Al-Qasas
قَالَ اِنَّمَا٘ اُوۡتِيۡتُهٗ عَلٰي عِلۡمٍ عِنۡدِيۡؕ اَوَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمۡ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدۡ اَهۡلَكَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ مِنَ الۡقُرُوۡنِ مَنۡ هُوَ اَشَدُّ مِنۡهُ قُوَّةً وَّاَكۡثَرُ جَمۡعًاؕ وَلَا يُسۡـَٔلُ عَنۡ ذُنُوۡبِهِمُ الۡمُجۡرِمُوۡنَ
He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked
فَخَرَجَ عَلٰي قَوۡمِهٖ فِيۡ زِيۡنَتِهٖؕ قَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ يُرِيۡدُوۡنَ الۡحَيٰوةَ الدُّنۡيَا يٰلَيۡتَ لَنَا مِثۡلَ مَا٘ اُوۡتِيَ قَارُوۡنُۙ اِنَّهٗ لَذُوۡ حَظٍّ عَظِيۡمٍ
So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qarun. Indeed, he is one of great fortune
وَقَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡعِلۡمَ وَيۡلَكُمۡ ثَوَابُ اللّٰهِ خَيۡرٌ لِّمَنۡ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًاۚ وَلَا يُلَقّٰىهَا٘ اِلَّا الصّٰبِرُوۡنَ
But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient
فَخَسَفۡنَا بِهٖ وَبِدَارِهِ الۡاَرۡضَࣞ فَمَا كَانَ لَهٗ مِنۡ فِئَةٍ يَّنۡصُرُوۡنَهٗ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِࣗؗ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الۡمُنۡتَصِرِيۡنَ
And We caused the earth to swallow him and his home. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor was he of those who [could] defend themselves
وَاَصۡبَحَ الَّذِيۡنَ تَمَنَّوۡا مَكَانَهٗ بِالۡاَمۡسِ يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَيۡكَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبۡسُطُ الرِّزۡقَ لِمَنۡ يَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهٖ وَيَقۡدِرُۚ لَوۡلَا٘ اَنۡ مَّنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَاؕ وَيۡكَاَنَّهٗ لَا يُفۡلِحُ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَࣖ
And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allah extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allah had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed
تِلۡكَ الدَّارُ الۡاٰخِرَةُ نَجۡعَلُهَا لِلَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُرِيۡدُوۡنَ عُلُوًّا فِي الۡاَرۡضِ وَلَا فَسَادًاؕ وَالۡعَاقِبَةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِيۡنَ
That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous
مَنۡ جَآءَ بِالۡحَسَنَةِ فَلَهٗ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡهَاۚ وَمَنۡ جَآءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجۡزَي الَّذِيۡنَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اِلَّا مَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ
Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed - then those who did evil deeds will not be recompensed except [as much as] what they used to do
