ذَرۡنِي وَمَنۡ خَلَقۡتُ وَحِيدٗا

11. Leave to Me alone (O Muhammad) and the one whom I created 'bare and' alone7,

25. This is not but the word of a human being."

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 26

سَأُصۡلِيهِ سَقَرَ

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ

31. We have appointed only angels to be the wardens of the Fire, and We have specified their number only as a trial for the pagans and that those (Jews and Nazarenes) who have been given the Scripture may be certain and the believers may increase in Faith, and those who have been given the Scripture and the believers may not be in doubt, and so that those in whose hearts is a sickness (of hypocrisy) and the pagans may say: "What does Allāh mean by this example?" Thus does Allāh 'justly' leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. No one knows the hosts of 'Allāh' your Lord except Him. And it is not but a reminder to the human beings.

نَذِيرٗا لِّلۡبَشَرِ

36. A warning to humankind,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 37

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 40

فِي جَنَّٰتٖ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 46

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

46. And we used to deny the Day of (Judgment and) Recompense,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 47

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلۡيَقِينُ

47. Until there came to us the certainty (of death).

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 48

فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمۡ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ

كَأَنَّهُمۡ حُمُرٞ مُّسۡتَنفِرَةٞ

50. As if they were frightened zebras.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 51

فَرَّتۡ مِن قَسۡوَرَةِۭ

51. Fleeing from a lion14?

14. If you refuse good advice, you are asking for trouble; follow it and you are safe. The teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah are a fountain of life. Be good and trusted, as those who can't be trusted are on the road to ruin. Bad people are destroyed by their rejection of faith. But whoever obeys Allāh and His messenger Muhammad will have security, and will be safe, with no reason to be afraid. If you obey the majority of those who live on earth, they will lead you away from God's path. They only follow idle fancies, indulging in conjecture.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 52

بَلۡ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أَن يُؤۡتَىٰ صُحُفٗا مُّنَشَّرَةٗ

54. No, it (this Qur’an) is indeed a Reminder.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 55

فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

55. So whoever wills will remember it.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 56

وَمَا يَذۡكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ هُوَ أَهۡلُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ وَأَهۡلُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِ

56. But they will not remember unless Allāh so wills. He 'alone' is worthy to be feared, and worthy to forgive.
