Ayahs 101–109 of 109

قُلِ ٱنظُرُوا۟ مَاذَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَا تُغْنِى ٱلْءَايَٰتُ وَٱلنُّذُرُ عَن قَوْمٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Say, "Observe what is in the heavens and earth." But of no avail will be signs or warners to a people who do not believe

(Say) to them, O Muhammad: (Behold what is in the heavens): the sun, the moon and the stars (and the earth) what is in the earth: the trees, beasts, mountains and oceans! These are all signs for you. (But revelations and warnings) the messengers (avail not folk who will not believe) as it is in Allah's foreknowledge.

102

فَهَلْ يَنتَظِرُونَ إِلَّا مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوْا۟ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ إِنِّى مَعَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ

So do they wait except for like [what occurred in] the days of those who passed on before them? Say, "Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."

(What expect they) is there any sign left for them (save the like of the days of those who passed away) except the punishment of those who passed away (before them) among the disbelievers? (Say) O Muhammad: (Expect then!) the descent of punishment and my own destruction! (I am with you among the expectant) of the descent of punishment and destruction upon you.

ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى رُسُلَنَا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنَا نُنجِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Then We will save our messengers and those who have believed. Thus, it is an obligation upon Us that We save the believers

(Then shall We save Our messengers and the believers) in these messengers after the destruction of their people, (in like manner (as of old)) thus. (It is incumbent upon Us to save believers) with their messengers.

قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ مِّن دِينِى فَلَآ أَعْبُدُ ٱلَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنْ أَعْبُدُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى يَتَوَفَّىٰكُمْ ۖ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not worship those which you worship besides Allah; but I worship Allah, who causes your death. And I have been commanded to be of the believers

(Say) O Muhammad: (O mankind!) O people of Mecca (If ye are in doubt of my religion) Islam, (then (know that) I worship not those whom ye worship) those upon whom you call, of idols, (instead of Allah, but I worship Allah who causeth you to die) Allah who takes away your souls and brings you back to life after He makes you die, (and I have been commanded to be of the believers) with the believers, following their faith.

105

وَأَنْ أَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًۭا وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ

And [commanded], 'Direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth, and never be of those who associate others with Allah;

(And, set thy purpose resolutely for religion) make your religion and works sincere to Allah, (as a man by nature upright) surrendered to Allah, (and be not of those who ascribe partners (to Allah)) do not be among the idolaters, following their religion.

106

وَلَا تَدْعُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَ ۖ فَإِن فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًۭا مِّنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

And do not invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.'"

(And cry not) worship not, (beside Allah, unto that which cannot profit thee) in the life of this world or in the Hereafter if you were to worship it (nor hurt thee) if you did not worship it, (for if thou didst so) for if you worshipped it (then wert thou of the wrong-doers) of those who harm themselves.

107

وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّۢ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍۢ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضْلِهِۦ ۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful

(If Allah afflicteth thee with some hurt) with hardship or a disliked matter, (there is none who can remove it) i.e. the harm (save Him; and if He desireth) and if He bestows upon you (good for thee) a blessing or pleasant matter, (there is none who can repel His bounty) there is none who can stop His gift, (He striketh with it) He favours with His bounty (whom He will of His bondmen) whoever deserves it. (He is the Forgiving) He forgives those who repent, (the Merciful) towards those who die in a state of repentance.

108

قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍۢ

Say, "O mankind, the truth has come to you from your Lord, so whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul, and whoever goes astray only goes astray [in violation] against it. And I am not over you a manager."

(Say: O mankind!) O people of Mecca! (Now hath the Truth) the Scripture and Messenger (from your Lord come unto you. So whosoever is guided) by the Scripture and Messenger, (is guided only for (the good of) his soul) i.e. its reward goes to him, (and whosoever erreth) and whoever disbelieves in the Scripture and Messenger (erreth only against it) i.e. the onus of his disbelief goes to him. (And I am not a warder) a trustee (over you). This was abrogated by the verse of fighting.

وَٱتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَٱصْبِرْ حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ

And follow what is revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and be patient until Allah will judge. And He is the best of judges.

(And) O Muhammad (follow that which is inspired in thee) that which you are commanded in the Qur'an regarding the conveyance of the message, (and forbear) in this conveyance (until Allah give judgement) until Allah judges between them and you, i.e. through their killing and destruction on the Day of Badr. (And He is the Best of Judges) He is the strongest of Judges: He is able to destroy them and make you triumphant'.
