وَهُم يَنهَونَ عَنهُ وَيَنأَونَ عَنهُ ۖ وَإِن يُهلِكونَ إِلّا أَنفُسَهُم وَما يَشعُرونَ

And they prevent [others] from him and are [themselves] remote from him. And they do not destroy except themselves, but they perceive [it] not.

وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذ وُقِفوا عَلَى النّارِ فَقالوا يا لَيتَنا نُرَدُّ وَلا نُكَذِّبَ بِآياتِ رَبِّنا وَنَكونَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

If you could but see when they are made to stand before the Fire and will say, "Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers."

بَل بَدا لَهُم ما كانوا يُخفونَ مِن قَبلُ ۖ وَلَو رُدّوا لَعادوا لِما نُهوا عَنهُ وَإِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ

But what they concealed before has [now] appeared to them. And even if they were returned, they would return to that which they were forbidden; and indeed, they are liars.

وَقالوا إِن هِيَ إِلّا حَياتُنَا الدُّنيا وَما نَحنُ بِمَبعوثينَ

And they say, "There is none but our worldly life, and we will not be resurrected."

وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذ وُقِفوا عَلىٰ رَبِّهِم ۚ قالَ أَلَيسَ هـٰذا بِالحَقِّ ۚ قالوا بَلىٰ وَرَبِّنا ۚ قالَ فَذوقُوا العَذابَ بِما كُنتُم تَكفُرونَ

If you could but see when they will be made to stand before their Lord. He will say, "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will [then] say, "So taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve."

وَمَا الحَياةُ الدُّنيا إِلّا لَعِبٌ وَلَهوٌ ۖ وَلَلدّارُ الآخِرَةُ خَيرٌ لِلَّذينَ يَتَّقونَ ۗ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ

And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason?

قَد نَعلَمُ إِنَّهُ لَيَحزُنُكَ الَّذي يَقولونَ ۖ فَإِنَّهُم لا يُكَذِّبونَكَ وَلـٰكِنَّ الظّالِمينَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ يَجحَدونَ

We know that you, [O Muhammad], are saddened by what they say. And indeed, they do not call you untruthful, but it is the verses of Allah that the wrongdoers reject.

وَلَقَد كُذِّبَت رُسُلٌ مِن قَبلِكَ فَصَبَروا عَلىٰ ما كُذِّبوا وَأوذوا حَتّىٰ أَتاهُم نَصرُنا ۚ وَلا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَلَقَد جاءَكَ مِن نَبَإِ المُرسَلينَ

And certainly were messengers denied before you, but they were patient over [the effects of] denial, and they were harmed until Our victory came to them. And none can alter the words of Allah. And there has certainly come to you some information about the [previous] messengers.

وَإِن كانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيكَ إِعراضُهُم فَإِنِ استَطَعتَ أَن تَبتَغِيَ نَفَقًا فِي الأَرضِ أَو سُلَّمًا فِي السَّماءِ فَتَأتِيَهُم بِآيَةٍ ۚ وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُم عَلَى الهُدىٰ ۚ فَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ الجاهِلينَ

And if their evasion is difficult for you, then if you are able to seek a tunnel into the earth or a stairway into the sky to bring them a sign, [then do so]. But if Allah had willed, He would have united them upon guidance. So never be of the ignorant.

إِنَّما يَستَجيبُ الَّذينَ يَسمَعونَ ۘ وَالمَوتىٰ يَبعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيهِ يُرجَعونَ

Only those who hear will respond. But the dead - Allah will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned.
