وَإِنَّ
لَكَ
لَأَجْرًا
غَيْرَ
مَمْنُونٍۢ
ﲊ
you will have a never-ending reward––
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

وَإِنَّكَ
لَعَلَىٰ
خُلُقٍ
عَظِيمٍۢ
ﲏ
truly you have a strong character––
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

بِأَييِّكُمُ
ٱلْمَفْتُونُ
ﲕ
which of you is afflicted with madness.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

إِنَّ
رَبَّكَ
هُوَ
أَعْلَمُ
بِمَن
ضَلَّ
عَن
سَبِيلِهِۦ
وَهُوَ
أَعْلَمُ
بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ

وَدُّوا۟
لَوْ
تُدْهِنُ
فَيُدْهِنُونَ

they want you to compromise with them and then they will compromise with you––

تُطِعْ
كُلَّ
حَلَّافٍۢ
مَّهِينٍ
ﲰ
do not yield to any contemptible swearer,
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:11
هَمَّازٍۢ
مَّشَّآءٍۭ
بِنَمِيمٍۢ
ﲴ
to any backbiter, slander-monger,
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:12
مَّنَّاعٍۢ
لِّلْخَيْرِ
مُعْتَدٍ
أَثِيمٍ

or hinderer of good, to anyone who is sinful, aggressive,
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:13
عُتُلٍّۭ
بَعْدَ
ذَٰلِكَ
زَنِيمٍ
ﲾ
coarse, and on top of all that, an imposter.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

أَن
كَانَ
ذَا
مَالٍۢ
وَبَنِينَ
ﳄ
Just because he has wealth and sons,
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:15
إِذَا
تُتْلَىٰ
عَلَيْهِ
ءَايَـٰتُنَا
قَالَ
أَسَـٰطِيرُ
ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
ﳌ
when our revelations are recited to him, he says, ‘These are just ancient fables.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:16
سَنَسِمُهُۥ
عَلَى
ٱلْخُرْطُومِ
ﳐ
We shall brand him on the snout!
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:17
إِنَّا
بَلَوْنَـٰهُمْ
كَمَا
بَلَوْنَآ
أَصْحَـٰبَ
ٱلْجَنَّةِ
إِذْ
أَقْسَمُوا۟
لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا
مُصْبِحِينَ
ﱋ
We have tried them as We tried the owners of a certain garden, who swore that they would harvest its fruits in the morning
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:18
وَلَا
يَسْتَثْنُونَ
ﱎ
and made no allowance [for the Will of God]:
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
68:19
فَطَافَ
عَلَيْهَا
طَآئِفٌۭ
مِّن
رَّبِّكَ
وَهُمْ
نَآئِمُونَ
ﱖ
a disaster from your Lord struck the garden as they slept

فَأَصْبَحَتْ
كَٱلصَّرِيمِ
ﱙ
and by morning it was stripped bare, a desolate land.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
