And how should I fear what you associate while you do not fear that you have associated with Allah that for which He has not sent down to you any authority? So which of the two parties has more right to security, if you should know

ٱلَّذِينَThose whoءَامَنُوا۟believedوَلَمْand (did) notيَلْبِسُوٓا۟mixإِيمَٰنَهُمtheir beliefبِظُلْمٍwith wrongأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَthoseلَهُمُfor themٱلْأَمْنُ(is) the securityوَهُمand theyمُّهْتَدُونَ(are) rightly guided﴿٨٢﴾

They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided

And that was Our [conclusive] argument which We gave Abraham against his people. We raise by degrees whom We will. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing

And We gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - all [of them] We guided. And Noah, We guided before; and among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the doers of good

وَزَكَرِيَّاAnd Zakariyaوَيَحْيَىٰand Yahyaوَعِيسَىٰand Isaوَإِلْيَاسَand Elijah كُلٌّall (were)مِّنَofٱلصَّٰلِحِينَthe righteous﴿٨٥﴾

And [some] among their fathers and their descendants and their brothers - and We chose them and We guided them to a straight path

That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whomever He wills of His servants. But if they had associated others with Allah, then worthless for them would be whatever they were doing

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَThose ٱلَّذِينَ(are) ones whomءَاتَيْنَٰهُمُWe gave themٱلْكِتَٰبَthe Bookوَٱلْحُكْمَand the judgmentوَٱلنُّبُوَّةَand the ProphethoodفَإِنBut ifيَكْفُرْdisbelieveبِهَاin itهَٰٓؤُلَآءِtheseفَقَدْthen indeedوَكَّلْنَاWe have entrustedبِهَاitقَوْمًا(to) a peopleلَّيْسُوا۟who are notبِهَاthereinبِكَٰفِرِينَdisbelievers﴿٨٩﴾

Those are the ones to whom We gave the Scripture and authority and prophethood. But if the disbelievers deny it, then We have entrusted it to a people who are not therein disbelievers

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَThoseٱلَّذِينَ(are) ones whomهَدَى(have been) guidedٱللَّهُ(by) Allahفَبِهُدَىٰهُمُso of their guidanceٱقْتَدِهْyou followقُلSayلَّآNotأَسْـَٔلُكُمْI ask youعَلَيْهِfor itأَجْرًاany rewardإِنْNotهُوَ(is) itإِلَّاbutذِكْرَىٰa reminderلِلْعَٰلَمِينَfor the worlds﴿٩٠﴾

Those are the ones whom Allah has guided, so from their guidance take an example. Say, "I ask of you for this message no payment. It is not but a reminder for the worlds

And they did not appraise Allah with true appraisal when they said, "Allah did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, "Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much. And you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, "Allah [revealed it]." Then leave them in their [empty] discourse, amusing themselves

وَهَٰذَاAnd thisكِتَٰبٌ(is) a BookأَنزَلْنَٰهُWe have revealed itمُبَارَكٌblessedمُّصَدِّقُconfirmingٱلَّذِىwhichبَيْنَ(came) beforeيَدَيْهِits handsوَلِتُنذِرَso that you may warnأُمَّ(the) motherٱلْقُرَىٰ(of) the citiesوَمَنْand whoحَوْلَهَا(are) around itوَٱلَّذِينَAnd those whoيُؤْمِنُونَbelieveبِٱلْءَاخِرَةِin the Hereafterيُؤْمِنُونَthey believeبِهِۦin itوَهُمْand theyعَلَىٰoverصَلَاتِهِمْtheir prayersيُحَافِظُونَ(are) guarding﴿٩٢﴾

And this is a Book which We have sent down, blessed and confirming what was before it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities and those around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they are maintaining their prayers

And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allah or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allah revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allah other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant

[It will be said to them], "And you have certainly come to Us alone as We created you the first time, and you have left whatever We bestowed upon you behind you. And We do not see with you your 'intercessors' which you claimed that they were among you associates [of Allah]. It has [all] been severed between you, and lost from you is what you used to claim

Indeed, Allah is the cleaver of grain and date seeds. He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living. That is Allah; so how are you deluded

And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them through the darknesses of the land and sea. We have detailed the signs for a people who know

And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe

But they have attributed to Allah partners - the jinn, while He has created them - and have fabricated for Him sons and daughters. Exalted is He and high above what they describe
