Wa lawit taba'al haqqu ahwaaa'ahum lafasadatis samaawaatu wal ardu wa man feehinnn; bal atainaahum bizikrihim fahum 'an zikrihim mu'ridon
But if the Truth [i.e., Allah] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message, but they, from their message, are turning away.
Am tas'aluhum kharjan fakharaaju Rabbika khairunw wa Huwa khairur raaziqeen
Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.
Wa innaka latad'oohum ilaa Siraatim Mustaqeem
And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.
Wa innnal lazeena laa yu'minoona bil Aakhirati 'anis siraati lanaakiboon
But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.
Wa law rahimnaahum wa kashafnaa maa bihim min durril lalajjoo fee tughyaanihim ya'mahoon
And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.
Wa laqad akhaznaahum bil'azaabi famastakaanoo li Rabbihim wa maa yatadarra'oon
And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]
Hattaaa izaa fatahnaa 'alaihim baaban zaa 'azaabin shadeedin izaa hum feehi mublisoon
Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.
Wa Huwal lazeee ansha a-lakumus sam'a wal absaara wal af'idah; qaleelam maa tashkuroon
And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.
Wa Huwal lazee zara akum fil ardi wa ilaihi tuhsharoon
And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.
Wa Huwal lazee yuhyee wa yumeetu wa lahukh tilaaful laili wannahaar; afalaa ta'qiloon
And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?
