۞ فَمَنْ
أَظْلَمُ
مِمَّن
كَذَبَ
عَلَى
ٱللَّهِ
وَكَذَّبَ
بِٱلصِّدْقِ
إِذْ
جَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ

فِى
جَهَنَّمَ
مَثْوًۭى
لِّلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

So who could be more wrong than the person who invents a lie about God and rejects the truth when it comes to him? Is there not ample punishment for the disbelievers in Hell?

وَٱلَّذِى
جَآءَ
بِٱلصِّدْقِ
وَصَدَّقَ
بِهِۦٓ ۙ
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ
هُمُ
ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ
ﱛ
It is the one who brings the truth and the one who accepts it as true who are mindful of God:

مَّا
يَشَآءُونَ
عِندَ
رَبِّهِمْ ۚ
ذَٰلِكَ
جَزَآءُ
ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

they will have everything they wish for with their Lord. Such is the reward of those who do good:

لِيُكَفِّرَ
ٱللَّهُ
عَنْهُمْ
أَسْوَأَ
ٱلَّذِى
عَمِلُوا۟
وَيَجْزِيَهُمْ
أَجْرَهُم
بِأَحْسَنِ
ٱلَّذِى
كَانُوا۟
يَعْمَلُونَ
ﱲ
God will absolve them even of their worst deeds and will reward them according to their best.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

39:36
أَلَيْسَ
ٱللَّهُ
بِكَافٍ
عَبْدَهُۥ ۖ
وَيُخَوِّفُونَكَ
بِٱلَّذِينَ
مِن
دُونِهِۦ ۚ
وَمَن

ٱللَّهُ
فَمَا
لَهُۥ
مِنْ
هَادٍۢ
ﲄ
Is God not enough for His servant? Yet they threaten you [Prophet] with those they worship other than Him. If God allows someone to stray he has no one to guide him;

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

39:37
وَمَن
يَهْدِ
ٱللَّهُ
فَمَا
لَهُۥ
مِن
مُّضِلٍّ ۗ
أَلَيْسَ
ٱللَّهُ
بِعَزِيزٍۢ
ذِى
ٱنتِقَامٍۢ

سَأَلْتَهُم
مَّنْ
خَلَقَ
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضَ
لَيَقُولُنَّ
ٱللَّهُ ۚ
قُلْ
أَفَرَءَيْتُم
مَّا
تَدْعُونَ
مِن
دُونِ
ٱللَّهِ
إِنْ
أَرَادَنِىَ
ٱللَّهُ
بِضُرٍّ
هَلْ
هُنَّ
كَـٰشِفَـٰتُ
ضُرِّهِۦٓ
أَوْ
أَرَادَنِى
بِرَحْمَةٍ
هَلْ
هُنَّ
مُمْسِكَـٰتُ
رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ
قُلْ
حَسْبِىَ
ٱللَّهُ ۖ
عَلَيْهِ
يَتَوَكَّلُ
ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ
ﲺ
If you [Prophet] ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and earth?’ they are sure to answer, ‘God,’ so say, ‘Consider those you invoke beside Him: if God wished to harm me, could they undo that harm? If God wished to show me mercy, could they withhold that mercy?’ Say, ‘God is enough for me: all those who trust should put their trust in Him.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

يَـٰقَوْمِ
ٱعْمَلُوا۟

عَذَابٌۭ
مُّقِيمٌ
ﳎ
who will suffer humiliation, and on whom a lasting torment will descend.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

39:41
إِنَّآ
أَنزَلْنَا
عَلَيْكَ
ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ
لِلنَّاسِ
بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ
فَمَنِ
ٱهْتَدَىٰ
فَلِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ
وَمَن
ضَلَّ
فَإِنَّمَا
يَضِلُّ
عَلَيْهَا ۖ
وَمَآ
أَنتَ
عَلَيْهِم
بِوَكِيلٍ
ﱖ
We have sent the Scripture down to you [Prophet] with the Truth for people. Whoever follows the guidance does so for his own benefit, whoever strays away from it does so at his own peril: you are not in charge of them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

39:42
ٱللَّهُ
يَتَوَفَّى
ٱلْأَنفُسَ
حِينَ
مَوْتِهَا
وَٱلَّتِى
لَمْ
تَمُتْ
فِى
مَنَامِهَا ۖ

لَـَٔايَـٰتٍۢ
لِّقَوْمٍۢ
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

أَمِ
ٱتَّخَذُوا۟
مِن
دُونِ
ٱللَّهِ
شُفَعَآءَ ۚ
قُلْ
أَوَلَوْ
كَانُوا۟
لَا
يَمْلِكُونَ
شَيْـًۭٔا
وَلَا
يَعْقِلُونَ
ﲃ
Yet they take intercessors besides God! Say, ‘Even though these have no power or understanding?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

قُل
لِّلَّهِ
ٱلشَّفَـٰعَةُ
جَمِيعًۭا ۖ
لَّهُۥ

ٱللَّهُ
وَحْدَهُ
ٱشْمَأَزَّتْ
قُلُوبُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
لَا
يُؤْمِنُونَ
بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ
وَإِذَا
ذُكِرَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
مِن
دُونِهِۦٓ
إِذَا
هُمْ
يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
ﲥ
Whenever God is mentioned on His own, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but they rejoice when gods other than Him are mentioned.

فَاطِرَ
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ
عَـٰلِمَ
ٱلْغَيْبِ
وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ
أَنتَ
تَحْكُمُ
بَيْنَ
عِبَادِكَ
فِى
مَا
كَانُوا۟
فِيهِ
يَخْتَلِفُونَ

أَنَّ
لِلَّذِينَ
ظَلَمُوا۟
مَا
فِى
ٱلْأَرْضِ
جَمِيعًۭا
وَمِثْلَهُۥ

مِن
سُوٓءِ
ٱلْعَذَابِ
يَوْمَ
ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ

مَا
لَمْ
يَكُونُوا۟
يَحْتَسِبُونَ

لَهُمْ
سَيِّـَٔاتُ

بِهِم
مَّا
كَانُوا۟
بِهِۦ
يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

خَوَّلْنَـٰهُ
نِعْمَةًۭ
مِّنَّا
قَالَ
إِنَّمَآ
أُوتِيتُهُۥ
عَلَىٰ
عِلْمٍۭ ۚ

أَكْثَرَهُمْ
لَا
يَعْلَمُونَ

قَدْ
قَالَهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِهِمْ

أَغْنَىٰ
عَنْهُم
مَّا
كَانُوا۟
يَكْسِبُونَ

فَأَصَابَهُمْ
سَيِّـَٔاتُ
مَا
كَسَبُوا۟ ۚ
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ظَلَمُوا۟
مِنْ
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
سَيُصِيبُهُمْ
سَيِّـَٔاتُ
مَا
كَسَبُوا۟
وَمَا
هُم
بِمُعْجِزِينَ
ﲁ
