Him

to Him
ٱلۡمَصِيرُ
(is) the final return

those who

so (let) not
يَغۡرُرۡكَ
deceive you
تَقَلُّبُهُمۡ
their movement
فِى
in
ٱلۡبِلَـٰدِ
the cities

No one disputes concerning the signs of Allāh except those who disbelieve, so be not deceived by their [uninhibited] movement throughout the land.
40:5
كَذَّبَتۡ
Denied
قَبۡلَهُمۡ
before them
قَوۡمُ
(the) people

after them
وَهَمَّتۡ
and plotted
كُلُّ
every
أُمَّةِۭ
nation
بِرَسُولِهِمۡ
against their Messenger

the truth

So I seized them

My penalty
٥
The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
40:6
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
حَقَّتۡ
has been justified
كَلِمَتُ
(the) Word
رَبِّكَ

those who
كَفَرُوٓاۡ
disbelieved
أَنَّهُمۡ
that they
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are) companions
ٱلنَّارِ
(of) the Fire
٦
And thus has the word [i.e., decree] of your Lord come into effect upon those who disbelieved that they are companions of the Fire.

Those who
يَحۡمِلُونَ
bear

in Him
وَيَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ
and ask forgiveness
لِلَّذِينَ
for those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
وَسِعۡتَ
You encompass
كُلَّ
all

things
رَّحۡمَةً
(by Your) Mercy
وَعِلۡمًا

فَٱغۡفِرۡ
so forgive

سَبِيلَكَ
Your Way
وَقِهِمۡ
and save them (from)
عَذَابَ
(the) punishment
ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
(of) the Hellfire
٧
Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allāh] with praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask forgiveness for those who have believed, [saying], "Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your way and protect them from the punishment of Hellfire.
40:8
رَبَّنَا
Our Lord
وَأَدۡخِلۡهُمۡ
And admit them
جَنَّـٰتِ
(to) Gardens
عَدۡنٍ
(of) Eden
ٱلَّتِى
which
وَعَدتَّهُمۡ
You have promised them
وَمَن
and whoever
صَلَحَ
(was) righteous
مِنۡ
among
ءَابَآئِهِمۡ
their fathers
وَأَزۡوٰجِهِمۡ
and their spouses
وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِهِمۡۚ
and their offspring
إِنَّكَ
Indeed You
أَنتَ
You
ٱلۡعَزِيزُ
(are) the All-Mighty
ٱلۡحَكِيمُ
the All-Wise
٨
Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their forefathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
40:9
وَقِهِمُ
And protect them
ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِۚ
(from) the evils
وَمَن
And whoever
تَقِ
you protect
ٱلسَّيِّـَٔـاتِ
(from) the evils
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
that Day
فَقَدۡ
then verily
رَحِمۡتَهُۥۚ
You have bestowed mercy on him
وَذٰلِكَ
And that
هُوَ
[it]
ٱلۡفَوۡزُ
(is) the success
ٱلۡعَظِيمُ
the great
٩
And protect them from the evil consequences [of their deeds]. And he whom You protect from evil consequences that Day - You will have given him mercy. And that is the great attainment."
40:10
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
يُنَادَوۡنَ
will be cried out to them
لَمَقۡتُ
Certainly Allah's hatred
ٱللَّهِ
Certainly Allah's hatred
أَكۡبَرُ
(was) greater
مِن
than
مَّقۡتِكُمۡ
your hatred
أَنفُسَكُمۡ
(of) yourselves
إِذۡ
when
تُدۡعَوۡنَ
you were called
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡإِيمَـٰنِ
the faith
فَتَكۡفُرُونَ
and you disbelieved
١٠
Indeed, those who disbelieve will be addressed, "The hatred of Allāh for you was [even] greater than your hatred of yourselves [this Day in Hell] when you were invited to faith, but you disbelieved [i.e., refused]."
40:11
قَالُواۡ
They (will) say
رَبَّنَآ
Our Lord
أَمَتَّنَا
You gave us death
ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ
twice
وَأَحۡيَيۡتَنَا
and You gave us life
ٱثۡنَتَيۡنِ
twice
فَٱعۡتَرَفۡنَا
and we confess
بِذُنُوبِنَا
our sins
فَهَلۡ
So is (there)
إِلَىٰ
to
خُرُوجٍ
get out
مِّن
any
سَبِيلٍ
way
١١
They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit any way?"
40:12
ذٰلِكُم
That
بِأَنَّهُۥٓ
(is) because
إِذَا
when
دُعِىَ
Allah was invoked
ٱللَّهُ
Allah was invoked
وَحۡدَهُۥ
Alone
كَفَرۡتُمۡۖ
you disbelieved
وَإِن
but if
يُشۡرَكۡ
(others) were associated
بِهِۦ
with Him
تُؤۡمِنُواۡۚ
you believed
فَٱلۡحُكۡمُ
So the judgment
لِلَّهِ
(is) with Allah
ٱلۡعَلِىِّ
the Most High
ٱلۡكَبِيرِ
the Most Great
١٢
[They will be told], "That is because, when Allāh was called upon alone, you disbelieved; but if others were associated with Him, you believed. So the judgement is with Allāh, the Most High, the Grand."
40:13
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
يُرِيكُمۡ
shows you
ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ
His Signs
وَيُنَزِّلُ
and sends down
لَكُم
for you
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
رِزۡقًاۚ
provision
وَمَا
But (does) not
يَتَذَكَّرُ
take heed
إِلَّا
except
مَن
(one) who
يُنِيبُ
turns
١٣
It is He who shows you His signs and sends down to you from the sky, provision. But none will remember except he who turns back [in repentance].
40:14
فَٱدۡعُواۡ
So invoke
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مُخۡلِصِينَ
(being) sincere
لَهُ
to Him
ٱلدِّينَ
(in) the religion
وَلَوۡ
even though
كَرِهَ
dislike (it)
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ
the disbelievers
١٤
So invoke Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, although the disbelievers dislike it.
40:15

[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command [i.e., revelation] upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.

The Day they come forth nothing concerning them will be concealed from Allāh. To whom belongs [all] sovereignty this Day? To Allāh, the One, the Prevailing.1
40:17
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
This Day

every

And warn them, [O Muḥammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.

And Allāh judges with truth, while those they invoke1 besides Him judge not with anything. Indeed, Allāh - He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
40:21
۞أَوَلَمۡ
Do not
يَسِيرُواۡ
they travel
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
فَيَنظُرُواۡ
and see
كَيۡفَ
how
كَانَ
was
عَـٰقِبَةُ
(the) end
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
كَانُواۡ
were
مِن
before them
قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ
before them
كَانُواۡ
They were
هُمۡ
[they]
أَشَدَّ
superior
مِنۡهُمۡ
to them
قُوَّةً
(in) strength
وَءَاثَارًا
and (in) impressions
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
فَأَخَذَهُمُ
but Allah seized them
ٱللَّهُ
but Allah seized them
بِذُنُوبِهِمۡ
for their sins
وَمَا
and not
كَانَ
was
لَهُم
for them
مِّنَ
against
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مِن
any
وَاقٍ
protector
٢١
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those who were before them? They were greater than them in strength and in impression on the land, but Allāh seized them for their sins. And they had not from Allāh any protector.
40:22
ذٰلِكَ
That
بِأَنَّهُمۡ
(was) because [they]
كَانَت
used to come to them
تَّأۡتِيهِمۡ
used to come to them
رُسُلُهُم
their Messengers
بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
with clear proofs
فَكَفَرُواۡ
but they disbelieved
فَأَخَذَهُمُ
So Allah seized them
ٱللَّهُۚ
So Allah seized them
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
قَوِىٌّ
(is) All-Strong
شَدِيدُ
severe
ٱلۡعِقَابِ
(in) punishment
٢٢
That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allāh seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.
40:23
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
بِـَٔـايَـٰتِنَا
with Our Signs
وَسُلۡطَـٰنٍ
and an authority
مُّبِينٍ
clear
٢٣
And We did certainly send Moses with Our signs and a clear authority1
40:24
إِلَىٰ
To
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
Firaun
وَهَـٰمَـٰنَ
Haman
وَقَـٰرُونَ
and Qarun
فَقَالُواۡ
but they said
سَـٰحِرٌ
A magician
كَذَّابٌ
a liar
٢٤
To Pharaoh, Hāmān and Qārūn, but they said, "[He is] a magician and a liar."
40:25
فَلَمَّا
Then when
جَآءَهُم
he brought to them
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
the truth
مِنۡ
from
عِندِنَا
Us
قَالُواۡ
they said
ٱقۡتُلُوٓاۡ
Kill
أَبۡنَآءَ
(the) sons
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
مَعَهُۥ
with him
وَٱسۡتَحۡيُواۡ
and let live
نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ
their women
وَمَا
And not
كَيۡدُ
(is the) plot
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
(of) the disbelievers
إِلَّا
but
فِى
in
ضَلَـٰلٍ
error
٢٥
And when he brought them the truth from Us, they said, "Kill the sons of those who have believed with him and keep their women alive." But the plan of the disbelievers is not except in error.
40:26
وَقَالَ
And said
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
ذَرُونِىٓ
Leave me
أَقۡتُلۡ
(so that) I kill
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
وَلۡيَدۡعُ
and let him call
رَبَّهُۥٓ‌ۖ
his Lord
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I
أَخَافُ
[I] fear
أَن
that
يُبَدِّلَ
he will change
دِينَكُمۡ
your religion
أَوۡ
or
أَن
that
يُظۡهِرَ
he may cause to appear
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
ٱلۡفَسَادَ
the corruption
٢٦
And Pharaoh said, "Let me kill Moses and let him call upon his Lord. Indeed, I fear that he will change your religion or that he will cause corruption1 in the land."
40:27
وَقَالَ
And said
مُوسَىٰٓ
Musa
إِنِّى
Indeed, I
عُذۡتُ
[I] seek refuge
بِرَبِّى
in my Lord
وَرَبِّكُم
and your Lord
مِّن
from
كُلِّ
every
مُتَكَبِّرٍ
arrogant one
لَّا
not
يُؤۡمِنُ
who believes
بِيَوۡمِ
(in the) Day
ٱلۡحِسَابِ
(of) the Account
٢٧
But Moses said, "Indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord from every arrogant one who does not believe in the Day of Account."
40:28
وَقَالَ
And said
رَجُلٌ
a man
مُّؤۡمِنٌ
believing
مِّنۡ
from
ءَالِ
(the) family
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
يَكۡتُمُ
who conceal(ed)
إِيمَـٰنَهُۥٓ
his faith
أَتَقۡتُلُونَ
Will you kill
رَجُلاً
a man
أَن
because
يَقُولَ
he says
رَبِّىَ
My Lord
ٱللَّهُ
(is) Allah
وَقَدۡ
and indeed
جَآءَكُم
he has brought you
بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
clear proofs
مِن
from
رَّبِّكُمۡۖ
your Lord
وَإِن
And if
يَكُ
he is
كَـٰذِبًا
a liar
فَعَلَيۡهِ
then upon him
كَذِبُهُۥۖ
(is) his lie
وَإِن
and if
يَكُ
he is
صَادِقًا
truthful
يُصِبۡكُم
(there) will strike you
بَعۡضُ
some (of)
ٱلَّذِى
(that) which
يَعِدُكُمۡۖ
he threatens you
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَا
(does) not
يَهۡدِى
guide
مَنۡ
(one) who
هُوَ
[he]
مُسۡرِفٌ
(is) a transgressor
كَذَّابٌ
a liar
٢٨
And a believing man from the family of Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Do you kill a man [merely] because he says, 'My Lord is Allāh' while he has brought you clear proofs from your Lord? And if he should be lying, then upon him is [the consequence of] his lie; but if he should be truthful, there will strike you some of what he promises you. Indeed, Allāh does not guide one who is a transgressor and a liar.
40:29
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
لَكُمُ
For you
ٱلۡمُلۡكُ
(is) the kingdom
ٱلۡيَوۡمَ
today
ظَـٰهِرِينَ
dominant
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
فَمَن
but who
يَنصُرُنَا
will help us
مِنۢ
from
بَأۡسِ
(the) punishment
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
إِن
if
جَآءَنَاۚ
it came to us
قَالَ
Said
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
مَآ
Not
أُرِيكُمۡ
I show you
إِلَّا
except
مَآ
what
أَرَىٰ
I see
وَمَآ
and not
أَهۡدِيكُمۡ
I guide you
إِلَّا
except
سَبِيلَ
(to the) path
ٱلرَّشَادِ
the right
٢٩
O my people, sovereignty is yours today, [your being] dominant in the land. But who would protect us from the punishment of Allāh if it came to us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the way of right conduct."
40:30
وَقَالَ
And said
ٱلَّذِىٓ
(he) who
ءَامَنَ
believed
يَـٰقَوۡمِ
O my people
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed I
أَخَافُ
[I] fear
عَلَيۡكُم
for you
مِّثۡلَ
like
يَوۡمِ
(the) day
ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ
(of) the companies
٣٠
And he who believed said, "O my people, indeed I fear for you [a fate] like the day of the companies1 -
40:31
مِثۡلَ
Like
دَأۡبِ
(the) plight
قَوۡمِ
(of the) people
نُوحٍ
(of) Nuh
وَعَادٍ
and Aad
وَثَمُودَ
and Thamud
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and those
مِنۢ
after them
بَعۡدِهِمۡۚ
after them
وَمَا
And Allah (does) not
ٱللَّهُ
And Allah (does) not
يُرِيدُ
want
ظُلۡمًا
injustice
لِّلۡعِبَادِ
for (His) slaves
٣١
Like the custom of the people of Noah and of ʿAad and Thamūd and those after them. And Allāh wants no injustice for [His] servants.
40:32
وَيَـٰقَوۡمِ
And O my people
إِنِّىٓ
Indeed, I
أَخَافُ
[I] fear
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
for you
يَوۡمَ
(the) Day
ٱلتَّنَادِ
(of) Calling
٣٢
And O my people, indeed I fear for you the Day of Calling1 -
40:33
يَوۡمَ
A Day
تُوَلُّونَ
you will turn back
مُدۡبِرِينَ
fleeing
مَا
not
لَكُم
for you
مِّنَ
from
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
مِنۡ
any
عَاصِمٍۗ

وَمَن
And whoever
يُضۡلِلِ
Allah lets go astray
ٱللَّهُ
Allah lets go astray
فَمَا
then not

٣٣
The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allāh any protector. And whoever Allāh sends astray - there is not for him any guide.
40:34
وَلَقَدۡ
And indeed
جَآءَكُمۡ
came to you
يُوسُفُ
Yusuf

بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
with clear proofs

about what
جَآءَكُم
he brought to you
بِهِۦۖ
[with it]
حَتَّىٰٓ
until
إِذَا
when
هَلَكَ
he died
قُلۡتُمۡ
you said
لَن
Never

will Allah raise
ٱللَّهُ
will Allah raise
مِنۢ
after him
بَعۡدِهِۦ
after him
رَسُوۚلاً
a Messenger
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يُضِلُّ
Allah lets go astray
ٱللَّهُ
Allah lets go astray
مَنۡ
who
هُوَ
[he]
مُسۡرِفٌ
(is) a transgressor
مُّرۡتَابٌ
a doubter
٣٤
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allāh send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allāh leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."
40:35
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يُجَـٰدِلُونَ
dispute
فِىٓ
concerning
ءَايَـٰتِ
(the) Signs

(of) Allah
بِغَيۡرِ

(having) come to them

ٱللَّهِ
near Allah
وَعِندَ
and near
ٱلَّذِينَ
those
ءَامَنُواۡۚ
who believe
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يَطۡبَعُ
Allah sets a seal
ٱللَّهُ
Allah sets a seal
عَلَىٰ
over
كُلِّ
every
قَلۡبِ
heart
مُتَكَبِّرٍ
(of) an arrogant
جَبَّارٍ
tyrant
٣٥
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without an authority1 having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allāh and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allāh seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.
40:36
وَقَالَ
And said
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
يَـٰهَـٰمَـٰنُ
O Haman
ٱبۡنِ

for me
صَرۡحًا
a tower
لَّعَلِّىٓ
that I may
أَبۡلُغُ
reach
ٱلۡأَسۡبَـٰبَ
the ways
٣٦
And Pharaoh said, "O Hāmān, construct for me a tower that I might reach the ways1 -
40:37
أَسۡبَـٰبَ
(The) ways
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(to) the heavens
فَأَطَّلِعَ
so I may look
إِلَىٰٓ
at
إِلَـٰهِ
(the) God
مُوسَىٰ
(of) Musa
وَإِنِّى
and indeed, I
لَأَظُنُّهُۥ
[I] surely think him
كَـٰذِبًاۚ
(to be) a liar
وَكَذٰلِكَ
And thus
زُيِّنَ
was made fair-seeming
لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ
to Firaun
سُوٓءُ
(the) evil
عَمَلِهِۦ
(of) his deed
وَصُدَّ
and he was averted
عَنِ
from
ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ
the way
وَمَا
And not
كَيۡدُ
(was the) plot
فِرۡعَوۡنَ
(of) Firaun
إِلَّا
except
فِى
in
تَبَابٍ
ruin
٣٧
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
40:38
وَقَالَ
And said
ٱلَّذِىٓ
the one who
ءَامَنَ

Follow me
أَهۡدِكُمۡ
I will guide you

And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the way of right conduct.

Only
هَـٰذِهِ
this
ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ

ٱلۡأَخِرَةَ
the Hereafter

ٱلۡقَرَارِ
(of) settlement
٣٩
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.
40:40

Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.

Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allāh, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire.
40:44
فَسَتَذۡكُرُونَ

So Allāh protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment -

Indeed, those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without [any] evidence having come to them - there is not within their breasts except pride, [the extent of] which they cannot reach. So seek refuge in Allāh. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allāh once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."
40:67
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
خَلَقَكُم
created you
مِّن
from
تُرَابٍ
dust
ثُمَّ
then
مِن
from
نُّطۡفَةٍ
a semen-drop
ثُمَّ
then
مِنۡ
from
عَلَقَةٍ
a clinging substance
ثُمَّ
then
يُخۡرِجُكُمۡ
He brings you out
طِفۡلاً
(as) a child
ثُمَّ
then
لِتَبۡلُغُوٓاۡ
lets you reach
أَشُدَّكُمۡ
your maturity
ثُمَّ
then
لِتَكُونُواۡ
lets you become
شُيُوخًاۚ
old
وَمِنكُم
and among you
مَّن
(is he) who
يُتَوَفَّىٰ
dies
مِن
before
قَبۡلُۖ
before
وَلِتَبۡلُغُوٓاۡ
and lets you reach
أَجَلاً
a term
مُّسَمًّى
specified
وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ
and that you may
تَعۡقِلُونَ
use reason
٦٧
It is He who created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then from a clinging clot; then He brings you out as a child; then [He develops you] that you reach your [time of] maturity, then [further] that you become elders. And among you is he who is taken in death before [that], so that you reach a specified term;1 and perhaps you will use reason.
40:68
هُوَ
He
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
يُحۡىِۦ
gives life
وَيُمِيتُۖ
and causes death
فَإِذَا
And when
قَضَىٰٓ
He decrees
أَمۡرًا
a matter
فَإِنَّمَا
then only
يَقُولُ
He says
لَهُۥ
to it
كُن
Be
فَيَكُونُ
and it is
٦٨
He it is who gives life and causes death; and when He decrees a matter, He but says to it, "Be," and it is.
40:69
أَلَمۡ
Do not
تَرَ
you see
إِلَى
[to]
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
يُجَـٰدِلُونَ
dispute
فِىٓ
concerning
ءَايَـٰتِ
(the) Signs
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
أَنَّىٰ
How
يُصۡرَفُونَ
they are turned away
٦٩
Do you not consider those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh - how are they averted?
40:70
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
كَذَّبُواۡ
deny
بِٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ
the Book
وَبِمَآ
and with what
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We sent
بِهِۦ
with it
رُسُلَنَاۖ
Our Messengers
فَسَوۡفَ
but soon
يَعۡلَمُونَ
they will know
٧٠
Those who deny the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and that with which We sent Our messengers - they are going to know,
40:71
إِذِ
When
ٱلۡأَغۡلَـٰلُ
the iron collars
فِىٓ
(will be) around
أَعۡنَـٰقِهِمۡ
their necks
وَٱلسَّلَـٰسِلُ
and the chains
يُسۡحَبُونَ
they will be dragged
٧١
When the shackles are around their necks and the chains; they will be dragged
40:72
فِى
In
ٱلۡحَمِيمِ
the boiling water
ثُمَّ
then
فِى
in
ٱلنَّارِ
the Fire
يُسۡجَرُونَ
they will be burned
٧٢
In boiling water; then in the Fire they will be filled [with flame].
40:73
ثُمَّ
Then
قِيلَ
it will be said
لَهُمۡ
to them
أَيۡنَ
Where
مَا
(is) that which
كُنتُمۡ
you used to
تُشۡرِكُونَ
associate
٧٣
Then it will be said to them, "Where is that which you used to associate [with Him in worship]
40:74
مِن
Other than
دُونِ
Other than
ٱللَّهِۖ
Allah
قَالُواۡ
They will say
ضَلُّواۡ
They have departed
عَنَّا
from us
بَل
Nay
لَّمۡ
Not
نَكُن
we used to
نَّدۡعُواۡ
[we] call
مِن
before
قَبۡلُ
before
شَيۡــًٔاۚ
anything
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يُضِلُّ
Allah lets go astray
ٱللَّهُ
Allah lets go astray
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
the disbelievers
٧٤
Other than Allāh?" They will say, "They have departed from us; rather, we did not used to invoke previously anything." Thus does Allāh put astray the disbelievers.
40:75
ذٰلِكُم
That was
بِمَا
because
كُنتُمۡ
you used to
تَفۡرَحُونَ
rejoice
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
بِغَيۡرِ
without
ٱلۡحَقِّ
right
وَبِمَا
and because
كُنتُمۡ
you used to
تَمۡرَحُونَ
be insolent
٧٥
[The angels will say], "That was because you used to exult upon the earth without right and you used to behave insolently.
40:76
ٱدۡخُلُوٓاۡ
Enter
أَبۡوٰبَ
(the) gates
جَهَنَّمَ
(of) Hell
خَـٰلِدِينَ
(to) abide forever
فِيهَاۖ
in it
فَبِئۡسَ
and wretched is
مَثۡوَى
(the) abode
ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ
(of) the arrogant
٧٦
Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."
40:77
فَٱصۡبِرۡ
So be patient
إِنَّ
indeed
وَعۡدَ
(the) Promise
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
حَۚقٌّ
(is) true
فَإِمَّا
And whether
نُرِيَنَّكَ
We show you
بَعۡضَ
some
ٱلَّذِى
(of) what
نَعِدُهُمۡ
We have promised them
أَوۡ
or
نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ
We cause you to die
فَإِلَيۡنَا
then to Us
يُرۡجَعُونَ
they will be returned
٧٧
So be patient, [O Muḥammad]; indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth. And whether We show you some of what We have promised them or We take you in death, it is to Us they will be returned.
40:78
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
We have sent
رُسُلاً
Messengers
مِّن
before you
قَبۡلِكَ
before you
مِنۡهُم
Among them
مَّن
(are) who
قَصَصۡنَا
We have related
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
وَمِنۡهُم
and among them
مَّن
(are) who
لَّمۡ
not
نَقۡصُصۡ
We have related
عَلَيۡكَۗ
to you
وَمَا
And not
كَانَ
is
لِرَسُولٍ
for any Messenger
أَن
that
يَأۡتِىَ
he brings
بِـَٔـايَةٍ
a Sign
إِلَّا
except
بِإِذۡنِ
by (the) permission
ٱللَّهِۚ
(of) Allah
فَإِذَا
So when
جَآءَ
comes
أَمۡرُ
(the) Command
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
قُضِىَ
it will be decided
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
in truth
وَخَسِرَ
and will lose
هُنَالِكَ
there
ٱلۡمُبۡطِلُونَ
the falsifiers
٧٨
And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allāh. So when the command of Allāh comes, it will be concluded [i.e., judged] in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].
40:79
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
جَعَلَ
made
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلۡأَنۡعَـٰمَ
the cattle
لِتَرۡكَبُواۡ
that you may ride
مِنۡهَا
some of them
وَمِنۡهَا
and some of them
تَأۡكُلُونَ
you eat
٧٩
It is Allāh who made for you the grazing animals upon which you ride, and some of them you eat.
40:80
وَلَكُمۡ
And for you
فِيهَا
in them
مَنَـٰفِعُ
(are) benefits
وَلِتَبۡلُغُواۡ
and that you may reach
عَلَيۡهَا
through them
حَاجَةً
a need
فِى
(that is) in
صُدُورِكُمۡ
your breasts
وَعَلَيۡهَا
and upon them
وَعَلَى
and upon
ٱلۡفُلۡكِ
the ships
تُحۡمَلُونَ
you are carried
٨٠
And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon them a need which is in your breasts;1 and upon them and upon ships you are carried.
40:81
وَيُرِيكُمۡ
And He shows you
ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ
His Signs
فَأَىَّ
Then which
ءَايَـٰتِ
(of the) Signs
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
تُنكِرُونَ
will you deny
٨١
And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allāh do you deny?
40:82
أَفَلَمۡ
Do they not
يَسِيرُواۡ
travel
فِى
through
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
فَيَنظُرُواۡ
and see
كَيۡفَ
how
كَانَ
was
عَـٰقِبَةُ
(the) end
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
مِن
(were) before them
قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ
(were) before them
كَانُوٓاۡ
They were
أَكۡثَرَ
more numerous
مِنۡهُمۡ
than them
وَأَشَدَّ
and mightier
قُوَّةً
(in) strength
وَءَاثَارًا
and impressions
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the land
فَمَآ
but not
أَغۡنَىٰ
availed
عَنۡهُم
them
مَّا
what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
يَكۡسِبُونَ
earn
٨٢
Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.
40:83
فَلَمَّا
Then when
جَآءَتۡهُمۡ
came to them
رُسُلُهُم
their Messengers
بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
with clear proofs
فَرِحُواۡ
they rejoiced
بِمَا
in what
عِندَهُم
they had
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡعِلۡمِ
the knowledge
وَحَاقَ
and enveloped
بِهِم
them
مَّا
what
كَانُواۡ
they used to
بِهِۦ
[at it]
يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
mock
٨٣
And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.
40:84
فَلَمَّا
So when
رَأَوۡاۡ
they saw
بَأۡسَنَا
Our punishment
قَالُوٓاۡ
they said
ءَامَنَّا
We believe
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
وَحۡدَهُۥ
Alone
وَكَفَرۡنَا
and we disbelieve
بِمَا
in what
كُنَّا
we used to
بِهِۦ
with Him
مُشۡرِكِينَ
associate
٨٤
And when they saw Our punishment, they said, "We believe in Allāh alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."
40:85
فَلَمۡ
But did not
يَكُ
But did not
يَنفَعُهُمۡ
benefit them
إِيمَـٰنُهُمۡ
their faith
لَمَّا
when
رَأَوۡاۡ
they saw
بَأۡسَنَاۖ
Our punishment
سُنَّتَ
(Such is the) Way
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
ٱلَّتِى
which
قَدۡ
(has) indeed
خَلَتۡ
preceded
فِى
among
عِبَادِهِۖۦ
His slaves
وَخَسِرَ
And are lost
هُنَالِكَ
there
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ
the disbelievers
٨٥
But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allāh which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all].
