Sahih International — English — Al-Muminun

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.

And it is He who produced for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

Say, [O Muhammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"

They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then will you not remember?"

Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"

They will say, "[They belong] to Allah." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"

Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"

They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].

[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].

Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord, if You should show me that which they are promised,

My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."

And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.

Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.
