أَحَسِبَ

ٱلنَّاسُ

أَن

يُتۡرَكُوٓاْ

أَن

يَقُولُوٓاْ

ءَامَنَّا

وَهُمۡ

لَا

يُفۡتَنُونَ

وَلَقَدۡ

فَتَنَّا

ٱلَّذِينَ

مِن

قَبۡلِهِمۡۖ

فَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ

ٱللَّهُ

ٱلَّذِينَ

صَدَقُواْ

وَلَيَعۡلَمَنَّ

ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ

We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between those who are truthful and those who are liars.

مَا

يَحۡكُمُونَ

مَن

كَانَ

يَرۡجُواْ

لِقَآءَ

لَأٓتٖۚ

وَهُوَ

ٱلسَّمِيعُ

وَمَن

جَٰهَدَ

فَإِنَّمَا

يُجَٰهِدُ

لِنَفۡسِهِۦٓۚ

إِنَّ

ٱللَّهَ

لَغَنِيٌّ

عَنِ

ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

And whoever strives ˹in Allah’s cause˺, only does so for their own good. Surely Allah is not in need of ˹any of˺ His creation.

وَٱلَّذِينَ

ءَامَنُواْ

وَعَمِلُواْ

وَلَنَجۡزِيَنَّهُمۡ

أَحۡسَنَ

ٱلَّذِي

كَانُواْ

ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ

بِوَٰلِدَيۡهِ

حُسۡنٗاۖ

وَإِن

جَٰهَدَاكَ

لِتُشۡرِكَ

بِي

مَا

لَيۡسَ

لَكَ

بِهِۦ

عِلۡمٞ

فَلَا

تُطِعۡهُمَآۚ

إِلَيَّ

مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ

فَأُنَبِّئُكُم

بِمَا

كُنتُمۡ

تَعۡمَلُونَ

We have commanded people to honour their parents. But if they urge you to associate with Me what you have no knowledge of,¹ then do not obey them. To Me you will ˹all˺ return, and then I will inform you of what you used to do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

وَٱلَّذِينَ

ءَامَنُواْ

ٱللَّهِ

جَعَلَ

فِتۡنَةَ

ٱلنَّاسِ

كَعَذَابِ

ٱللَّهِۖ

وَلَئِن

There are some who say, “We believe in Allah,” but when they suffer in the cause of Allah, they mistake ˹this˺ persecution at the hands of people for the punishment of Allah. But when victory comes from your Lord, they surely say ˹to the believers˺, “We have always been with you.” Does Allah not know best what is in the hearts of all beings?
