يا مَعشَرَ الجِنِّ وَالإِنسِ أَلَم يَأتِكُم رُسُلٌ مِنكُم يَقُصّونَ عَلَيكُم آياتي وَيُنذِرونَكُم لِقاءَ يَومِكُم هـٰذا ۚ قالوا شَهِدنا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِنا ۖ وَغَرَّتهُمُ الحَياةُ الدُّنيا وَشَهِدوا عَلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم أَنَّهُم كانوا كافِرينَ

"O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

ذٰلِكَ أَن لَم يَكُن رَبُّكَ مُهلِكَ القُرىٰ بِظُلمٍ وَأَهلُها غافِلونَ

That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing while their people were unaware.

وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجاتٌ مِمّا عَمِلوا ۚ وَما رَبُّكَ بِغافِلٍ عَمّا يَعمَلونَ

And for all are degrees from what they have done. And your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

وَرَبُّكَ الغَنِيُّ ذُو الرَّحمَةِ ۚ إِن يَشَأ يُذهِبكُم وَيَستَخلِف مِن بَعدِكُم ما يَشاءُ كَما أَنشَأَكُم مِن ذُرِّيَّةِ قَومٍ آخَرينَ

And your Lord is the Free of need, the possessor of mercy. If He wills, he can do away with you and give succession after you to whomever He wills, just as He produced you from the descendants of another people.

إِنَّ ما توعَدونَ لَآتٍ ۖ وَما أَنتُم بِمُعجِزينَ

Indeed, what you are promised is coming, and you will not cause failure [to Allah].

وَجَعَلوا لِلَّهِ مِمّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ الحَرثِ وَالأَنعامِ نَصيبًا فَقالوا هـٰذا لِلَّهِ بِزَعمِهِم وَهـٰذا لِشُرَكائِنا ۖ فَما كانَ لِشُرَكائِهِم فَلا يَصِلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَما كانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلىٰ شُرَكائِهِم ۗ ساءَ ما يَحكُمونَ

And the polytheists assign to Allah from that which He created of crops and livestock a share and say, "This is for Allah," by their claim, "and this is for our partners [associated with Him]." But what is for their "partners" does not reach Allah, while what is for Allah - this reaches their "partners." Evil is that which they rule.

وَكَذٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثيرٍ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ قَتلَ أَولادِهِم شُرَكاؤُهُم لِيُردوهُم وَلِيَلبِسوا عَلَيهِم دينَهُم ۖ وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ ما فَعَلوهُ ۖ فَذَرهُم وَما يَفتَرونَ

And likewise, to many of the polytheists their partners have made [to seem] pleasing the killing of their children in order to bring about their destruction and to cover them with confusion in their religion. And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them and that which they invent.

وَقالوا هـٰذِهِ أَنعامٌ وَحَرثٌ حِجرٌ لا يَطعَمُها إِلّا مَن نَشاءُ بِزَعمِهِم وَأَنعامٌ حُرِّمَت ظُهورُها وَأَنعامٌ لا يَذكُرونَ اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهَا افتِراءً عَلَيهِ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم بِما كانوا يَفتَرونَ

And they say, "These animals and crops are forbidden; no one may eat from them except whom we will," by their claim. And there are those [camels] whose backs are forbidden [by them] and those upon which the name of Allah is not mentioned - [all of this] an invention of untruth about Him. He will punish them for what they were inventing.

وَقالوا ما في بُطونِ هـٰذِهِ الأَنعامِ خالِصَةٌ لِذُكورِنا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلىٰ أَزواجِنا ۖ وَإِن يَكُن مَيتَةً فَهُم فيهِ شُرَكاءُ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم وَصفَهُم ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكيمٌ عَليمٌ

And they say, "What is in the bellies of these animals is exclusively for our males and forbidden to our females. But if it is [born] dead, then all of them have shares therein." He will punish them for their description. Indeed, He is Wise and Knowing.

قَد خَسِرَ الَّذينَ قَتَلوا أَولادَهُم سَفَهًا بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ وَحَرَّموا ما رَزَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ افتِراءً عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ قَد ضَلّوا وَما كانوا مُهتَدينَ

Those will have lost who killed their children in foolishness without knowledge and prohibited what Allah had provided for them, inventing untruth about Allah. They have gone astray and were not [rightly] guided.
