Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided31وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسَـٰٓـُٔواْ بِمَا عَمِلُواْ وَيَجۡزِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ بِٱلۡحُسۡنَىAnd to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth - that He may recompense those who do evil with [the penalty of] what they have done and recompense those who do good with the best [reward]32ٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓئِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلۡمَغۡفِرَةِۚ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِكُمۡ إِذۡ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَإِذۡ أَنتُمۡ أَجِنَّةٞ فِي بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡۖ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡۖ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓThose who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness.…2 lectures →33أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَوَلَّىٰHave you seen the one who turned away34وَأَعۡطَىٰ قَلِيلٗا وَأَكۡدَىٰٓAnd gave a little and [then] refrained35أَعِندَهُۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓDoes he have knowledge of the unseen, so he sees36أَمۡ لَمۡ يُنَبَّأۡ بِمَا فِي صُحُفِ مُوسَىٰOr has he not been informed of what was in the scriptures of Moses37وَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلَّذِي وَفَّىٰٓAnd [of] Abraham, who fulfilled [his obligations]38أَلَّا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰThat no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another39وَأَن لَّيۡسَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰAnd that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives20 lectures →40وَأَنَّ سَعۡيَهُۥ سَوۡفَ يُرَىٰAnd that his effort is going to be seen41ثُمَّ يُجۡزَىٰهُ ٱلۡجَزَآءَ ٱلۡأَوۡفَىٰThen he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense42وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰAnd that to your Lord is the finality43وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَضۡحَكَ وَأَبۡكَىٰAnd that it is He who makes [one] laugh and weep44وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَأَحۡيَاAnd that it is He who causes death and gives life45وَأَنَّهُۥ خَلَقَ ٱلزَّوۡجَيۡنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰAnd that He creates the two mates - the male and female46مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ إِذَا تُمۡنَىٰFrom a sperm-drop when it is emitted47وَأَنَّ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰAnd that [incumbent] upon Him is the next creation48وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ أَغۡنَىٰ وَأَقۡنَىٰAnd that it is He who enriches and suffices49وَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلشِّعۡرَىٰAnd that it is He who is the Lord of Sirius50وَأَنَّهُۥٓ أَهۡلَكَ عَادًا ٱلۡأُولَىٰAnd that He destroyed the first [people of] 'Aad51وَثَمُودَاْ فَمَآ أَبۡقَىٰAnd Thamud - and He did not spare [them]52وَقَوۡمَ نُوحٖ مِّن قَبۡلُۖ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ هُمۡ أَظۡلَمَ وَأَطۡغَىٰAnd the people of Noah before.
