قَالَ كَذٰلِكَ اَتَتْكَ اٰيَاتُنَا فَنَس۪يتَهَاۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنْسٰى126
God will say, ‘This is how it is: You ignored Our revelations when they came to you, so today you will be ignored.’
وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجْز۪ي مَنْ اَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاٰيَاتِ رَبِّه۪ۜ وَلَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَشَدُّ وَاَبْقٰى127
This is how We reward those who go too far, and who do not believe in their Lord’s revelations. The greatest and most enduring punishment is in the Hereafter
اَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ اَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُمْ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ ف۪ي مَسَاكِنِهِمْۜ اِنَّ ف۪ي ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيَاتٍ لِاُو۬لِي النُّهٰى۟128
Do they not draw a lesson from the many generations We destroyed before them, through whose dwelling places they now walk? There truly are signs in this for anyone with understanding
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَاَجَلٌ مُسَمًّىۜ129
If it were not for a preordained Word from your Lord [Prophet], they would already have been destroyed. Their time has been set
فَاصْبِرْ عَلٰى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَاۚ وَمِنْ اٰنَٓائِ الَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَاَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضٰى130
so [Prophet] be patient with what they say- celebrate the praise of your Lord, before the rising and setting of the sun, celebrate His praise during the night, and at the beginning and end of the day, so that you may find contentment
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِه۪ٓ اَزْوَاجًا مِنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيٰوةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ ف۪يهِۜ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَاَبْقٰى131
and do not gaze longingly at what We have given some of them to enjoy, the finery of this present life: We test them through this, but the provision of your Lord is better and more lasting
وَاْمُرْ اَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلٰوةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَاۜ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًاۜ نَحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَۜ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوٰى132
Order your people to pray, and pray steadfastly yourself. We are not asking you to give Us provision;We provide for you, and the rewards of the Hereafter belong to the devout
وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا يَاْت۪ينَا بِاٰيَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّه۪ۜ اَوَلَمْ تَاْتِهِمْ بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِي الصُّحُفِ الْاُولٰى133
The disbelievers say, ‘Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?’ Have they not been given clear proof confirming what was in the earlier scriptures
وَلَوْ اَنَّٓا اَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ مِنْ قَبْلِه۪ لَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَوْلَٓا اَرْسَلْتَ اِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ اٰيَاتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ نَذِلَّ وَنَخْزٰى134
If We had destroyed them through punishment before this Messenger came, they would have said, ‘Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we could have followed Your revelations before we suffered humiliation and disgrace!’
قُلْ كُلٌّ مُتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُواۚ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ اَصْحَابُ الصِّرَاطِ السَّوِيِّ وَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى135
[Prophet], say, ‘We are all waiting, so you carry on waiting: you will come to learn who has followed the even path, and been rightly guided.’
