42. Surah Ash-Shuraa – Verses 41–53

And whoever retaliates after having been wronged - those have not upon them any cause [for blame].

— Saheeh International

The cause is only against the ones who wrong the people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment.

— Saheeh International

And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [worthy] of resolve.1

— Saheeh International

And he whom Allāh sends astray - for him there is no protector beyond Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying, "Is there for return [to the former world] any way?"

— Saheeh International

And you will see them being exposed to it [i.e., the Fire], humbled from humiliation, looking from [behind] a covert glance. And those who had believed will say, "Indeed, the [true] losers are the ones who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, the wrongdoers are in an enduring punishment."

— Saheeh International

And there will not be for them any allies to aid them other than Allāh. And whoever Allāh sends astray - for him there is no way.

— Saheeh International

Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allāh of which there is no repelling. No refuge will you have that Day, nor for you will there be any denial.1

— Saheeh International

But if they turn away - then We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a guardian; upon you is only [the duty of] notification. And indeed, when We let man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices in it; but if evil afflicts him for what his hands have put forth, then indeed, man is ungrateful.

— Saheeh International

To Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what He wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males.

— Saheeh International

Or He makes them [both] males and females, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent.

— Saheeh International

And it is not for any human being that Allāh should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition or that He sends a messenger [i.e., angel] to reveal, by His permission, what He wills. Indeed, He is Most High and Wise.

— Saheeh International

And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command [i.e., the Qur’ān]. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you guide to a straight path -

— Saheeh International

The path of Allāh, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Unquestionably, to Allāh do [all] matters evolve [i.e., return].
