Read Surah Az-Zumar

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَلَكَهٗ یَنَابِیْعَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ثُمَّ یُخْرِجُ بِهٖ زَرْعًا مُّخْتَلِفًا اَلْوَانُهٗ ثُمَّ یَهِیْجُ فَتَرٰىهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ یَجْعَلُهٗ حُطَامًا ؕ اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَذِكْرٰی لِاُولِی الْاَلْبَابِ۠۝۲۱

Do you not see that God sends down water from the sky, then makes it flow in rills on the earth, and brings forth corn from it which, having passed through changes of shade and colour, comes to ripen, and you see it autumnal yellow; then He reduces it to chaff. There are indeed lessons in this for those who are wise.

اَفَمَنْ شَرَحَ اللّٰهُ صَدْرَهٗ لِلْاِسْلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلٰی نُوْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ ؕ فَوَیْلٌ لِّلْقٰسِیَةِ قُلُوْبُهُمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ۝۲۲

Will he whose breast has been opened up to peace (not be) in luminescence from his Lord? Alas for those whose hearts have been hardened to God´s remembrance! They wander (astray) in clear error.

اَللّٰهُ نَزَّلَ اَحْسَنَ الْحَدِیْثِ كِتٰبًا مُّتَشَابِهًا مَّثَانِیَ ۖۗ تَقْشَعِرُّ مِنْهُ جُلُوْدُ الَّذِیْنَ یَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ ۚ ثُمَّ تَلِیْنُ جُلُوْدُهُمْ وَ قُلُوْبُهُمْ اِلٰی ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُدَی اللّٰهِ یَهْدِیْ بِهٖ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ۝۲۳

God has sent down the very best discourse, the Book conformable in its juxtapositions, which makes all of those who fear their Lord, shudder. So their hearts and bodies become receptive to the remembrance of God. This is the guidance of God with which He guides whosoever He will; but whosoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way.

اَفَمَنْ یَّتَّقِیْ بِوَجْهِهٖ سُوْٓءَ الْعَذَابِ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِ ؕ وَ قِیْلَ لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ ذُوْقُوْا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْسِبُوْنَ۝۲۴

Can he who will have to shield himself against the torment of the Day of Resurrection (be the same as one at peace)? The evil-doers will be told: "So taste what you earned."

كَذَّبَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَاَتٰىهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ۝۲۵

Those before them had denied, then punishment had overtaken them is from a quarter they did not suspect.

فَاَذَاقَهُمُ اللّٰهُ الْخِزْیَ فِی الْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا ۚ وَ لَعَذَابُ الْاٰخِرَةِ اَكْبَرُ ۘ لَوْ كَانُوْا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۶

Then God made them taste of disgrace in this life; and the torment of the life to come is greater, if they understand.

وَ لَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِیْ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَكَّرُوْنَۚ۝۲۷

We have given examples of every kind for men in this Qur´an so that they may contemplate:

قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا غَیْرَ ذِیْ عِوَجٍ لَّعَلَّهُمْ یَتَّقُوْنَ۝۲۸

A clear discourse which expounds all things without any obliquity, so that they may take heed for themselves.

ضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِیْهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشٰكِسُوْنَ وَ رَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ ؕ هَلْ یَسْتَوِیٰنِ مَثَلًا ؕ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ ۚ بَلْ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۹

God advances the example of a man who is owned (as slave in common) by a number of men at loggerheads, and another man who is owned by only one. Are these two alike in attribute? God be praised; yet many of them do not know.

اِنَّكَ مَیِّتٌ وَّ اِنَّهُمْ مَّیِّتُوْنَؗ۝۳۰

Verily you will die, and so will they.
