Muttakieena AAala sururin masfoofatin wazawwajnahum bihoorin AAeenin

فمن الله علينا ووقانا عذاب السموم
Famanna Allahu AAalayna wawaqana AAathaba alssamoomi
"Verily, We used to invoke Him (Alone and none else) before. Verily, He is Al-Barr (the Most Subtle, Kind, Courteous, and Generous), the Most Merciful."
إنا كنا من قبل ندعوه ۖ إنه هو البر الرحيم
Inna kunna min qablu nadAAoohu innahu huwa albarru alrraheemu
Therefore, remind (mankind of Islamic Monotheism, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم). By the Grace of Allah, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a madman.
فذكر فما أنت بنعمت ربك بكاهن ولا مجنون
Fathakkir fama anta biniAAmati rabbika bikahin wala majnoonin
Or do they say: "(Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is a poet! We await for him some calamity by time!"
أم يقولون شاعر نتربص به ريب المنون
Am yaqooloona shaAAirun natarabbasu bihi rayba almanooni
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to them): "Wait! I am with you among the waiters!"
قل تربصوا فإني معكم من المتربصين
Qul tarabbasoo fainnee maAAakum mina almutarabbiseena
Do their minds command them this [i.e. to tell a lie against you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)] or are they people transgressing all bounds?
أم تأمرهم أحلامهم بهذا ۚ أم هم قوم طاغون
Am tamuruhum ahlamuhum bihatha am hum qawmun taghoona
Or do they say: "He (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has forged it (this Qur'an)?" Nay! They believe not!
أم يقولون تقوله ۚ بل لا يؤمنون
Am yaqooloona taqawwalahu bal la yuminoona
Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur'an) if they are truthful.
فليأتوا بحديث مثله إن كانوا صادقين
Falyatoo bihadeethin mithlihi in kanoo sadiqeena
Were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?
أم خلقوا من غير شيء أم هم الخالقون
Am khuliqoo min ghayri shayin am humu alkhaliqoona
Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm Belief.
أم خلقوا السماوات والأرض ۚ بل لا يوقنون
Am khalaqoo alssamawati waalarda bal la yooqinoona
Or are with them the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the tyrants with the authority to do as they like?
أم عندهم خزائن ربك أم هم المصيطرون
Am AAindahum khazainu rabbika am humu almusaytiroona
Or have they a stairway (to heaven), by means of which they listen (to the talks of the angels)? Then let their listener produce some manifest proof.
أم لهم سلم يستمعون فيه ۖ فليأت مستمعهم بسلطان مبين
Am lahum sullamun yastamiAAoona feehi falyati mustamiAAuhum bisultanin mubeenin
Or has He (Allah) only daughters and you have sons?
أم له البنات ولكم البنون
Am lahu albanatu walakumu albanoona
Or is it that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) ask a wage from them (for your preaching of Islamic Monotheism) so that they are burdened with a load of debt?
أم تسألهم أجرا فهم من مغرم مثقلون
Am tasaluhum ajran fahum min maghramin muthqaloona
Or that the Ghaib (Unseen) is with them, and they write it down?
أم عندهم الغيب فهم يكتبون
Am AAindahumu alghaybu fahum yaktuboona
Or do they intend a plot (against you O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)? But those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) are themselves plotted against!
أم يريدون كيدا ۖ فالذين كفروا هم المكيدون
Am yureedoona kaydan faallatheena kafaroo humu almakeedoona
Or have they an ilah (a god) other than Allah? Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partners (to Him)
أم لهم إله غير الله ۚ سبحان الله عما يشركون
Am lahum ilahun ghayru Allahi subhana Allahi AAamma yushrikoona
And if they were to see a piece of the heaven falling down, they would say: "Clouds gathered in heaps!"
وإن يروا كسفا من السماء ساقطا يقولوا سحاب مركوم
Wain yaraw kisfan mina alssamai saqitan yaqooloo sahabun markoomun
So leave them alone till they meet their Day, in which they will sink into a fainting (with horror).
فذرهم حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذي فيه يصعقون
Fatharhum hatta yulaqoo yawmahumu allathee feehi yusAAaqoona
The Day when their plotting shall not avail them at all nor will they be helped (i.e. they will receive their torment in Hell).
يوم لا يغني عنهم كيدهم شيئا ولا هم ينصرون
Yawma la yughnee AAanhum kayduhum shayan wala hum yunsaroona
And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment (i.e. the torment in this world and in their graves) before this; but most of them know not. (Tafsir At-Tabari).
وإن للذين ظلموا عذابا دون ذلك ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون
Wainna lillatheena thalamoo AAathaban doona thalika walakinna aktharahum la yaAAlamoona
So wait patiently (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) for the Decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes ; and glorify the Praises of your Lord when you get up from sleep.
واصبر لحكم ربك فإنك بأعيننا ۖ وسبح بحمد ربك حين تقوم
Waisbir lihukmi rabbika fainnaka biaAAyunina wasabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoomu
And in the nighttime also glorify His Praises - and at the setting of the stars.
ومن الليل فسبحه وإدبار النجوم
Wamina allayli fasabbihhu waidbara alnnujoomi
