ﭫ(4)

لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And He is the Most High, the Greatest.
42:5
ﭬAlmost
ﭭthe heavens
ﭮbreak up
ﭯfrom
ﭰﭱabove them
ﭲand the Angels
ﭳglorify
ﭴ(the) praise
ﭵ(of) their Lord
ﭶand ask for forgiveness
ﭷfor those
ﭸon
ﭹﭺthe earth
ﭻUnquestionably
ﭼindeed
ﭽAllah
ﭾHe
ﭿ(is) the Oft-Forgiving
ﮀthe Most Merciful
ﮁ(5)

تَكَادُ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِن فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

The heavens nearly burst, one above the other, ˹in awe of Him˺. And the angels glorify the praises of their Lord, and seek forgiveness for those on earth. Surely Allah alone is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
42:6
ﮂAnd those who
ﮃtake
ﮄbesides
ﮅbesides
ﮆprotectors
ﮇAllah
ﮈ(is) a Guardian
ﮉover them
ﮊand not
ﮋyou
ﮌ(are) over them
ﮍa manager
ﮎ(6)

وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهُ حَفِيظٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَمَا أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ

As for those who take other protectors besides Him, Allah is Watchful over them. And you ˹O Prophet˺ are not a keeper over them.
42:7
ﮏAnd thus
ﮐWe have revealed
ﮑto you
ﮒa Quran
ﮓ(in) Arabic
ﮔthat you may warn
ﮕ(the) mother
ﮖ(of) the towns
ﮗand whoever
ﮘ(is) around it
ﮙand warn
ﮚ(of the) Day
ﮛ(of) Assembly
ﮜ(there is) no
ﮝdoubt
ﮞﮟin it
ﮠA party
ﮡ(will be) in
ﮢParadise
ﮣand a party
ﮤin
ﮥthe Blazing Fire
ﮦ(7)

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لِّتُنذِرَ أُمَّ الْقُرَىٰ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَتُنذِرَ يَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ ۚ فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ

And so We have revealed to you a Quran in Arabic, so you may warn the Mother of Cities1 and everyone around it, and warn of the Day of Gathering—about which there is no doubt—˹when˺ a group will be in Paradise and another in the Blaze.
42:8
ﮧAnd if
ﮨAllah willed
ﮩAllah willed
ﮪHe could have made them
ﮫa community
ﮬone
ﮭbut
ﮮHe admits
ﮯwhom
ﮰHe wills
ﮱin (to)
ﯓﯔHis Mercy
ﯕAnd the wrongdoers
ﯖnot
ﯗfor them
ﯘany
ﯙprotector
ﯚand not
ﯛany helper
ﯜ(8)

وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَهُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلَٰكِن يُدْخِلُ مَن يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَالظَّالِمُونَ مَا لَهُم مِّن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

Had Allah willed, He could have easily made all ˹humanity˺ into a single community ˹of believers˺. But He admits into His mercy whoever He wills. And the wrongdoers will have no protector or helper.
42:9
ﯝOr
ﯞhave they taken
ﯟbesides Him
ﯠbesides Him
ﯡﯢprotectors
ﯣBut Allah
ﯤHe
ﯥ(is) the Protector
ﯦand He
ﯧgives life
ﯨ(to) the dead
ﯩAnd He
ﯪ(is) on
ﯫevery
ﯬthing
ﯭAll-Powerful
ﯮ(9)

أَمِ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۖ فَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْوَلِيُّ وَهُوَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

How can they take protectors besides Him? Allah alone is the Protector. He ˹alone˺ gives life to the dead. And He ˹alone˺ is Most Capable of everything.
42:10
ﯯAnd whatever
ﯰyou differ
ﯱin it
ﯲof
ﯳa thing
ﯴthen its ruling
ﯵ(is) to
ﯶﯷAllah
ﯸThat
ﯹ(is) Allah
ﯺmy Lord
ﯻupon Him
ﯼI put my trust
ﯽand to Him
ﯾI turn
ﯿ(10)

وَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِن شَيْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ

˹Say to the believers, O  Prophet,˺ “Whatever you may differ about, its judgment rests with Allah. That is Allah—my Lord. In Him I put my trust, and to Him I ˹always˺ turn.”
