This ˹sending of the messengers˺ is because your Lord would never destroy a society for their wrongdoing while its people are unaware ˹of the truth˺.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:132

وَلِكُلّٖ

دَرَجَٰتٞ

مِّمَّا

عَمِلُواْۚ

وَمَا

رَبُّكَ

بِغَٰفِلٍ

They will each be assigned ranks according to their deeds. And your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:133

وَرَبُّكَ

ٱلۡغَنِيُّ

Your Lord is the Self-Sufficient, Full of Mercy. If He wills, He can do away with you and replace you with whoever He wills, just as He produced you from the offspring of other people.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:134

إِنَّ

مَا

تُوعَدُونَ

لَأٓتٖۖ

وَمَآ

أَنتُم

بِمُعۡجِزِينَ

١٣٤

Indeed, what you have been promised will certainly come to pass. And you will have no escape.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:135

قُلۡ

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O my people! Persist in your ways, for I ˹too˺ will persist in mine. You will soon know who will fare best in the end. Indeed, the wrongdoers will never succeed.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

١٣٦

The pagans set aside for Allah a share of the crops and cattle He created, saying, “This ˹portion˺ is for Allah,” so they claim, “and this ˹one˺ for our associate-gods.” Yet the portion of their associate-gods is not shared with Allah while Allah’s portion is shared with their associate-gods. What unfair judgment!

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:137

وَكَذَٰلِكَ

ٱللَّهُ

فَذَرۡهُمۡ

١٣٧

Likewise, the pagans’ evil associates have made it appealing to them to kill their own children—only leading to their destruction as well as confusion in their faith. Had it been Allah’s Will, they would not have done such a thing. So leave them and their falsehood.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:138

وَقَالُواْ

١٣٨

They say, “These cattle and crops are reserved—none may eat them except those we permit,” so they claim. Some other cattle are exempted from labour and others are not slaughtered in Allah’s Name—falsely attributing lies to Him. He will repay them for their lies.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:139

وَقَالُواْ

١٣٩

They ˹also˺ say, “The offspring of this cattle is reserved for our males and forbidden to our females; but if it is stillborn, they may all share it.” He will repay them for their falsehood. Surely He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

6:140

Lost indeed are those who have murdered their own children foolishly out of ignorance and have forbidden what Allah has provided for them—falsely attributing lies to Allah. They have certainly strayed and are not ˹rightly˺ guided.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
