وَلَقَد جاءَكُم يوسُفُ مِن قَبلُ بِالبَيِّناتِ فَما زِلتُم في شَكٍّ مِمّا جاءَكُم بِهِ ۖ حَتّىٰ إِذا هَلَكَ قُلتُم لَن يَبعَثَ اللَّهُ مِن بَعدِهِ رَسولًا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن هُوَ مُسرِفٌ مُرتابٌ
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allah send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allah leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."
الَّذينَ يُجادِلونَ في آياتِ اللَّهِ بِغَيرِ سُلطانٍ أَتاهُم ۖ كَبُرَ مَقتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا ۚ كَذٰلِكَ يَطبَعُ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ قَلبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبّارٍ
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allah without an authority having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allah seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.
وَقالَ فِرعَونُ يا هامانُ ابنِ لي صَرحًا لَعَلّي أَبلُغُ الأَسبابَ
And Pharaoh said, "O Haman, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways -
أَسبابَ السَّماواتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلىٰ إِلـٰهِ موسىٰ وَإِنّي لَأَظُنُّهُ كاذِبًا ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرعَونَ سوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَصُدَّ عَنِ السَّبيلِ ۚ وَما كَيدُ فِرعَونَ إِلّا في تَبابٍ
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
وَقالَ الَّذي آمَنَ يا قَومِ اتَّبِعونِ أَهدِكُم سَبيلَ الرَّشادِ
And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.
يا قَومِ إِنَّما هـٰذِهِ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا مَتاعٌ وَإِنَّ الآخِرَةَ هِيَ دارُ القَرارِ
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.
مَن عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلا يُجزىٰ إِلّا مِثلَها ۖ وَمَن عَمِلَ صالِحًا مِن ذَكَرٍ أَو أُنثىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤمِنٌ فَأُولـٰئِكَ يَدخُلونَ الجَنَّةَ يُرزَقونَ فيها بِغَيرِ حِسابٍ
Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
وَيا قَومِ ما لي أَدعوكُم إِلَى النَّجاةِ وَتَدعونَني إِلَى النّارِ
And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?
تَدعونَني لِأَكفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَأُشرِكَ بِهِ ما لَيسَ لي بِهِ عِلمٌ وَأَنا أَدعوكُم إِلَى العَزيزِ الغَفّارِ
You invite me to disbelieve in Allah and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver.
لا جَرَمَ أَنَّما تَدعونَني إِلَيهِ لَيسَ لَهُ دَعوَةٌ فِي الدُّنيا وَلا فِي الآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرَدَّنا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَنَّ المُسرِفينَ هُم أَصحابُ النّارِ
Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allah, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.
فَسَتَذكُرونَ ما أَقولُ لَكُم ۚ وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمري إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصيرٌ بِالعِبادِ
And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allah. Indeed, Allah is Seeing of [His] servants."
