1 Surahs78 Versesالحزب 28
16:51
۞وَقَالَ
And Allah has said
ٱللَّهُ
And Allah has said
لَا
(Do) not
تَتَّخِذُوٓاۡ
take
إِلَـٰهَيۡنِ
[two] gods
ٱثۡنَيۡنِ‌ۖ
two
إِنَّمَا
only
هُوَ
He
إِلَـٰهٌ
(is) God
وٰحِدٌ‌ۖ
One
فَإِيَّـٰىَ
so Me Alone
فَٱرۡهَبُونِ
you fear [Me]
٥١
And Allāh has said, "Do not take for yourselves two1 deities. He [i.e., Allāh] is but one God, so fear only Me."
16:52
وَلَهُۥ
And to Him (belongs)
مَا
whatever
فِى
(is) in
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
وَلَهُ
and to Him
ٱلدِّينُ
(is due) the worship
وَاصِبًا‌ۚ
constantly
أَفَغَيۡرَ
Then is it other (than)
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
تَتَّقُونَ
you fear
٥٢
And to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him is [due] worship constantly. Then is it other than Allāh that you fear?
16:53
وَمَا
And whatever
بِكُم
you have
مِّن
of
نِّعۡمَةٍ
favor
فَمِنَ
(is) from
ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ
Allah
ثُمَّ
Then
إِذَا
when
مَسَّكُمُ
touches you
ٱلضُّرُّ
the adversity
فَإِلَيۡهِ
then to Him
تَجۡــَٔرُونَ
you cry for help
٥٣
And whatever you have of favor - it is from Allāh. Then when adversity touches you, to Him you cry for help.
16:54
ثُمَّ
Then
إِذَا
when
كَشَفَ
He removes
ٱلضُّرَّ
the adversity
عَنكُمۡ
from you
إِذَا
behold
فَرِيقٌ
A group
مِّنكُم
of you
بِرَبِّهِمۡ
with their Lord
يُشۡرِكُونَ
associate others
٥٤
Then when He removes the adversity from you, at once a party of you associates others with their Lord
16:55
لِيَكۡفُرُواۡ
So as to deny
بِمَآ
that which
ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمۡ‌ۚ
We have given them
فَتَمَتَّعُواۡ‌ۖ
Then enjoy yourselves
فَسَوۡفَ
soon
تَعۡلَمُونَ
you will know
٥٥
So they will deny what We have given them. Then enjoy yourselves, for you are going to know.
16:56
وَيَجۡعَلُونَ
And they assign
لِمَا
to what
لَا
not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
they know
نَصِيبًا
a portion
مِّمَّا
of what
رَزَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ‌ۗ
We have provided them
تَٱللَّهِ
By Allah
لَتُسۡــَٔلُنَّ
surely you will be asked
عَمَّا
about what
كُنتُمۡ
you used (to)
تَفۡتَرُونَ
invent
٥٦
And they assign to what they do not know1 [i.e., false deities] a portion of that which We have provided them. By Allāh, you will surely be questioned about what you used to invent.
16:57
وَيَجۡعَلُونَ
And they assign
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
ٱلۡبَنَـٰتِ
daughters
سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ‌ۙ
Glory be to Him
وَلَهُم
And for them
مَّا
(is) what
يَشۡتَهُونَ
they desire
٥٧
And they attribute to Allāh daughters1 - exalted is He - and for them is what they desire [i.e., sons].
16:58
وَإِذَا
And when
بُشِّرَ
is given good news
أَحَدُهُم
(to) one of them
بِٱلۡأُنثَىٰ
of a female
ظَلَّ
turns
وَجۡهُهُۥ
his face
مُسۡوَدًّا
dark
وَهُوَ
and he
كَظِيمٌ
suppresses grief
٥٨
And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.
16:59
يَتَوٰرَىٰ
He hides himself
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
the people
مِن
(because) of
سُوٓءِ
the evil
مَا
of what
بُشِّرَ
he has been given good news
بِهِۦٓ‌ۚ
about
أَيُمۡسِكُهُۥ
Should he keep it
عَلَىٰ
in
هُونٍ
humiliation
أَمۡ
or
يَدُسُّهُۥ
bury it
فِى
in
ٱلتُّرَابِ‌ۗ
the dust
أَلَا
Unquestionably
سَآءَ
evil
مَا
(is) what
يَحۡكُمُونَ
they decide
٥٩
He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide.
16:60
لِلَّذِينَ
For those who
لَا
(do) not
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
believe
بِٱلۡأَخِرَةِ
in the Hereafter
مَثَلُ
(is) a similitude
ٱلسَّوۡءِ‌ۖ
(of) the evil
وَلِلَّهِ
and for Allah
ٱلۡمَثَلُ
(is) the similitude
ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ‌ۚ
the Highest
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱلۡعَزِيزُ
(is) the All-Mighty
ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
All-Wise
٦٠
For those who do not believe in the Hereafter is the description [i.e., an attribute] of evil;1 and for Allāh is the highest attribute. And He is Exalted in Might, the Wise.
16:61
وَلَوۡ
And if
يُؤَاخِذُ
Allah were to seize
ٱللَّهُ
Allah were to seize
ٱلنَّاسَ
the mankind
بِظُلۡمِهِم
for their wrongdoing
مَّا
not
تَرَكَ
He (would) have left
عَلَيۡهَا
upon it
مِن
any
دَآبَّةٍ
moving creature
وَلَـٰكِن
but
يُؤَخِّرُهُمۡ
He defers them
إِلَىٰٓ
for
أَجَلٍ
a term
مُّسَمًّى‌ۖ
appointed
فَإِذَا
Then when
جَآءَ
comes
أَجَلُهُمۡ
their terms
لَا
not
يَسۡتَــٔۡخِرُونَ
they (will) remain behind
سَاعَةً‌ۖ
an hour
وَلَا
and not
يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ
they can advance (it)
٦١
And if Allāh were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon it [i.e., the earth] any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
16:62
وَيَجۡعَلُونَ
And they assign
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
مَا
what
يَكۡرَهُونَ
they dislike
وَتَصِفُ
and assert
أَلۡسِنَتُهُمُ
their tongues
ٱلۡكَذِبَ
the lie
أَنَّ
that
لَهُمُ
for them
ٱلۡحُسۡنَىٰ‌ۖ
(is) the best
لَا
No
جَرَمَ
doubt
أَنَّ
that
لَهُمُ
for them
ٱلنَّارَ
(is) the Fire
وَأَنَّهُم
and that they
مُّفۡرَطُونَ
(will) be abandoned
٦٢
And they attribute to Allāh that which they dislike [i.e., daughters], and their tongues assert the lie that they will have the best [from Him]. Assuredly, they will have the Fire, and they will be [therein] neglected.1
16:63
تَٱللَّهِ
By Allah
لَقَدۡ
certainly
أَرۡسَلۡنَآ
We have sent
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أُمَمٍ
nations
مِّن
before you
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
فَزَيَّنَ
but made fair-seeming
لَهُمُ
to them
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنُ
the Shaitaan
أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ
their deeds
فَهُوَ
So he
وَلِيُّهُمُ
(is) their ally
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
today
وَلَهُمۡ
and for them
عَذَابٌ
(is) a punishment
أَلِيمٌ
painful
٦٣
By Allāh, We did certainly send [messengers] to nations before you, but Satan made their deeds attractive to them. And he is their [i.e., the disbelievers] ally today [as well], and they will have a painful punishment.
16:64
وَمَآ
And not
أَنزَلۡنَا
We revealed
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
إِلَّا
except
لِتُبَيِّنَ
that you make clear
لَهُمُ
to them
ٱلَّذِى
that which
ٱخۡتَلَفُواۡ
they differed
فِيهِ‌ۙ
in it
وَهُدًى
and (as) a guidance
وَرَحۡمَةً
and mercy
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
who believe
٦٤
And We have not revealed to you the Book, [O Muḥammad], except for you to make clear to them that wherein they have differed and as guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
16:65
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
أَنزَلَ
has sent down
مِنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءً
water
فَأَحۡيَا
then gives life
بِهِ
by it
ٱلۡأَرۡضَ
(to) the earth
بَعۡدَ
after
مَوۡتِهَآ‌ۚ
its death
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَةً
(is) surely a Sign
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يَسۡمَعُونَ
who listen
٦٥
And Allāh has sent down rain from the sky and given life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who listen.
16:66
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
لَكُمۡ
for you
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ
the cattle
لَعِبۡرَةً‌ۖ
(is) a lesson
نُّسۡقِيكُم
We give you to drink
مِّمَّا
from what
فِى
(is) in
بُطُونِهِۦ
their bellies
مِنۢ
from
بَيۡنِ
between
فَرۡثٍ
bowels
وَدَمٍ
and blood
لَّبَنًا
milk
خَالِصًا
pure
سَآئِغًا
palatable
لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ
to the drinkers
٦٦
And indeed, for you in grazing livestock is a lesson. We give you drink from what is in their bellies - between excretion and blood - pure milk, palatable to drinkers.
16:67
وَمِن
And from
ثَمَرٰتِ
fruits
ٱلنَّخِيلِ
the date-palm
وَٱلۡأَعۡنَـٰبِ
and the grapes
تَتَّخِذُونَ
you take
مِنۡهُ
from it
سَكَرًا
intoxicant
وَرِزۡقًا
and a provision
حَسَنًا‌ۗ
good
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَةً
(is) surely a Sign
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يَعۡقِلُونَ
who use reason
٦٧
And from the fruits of the palm trees and grapevines you take intoxicant and good provision.1 Indeed in that is a sign for a people who reason.
16:68
وَأَوۡحَىٰ
And inspired
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
إِلَى
to
ٱلنَّحۡلِ
the bee
أَنِ
[that]
ٱتَّخِذِى
Take
مِنَ
among
ٱلۡجِبَالِ
the mountains
بُيُوتًا
houses
وَمِنَ
and among
ٱلشَّجَرِ
the trees
وَمِمَّا
and in what
يَعۡرِشُونَ
they construct
٦٨
And your Lord inspired to the bee, "Take for yourself among the mountains, houses [i.e., hives], and among the trees and [in] that which they construct.
16:69
ثُمَّ
Then
كُلِى
eat
مِن
from
كُلِّ
all
ٱلثَّمَرٰتِ
the fruits
فَٱسۡلُكِى
and follow
سُبُلَ
(the) ways
رَبِّكِ
(of) your Lord
ذُلُلاً‌ۚ
made smooth
يَخۡرُجُ
Comes forth
مِنۢ
from
بُطُونِهَا
their bellies
شَرَابٌ
a drink
مُّخۡتَلِفٌ
(of) varying
أَلۡوٰنُهُۥ
colors
فِيهِ
in it
شِفَآءٌ
(is) a healing
لِّلنَّاسِ‌ۗ
for the mankind
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَةً
(is) surely a Sign
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
who reflect
٦٩
Then eat from all the fruits1 and follow the ways of your Lord laid down [for you]." There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for people. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.
16:70
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
خَلَقَكُمۡ
created you
ثُمَّ
then
يَتَوَفَّـٰكُمۡ‌ۚ
will cause you to die
وَمِنكُم
And among you
مَّن
(is one) who
يُرَدُّ
is sent back
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أَرۡذَلِ
the worst
ٱلۡعُمُرِ
(of) the age
لِكَىۡ
so that
لَا
not
يَعۡلَمَ
he will know
بَعۡدَ
after
عِلۡمٍ
knowledge
شَيۡــًٔا‌ۚ
a thing
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَلِيمٌ
(is) All-Knowing
قَدِيرٌ
All-Powerful
٧٠
And Allāh created you; then He will take you in death. And among you is he who is reversed to the most decrepit [old] age so that he will not know, after [having had] knowledge, a thing. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Competent.
16:71
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
فَضَّلَ
has favored
بَعۡضَكُمۡ
some of you
عَلَىٰ
over
بَعۡضٍ
others
فِى
in
ٱلرِّزۡقِ‌ۚ
[the] provision
فَمَا
But not
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
فُضِّلُواۡ
were favored
بِرَآدِّى
would hand over
رِزۡقِهِمۡ
their provision
عَلَىٰ
to
مَا
whom
مَلَكَتۡ
possess
أَيۡمَـٰنُهُمۡ
their right hands
فَهُمۡ
so (that) they
فِيهِ
(are) in it
سَوَآءٌ‌ۚ
equal
أَفَبِنِعۡمَةِ
Then is it the Favor
ٱللَّهِ
of Allah
يَجۡحَدُونَ
they reject
٧١
And Allāh has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored [i.e., given more] would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess [i.e., slaves] so they would be equal to them therein.1 Then is it the favor of Allāh they reject?
16:72
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
جَعَلَ
(has) made
لَكُم
for you
مِّنۡ
from
أَنفُسِكُمۡ
yourselves
أَزۡوٰجًا
spouses
وَجَعَلَ
and has made
لَكُم
for you
مِّنۡ
from
أَزۡوٰجِكُم
your spouses
بَنِينَ
sons
وَحَفَدَةً
and grandsons
وَرَزَقَكُم
and has provided for you
مِّنَ
from
ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ‌ۚ
the good things
أَفَبِٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ
Then in falsehood do
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
they believe
وَبِنِعۡمَتِ
and the Favor
ٱللَّهِ
of Allah
هُمۡ
they
يَكۡفُرُونَ
disbelieve
٧٢
And Allāh has made for you from yourselves mates and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren and has provided for you from the good things. Then in falsehood do they believe and in the favor of Allāh they disbelieve?
16:73
وَيَعۡبُدُونَ
And they worship
مِن
other than
دُونِ
other than
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مَا
which
لَا
not
يَمۡلِكُ
possesses
لَهُمۡ
for them
رِزۡقًا
any provision
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ
and the earth
شَيۡــًٔا
[anything]
وَلَا
and not
يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
they are able
٧٣
And they worship besides Allāh that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable.
16:74
فَلَا
So (do) not
تَضۡرِبُواۡ
put forth
لِلَّهِ
for Allah
ٱلۡأَمۡثَالَ‌ۚ
the similitude
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يَعۡلَمُ
knows
وَأَنتُمۡ
and you
لَا
(do) not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٧٤
So do not assert similarities to Allāh.1 Indeed, Allāh knows and you do not know.
16:75
۞ضَرَبَ
Allah sets forth
ٱللَّهُ
Allah sets forth
مَثَلاً
the example
عَبۡدًا
(of) a slave
مَّمۡلُوكًا
(who is) owned
لَّا
not
يَقۡدِرُ
he has power
عَلَىٰ
on
شَىۡءٍ
anything
وَمَن
and (one) whom
رَّزَقۡنَـٰهُ
We provided him
مِنَّا
from Us
رِزۡقًا
a provision
حَسَنًا
good
فَهُوَ
so he
يُنفِقُ
spends
مِنۡهُ
from it
سِرًّا
secretly
وَجَهۡرًا‌ۖ
and publicly
هَلۡ
Can
يَسۡتَوُۥنَ‌ۚ
they be equal
ٱلۡحَمۡدُ
All praise
لِلَّهِ‌ۚ
(is) for Allah
بَلۡ
Nay
أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ
but most of them
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٧٥
Allāh presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allāh! But most of them do not know.
16:76
وَضَرَبَ
And Allah sets forth
ٱللَّهُ
And Allah sets forth
مَثَلاً
an example
رَّجُلَيۡنِ
(of) two men
أَحَدُهُمَآ
one of them
أَبۡكَمُ
(is) dumb
لَا
not
يَقۡدِرُ
he has power
عَلَىٰ
on
شَىۡءٍ
anything
وَهُوَ
while he
كَلٌّ
(is) a burden
عَلَىٰ
on
مَوۡلَـٰهُ
his master
أَيۡنَمَا
Wherever
يُوَجِّههُّ
he directs him
لَا
not
يَأۡتِ
he comes
بِخَيۡرٍ‌ۖ
with any good
هَلۡ
Is
يَسۡتَوِى
equal
هُوَ
he
وَمَن
and (the one) who
يَأۡمُرُ
commands
بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ‌ۙ
[of] justice
وَهُوَ
and he
عَلَىٰ
(is) on
صِرٰطٍ
a path
مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ
straight
٧٦
And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?
16:77
وَلِلَّهِ
And to Allah (belongs)
غَيۡبُ
(the) unseen
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(of) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ
and the earth
وَمَآ
And not
أَمۡرُ
(is the) matter
ٱلسَّاعَةِ
(of) the Hour
إِلَّا
but
كَلَمۡحِ
as a twinkling
ٱلۡبَصَرِ
(of) the eye
أَوۡ
or
هُوَ
it
أَقۡرَبُ‌ۚ
(is) nearer
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَلَىٰ
on
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
قَدِيرٌ
(is) All-Powerful
٧٧
And to Allāh belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.
16:78
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
أَخۡرَجَكُم
brought you forth
مِّنۢ
from
بُطُونِ
the wombs
أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمۡ
(of) your mothers
لَا
not
تَعۡلَمُونَ
knowing
شَيۡــًٔا
anything
وَجَعَلَ
and made
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلسَّمۡعَ
the hearing
وَٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرَ
and the sight
وَٱلۡأَفۡــِٔدَةَ‌ۙ
and the hearts
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَشۡكُرُونَ
give thanks
٧٨
And Allāh has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect] that perhaps you would be grateful.
16:79
أَلَمۡ
Do not
يَرَوۡاۡ
they see
إِلَى
towards
ٱلطَّيۡرِ
the birds
مُسَخَّرٰتٍ

in
جَوِّ
the midst
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
(of) the sky
مَا
None
يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ
holds them up
إِلَّا
except
ٱللَّهُ‌ۗ
Allah
إِنَّ
Indeed
فِى
in
ذٰلِكَ
that
لَأَيَـٰتٍ
(are) Signs
لِّقَوۡمٍ
for a people
يُؤۡمِنُونَ
who believe
٧٩
Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? None holds them up except Allāh. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
16:80
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
جَعَلَ
(has) made
لَكُم
for you
مِّنۢ
[from]
بُيُوتِكُمۡ
your homes
سَكَنًا
a resting place
وَجَعَلَ
and made
لَكُم
for you
مِّن
from
جُلُودِ
the hides
ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمِ
(of) the cattle
بُيُوتًا
tents
تَسۡتَخِفُّونَهَا
which you find light
يَوۡمَ
(on) the day
ظَعۡنِكُمۡ
(of) your travel
وَيَوۡمَ
and the day
إِقَامَتِكُمۡ‌ۙ
(of) your encampment
وَمِنۡ
and from
أَصۡوَافِهَا
their wool
وَأَوۡبَارِهَا
and their fur
وَأَشۡعَارِهَآ
and their hair
أَثَـٰثًا
(is) furnishing
وَمَتَـٰعًا
and a provision
إِلَىٰ
for
حِينٍ
a time
٨٠
And Allāh has made for you from your homes a place of rest and made for you from the hides of the animals tents which you find light on your day of travel and your day of encampment; and from their wool, fur and hair is furnishing and enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.
16:81
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
جَعَلَ
(has) made
لَكُم
for you
مِّمَّا
from what
خَلَقَ
He created
ظِلَـٰلاً
shades
وَجَعَلَ

لَكُم

from
ٱلۡجِبَالِ
the mountains

وَجَعَلَ
and (has) made
لَكُمۡ
for you
سَرٰبِيلَ
garments
تَقِيكُمُ
to protect you
ٱلۡحَرَّ
(from) the heat
وَسَرٰبِيلَ
and garments
تَقِيكُم
to protect you
بَأۡسَكُمۡ‌ۚ
from your (mutual) violence
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يُتِمُّ
He completes
نِعۡمَتَهُۥ
His Favor
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
upon you
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تُسۡلِمُونَ
submit
٨١
And Allāh has made for you, from that which He has created, shadows [i.e., shade] and has made for you from the mountains, shelters and has made for you garments which protect you from the heat and garments [i.e., coats of mail] which protect you from your [enemy in] battle. Thus does He complete His favor upon you that you might submit [to Him].
16:82
فَإِن
Then, if
تَوَلَّوۡاۡ
they turn away
فَإِنَّمَا
then only
عَلَيۡكَ
upon you
ٱلۡبَلَـٰغُ
(is) the conveyance
ٱلۡمُبِينُ
the clear
٨٢
But if they turn away, [O Muḥammad] - then only upon you is [responsibility for] clear notification.
16:83
يَعۡرِفُونَ
They recognize
نِعۡمَتَ
(the) Favor
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
ثُمَّ
then
يُنكِرُونَهَا
they deny it
وَأَكۡثَرُهُمُ
And most of them
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ
(are) the disbelievers
٨٣
They recognize the favor of Allāh; then they deny it. And most of them are disbelievers.
16:84
وَيَوۡمَ
And the Day
نَبۡعَثُ
We will resurrect
مِن

to those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ
will be asked to make amends
٨٤
And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect from every nation a witness [i.e., their prophet]. Then it will not be permitted to the disbelievers [to apologize or make excuses], nor will they be asked to appease [Allāh].
16:85
وَإِذَا
And when
رَءَا
(will) see
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
wronged
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment

then not
يُخَفَّفُ
it will be lightened
عَنۡهُمۡ
for them
وَلَا

٨٥
And when those who wronged see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.
16:86
وَإِذَا
And when
رَءَا
(will) see
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
أَشۡرَكُواۡ
associated partners with Allah
شُرَكَآءَهُمۡ
their partners
قَالُواۡ
They will say
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ
these
شُرَكَآؤُنَا
(are) our partners
ٱلَّذِينَ
those whom
كُنَّا
we used to
نَدۡعُواۡ
invoke
مِن
besides You
دُونِكَ‌ۖ

فَأَلۡقَوۡاۡ
But they (will) throw back
إِلَيۡهِمُ
at them
ٱلۡقَوۡلَ
(their) word
إِنَّكُمۡ
Indeed, you
لَكَـٰذِبُونَ
(are) surely liars
٨٦
And when those who associated others with Allāh see their "partners," they will say, "Our Lord, these are our partners [to You] whom we used to invoke [in worship] besides You." But they will throw at them the statement, "Indeed, you are liars."
16:87
وَأَلۡقَوۡاۡ
And they (will) offer
إِلَى
to
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
(on) that Day
ٱلسَّلَمَ‌ۖ
the submission
وَضَلَّ
and (is) lost
عَنۡهُم
from them
مَّا
what
كَانُواۡ
they used (to)
يَفۡتَرُونَ
invent
٨٧
And they will impart to Allāh that Day [their] submission, and lost from them is what they used to invent.
16:88
ٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
وَصَدُّواۡ
and hindered
عَن
from
سَبِيلِ
(the) way
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
زِدۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We will increase them
عَذَابًا
(in) punishment
فَوۡقَ
over
ٱلۡعَذَابِ
punishment
بِمَا
because
كَانُواۡ
they used (to)
يُفۡسِدُونَ
spread corruption
٨٨
Those who disbelieved and averted [others] from the way of Allāh - We will increase them in punishment over [their] punishment for what corruption they were causing.
16:89
وَيَوۡمَ
And the Day
نَبۡعَثُ
We will resurrect
فِى

بِكَ
you
شَهِيدًا
(as) a witness
عَلَىٰ
over
هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ‌ۚ
these
وَنَزَّلۡنَا
And We sent down
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ
the Book
تِبۡيَـٰنًا
(as) a clarification
لِّكُلِّ
of every

and a guidance
وَرَحۡمَةً
and mercy
وَبُشۡرَىٰ
and glad tidings
لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ
for the Muslims
٨٩
And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect among every nation a witness over them from themselves [i.e., their prophet]. And We will bring you, [O Muḥammad], as a witness over these [i.e., your nation]. And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.1
16:90
۞إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

justice

وَإِيتَآىِٕ
and giving

and the oppression
يَعِظُكُمۡ
He admonishes you
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَذَكَّرُونَ
take heed
٩٠
Indeed, Allāh orders justice and good conduct and giving [help] to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.
16:91
وَأَوۡفُواۡ
And fulfil
بِعَهۡدِ
the covenant
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

٩١
And fulfill the covenant of Allāh when you have taken it, [O believers], and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allāh, over you, a security [i.e., witness]. Indeed, Allāh knows what you do.
16:92
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَكُونُواۡ
be
كَٱلَّتِى
like her who
نَقَضَتۡ
untwists

strength

you take
أَيۡمَـٰنَكُمۡ
your oaths

(as) a deception
بَيۡنَكُمۡ

Only

Allah tests you

Allah tests you

(of) the Resurrection
مَا
what
كُنتُمۡ
you used (to)
فِيهِ
in it

٩٢
And do not be like she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong [by] taking your oaths as [means of] deceit between you because one community is more plentiful [in number or wealth] than another community.1 Allāh only tries you thereby. And He will surely make clear to you on the Day of Resurrection that over which you used to differ.
16:93
وَلَوۡ
And if
شَآءَ
Allah (had) willed
ٱللَّهُ
Allah (had) willed
لَجَعَلَكُمۡ
surely He (could) have made you

He lets go astray

وَلَتُسۡــَٔلُنَّ
And surely you will be questioned
عَمَّا
about what
كُنتُمۡ
you used (to)
تَعۡمَلُونَ

٩٣
And if Allāh had willed, He could have made you [of] one religion, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.1 And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.
16:94
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَتَّخِذُوٓاۡ
take
أَيۡمَـٰنَكُمۡ
your oaths

ٱللَّهِ‌ۖ
(of) Allah
وَلَكُمۡ
and for you
عَذَابٌ

عَظِيمٌ
great
٩٤
And do not take your oaths as [means of] deceit between you, lest a foot slip after it was [once] firm, and you would taste evil [in this world] for what [people] you diverted from the way of Allāh,1 and you would have [in the Hereafter] a great punishment.
16:95
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَشۡتَرُواۡ
exchange
بِعَهۡدِ
the covenant
ٱللَّهِ

And do not exchange the covenant of Allāh for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allāh is best for you, if only you could know.
16:96
مَا
Whatever
عِندَكُمۡ
(is) with you
يَنفَدُ‌ۖ
will be exhausted
وَمَا

Whatever you have will end, but what Allāh has is lasting. And We will surely give those who were patient their reward according to the best of what they used to do.

Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.
16:98
فَإِذَا
So when

٩٨
So when you recite the Qur’ān, [first] seek refuge in Allāh from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].

their Lord
يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

٩٩
Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord.
16:100
إِنَّمَا
Only
سُلۡطَـٰنُهُۥ
his authority
عَلَى

His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allāh.
16:101

And when

وَٱللَّهُ

Nay

And when We substitute a verse in place of a verse - and Allāh is most knowing of what He sends down - they say, "You, [O Muḥammad], are but an inventor [of lies]." But most of them do not know.

16:103

while this

clear
١٠٣
And We certainly know that they say, "It is only a human being who teaches him [i.e., the Prophet (ﷺ)]." The tongue of the one they refer to is foreign,1 and this [recitation, i.e., Qur’ān] is [in] a clear Arabic language.
16:104

Allah will guide them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah will guide them
وَلَهُمۡ

عَذَابٌ

أَلِيمٌ
painful
١٠٤
Indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of Allāh - Allāh will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.
16:105
إِنَّمَا
Only

They only invent falsehood who do not believe in the verses of Allāh, and it is those who are the liars.

Whoever disbelieves in [i.e., denies] Allāh after his belief...1 except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allāh, and for them is a great punishment;
16:107
ذٰلِكَ
That (is)
بِأَنَّهُمُ
because

That is because they preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter and that Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
