Read Surah Ghafir

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

مِثْلَ دَاْبِ قَوْمِ نُوْحٍ وَّ عَادٍ وَّ ثَمُوْدَ وَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ؕ وَ مَا اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ ظُلْمًا لِّلْعِبَادِ۝۳۱

Like the people of Noah, ´Ad and Thamud, and those that came after them. God does not want to be unjust to His creatures.

وَ یٰقَوْمِ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ عَلَیْكُمْ یَوْمَ التَّنَادِۙ۝۳۲

O my people, what I fear for you is the day of gathering, crying and calling,

یَوْمَ تُوَلُّوْنَ مُدْبِرِیْنَ ۚ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۚ وَ مَنْ یُّضْلِلِ اللّٰهُ فَمَا لَهٗ مِنْ هَادٍ۝۳۳

The day you will turn your backs and flee, with none to defend you against God. Whoever God allows to go astray has none to show him the way.

وَ لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ یُوْسُفُ مِنْ قَبْلُ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَمَا زِلْتُمْ فِیْ شَكٍّ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُمْ بِهٖ ؕ حَتّٰۤی اِذَا هَلَكَ قُلْتُمْ لَنْ یَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ رَسُوْلًا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُضِلُّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ مُّرْتَابُۚۖ۝۳۴

Joseph had indeed come to you before with clear proofs, but you did not cease to doubt what he had brought until he died, when you said: ´God will not send a prophet after him.´ That is how God leads the waster, the sceptic astray.

ِ۟الَّذِیْنَ یُجَادِلُوْنَ فِیْۤ اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ بِغَیْرِ سُلْطٰنٍ اَتٰىهُمْ ؕ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ وَ عِنْدَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یَطْبَعُ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ قَلْبِ مُتَكَبِّرٍ جَبَّارٍ۝۳۵

Those who dispute God´s revelations, with no authority having come to them, (are) greatly odious in the sight of God, and the sight of those who believe. That is how God seals every proud and perverse heart."

وَ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ یٰهَامٰنُ ابْنِ لِیْ صَرْحًا لَّعَلِّیْۤ اَبْلُغُ الْاَسْبَابَۙ۝۳۶

The Pharaoh said: "O Haman, build me a lofty tower that I may perhaps find the means

اَسْبَابَ السَّمٰوٰتِ فَاَطَّلِعَ اِلٰۤی اِلٰهِ مُوْسٰی وَ اِنِّیْ لَاَظُنُّهٗ كَاذِبًا ؕ وَ كَذٰلِكَ زُیِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوْٓءُ عَمَلِهٖ وَ صُدَّ عَنِ السَّبِیْلِ ؕ وَ مَا كَیْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ اِلَّا فِیْ تَبَابٍ۠۝۳۷

Of reaching the tracts of heaven and look at the god of Moses, though I think that he is a liar." Thus were the evil deeds of Pharaoh made to look attractive to him, and he was hindered from the path. So the stratagem of Pharaoh was bound to perish.

وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْۤ اٰمَنَ یٰقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوْنِ اَهْدِكُمْ سَبِیْلَ الرَّشَادِۚ۝۳۸

The man who believed said: "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the right path.

یٰقَوْمِ اِنَّمَا هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا مَتَاعٌ ؗ وَّ اِنَّ الْاٰخِرَةَ هِیَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ۝۳۹

O people, the life of this world is ephemeral; but enduring is the abode of the Hereafter.

مَنْ عَمِلَ سَیِّئَةً فَلَا یُجْزٰۤی اِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۚ وَ مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّنْ ذَكَرٍ اَوْ اُنْثٰی وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ یَدْخُلُوْنَ الْجَنَّةَ یُرْزَقُوْنَ فِیْهَا بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ۝۴۰

Whoever does evil will be requited in accordance with it; but whoever does right, whether man or woman, and is a believer, will enter Paradise, where they will have provision in abundance.
