وَما يَستَوِي الأَعمىٰ وَالبَصيرُ

Not equal are the blind and the seeing,

وَلَا الظُّلُماتُ وَلَا النّورُ

Nor are the darknesses and the light,

وَلَا الظِّلُّ وَلَا الحَرورُ

Nor are the shade and the heat,

وَما يَستَوِي الأَحياءُ وَلَا الأَمواتُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسمِعُ مَن يَشاءُ ۖ وَما أَنتَ بِمُسمِعٍ مَن فِي القُبورِ

And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves.

إِن أَنتَ إِلّا نَذيرٌ

You, [O Muhammad], are not but a warner.

وَإِن يُكَذِّبوكَ فَقَد كَذَّبَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم جاءَتهُم رُسُلُهُم بِالبَيِّناتِ وَبِالزُّبُرِ وَبِالكِتابِ المُنيرِ

And if they deny you - then already have those before them denied. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs and written ordinances and with the enlightening Scripture.

ثُمَّ أَخَذتُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا ۖ فَكَيفَ كانَ نَكيرِ

Then I seized the ones who disbelieved, and how [terrible] was My reproach.

أَلَم تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخرَجنا بِهِ ثَمَراتٍ مُختَلِفًا أَلوانُها ۚ وَمِنَ الجِبالِ جُدَدٌ بيضٌ وَحُمرٌ مُختَلِفٌ أَلوانُها وَغَرابيبُ سودٌ

Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby fruits of varying colors? And in the mountains are tracts, white and red of varying shades and [some] extremely black.

وَمِنَ النّاسِ وَالدَّوابِّ وَالأَنعامِ مُختَلِفٌ أَلوانُهُ كَذٰلِكَ ۗ إِنَّما يَخشَى اللَّهَ مِن عِبادِهِ العُلَماءُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزيزٌ غَفورٌ

And among people and moving creatures and grazing livestock are various colors similarly. Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Forgiving.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ يَتلونَ كِتابَ اللَّهِ وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَأَنفَقوا مِمّا رَزَقناهُم سِرًّا وَعَلانِيَةً يَرجونَ تِجارَةً لَن تَبورَ

Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah and establish prayer and spend [in His cause] out of what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, [can] expect a profit that will never perish -
