قُلْ Say qul Have you seen ara-aytakum if in (there) came to you atākum punishment ʿadhābu (of) Allah l-lahi or aw (there) came to you atatkumu the Hour l-sāʿatu is it other aghayra (than) Allah l-lahi you call tadʿūna if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
Say, "Have you considered: if there came to you the punishment of Allāh or there came to you the Hour - is it other than Allāh you would invoke, if you should be truthful?"
بَلْ Nay bal Him Alone iyyāhu you call tadʿūna and He would remove fayakshifu what mā you call tadʿūna upon Him ilayhi if in He wills shāa and you will forget watansawna what mā you associate (with Him) tush'rikūna
No, it is Him [alone] you would invoke, and He would remove that for which you invoked Him if He willed, and you would forget what you associate [with Him].
وَلَقَدْ And certainly walaqad We sent (Messengers) arsalnā to ilā nations umamin from min before you qablika then We seized them fa-akhadhnāhum with adversity bil-basāi and hardship wal-ḍarāi so that they may laʿallahum humble themselves yataḍarraʿūna
And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muḥammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us].
فَلَوْلَآ Then why not falawlā when idh came to them jāahum Our punishment basunā they humbled themselves taḍarraʿū But walākin became hardened qasat their hearts qulūbuhum and made fair-seeming wazayyana to them lahumu the Shaitaan l-shayṭānu what mā they used to kānū do yaʿmalūna
Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.
فَلَمَّا So when falammā they forgot nasū what mā they were reminded dhukkirū of [it] bihi We opened fataḥnā on them ʿalayhim gates abwāba (of) every kulli thing shayin until ḥattā when idhā they rejoiced fariḥū in what bimā they were given ūtū We seized them akhadhnāhum suddenly baghtatan and then fa-idhā they hum (were) dumbfounded mub'lisūna
So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair.
فَقُطِعَ So was cut off faquṭiʿa (the) remnant dābiru (of) the people l-qawmi [those] who alladhīna did wrong ẓalamū And all praises and thanks wal-ḥamdu (be) to Allah lillahi Lord rabbi (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
So the people that committed wrong were eliminated. And praise to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
