يُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشاءُ وَيَرحَمُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَإِلَيهِ تُقلَبونَ

He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned.

وَما أَنتُم بِمُعجِزينَ فِي الأَرضِ وَلا فِي السَّماءِ ۖ وَما لَكُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلا نَصيرٍ

And you will not cause failure [to Allah] upon the earth or in the heaven. And you have not other than Allah any protector or any helper.

وَالَّذينَ كَفَروا بِآياتِ اللَّهِ وَلِقائِهِ أُولـٰئِكَ يَئِسوا مِن رَحمَتي وَأُولـٰئِكَ لَهُم عَذابٌ أَليمٌ

And the ones who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and the meeting with Him - those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a painful punishment.

فَما كانَ جَوابَ قَومِهِ إِلّا أَن قالُوا اقتُلوهُ أَو حَرِّقوهُ فَأَنجاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النّارِ ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

And the answer of Abraham's people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allah saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

وَقالَ إِنَّمَا اتَّخَذتُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ أَوثانًا مَوَدَّةَ بَينِكُم فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا ۖ ثُمَّ يَومَ القِيامَةِ يَكفُرُ بَعضُكُم بِبَعضٍ وَيَلعَنُ بَعضُكُم بَعضًا وَمَأواكُمُ النّارُ وَما لَكُم مِن ناصِرينَ

And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers."

وَوَهَبنا لَهُ إِسحاقَ وَيَعقوبَ وَجَعَلنا في ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالكِتابَ وَآتَيناهُ أَجرَهُ فِي الدُّنيا ۖ وَإِنَّهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ لَمِنَ الصّالِحينَ

And We gave to Him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous.

وَلوطًا إِذ قالَ لِقَومِهِ إِنَّكُم لَتَأتونَ الفاحِشَةَ ما سَبَقَكُم بِها مِن أَحَدٍ مِنَ العالَمينَ

And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds.

أَئِنَّكُم لَتَأتونَ الرِّجالَ وَتَقطَعونَ السَّبيلَ وَتَأتونَ في ناديكُمُ المُنكَرَ ۖ فَما كانَ جَوابَ قَومِهِ إِلّا أَن قالُوا ائتِنا بِعَذابِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّادِقينَ

Indeed, you approach men and obstruct the road and commit in your meetings [every] evil." And the answer of his people was not but they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allah, if you should be of the truthful."

قالَ رَبِّ انصُرني عَلَى القَومِ المُفسِدينَ

He said, "My Lord, support me against the corrupting people."

وَلَمّا جاءَت رُسُلُنا إِبراهيمَ بِالبُشرىٰ قالوا إِنّا مُهلِكو أَهلِ هـٰذِهِ القَريَةِ ۖ إِنَّ أَهلَها كانوا ظالِمينَ

And when Our messengers came to Abraham with the good tidings, they said, "Indeed, we will destroy the people of that Lot's city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers."
