعۡبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمۡ وَٱفۡعَلُواْ ٱلۡخَيۡرَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ۩

78. Strive hard in (the Way of) Allah, (such) a striving that is due to Him. He has chosen you and has not laid upon you any hardship in religion (Islam, it is) the Faith (and way of life) of your father Abraham. He (Allah) named you Muslims before (in previous Scriptures) and in this (Qur’an), that the messenger (Muhammad) may be a bearer of witness over you, and that you (Muslims) may be witnesses over the people. Be steadfast in your prayer and pay the poor-rate and hold fast to Allah; He is your Patron, how Excellent the Patron, and how Excellent the Helper.
