Mutual Deception
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Whatever is in the heavens and on the earth glorifies God.
يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs the praise,
لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ
and He is capable of all things.
وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ
It is He who created you, and among you is one who disowns, and among you is a believer.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ فَمِنكُمْ كَافِرٌۭ وَمِنكُم مُّؤْمِنٌۭ
And God is All-Seeing of what you do.
وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
He created the heavens and the earth in truth, and gave you form, and made your forms excellent,
خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْ
and to Him is the destination.
وَإِلَيْهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
He knows what is in the heavens and the earth, and He knows what you keep secret and what you disclose.
يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ
And God is All-Knowing of what the chests contain.
وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ
Has the information not come to you concerning those who disowned before, and tasted the baleful consequences of their conduct, and for them is a painful punishment?
أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَبَؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ فَذَاقُوا۟ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
That is because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said: "Shall humans guide us?"
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُۥ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرٌۭ يَهْدُونَنَا
So they disowned and turned their backs, and God showed Himself Self-Sufficient,
فَكَفَرُوا۟ وَتَوَلَّوا۟ وَّٱسْتَغْنَى ٱللَّهُ
and God is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.
وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌۭ
Those who disown claim that they will never be raised.
زَعَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَن لَّن يُبْعَثُوا۟
Say: "Yes, by my Guardian, you will surely be raised; then you will surely be informed of what you did."
قُلْ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّى لَتُبْعَثُنَّ ثُمَّ لَتُنَبَّؤُنَّ بِمَا عَمِلْتُمْ
And that is easy for God.
وَذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌۭ
So believe in God and His messenger, and the light which We have sent down.
فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَٱلنُّورِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلْنَا
And God is Intimately Acquainted with what you do.
وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌۭ
The Day He will bring you together for the Day of Reunion — that is the Day of Mutual Deception.
يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُكُمْ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْجَمْعِ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ ٱلتَّغَابُنِ
And whoever believes in God and does a sound deed, He will cover for him his misdeeds and admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein eternally, forever.
وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَٰلِحًۭا نُّكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦ وَنُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّٰتٍۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًۭا
That is the immense triumph.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
And those who have disowned and denied Our signs — those are the companions of the Fire, abiding therein eternally,
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا
and what an evil destination!
وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
No calamity strikes except by the permission of God.
مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ
And whoever believes in God — He guides his core,
وَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُۥ
and God is All-Knowing of all things.
وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌۭ
And defer to God, and defer to the messenger.
وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ
But if you turn your backs, only the clear transmission is incumbent upon Our messenger.
فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلْبَلَٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ
God, there is no deity but Him.
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ
And it is upon God that the believers should rely.
وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
O you who have believed! Among your wives and your children is an enemy to you, so beware of them.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُمْ وَأَوْلَٰدِكُمْ عَدُوًّۭا لَّكُمْ فَٱحْذَرُوهُمْ
But if you overlook, turn the page, and forgive — then indeed God is Most-Forgiving, Benevolent.
وَإِن تَعْفُوا۟ وَتَصْفَحُوا۟ وَتَغْفِرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌ
Your goods and your children are but a trial,
إِنَّمَآ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَأَوْلَٰدُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌۭ
and with God is an immense reward.
وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌۭ
So guard yourselves toward God as much as you are able, and listen, and defer, and spend — it will be good for yourselves.
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ وَأَنفِقُوا۟ خَيْرًۭا لِّأَنفُسِكُمْ
And whoever is protected from the greed of his Self — those are the ones who succeed.
وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
If you make God a beautiful loan, He will double it for you and forgive you,
إِن تُقْرِضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًۭا يُضَٰعِفْهُ لَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ
and God is Most-Grateful, Forbearing.
وَٱللَّهُ شَكُورٌ حَلِيمٌ
The Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is witnessed,
عَٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ
the All-Powerful, the Wise.
ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
