And We gave them clear proofs of the matter [of religion]. And they did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. Indeed, your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allāh has sent him astray due to knowledge1 and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after Allāh? Then will you not be reminded?
وَقَالُوا۟ And they say waqālū Not mā it hiya (is) but illā our life ḥayātunā (of) the world l-dun'yā we die namūtu and we live wanaḥyā and not wamā destroys us yuh'likunā except illā the time l-dahru And not wamā for them lahum of that bidhālika any min knowledge ʿil'min not in they hum (do) but illā guess yaẓunnūna
And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live,1 and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.

Say, "Allāh causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know."

And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told], "Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.

So as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is what is the clear attainment.
وَأَمَّا But as for wa-ammā those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū Then were not afalam Then were not takun My Verses āyātī recited tut'lā to you ʿalaykum but you were proud fa-is'takbartum and you became wakuntum a people qawman criminals muj'rimīna
But as for those who disbelieved, [it will be said], "Were not Our verses recited to you, but you were arrogant and became a criminal people?
وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā it was said qīla Indeed inna (the) Promise waʿda (of) Allah l-lahi (is) true ḥaqqun and the Hour wal-sāʿatu (there is) no lā doubt rayba about it fīhā you said qul'tum Not mā we know nadrī what mā the Hour (is) l-sāʿatu Not in we think naẓunnu except illā an assumption ẓannan and not wamā we naḥnu (are) convinced bimus'tayqinīna
And when it was said, 'Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth and the Hour [is coming] - no doubt about it,' you said, 'We know not what is the Hour. We assume only assumption, and we are not convinced.'"
وَبَدَا And (will) appear wabadā to them lahum (the) evil sayyiātu (of) what mā they did ʿamilū and (will) envelop waḥāqa them bihim what mā they used kānū [at it] bihi (to) mock yastahziūna
And the evil consequences of what they did will appear to them, and they will be enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
وَقِيلَ And it will be said waqīla Today l-yawma We forget you nansākum as kamā you forgot nasītum (the) meeting liqāa (of) this Day of yours yawmikum (of) this Day of yours hādhā and your abode wamawākumu (is) the Fire l-nāru and not wamā for you lakum any min helpers nāṣirīna
And it will be said, "Today We will forget you as you forgot the meeting of this Day of yours, and your refuge is the Fire, and for you there are no helpers.
ذَٰلِكُم That dhālikum (is) because you bi-annakumu took ittakhadhtum (the) Verses āyāti (of) Allah l-lahi (in) ridicule huzuwan and deceived you wagharratkumu the life l-ḥayatu (of) the world l-dun'yā So this Day fal-yawma not lā they will be brought forth yukh'rajūna from it min'hā and not walā they hum will be asked to appease yus'taʿtabūna
That is because you took the verses of Allāh in ridicule, and worldly life deluded you." So that Day they will not be removed from it, nor will they be asked to appease [Allāh].
فَلِلَّهِ Then for Allah falillahi (is) all the praise l-ḥamdu (the) Lord rabbi (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and (the) Lord warabbi (of) the earth l-arḍi (the) lord rabbi (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
