ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَجُلًا فيهِ شُرَكاءُ مُتَشاكِسونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِرَجُلٍ هَل يَستَوِيانِ مَثَلًا ۚ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَل أَكثَرُهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

Allah presents an example: a slave owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! But most of them do not know.

إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَيِّتونَ

Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.

ثُمَّ إِنَّكُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُم تَختَصِمونَ

Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, before your Lord, will dispute.

فَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَكَذَّبَ بِالصِّدقِ إِذ جاءَهُ ۚ أَلَيسَ في جَهَنَّمَ مَثوًى لِلكافِرينَ

So who is more unjust than one who lies about Allah and denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a residence for the disbelievers?

وَالَّذي جاءَ بِالصِّدقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهِ ۙ أُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُتَّقونَ

And the one who has brought the truth and [they who] believed in it - those are the righteous.

لِيُكَفِّرَ اللَّهُ عَنهُم أَسوَأَ الَّذي عَمِلوا وَيَجزِيَهُم أَجرَهُم بِأَحسَنِ الَّذي كانوا يَعمَلونَ

That Allah may remove from them the worst of what they did and reward them their due for the best of what they used to do.

أَلَيسَ اللَّهُ بِكافٍ عَبدَهُ ۖ وَيُخَوِّفونَكَ بِالَّذينَ مِن دونِهِ ۚ وَمَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِن هادٍ

Is not Allah sufficient for His Servant [Prophet Muhammad]? And [yet], they threaten you with those [they worship] other than Him. And whoever Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide.

وَمَن يَهدِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِن مُضِلٍّ ۗ أَلَيسَ اللَّهُ بِعَزيزٍ ذِي انتِقامٍ

And whoever Allah guides - for him there is no misleader. Is not Allah Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution?

وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ لَيَقولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُل أَفَرَأَيتُم ما تَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ إِن أَرادَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَل هُنَّ كاشِفاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَو أَرادَني بِرَحمَةٍ هَل هُنَّ مُمسِكاتُ رَحمَتِهِ ۚ قُل حَسبِيَ اللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ المُتَوَكِّلونَ

And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "Allah." Say, "Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? If Allah intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?" Say, "Sufficient for me is Allah; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers."

قُل يا قَومِ اعمَلوا عَلىٰ مَكانَتِكُم إِنّي عامِلٌ ۖ فَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ

Say, "O my people, work according to your position, [for] indeed, I am working; and you are going to know
