وَقَالَ And said waqāla those who alladhīna associate partners (with Allah) ashrakū If law Allah (had) willed shāa Allah (had) willed l-lahu not mā we (would) have worshipped ʿabadnā other than Him min other than Him dūnihi any min thing shayin we naḥnu and not walā our forefathers ābāunā and not walā we (would) have forbidden ḥarramnā other than Him min other than Him dūnihi anything min anything shayin Thus kadhālika did faʿala those who alladhīna (were) before them min (were) before them qablihim Then is (there) fahal on ʿalā the messengers l-rusuli except illā the conveyance l-balāghu clear l-mubīnu
And those who associate others with Allāh say, "If Allāh had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?
وَلَقَدْ And certainly walaqad We sent baʿathnā into fī every kulli nation ummatin a Messenger rasūlan that ani Worship uʿ'budū Allah l-laha and avoid wa-ij'tanibū the false deities l-ṭāghūta Then among them famin'hum (were some) whom man Allah guided hadā Allah guided l-lahu and among them wamin'hum (were) some man was justified ḥaqqat on them ʿalayhi the straying l-ḍalālatu So travel fasīrū in fī the earth l-arḍi and see fa-unẓurū how kayfa was kāna the end ʿāqibatu (of) the deniers l-mukadhibīna
And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allāh and avoid ṭāghūt."1 And among them were those whom Allāh guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed [i.e., travel] through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.
إِن If in you desire taḥriṣ [for] ʿalā their guidance hudāhum then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha (will) not lā guide yahdī whom man He lets go astray yuḍillu and not (are) wamā for them lahum any min helpers nāṣirīna
[Even] if you should strive for their guidance, [O Muḥammad], indeed, Allāh does not guide those He sends astray,1 and they will have no helpers.
وَأَقْسَمُوا۟ And they swear wa-aqsamū by Allah bil-lahi strongest jahda (of) their oaths aymānihim Allah will not resurrect lā Allah will not resurrect yabʿathu Allah will not resurrect l-lahu (one) who man dies yamūtu Nay balā (it is) a promise waʿdan upon Him ʿalayhi (in) truth ḥaqqan but walākinna most akthara (of) the mankind l-nāsi (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
And they swear by Allāh their strongest oaths [that] Allāh will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.
لِيُبَيِّنَ That He will make clear liyubayyina to them lahumu that alladhī they differ yakhtalifūna wherein fīhi and that may know waliyaʿlama those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū that they annahum were kānū liars kādhibīna
[It is] so He will make clear to them [the truth of] that wherein they differ and so those who have disbelieved may know that they were liars.
إِنَّمَا Only innamā Our Word qawlunā to a thing lishayin when idhā We intend it aradnāhu (is) that an We say naqūla to it lahu Be kun and it is fayakūnu
Indeed, Our word to a thing when We intend it is but that We say to it, "Be," and it is.
وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who wa-alladhīna emigrated hājarū in (the way) fī (of) Allah l-lahi after min after baʿdi [what] mā they were wronged ẓulimū surely We will give them position lanubawwi-annahum in fī the world l-dun'yā good ḥasanatan but surely the reward wala-ajru (of) the Hereafter l-ākhirati (is) greater akbaru if law they kānū know yaʿlamūna
And those who emigrated for [the cause of] Allāh after they had been wronged - We will surely settle them in this world in a good place; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they could know.
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna (are) patient ṣabarū and on waʿalā their Lord rabbihim they put their trust yatawakkalūna
[They are] those who endured patiently and upon their Lord relied.
