وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهۡتَدَوۡاْ هُدٗىۗ وَٱلۡبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيۡرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابٗا وَخَيۡرٞ مَّرَدًّا

Wayazeedu Allahu allatheena ihtadaw hudan waalbaqiyatu alssalihatu khayrun AAinda rabbika thawaban wakhayrun maraddan

"And Allah doth advance in guidance those who seek guidance: and the things that endure, Good Deeds, are best in the sight of thy Lord, as rewards, and best in respect of (their) eventual return."

أَفَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي كَفَرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالٗا وَوَلَدًا

Afaraayta allathee kafara biayatina waqala laootayanna malan wawaladan

Hast thou then seen the (sort of) man who rejects Our Signs, yet says: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?"

أَطَّلَعَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ عِندَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ عَهۡدٗا

AttalaAAa alghayba ami ittakhatha AAinda alrrahmani AAahdan

Has he penetrated to the Unseen, or has he taken a contract with (Allah) Most Gracious?

كـَلَّاۚ سَنَكۡتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ مَدّٗا

Kalla sanaktubu ma yaqoolu wanamuddu lahu mina alAAathabi maddan

Nay! We shall record what he says, and We shall add and add to his punishment.

وَنَرِثُهُۥ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأۡتِينَا فَرۡدٗا

Wanarithuhu ma yaqoolu wayateena fardan

To Us shall return all that he talks of and he shall appear before Us bare and alone.

وَٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ءَالِهَةٗ لِّيَكُونُواْ لَهُمۡ عِزّٗا

Waittakhathoo min dooni Allahi alihatan liyakoonoo lahum AAizzan

And they have taken (for worship) gods other than Allah, to give them power and glory!

كـَلَّاۚ سَيَكۡفُرُونَ بِعِبَادَتِهِمۡ وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ضِدًّا

Kalla sayakfuroona biAAibadatihim wayakoonoona AAalayhim diddan

Instead, they shall reject their worship, and become adversaries against them.
