Ayahs 61–70 of 109

61

وَمَا تَكُونُ فِى شَأْنٍۢ وَمَا تَتْلُوا۟ مِنْهُ مِن قُرْءَانٍۢ وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُودًا إِذْ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍۢ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَلَآ أَصْغَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكْبَرَ إِلَّا فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مُّبِينٍ

And, [O Muhammad], you are not [engaged] in any matter or recite any of the Qur'an and you [people] do not do any deed except that We are witness over you when you are involved in it. And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom's weight within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register.

(And thou art not) O Muhammad (occupied with any business) any matter (and thou recitest not) on them (a lecture from this (Scripture)) a surah or a verse, (and ye (mankind) perform no act) whether good or evil, (but We are Witness) but We have knowledge (of you) and of your matter, recitation and works (when ye are engaged therein) i.e. in the Qur'an and its denial. (And not an atom's weight) of the servants' works (in the earth or in the sky escapeth) is hidden from (your Lord, nor what is less) nor what is lighter (than that or greater than that) or heavier, (but it is (written) in a clear Book) but it is written in the Guarded Tablet.

62

أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Unquestionably, [for] the allies of Allah there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve

(Lo! verily the) believing (friends of Allah are (those) on whom fear (cometh) not) regarding any future punishment, (nor do they grieve) about that which they have left behind.

63

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ

Those who believed and were fearing Allah

Allah then showed who these are, saying: (Those who believe) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an (and keep their duty (to Allah)) and ward off disbelief, idolatry, and indecencies.

64

لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

For them are good tidings in the worldly life and in the Hereafter. No change is there in the words of Allah. That is what is the great attainment.

(Theirs are good tidings in the life of the world) through good dream visions which they see or are seen in their favour (and in the Hereafter) by entering Paradise. (There is no changing the Words of Allah) that they will enter Paradise (that) good tiding (is the Supreme Triumph) the abounding salvation: they earn Paradise and all that is in it and are saved from hell and all that is in it.

65

وَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّ ٱلْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ جَمِيعًا ۚ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

And let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, honor [due to power] belongs to Allah entirely. He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

(And let not their speech) their denial of you (grieve thee) O Muhammad. (Lo! Power) might and invincibility (belongeth wholly to Allah) Who is able to destroy them. (He is the Hearer) of what they say, (the Knower) of what they do as well as of their punishment.

66

أَلَآ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا ٱلظَّنَّ وَإِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ

Unquestionably, to Allah belongs whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth. And those who invoke other than Allah do not [actually] follow [His] "partners." They follow not except assumption, and they are not but falsifying

(Lo! is it not unto Allah that belongeth whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth) of created beings and He changes them as He wills? (Those who follow) worship (aught instead of Allah follow not) worship not ((His) partners) gods in the form of idols. (They follow) they worship (only a conjecture) by means of conjecture, and have no certainty (and they) i.e. the leaders of the disbelievers (do but guess) they lie to those who are lowly among them.

67

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَسْمَعُونَ

It is He who made for you the night to rest therein and the day, giving sight. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen.

(He it is) i.e. it is your Lord (who hath appointed) created (for you the night that you should rest therein and the day giving sight) and the day bright and clear so that you are able to come and go. (Lo! Herein) in that which I have mentioned (verily are portents) lessons (for a folk that heed) the admonitions of the Qur'an and who also obey.

68

قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًۭا ۗ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ۖ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنْ عِندَكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ بِهَٰذَآ ۚ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

They have said, "Allah has taken a son." Exalted is He; He is the [one] Free of need. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. You have no authority for this [claim]. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?

(They) the disbelievers of Mecca (say: Allah hath taken (unto Him) a son) from the female angels. (Glorified be He!) Allah exonerates Himself from having sons or partners. (He hath no needs!) He has no need for a son or partners. (His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth) of created beings and marvels. (Ye have no warrant) you have neither scripture nor proof (for this. Tell ye) indeed, you are saying (concerning Allah that which you know not) of lies?

69

قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ

Say, "Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed."

(Say) O Muhammad: (Verily those who invent a lie concerning Allah will not succeed) they will not escape Allah's punishment nor will they be safe.

70

مَتَٰعٌۭ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ

[For them is brief] enjoyment in this world; then to Us is their return; then We will make them taste the severe punishment because they used to disbelieve

(This world's portion (will be theirs)) they will live in the life of this world a little, (then unto Us is their return) after they die. (Then We make them taste a dreadful) a severe (doom because they used to disbelieve) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an and also because they invented lies about Allah.
