أَلَمْ Do not alam you see tara that anna Allah l-laha created khalaqa the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍa in truth bil-ḥaqi If in He wills yasha He can remove you yudh'hib'kum and bring wayati a creation bikhalqin new jadīdin
Have you not seen [i.e., considered] that Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth? If He wills, He can do away with you and produce a new creation.
وَمَا And not wamā (is) that dhālika on ʿalā Allah l-lahi great biʿazīzin
And that is not difficult for Allāh.
وَبَرَزُوا۟ And they will come forth wabarazū before Allah lillahi all together jamīʿan then will say faqāla the weak l-ḍuʿafāu to those who lilladhīna were arrogant is'takbarū Indeed we innā we were kunnā your lakum followers tabaʿan so can fahal you (be) antum the one who avails mugh'nūna us ʿannā from min (the) punishment ʿadhābi (of) Allah l-lahi anything min anything shayin They will say qālū If law Allah had guided us hadānā Allah had guided us l-lahu surely we would have guided you lahadaynākum (It is) same sawāon for us ʿalaynā whether we show intolerance ajaziʿ'nā or am we are patient ṣabarnā not mā (is) for us lanā any min place of escape maḥīṣin
And they will come out [for judgement] before Allāh all together, and the weak will say to those who were arrogant, "Indeed, we were your followers, so can you avail us anything against the punishment of Allāh?" They will say, "If Allāh had guided us, we would have guided you. It is all the same for us whether we show intolerance or are patient: there is for us no place of escape."
وَقَالَ And will say waqāla the Shaitaan l-shayṭānu when lammā has been decided quḍiya the matter l-amru Indeed inna Allah l-laha promised you waʿadakum a promise waʿda (of) truth l-ḥaqi And I promised you wawaʿadttukum but I betrayed you fa-akhlaftukum But not wamā I had kāna I had liya over you ʿalaykum any min authority sul'ṭānin except illā that an I invited you daʿawtukum and you responded fa-is'tajabtum to me lī So (do) not falā blame me talūmūnī but blame walūmū yourselves anfusakum Not mā (can) I anā (be) your helper bimuṣ'rikhikum and not wamā you (can) antum (be) my helper bimuṣ'rikhiyya Indeed, I innī deny kafartu [of what] bimā your association of me (with Allah) ashraktumūni before min before qablu Indeed inna the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna for them lahum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
And Satan will say when the matter has been concluded, "Indeed, Allāh had promised you the promise of truth. And I promised you, but I betrayed you. But I had no authority over you except that I invited you, and you responded to me. So do not blame me; but blame yourselves. I cannot be called to your aid, nor can you be called to my aid. Indeed, I deny your association of me [with Allāh] before.1 Indeed, for the wrongdoers is a painful punishment."
وَأُدْخِلَ And will be admitted wa-ud'khila those who alladhīna believed āmanū and did waʿamilū righteous deeds l-ṣāliḥāti (to) Gardens jannātin flows tajrī from min underneath it taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru (will) abide forever khālidīna in it fīhā by the permission bi-idh'ni (of) their Lord rabbihim their greetings taḥiyyatuhum therein fīhā (will be) peace salāmun
And those who believed and did righteous deeds will be admitted to gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein by permission of their Lord; and their greeting therein will be, "Peace!"

Have you not considered how Allāh presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?
