وَلِكُلٍّۢ And for all walikullin (will be) degrees darajātun for what mimmā they did ʿamilū And not wamā (is) your Lord rabbuka unaware bighāfilin about what ʿammā they do yaʿmalūna
And for all are degrees [i.e., positions resulting] from what they have done. And your Lord is not unaware of what they do.
وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord warabbuka (is) the Self-Sufficient l-ghaniyu (the) Possessor dhū (of) mercy l-raḥmati If in He wills yasha He can take you away yudh'hib'kum and grant succession wayastakhlif from min after you baʿdikum (to) whom mā He wills yashāu as kamā He raised you ansha-akum from min the descendants dhurriyyati (of) people qawmin other ākharīna
And your Lord is the Free of need, the possessor of mercy. If He wills, He can do away with you and give succession after you to whomever He wills, just as He produced you from the descendants of another people.
إِنَّ Indeed inna what mā you are promised tūʿadūna (is) sure to come laātin And not wamā (can) you antum escape (it) bimuʿ'jizīna
Indeed, what you are promised is coming, and you will not cause failure [to Allāh].1
قُلْ Say qul O my people yāqawmi Work iʿ'malū on ʿalā your position makānatikum Indeed, I am innī a worker ʿāmilun And soon fasawfa you will know taʿlamūna who man will have takūnu for himself lahu (in) the end ʿāqibatu (a good) home l-dāri Indeed [he] innahu (will) not lā succeed yuf'liḥu the wrongdoers l-ẓālimūna
Say, "O my people, work according to your position; [for] indeed, I am working. And you are going to know who will have succession in the home.1 Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed."
وَجَعَلُوا۟ And they assign wajaʿalū to Allah lillahi out of what mimmā He produced dhara-a of mina the crops l-ḥarthi and the cattle wal-anʿāmi a share naṣīban and they say faqālū This hādhā (is) for Allah lillahi by their claim bizaʿmihim And this wahādhā (is) for our partners lishurakāinā But what famā is kāna for their partners lishurakāihim (does) not falā reach yaṣilu [to] ilā Allah l-lahi while what wamā is kāna for Allah lillahi then it fahuwa reaches yaṣilu [to] ilā their partners shurakāihim Evil sāa (is) what mā they judge yaḥkumūna
And they [i.e., the polytheists] assign to Allāh from that which He created of crops and livestock a share and say, "This is for Allāh," by their claim, "and this is for our 'partners' [associated with Him]." But what is for their "partners" does not reach Allāh, while what is for Allāh - this reaches their "partners." Evil is that which they rule.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ And likewise wakadhālika made pleasing zayyana to many likathīrin of mina the polytheists l-mush'rikīna (the) killing qatla (of) their children awlādihim their partners shurakāuhum so that they may ruin them liyur'dūhum and that they make confusing waliyalbisū to them ʿalayhim their religion dīnahum And if walaw (had) willed shāa Allah l-lahu not mā (would) they have done so faʿalūhu So leave them fadharhum and what wamā they invent yaftarūna
And likewise, to many of the polytheists their partners1 have made [to seem] pleasing the killing of their children in order to bring about their destruction and to cover them with confusion in their religion. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them and that which they invent.
