And Allah has favored some of you over others in provision. But those who were favored would not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess so they would be equal to them therein. Then is it the favor of Allah they reject?

And they worship besides Allah that which does not possess for them ˹the power of˺ provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and ˹in fact˺, they are unable.

So do not assert similarities to Allah. Indeed, Allah knows and you do not know.

Allah presents an example: a slave ˹who is˺ owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allah! But most of them do not know.

And Allah presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?

وَٱللَّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضࣲ فِي ٱلرِّزْقِۚ فَمَا ٱلَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا۟ بِرَآدِّي رِزْقِهِمْ عَلَىٰ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَٰنُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوَآءٌۚ أَفَبِنِعْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقࣰا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ شَيْـࣰٔا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

فَلَا تَضْرِبُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْثَالَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

۞ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا عَبْدࣰا مَّمْلُوكࣰا لَّا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءࣲ وَمَن رَّزَقْنَٰهُ مِنَّا رِزْقًا حَسَنࣰا فَهُوَ يُنفِقُ مِنْهُ سِرࣰّا وَجَهْرًاۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوُۥنَۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلࣰا رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءࣲ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَىٰهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي هُوَ وَمَن يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطࣲ مُّسْتَقِيمࣲ

And to Allah belongs the unseen ˹aspects˺ of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

And Allah has extracted you from the wombs of your mothers not knowing a thing, and He made for you hearing and vision and intellect that perhaps you would be grateful.

Do they not see the birds controlled in the atmosphere of the sky? None holds them up except Allah. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

And Allah has made for you from your homes a place of rest and made for you from the hides of the animals tents which you find light on your day of travel and your day of encampment; and from their wool, fur and hair is furnishing and enjoyment for a time.

And Allah has made for you, from that which He has created, shadows and has made for you from the mountains, shelters and has made for you garments which protect you from the heat and garments which protect you from your ˹enemy in˺ battle. Thus does He complete His favor upon you that you might submit ˹to Him˺.

But if they turn away, ˹O Muhammad˺ - then only upon you is ˹responsibility for˺ clear notification.

They recognize the favor of Allah; then they deny it. And most of them are disbelievers.

وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِۚ وَمَآ أَمْرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ ٱلْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءࣲ قَدِيرࣱ

وَٱللَّهُ أَخْرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ شَيْـࣰٔا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَٰتࣲ فِي جَوِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَٰتࣲ لِّقَوْمࣲ يُؤْمِنُونَ

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۢ بُيُوتِكُمْ سَكَنࣰا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّن جُلُودِ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ بُيُوتࣰا تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقَامَتِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَآ أَثَٰثࣰا وَمَتَٰعًا إِلَىٰ حِينࣲ

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَٰلࣰا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ أَكْنَٰنࣰا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ ٱلْحَرَّ وَسَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأْسَكُمْۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

And ˹mention˺ the Day when We will resurrect from every nation a witness. Then it will not be permitted to the disbelievers ˹to apologize or make excuses˺, nor will they be asked to appease ˹Allah˺.

And when those who wronged see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

And when those who associated others with Allah see their "partners," they will say," Our Lord, these are our partners ˹to You˺ whom we used to invoke besides You." But they will throw at them the statement, "Indeed, you are liars."

وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةࣲ شَهِيدࣰا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَهُمْ قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُرَكَآؤُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُوا۟ مِن دُونِكَۖ فَأَلْقَوْا۟ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

And they will impart to Allah that Day ˹their˺ submission, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

Those who disbelieved and averted ˹others˺ from the way of Allah - We will increase them in punishment over ˹their˺ punishment for what corruption they were causing.

وَأَلْقَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدْنَٰهُمْ عَذَابࣰا فَوْقَ ٱلْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يُفْسِدُونَ

And ˹mention˺ the Day when We will resurrect among every nation a witness over them from themselves. And We will bring you, ˹O Muhammad˺, as a witness over your nation. And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.

وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةࣲ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ تِبْيَٰنࣰا لِّكُلِّ شَيْءࣲ وَهُدࣰى وَرَحْمَةࣰ وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ
