۞ إِلَيْهِ
يُرَدُّ
عِلْمُ
ٱلسَّاعَةِ ۚ
وَمَا
تَخْرُجُ
مِن
ثَمَرَٰتٍۢ
مِّنْ
أَكْمَامِهَا
وَمَا
تَحْمِلُ
مِنْ
أُنثَىٰ
وَلَا
تَضَعُ
إِلَّا
بِعِلْمِهِۦ ۚ
وَيَوْمَ
يُنَادِيهِمْ
أَيْنَ
شُرَكَآءِى
قَالُوٓا۟
ءَاذَنَّـٰكَ
مَا
مِنَّا
مِن
شَهِيدٍۢ
ﱠ
Knowledge of the Hour belongs solely to Him and no crop comes out of its sheath, nor does any female conceive or give birth, without His knowledge. On the Day He asks them, ‘Where are My partners?’ they will answer, ‘We admit to You that none of us can see [them]’:

عَنْهُم
مَّا
كَانُوا۟
يَدْعُونَ
مِن

مَّسَّهُ
ٱلشَّرُّ
فَيَـُٔوسٌۭ
قَنُوطٌۭ
ﱺ
Man never tires of asking for good, but if evil touches him he loses all hope and becomes despondent.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

41:50
وَلَئِنْ
أَذَقْنَـٰهُ
رَحْمَةًۭ
مِّنَّا
مِنۢ
بَعْدِ
ضَرَّآءَ
مَسَّتْهُ

لِى
وَمَآ
أَظُنُّ
ٱلسَّاعَةَ
قَآئِمَةًۭ
وَلَئِن
رُّجِعْتُ
إِلَىٰ
رَبِّىٓ
إِنَّ
لِى
عِندَهُۥ
لَلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ
فَلَنُنَبِّئَنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ

بِمَا
عَمِلُوا۟
وَلَنُذِيقَنَّهُم
مِّنْ
عَذَابٍ

Whenever We let him taste some of Our mercy after he has been afflicted, he is sure to say, ‘This is all my own doing: I do not think the Hour will ever come, but even if I were to be taken back to my Lord, the best reward would await me with Him.’ We shall most certainly inform the disbelievers of what they have done and give them a taste of severe torment.

وَإِذَآ
أَنْعَمْنَا
عَلَى
ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ

وَإِذَا
مَسَّهُ
ٱلشَّرُّ
فَذُو
دُعَآءٍ
عَرِيضٍۢ
ﲪ
Whenever We are gracious to man, he goes away haughtily, but, as soon as evil touches him, he turns to prolonged prayer.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

41:52
قُلْ
أَرَءَيْتُمْ
إِن
كَانَ
مِنْ
عِندِ
ٱللَّهِ
ثُمَّ
كَفَرْتُم
بِهِۦ
مَنْ
أَضَلُّ
مِمَّنْ
هُوَ
فِى
شِقَاقٍۭ
بَعِيدٍۢ
ﲼ
Say [Prophet], ‘Have you ever thought, what if this revelation really is from God and you still reject it? Who could be more astray than someone who cuts himself off so far [from God]?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

41:53
سَنُرِيهِمْ
ءَايَـٰتِنَا
فِى
ٱلْـَٔافَاقِ
وَفِىٓ
أَنفُسِهِمْ
حَتَّىٰ
يَتَبَيَّنَ
لَهُمْ
أَنَّهُ
ٱلْحَقُّ ۗ
أَوَلَمْ
يَكْفِ
بِرَبِّكَ
أَنَّهُۥ
عَلَىٰ
كُلِّ
شَىْءٍۢ
شَهِيدٌ
ﳑ
We shall show them Our signs in every region of the earth and in themselves, until it becomes clear to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that your Lord witnesses everything?

أَلَآ
إِنَّهُمْ
فِى
مِرْيَةٍۢ
مِّن
لِّقَآءِ
رَبِّهِمْ ۗ
أَلَآ
إِنَّهُۥ
بِكُلِّ
شَىْءٍۢ
مُّحِيطٌۢ

This is how God, the Mighty, the Wise, sends revelation to you [Prophet] as He did to those before you.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

42:4
لَهُۥ
مَا
فِى
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَمَا

تَكَادُ
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ
يَتَفَطَّرْنَ
مِن
فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ
وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ
يُسَبِّحُونَ
بِحَمْدِ
رَبِّهِمْ
وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
لِمَن

أَلَآ
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
هُوَ
ٱلْغَفُورُ
ٱلرَّحِيمُ
ﱱ
The heavens are almost broken apart from above as the angels proclaim the praises of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. God is indeed the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

42:6
وَٱلَّذِينَ
ٱتَّخَذُوا۟
مِن
دُونِهِۦٓ
أَوْلِيَآءَ

As for those who take protectors other than Him, God is watching them; you are not responsible for them.

أَوْحَيْنَآ
إِلَيْكَ
قُرْءَانًا
عَرَبِيًّۭا

فِيهِ ۚ
فَرِيقٌۭ

وَفَرِيقٌۭ
فِى
ٱلسَّعِيرِ
ﲖ
So We have revealed an Arabic Quran to you, in order that you may warn the capital city and all who live nearby. And warn [especially] about the Day of Gathering, of which there is no doubt, when some shall be in the Garden and some in the blazing Flame.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

42:8
وَلَوْ
شَآءَ
ٱللَّهُ
لَجَعَلَهُمْ
أُمَّةًۭ
وَٰحِدَةًۭ
وَلَـٰكِن
يُدْخِلُ
مَن
يَشَآءُ
فِى
رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۚ
وَٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
مَا
لَهُم
مِّن
وَلِىٍّۢ
وَلَا
نَصِيرٍ
ﲫ
If God had so pleased, He could have made them a single community, but He admits to His mercy whoever He will; the evildoers will have no one to protect or help them.

أَمِ
ٱتَّخَذُوا۟
مِن
دُونِهِۦٓ
أَوْلِيَآءَ ۖ
فَٱللَّهُ
هُوَ
ٱلْوَلِىُّ
وَهُوَ
يُحْىِ
ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
وَهُوَ
عَلَىٰ

فِيهِ
مِن
شَىْءٍۢ
فَحُكْمُهُۥٓ
إِلَى
ٱللَّهِ ۚ

Whatever you may differ about is for God to judge. [Say], ‘Such is God, my Lord. In Him I trust and to Him I turn,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

فَاطِرُ
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ

مِّنْ
أَنفُسِكُمْ

وَهُوَ
ٱلسَّمِيعُ
ٱلْبَصِيرُ

the Creator of the heavens and earth.’ He made mates for you from among yourselves––and for the animals too––so that you may multiply. There is nothing like Him: He is the All Hearing, the All Seeing.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

42:12
لَهُۥ
مَقَالِيدُ
ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ
يَبْسُطُ
ٱلرِّزْقَ
لِمَن
يَشَآءُ
وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ
إِنَّهُۥ
بِكُلِّ
شَىْءٍ
عَلِيمٌۭ
ﱧ
The keys of the heavens and the earth are His; He provides abundantly or sparingly for whoever He will; He has full knowledge of all things.
