Qur’an — Page 376 of 604

مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُمَتَّعُونَ ٢٠٧

They would not be availed by the enjoyment with which they were provided.

وَمَآ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ ٢٠٨

And We did not destroy any city except that it had warners

ذِكۡرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٢٠٩

As a reminder; and never have We been unjust.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتۡ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ٢١٠

And the devils have not brought it [i.e., the revelation] down.¹

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِي لَهُمۡ وَمَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ٢١١

It is not allowable for them, nor would they be able.

إِنَّهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلسَّمۡعِ لَمَعۡزُولُونَ ٢١٢

Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.¹

فَلَا تَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُعَذَّبِينَ ٢١٣

So do not invoke¹ with Allāh another deity and [thus] be among the punished.

وَأَنذِرۡ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ ٢١٤

And warn, [O Muḥammad], your closest kindred.

وَٱخۡفِضۡ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٢١٥

And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to those who follow you of the believers.

فَإِنۡ عَصَوۡكَ فَقُلۡ إِنِّي بَرِيٓءٞ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٢١٦

And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."

وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٢١٧

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,

ٱلَّذِي يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ ٢١٨

Who sees you when you arise¹

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ ٢١٩

And your movement among those who prostrate.¹

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٢٢٠

Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

هَلۡ أُنَبِّئُكُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ ٢٢١

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٖ ٢٢٢

They descend upon every sinful liar.

يُلۡقُونَ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ كَٰذِبُونَ ٢٢٣

They pass on what is heard,¹ and most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ ٢٢٤

And the poets - [only] the deviators follow them.

أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّهُمۡ فِي كُلِّ وَادٖ يَهِيمُونَ ٢٢٥

Do you not see that in every valley they roam¹

وَأَنَّهُمۡ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفۡعَلُونَ ٢٢٦

And that they say what they do not do? -

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا وَٱنتَصَرُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواْۗ وَسَيَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓاْ أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٖ يَنقَلِبُونَ ٢٢٧

Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allāh often and defend [the Muslims]¹ after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
