Ayahs 41–50 of 109

41

وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّى عَمَلِى وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ ۖ أَنتُم بَرِيٓـُٔونَ مِمَّآ أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَا۠ بَرِىٓءٌۭ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

And if they deny you, [O Muhammad], then say, "For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do."

(And if they deny thee) and if your people deny, O Muhammad, what you say, (say: Unto me my work) my religion, (and unto you your work) your religion. (You are innocent of what I do) and follow as religion, (and I am innocent of what ye do) and follow as religion.

42

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

And among them are those who listen to you. But can you cause the deaf to hear, although they will not use reason?

(And of them) of the Jews (are some who listen unto thee) listen to your words and speech; it is also said that this means: of the Arab idolaters who listen to your words and speech. (But canst thou) O Muhammad (make the deaf to hear even though they apprehend not) even though they have no desire to apprehend?

43

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيْكَ ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ

And among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind although they will not [attempt to] see?

(And of them) of the Jews; and it is said: of the idolaters (is he who looketh towards you. But canst thou guide) lead to guidance (the blind even though they see not) even though they do not desire to see the Truth and guidance?

44

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Indeed, Allah does not wrong the people at all, but it is the people who are wronging themselves.

(Lo! Allah wrongeth not mankind in aught) He neither decreases their good works nor increases their evil deeds; (but mankind wrong themselves) through disbelief, idolatry and transgressions.

45

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَأَن لَّمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ

And on the Day when He will gather them, [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] but an hour of the day, [and] they will know each other. Those will have lost who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided

(And on the day when He shall gather them) i.e. the Jews, the Christians and the idolaters (together, (when it will seem) as though they had tarried) in their graves (but an hour of the day, recognizing one another) recognising one another in some places and not recognising one another in others, (those will verily have perished) have lost (who denied the meeting with Allah) who denied resurrection after death, because they have lost both this world and the Next (and were not guided) from disbelief and error.

46

وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ

And whether We show you some of what We promise them, [O Muhammad], or We take you in death, to Us is their return; then, [either way], Allah is a witness concerning what they are doing

(Whether We let thee) O Muhammad (behold something of that which We promise them) of chastisement (or (whether We) cause thee to die) before We show you, O Muhammad, that which We promise them of chastisement, (still unto Us is their return) after they die, (and Allah, moreover, is Witness over what they do) of good and evil.

47

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ رَّسُولٌۭ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمْ قُضِىَ بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْقِسْطِ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

And for every nation is a messenger. So when their messenger comes, it will be judged between them in justice, and they will not be wronged

(And for every nation) for the adherents of each religion (there is a messenger) who calls them to Allah and to His religion. (And when their messenger cometh) to them and they deny (it will be judged between them) and the Messenger (fairly) with justice: those people will perish and the Messenger will be saved, (and they will not be wronged) their good works will not be decreased nor will their evil deeds be increased.

48

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

(And they say) and the adherents of each religion say to their messenger: (When will this promise) that you have promised us (be fulfilled, if ye are truthful?)

49

قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى ضَرًّۭا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةًۭ ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

Say, "I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allah should will. For every nation is a [specified] term. When their time has come, then they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it]."

(Say) to them, O Muhammad: (I have no power to) avoid (hurt or) bring (benefit) to (myself, save that which Allah willeth) of hurt or benefit. (For every nation there is an appointed time) a respite and determined time. (When their time cometh) when the time of their destruction comes, (then they cannot put it off an hour) after the appointed time, (nor hasten (it)) before the appointed time.

50

قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَتَىٰكُمْ عَذَابُهُۥ بَيَٰتًا أَوْ نَهَارًۭا مَّاذَا يَسْتَعْجِلُ مِنْهُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ

Say, "Have you considered: if His punishment should come to you by night or by day - for which [aspect] of it would the criminals be impatient?"

(Say) O Muhammad, to the people of Mecca: (Have ye thought: When His doom) Allah's chastisement (cometh unto you as a raid by night, or in the (busy) day) what you will do? (what is there of it) of Allah's chastisement (that the guilty ones) the idolaters (desire to hasten?) and then say: we believe.
