وَهُوَ اللَّهُ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ الحَمدُ فِي الأولىٰ وَالآخِرَةِ ۖ وَلَهُ الحُكمُ وَإِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ

And He is Allah; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned.

قُل أَرَأَيتُم إِن جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيكُمُ اللَّيلَ سَرمَدًا إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ مَن إِلـٰهٌ غَيرُ اللَّهِ يَأتيكُم بِضِياءٍ ۖ أَفَلا تَسمَعونَ

Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the night continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you light? Then will you not hear?"

قُل أَرَأَيتُم إِن جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيكُمُ النَّهارَ سَرمَدًا إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ مَن إِلـٰهٌ غَيرُ اللَّهِ يَأتيكُم بِلَيلٍ تَسكُنونَ فيهِ ۖ أَفَلا تُبصِرونَ

Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?"

وَمِن رَحمَتِهِ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ لِتَسكُنوا فيهِ وَلِتَبتَغوا مِن فَضلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ

And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.

وَيَومَ يُناديهِم فَيَقولُ أَينَ شُرَكائِيَ الَّذينَ كُنتُم تَزعُمونَ

And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are my 'partners' which you used to claim?"

إِنَّ قارونَ كانَ مِن قَومِ موسىٰ فَبَغىٰ عَلَيهِم ۖ وَآتَيناهُ مِنَ الكُنوزِ ما إِنَّ مَفاتِحَهُ لَتَنوءُ بِالعُصبَةِ أُولِي القُوَّةِ إِذ قالَ لَهُ قَومُهُ لا تَفرَح ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ الفَرِحينَ

Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not like the exultant.

وَابتَغِ فيما آتاكَ اللَّهُ الدّارَ الآخِرَةَ ۖ وَلا تَنسَ نَصيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنيا ۖ وَأَحسِن كَما أَحسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيكَ ۖ وَلا تَبغِ الفَسادَ فِي الأَرضِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ المُفسِدينَ

But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters."

قالَ إِنَّما أوتيتُهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ عِندي ۚ أَوَلَم يَعلَم أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَد أَهلَكَ مِن قَبلِهِ مِنَ القُرونِ مَن هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكثَرُ جَمعًا ۚ وَلا يُسأَلُ عَن ذُنوبِهِمُ المُجرِمونَ

He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.

فَخَرَجَ عَلىٰ قَومِهِ في زينَتِهِ ۖ قالَ الَّذينَ يُريدونَ الحَياةَ الدُّنيا يا لَيتَ لَنا مِثلَ ما أوتِيَ قارونُ إِنَّهُ لَذو حَظٍّ عَظيمٍ

So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qarun. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."

وَقالَ الَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ وَيلَكُم ثَوابُ اللَّهِ خَيرٌ لِمَن آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صالِحًا وَلا يُلَقّاها إِلَّا الصّابِرونَ

But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."
