81. Waataynahum ayatina fakanoo AAanha muAArideena

81. We sent them Our Sings, but they persisted in turning away from them.


82. Wakanoo yanhitoona mina aljibali buyootan amineena

84. Fama aghna AAanhum ma kanoo yaksiboona

85. Wama khalaqna alssamawati waal-arda wama baynahuma illa bialhaqqi wa-inna alssaAAata laatiyatun faisfahi alssafha aljameela

85. We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends. And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness.

88. La tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum wala tahzan AAalayhim waikhfid janahaka lilmu/mineena

88. Strain not thine eyes. (Wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the believers.

89. And say: "I am indeed he that warneth openly and without ambiguity,"-

91. Allatheena jaAAaloo alqur-ana AAideena

91. (So also on such) as have made Qur'an into shreds (as they please).


92. Fawarabbika lanas-alannahum ajmaAAeena

92. Therefore, by the Lord, We will, of a surety, call them to account,


93. AAamma kanoo yaAAmaloona

95. For sufficient are We unto thee against those who scoff,-


96. Allatheena yajAAaloona maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fasawfa yaAAlamoona

96. Those who adopt, with Allah, another god: but soon will they come to know.


97. Walaqad naAAlamu annaka yadeequ sadruka bima yaqooloona

98. Fasabbih bihamdi rabbika wakun mina alssajideena
