ذٰلِكَ اَنْ لَّمْ یَكُنْ رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ الْقُرٰی بِظُلْمٍ وَّ اَهْلُهَا غٰفِلُوْنَ۝۱۳۱

And this (so that it may be clear) that your Lord does not destroy towns and cities arbitrarily while the citizens remain unaware.

وَ لِكُلٍّ دَرَجٰتٌ مِّمَّا عَمِلُوْا ؕ وَ مَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا یَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۱۳۲

Every one has his place according to his deeds, for your Lord is not negligent of what you do.

وَ رَبُّكَ الْغَنِیُّ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ ؕ اِنْ یَّشَاْ یُذْهِبْكُمْ وَ یَسْتَخْلِفْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِكُمْ مَّا یَشَآءُ كَمَاۤ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُرِّیَّةِ قَوْمٍ اٰخَرِیْنَؕ۝۱۳۳

Your Lord is all-sufficient and full of benevolence. He can take you away if He please, and make whom He will succeed you, as He had raised you from the progeny of others.

اِنَّ مَا تُوْعَدُوْنَ لَاٰتٍ ۙ وَّ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ۝۱۳۴

The promise that was made to you is bound to be fulfilled. It is not in your power to defeat it.

قُلْ یٰقَوْمِ اعْمَلُوْا عَلٰی مَكَانَتِكُمْ اِنِّیْ عَامِلٌ ۚ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ مَنْ تَكُوْنُ لَهٗ عَاقِبَةُ الدَّارِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا یُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ۝۱۳۵

Tell them: "O my people, go on acting on your part, I am acting on mine. You will soon know whose is the guerdon of life to come." The wicked will not succeed.

وَ جَعَلُوْا لِلّٰهِ مِمَّا ذَرَاَ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَ الْاَنْعَامِ نَصِیْبًا فَقَالُوْا هٰذَا لِلّٰهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَ هٰذَا لِشُرَكَآىِٕنَا ۚ فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَآىِٕهِمْ فَلَا یَصِلُ اِلَی اللّٰهِ ۚ وَ مَا كَانَ لِلّٰهِ فَهُوَ یَصِلُ اِلٰی شُرَكَآىِٕهِمْ ؕ سَآءَ مَا یَحْكُمُوْنَ۝۱۳۶

They allocate a share from God´s own created fields and cattle to God, and they say: "This is God´s" -- or so they think -- "and that, of the compeers of God," so that what belongs to the compeers does not reach God, but that which is God´s may reach the compeers (set up by them). How bad is the judgement that they make!

وَ كَذٰلِكَ زَیَّنَ لِكَثِیْرٍ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ قَتْلَ اَوْلَادِهِمْ شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ لِیُرْدُوْهُمْ وَ لِیَلْبِسُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ دِیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَا فَعَلُوْهُ فَذَرْهُمْ وَ مَا یَفْتَرُوْنَ۝۱۳۷

In the same way have their companions shown many unbelievers the killing of their children as desirable in order to ruin them and falsify their faith. If God had so willed they would never have done so. Leave them to their falsehoods.

وَ قَالُوْا هٰذِهٖۤ اَنْعَامٌ وَّ حَرْثٌ حِجْرٌ ۖۗ لَّا یَطْعَمُهَاۤ اِلَّا مَنْ نَّشَآءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَ اَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُوْرُهَا وَ اَنْعَامٌ لَّا یَذْكُرُوْنَ اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهَا افْتِرَآءً عَلَیْهِ ؕ سَیَجْزِیْهِمْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ۝۱۳۸

They also say: "These cattle and these crops are consecrated. None may eat of them other than those we permit," -- so they assert. "And the use of these cattle is forbidden for carrying burden." They do not pronounce the name of God on certain animals, inventing lies against Him. He will punish them for what they fabricate.

وَ قَالُوْا مَا فِیْ بُطُوْنِ هٰذِهِ الْاَنْعَامِ خَالِصَةٌ لِّذُكُوْرِنَا وَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلٰۤی اَزْوَاجِنَا ۚ وَ اِنْ یَّكُنْ مَّیْتَةً فَهُمْ فِیْهِ شُرَكَآءُ ؕ سَیَجْزِیْهِمْ وَصْفَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ حَكِیْمٌ عَلِیْمٌ۝۱۳۹

And they say: "Whatever is in the wombs of these cattle is only meant for men and forbidden our women; but in case it should be still-born both could eat it." God will punish them for what they assert. He is all-wise and all-knowing.

قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذِیْنَ قَتَلُوْۤا اَوْلَادَهُمْ سَفَهًۢا بِغَیْرِ عِلْمٍ وَّ حَرَّمُوْا مَا رَزَقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ افْتِرَآءً عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ قَدْ ضَلُّوْا وَ مَا كَانُوْا مُهْتَدِیْنَ۠۝۱۴۰

They will surely perish who kill their offspring in ignorance foolhardily, and forbid the food that God has given them by fabricating lies against God. Misguided are they surely, and will never come to guidance.
