إِنَّمَا سُلْطَـٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشْرِكُونَ |  | 100 His authority is but over those who take him for ally and those who ascribe a partnership1 to him.2)
وَإِذَا بَدَّلْنَآ ءَايَةً مَّكَانَ ءَايَةٍ وَٱللَّـهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُنَزِّلُ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُفْتَرٍۭ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ |  | 101 And when1 We change2 by a proof3 the place of a proof;4 and God best knows what He sends down.5 They say: “Thou art but inventing.”6 The truth is,7 most of them know not.
قُلْ نَزَّلَهُۥ رُوحُ ٱلْقُدُسِ مِن رَّبِّكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِيُثَبِّتَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ |  | 102 Say thou: “The Spirit of Holiness brought it down from thy Lord in truth,1 that it might strengthen those who heed warning,2 and as guidance and glad tidings for those submitting.”3
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يُعَلِّمُهُۥ بَشَرٌ لِّسَانُ ٱلَّذِى يُلْحِدُونَ إِلَيْهِ أَعْجَمِىٌّ وَهَـٰذَا لِسَانٌ عَرَبِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ |  | 103 And We know that they say: “A man1 but teaches him.” The tongue to which they incline is foreign, but this is a clear Arabic tongue.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّـهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ ٱللَّـهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |  | 104 Those who believe not in1 the proofs2 of God: God will not guide them, and they have a painful punishment
إِنَّمَا يَفْتَرِى ٱلْكَذِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّـهِ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَـٰذِبُونَ |  | 105 — They but invent lies1 who believe not in2 the proofs3 of God — and it is they who are the liars.
مَن كَفَرَ بِٱللَّـهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِيمَـٰنِهِۦٓ إِلَّا مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُۥ مُطْمَئِنٌّۢ بِٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ وَلَـٰكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِٱلْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّـهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ |  | 106 Whoso denies God after his faith[...]1 — save he who is compelled thereto but whose heart finds rest in faith; but whoso expands his breast to denial, upon them is wrath from God; and they have a great punishment.
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّـهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ |  | 107 Is it not that1 they chose the life of this world over the Hereafter, and that God guides not the people of the false claimers of guidance!2
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ طَبَعَ ٱللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰفِلُونَ |  | 108 Those are they whose hearts God has sealed, and their hearing and their sight; and it is they who are the heedless;
لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ |  | 109 Without doubt, in the Hereafter they are the losers.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا فُتِنُوا۟ ثُمَّ جَـٰهَدُوا۟ وَصَبَرُوٓا۟ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |  | 110 Then thy Lord — to those who emigrate after they are subjected to means of denial,1 then strive and are patient — thy Lord, after that, is forgiving and merciful2
يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ تُجَـٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ |  | 111 The day every soul comes pleading for itself, and every soul is repaid in full for what it did; and they will not be wronged.
وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّـهُ مَثَلًا قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ ٱللَّـهِ فَأَذَٰقَهَا ٱللَّـهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَصْنَعُونَ |  | 112 And God strikes a similitude: — a city secure, at peace, its provision coming to it in abundance from every side; but it denied the favours of God, then God let it taste the cloak1 of hunger and fear because of what they wrought.
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ |  | 113 And a messenger from among them had come to them, then they denied him;1 then the punishment took them while they were wrongdoers.2
فَكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّـهُ حَلَـٰلًا طَيِّبًا وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّـهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ |  | 114 So eat of what God has provided you, lawful and good; and be grateful for the favour of your Lord if it be Him you serve.
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّـهِ بِهِۦ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |  | 115 He has but made unlawful to you carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that dedicated to other than God; but whoso is forced, neither desiring nor transgressing: God is forgiving and merciful.
وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ هَـٰذَا حَلَـٰلٌ وَهَـٰذَا حَرَامٌ لِّتَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّـهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّـهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ |  | 116 And add1 not to what your tongues describe the lie: “This is lawful, and this is unlawful,”2 to invent lies3 about God; those who invent lies4 about God will not succeed:
مَتَـٰعٌ قَلِيلٌ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ |  | 117 A brief enjoyment, and they have a painful punishment.
وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـٰهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ |  | 118 And to those who hold to Judaism1 We made unlawful what We related to thee before; and We wronged them not, but they wronged their souls.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا۟ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَـٰلَةٍ ثُمَّ تَابُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوٓا۟ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ |  | 119 Then thy Lord — to those who did evil through ignorance then repented after that and made right — thy Lord, after that,1 is forgiving and merciful.
إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلَّـهِ حَنِيفًا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ |  | 120 Abraham was a leader,1 humbly obedient to God, inclining to truth;2 and he was not of the idolaters:3
شَاكِرًا لِّأَنْعُمِهِ ٱجْتَبَىٰهُ وَهَدَىٰهُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ |  | 121 One grateful for His favours; He chose him, and guided him to a straight path.
وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ |  | 122 And We gave him good in the World, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.
ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ |  | 123 Then We instructed1 thee: “Follow thou the creed of Abraham, inclining to truth;2 and he was not of the idolaters.”3
إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ ٱلسَّبْتُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ |  | 124 The Sabbath was only appointed for those who differed concerning it;1 and thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differed.
ٱدْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَٱلْمَوْعِظَةِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ وَجَـٰدِلْهُم بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُهْتَدِينَ |  | 125 Invite thou to the path of thy Lord with wisdom1 and comely admonition, and dispute thou with them with that which is best. Thy Lord, He best knows him who strays from His path; and He best knows the guided.
وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُوا۟ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُم بِهِۦ وَلَئِن صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِّلصَّـٰبِرِينَ |  | 126 And if you retaliate,1 then retaliate with the like of that wherewith you are harmed; but if you are patient, it is better for the patient.
وَٱصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّـهِ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِى ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ |  | 127 And be thou patient; and thy patience is only through God. And grieve thou not over them, nor be thou in distress over what they scheme.
إِنَّ ٱللَّـهَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ وَّٱلَّذِينَ هُم مُّحْسِنُونَ |  | 128 God is with those of prudent fear,1 and those who are doers of good.
