أُولـٰئِكَ يُسارِعونَ فِي الخَيراتِ وَهُم لَها سابِقونَ
It is those who hasten to good deeds, and they outstrip [others] therein.
وَلا نُكَلِّفُ نَفسًا إِلّا وُسعَها ۖ وَلَدَينا كِتابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالحَقِّ ۚ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ
And We charge no soul except [with that within] its capacity, and with Us is a record which speaks with truth; and they will not be wronged.
بَل قُلوبُهُم في غَمرَةٍ مِن هـٰذا وَلَهُم أَعمالٌ مِن دونِ ذٰلِكَ هُم لَها عامِلونَ
But their hearts are covered with confusion over this, and they have [evil] deeds besides disbelief which they are doing,
حَتّىٰ إِذا أَخَذنا مُترَفيهِم بِالعَذابِ إِذا هُم يَجأَرونَ
Until when We seize their affluent ones with punishment, at once they are crying [to Allah] for help.
لا تَجأَرُوا اليَومَ ۖ إِنَّكُم مِنّا لا تُنصَرونَ
Do not cry out today. Indeed, by Us you will not be helped.
قَد كانَت آياتي تُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم فَكُنتُم عَلىٰ أَعقابِكُم تَنكِصونَ
My verses had already been recited to you, but you were turning back on your heels
مُستَكبِرينَ بِهِ سامِرًا تَهجُرونَ
In arrogance regarding it, conversing by night, speaking evil.
أَفَلَم يَدَّبَّرُوا القَولَ أَم جاءَهُم ما لَم يَأتِ آباءَهُمُ الأَوَّلينَ
Then have they not reflected over the Qur'an, or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?
أَم لَم يَعرِفوا رَسولَهُم فَهُم لَهُ مُنكِرونَ
Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?
أَم يَقولونَ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ ۚ بَل جاءَهُم بِالحَقِّ وَأَكثَرُهُم لِلحَقِّ كارِهونَ
Or do they say, "In him is madness?" Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.
وَلَوِ اتَّبَعَ الحَقُّ أَهواءَهُم لَفَسَدَتِ السَّماواتُ وَالأَرضُ وَمَن فيهِنَّ ۚ بَل أَتَيناهُم بِذِكرِهِم فَهُم عَن ذِكرِهِم مُعرِضونَ
But if the Truth 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.
