39. Surah Az-Zumar

اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْكَ الْكِتٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ١ۚ فَمَنِ اهْتَدٰى فَلِنَفْسِهٖ١ۚ وَ مَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیْهَا١ۚ وَ مَاۤ اَنْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِوَكِیْلٍ۠ ﴿٤١﴾Open ayah 39:41 in the Quran reader

(O Prophet:) We have sent down to you for all mankind this Book with the truth. Now whosoever adopts the right way, will do so for his own sake, and whosoever goes astray, will himself bear the burden of his deviation: you are not responsible for them. 59

اَللّٰهُ یَتَوَفَّى الْاَنْفُسَ حِیْنَ مَوْتِهَا وَ الَّتِیْ لَمْ تَمُتْ فِیْ مَنَامِهَا١ۚ فَیُمْسِكُ الَّتِیْ قَضٰى عَلَیْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَ یُرْسِلُ الْاُخْرٰۤى اِلٰۤى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى١ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ ﴿٤٢﴾Open ayah 39:42 in the Quran reader

It is Allah Who takes the souls at death and the soul of the one, who has not yet died, during sleep. 60

اَمِ اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ شُفَعَآءَ١ؕ قُلْ اَوَ لَوْ كَانُوْا لَا یَمْلِكُوْنَ شَیْئًا وَّ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ ﴿٤٣﴾Open ayah 39:43 in the Quran reader

Then He withholds that for whom He decrees death and restores the souls of others till an appointed time. ln this there are many signs for the people who reflect. 61 What! Have they taken besides Allah others as intercessors? 62 Say to them, "Will they intercede even if they have no power whatever nor understanding?"

قُلْ لِّلّٰهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِیْعًا١ؕ لَهٗ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ١ؕ ثُمَّ اِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَ ﴿٤٤﴾Open ayah 39:44 in the Quran reader

Say, "Intercession is wholly in the power of Allah: 63 His is the Kingdom of the heavens and the earth. Then, to Him you will be returned. "

وَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ اشْمَاَزَّتْ قُلُوْبُ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ١ۚ وَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِذَا هُمْ یَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ ﴿٤٥﴾Open ayah 39:45 in the Quran reader

When Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter, are filled with anguish; but when others beside Him are mentioned, they are at once filled with joy. 64

قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ عٰلِمَ الْغَیْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ اَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَیْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِیْ مَا كَانُوْا فِیْهِ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ ﴿٤٦﴾Open ayah 39:46 in the Quran reader

Say, "O God! Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen! You alone shall judge between Your servants concerning that in which they have been differing."

وَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِلَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا وَّ مِثْلَهٗ مَعَهٗ لَافْتَدَوْا بِهٖ مِنْ سُوْٓءِ الْعَذَابِ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ١ؕ وَ بَدَا لَهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَمْ یَكُوْنُوْا یَحْتَسِبُوْنَ ﴿٤٧﴾Open ayah 39:47 in the Quran reader

Even if the wicked people possessed all the wealth of the earth, and as much more, they would be prepared to offer it all as ransom to escape the terrible punishment of the Day of Resurrection; yet from Allah there would appear before them that which they would never have imagined.

وَ بَدَا لَهُمْ سَیِّاٰتُ مَا كَسَبُوْا وَ حَاقَ بِهِمْ مَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ﴿٤٨﴾Open ayah 39:48 in the Quran reader

فَاِذَا مَسَّ الْاِنْسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا١٘ ثُمَّ اِذَا خَوَّلْنٰهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا١ۙ قَالَ اِنَّمَاۤ اُوْتِیْتُهٗ عَلٰى عِلْمٍ١ؕ بَلْ هِیَ فِتْنَةٌ وَّ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ﴿٤٩﴾Open ayah 39:49 in the Quran reader

Man 65 is such that when a little affliction touches him, he calls upon Us, and when We bestow Our favour on him, he says, "I have been given this because of my knowledge! " 66Nay, it is a trial, but most of them do not know. 67

قَدْ قَالَهَا الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَمَاۤ اَغْنٰى عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ ﴿٥٠﴾Open ayah 39:50 in the Quran reader

The same was said also by those who went before them, but whatever they earned did not avail them anything. 68

فَاَصَابَهُمْ سَیِّاٰتُ مَا كَسَبُوْا١ؕ وَ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ سَیُصِیْبُهُمْ سَیِّاٰتُ مَا كَسَبُوْا١ۙ وَ مَا هُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ ﴿٥١﴾Open ayah 39:51 in the Quran reader

So, they met the evil consequences of their deeds, and the wicked ones among these people, too, shall soon meet the evil consequences of their deeds. They cannot frustrate Us.

اَوَ لَمْ یَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ وَ یَقْدِرُ١ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ۠ ﴿٥٢﴾Open ayah 39:52 in the Quran reader
