Verses 76–95

وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهْتَدَوْا۟ هُدًۭى ۗ وَٱلْبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًۭا وَخَيْرٌۭ مَّرَدًّا﴿٧٦﴾

19:76Allah enhances in guidance those who are [rightly] guided, and lasting righteous deeds are better with your Lord in reward, and better at the return [to Allah].

أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًۭا وَوَلَدًا﴿٧٧﴾

19:77Have you not regarded him who defies Our signs, and says, ‘I will surely be given wealth and children’?

أَطَّلَعَ ٱلْغَيْبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ عَهْدًۭا﴿٧٨﴾

19:78Has he come to know the Unseen, or taken a promise from the All-beneficent?¹

كَلَّا ۚ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ مَدًّۭا﴿٧٩﴾

19:79No indeed! We will write down what he says, and We will prolong his punishment endlessly.²

وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًۭا﴿٨٠﴾

19:80We shall take over from him what he talks about, and he will come to Us alone.³

وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةًۭ لِّيَكُونُوا۟ لَهُمْ عِزًّۭا﴿٨١﴾

19:81They have taken gods besides Allah that they may be a [source of] might to them.

كَلَّا ۚ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا﴿٨٢﴾

19:82No Indeed! Soon they will disown their worship, and they will be their opponents.^*

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزًّۭا﴿٨٣﴾

19:83Have you not regarded that We unleash the devils upon the faithless to urge them vigorously?⁴

فَلَا تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدًّۭا﴿٨٤﴾

19:84So do not make haste against them; indeed We are counting for them, a counting [down].

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَفْدًۭا﴿٨٥﴾

19:85The day We shall gather the Godwary toward the All-beneficent, on mounts,⁵

وَنَسُوقُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ وِرْدًۭا﴿٨٦﴾

19:86and drive the guilty as a thirsty herd towards hell,

لَّا يَمْلِكُونَ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ عَهْدًۭا﴿٨٧﴾

19:87no one will have the power to intercede [with Allah], except for him who has taken a covenant with the All-beneficent.

وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَلَدًۭا﴿٨٨﴾

19:88They say, ‘The All-beneficent has taken a son!’

لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمْ شَيْـًٔا إِدًّۭا﴿٨٩﴾

19:89You have certainly advanced something hideous!

تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلْجِبَالُ هَدًّا﴿٩٠﴾

19:90The heavens are about to be rent apart at it, the earth to split open, and the mountains to collapse into bits,

أَن دَعَوْا۟ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدًۭا﴿٩١﴾

19:91that they should ascribe a son to the All-beneficent!

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا﴿٩٢﴾

19:92It does not behoove the All-beneficent to take a son.⁶

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّآ ءَاتِى ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ عَبْدًۭا﴿٩٣﴾

19:93There is none in the heavens and the earth but he comes to the All-beneficent as a servant.

لَّقَدْ أَحْصَىٰهُمْ وَعَدَّهُمْ عَدًّۭا﴿٩٤﴾

19:94Certainly He has counted them [all] and numbered them precisely,

وَكُلُّهُمْ ءَاتِيهِ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فَرْدًا﴿٩٥﴾

19:95and each of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection.
