| 42:9 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | How can they take protectors besides Him? Allah alone is the Protector. He ˹alone˺ gives life to the dead. And He ˹alone˺ is Most Capable of everything. | |
| 42:10 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | ˹Say to the believers, O Prophet,˺ “Whatever you may differ about, its judgment rests with Allah. That is Allah—my Lord. In Him I put my trust, and to Him I ˹always˺ turn.” | |
| 42:11 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | ˹He is˺ the Originator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you spouses from among yourselves, and ˹made˺ mates for cattle ˹as well˺—multiplying you ˹both˺. There is nothing like Him, for He ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing. | |
| 42:12 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | To Him belong the keys ˹of the treasuries˺ of the heavens and the earth. He gives abundant or limited provisions to whoever He wills. Indeed, He has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of all things. | |
| 42:13 | 1 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | He has ordained for you ˹believers˺ the Way which He decreed for Noah, and what We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ and what We decreed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus,1 ˹commanding:˺ “Uphold the faith, and make no divisions in it.” What you call the polytheists to is unbearable for them. Allah chooses for Himself whoever He wills, and guides to Himself whoever turns ˹to Him˺. | |
| 42:14 | 3 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | They did not split ˹into sects˺ out of mutual envy until knowledge came to them.1 Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord for an appointed term,2 the matter would have certainly been settled between them ˹at once˺. And surely those who were made to inherit the Scripture3 after them are truly in alarming doubt about this ˹Quran˺. | |
| 42:15 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Because of that, you ˹O Prophet˺ will invite ˹all˺. Be steadfast as you are commanded, and do not follow their desires. And say, “I believe in every Scripture Allah has revealed. And I am commanded to judge fairly among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. We will be accountable for our deeds and you for yours. There is no ˹need for˺ contention between us. Allah will gather us together ˹for judgment˺. And to Him is the final return.” | |
| 42:16 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | As for those who dispute about Allah after He is ˹already˺ acknowledged ˹by many˺, their argument is futile in the sight of their Lord. Upon them is wrath, and they will suffer a severe punishment. | |
| 42:17 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | It is Allah Who has revealed the Book with the truth and the balance ˹of justice˺. You never know, perhaps the Hour is near. | |
| 42:18 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Those who disbelieve in it ˹ask to˺ hasten it ˹mockingly˺. But the believers are fearful of it, knowing that it is the truth. Surely those who dispute about the Hour have gone far astray. | |
| 42:19 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Allah is Ever Kind to His servants. He provides ˹abundantly˺ to whoever He wills. And He is the All-Powerful, Almighty. | |
| 42:20 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Whoever desires the harvest of the Hereafter, We will increase their harvest. And whoever desires ˹only˺ the harvest of this world, We will give them some of it, but they will have no share in the Hereafter. | |
| 42:21 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Or do they have associate-gods who have ordained for them some ˹polytheistic˺ beliefs, which Allah has not authorized? Had it not been for ˹prior˺ decree on Judgment, the matter would have certainly been settled between them ˹at once˺. And surely the wrongdoers will suffer a painful punishment. | |
| 42:22 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | You will see the wrongdoers fearful ˹of the punishment˺ for what they committed but it will be inevitable for them, whereas those who believe and do good will be in the lush Gardens of Paradise. They will have whatever they desire from their Lord. That is ˹truly˺ the greatest bounty. | |
| 42:23 | 1 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | That ˹reward˺ is the good news which Allah gives to His servants who believe and do good. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “I do not ask you for a reward for this ˹message˺—only honour for ˹our˺ kinship.”1 Whoever earns a good deed, We will increase it in goodness for them. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Appreciative. | |
| 42:24 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Or do they say, “He has fabricated a lie about Allah!”? ˹If you had,˺ Allah would have sealed your heart, if He willed. And Allah wipes out falsehood and establishes the truth by His Words. He certainly knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart. | |
| 42:25 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | He is the One Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons ˹their˺ sins. And He knows whatever you do. | |
| 42:26 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | He responds to those who believe and do good, and increases their reward out of His grace. As for the disbelievers, they will suffer a severe punishment. | |
| 42:27 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Had Allah given abundant provisions to ˹all˺ His servants, they would have certainly transgressed throughout the land. But He sends down whatever He wills in perfect measure. He is truly All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants. | |
| 42:28 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | He is the One Who sends down rain after people have given up hope, spreading out His mercy. He is the Guardian, the Praiseworthy. | |
