وَ اِذْ اَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْۢ بَنِیْۤ اٰدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُوْرِهِمْ ذُرِّیَّتَهُمْ وَ اَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلٰۤی اَنْفُسِهِمْ اَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ؕ قَالُوْا بَلٰی ۛۚ شَهِدْنَا ۛۚ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ اِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هٰذَا غٰفِلِیْنَۙ۝۱۷۲

When your Lord brings forth from their loins the offspring of the children of Adam, He makes them witnesses over themselves, (and asks): "Am I not your Lord?" ´Indeed,´ they reply. ´We bear witness,´ -- lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "We were not aware of this;"

اَوْ تَقُوْلُوْۤا اِنَّمَاۤ اَشْرَكَ اٰبَآؤُنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ كُنَّا ذُرِّیَّةً مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ اَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ الْمُبْطِلُوْنَ۝۱۷۳

Or, lest they should say: "It were our fathers who had ascribed compeers to God; we are only their offspring. Will You destroy us for the deeds of those who dealt in vanities?"

وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْاٰیٰتِ وَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ۝۱۷۴

That is how We explain Our signs distinctly so that they may come back (to the right path).

وَ اتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ الَّذِیْۤ اٰتَیْنٰهُ اٰیٰتِنَا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهَا فَاَتْبَعَهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْغٰوِیْنَ۝۱۷۵

Relate to them the plight of the man whom We gave Our signs, but he passed them by, so that Satan came after him, and he went astray.

وَ لَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنٰهُ بِهَا وَ لٰكِنَّهٗۤ اَخْلَدَ اِلَی الْاَرْضِ وَ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهٗ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ ۚ اِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَیْهِ یَلْهَثْ اَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ یَلْهَثْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ۝۱۷۶

We wished to exalt him, but he loved baseness and followed his lust. His likeness is that of a dog who hangs out his tongue if you drive him away, and still hangs it out if you leave him alone. Such is the case of the people who deny Our signs. Narrate this history to them; they may haply reflect.

سَآءَ مَثَلَا ِ۟الْقَوْمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ كَانُوْا یَظْلِمُوْنَ۝۱۷۷

Evil is the case of those who deny Our signs and wrong themselves.

مَنْ یَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِیْ ۚ وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلْ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ۝۱۷۸

He alone is guided whom God shows the way; and whom He leads astray is surely lost.

وَ لَقَدْ ذَرَاْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِیْرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ ۖؗ لَهُمْ قُلُوْبٌ لَّا یَفْقَهُوْنَ بِهَا ؗ وَ لَهُمْ اَعْیُنٌ لَّا یُبْصِرُوْنَ بِهَا ؗ وَ لَهُمْ اٰذَانٌ لَّا یَسْمَعُوْنَ بِهَا ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ كَالْاَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ اَضَلُّ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْغٰفِلُوْنَ۝۱۷۹

Many of the jinns and human beings have We destined for Hell, who possess hearts but do not feel, have eyes but do not see, have ears but do not hear, like cattle, even worse than them. They are people unconcerned.

وَ لِلّٰهِ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰی فَادْعُوْهُ بِهَا ۪ وَ ذَرُوا الَّذِیْنَ یُلْحِدُوْنَ فِیْۤ اَسْمَآىِٕهٖ ؕ سَیُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۱۸۰

All the names of God are beautiful, so call Him by them; and leave those alone who act profanely towards His names: They will be retributed for their deeds.

وَ مِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَاۤ اُمَّةٌ یَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ بِهٖ یَعْدِلُوْنَ۠۝۱۸۱

Yet there are among those We have created people who lead (others) to the truth, and act justly in its light
