قَالَتۡ لَهُمۡ رُسُلُهُمۡ اِنۡ نَّحۡنُ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ وَلٰـكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَمُنُّ عَلٰى مَنۡ يَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهٖؕ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَاۤ اَنۡ نَّاۡتِيَكُمۡ بِسُلۡطٰنٍ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِؕ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ١١
14:11Their messengers said unto them: We are but mortals like you, but Allah giveth grace unto whom He will of His slaves. It is not ours to bring you a warrant unless by the permission of Allah. In Allah let believers put their trust!
وَمَا لَـنَاۤ اَلَّا نَـتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ وَقَدۡ هَدٰٮنَا سُبُلَنَاؕ وَلَــنَصۡبِرَنَّ عَلٰى مَاۤ اٰذَيۡتُمُوۡنَاؕ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُتَوَكِّلُوۡنَ ١٢
14:12How should we not put our trust in Allah when He hath shown us our ways? We surely will endure the hurt ye do us. In Allah let the trusting put their trust.
وَقَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لِرُسُلِهِمۡ لَـنُخۡرِجَنَّكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَرۡضِنَاۤ اَوۡ لَـتَعُوۡدُنَّ فِىۡ مِلَّتِنَاؕ فَاَوۡحٰۤى اِلَيۡهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ لَــنُهۡلِكَنَّ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَۙ ١٣
14:13And those who disbelieved said unto their messengers: Verily we will drive you out from our land, unless ye return to our religion. Then their Lord inspired them, (saying): Verily we shall destroy the wrong-doers,
وَلَـنُسۡكِنَنَّكُمُ الۡاَرۡضَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡؕ ذٰ لِكَ لِمَنۡ خَافَ مَقَامِىۡ وَخَافَ وَعِيۡدِ ١٤
14:14And verily We shall make you to dwell in the land after them. This is for him who feareth My Majesty and feareth My warning.
وَاسۡتَفۡتَحُوۡا وَخَابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيۡدٍۙ ١٥
14:15And they sought help (from their Lord) and every froward potentate was brought to naught;
مِّنۡ وَّرَآٮِٕهٖ جَهَـنَّمُ وَيُسۡقٰى مِنۡ مَّآءٍ صَدِيۡدٍۙ ١٦
14:16Hell is before him, and he is made to drink a festering water,
يَّتَجَرَّعُهٗ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُسِيۡـغُهٗ وَيَاۡتِيۡهِ الۡمَوۡتُ مِنۡ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَّمَا هُوَ بِمَيِّتٍؕ وَمِنۡ وَّرَآٮِٕهٖ عَذَابٌ غَلِيۡظٌ ١٧
14:17Which he sippeth but can hardly swallow, and death cometh unto him from every side while yet he cannot die, and before him is a harsh doom.
مَثَلُ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا بِرَبِّهِمۡ اَعۡمَالُهُمۡ كَرَمَادِࣙ اشۡتَدَّتۡ بِهِ الرِّيۡحُ فِىۡ يَوۡمٍ عَاصِفٍؕ لَا يَقۡدِرُوۡنَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوۡا عَلٰى شَىۡءٍؕ ذٰ لِكَ هُوَ الضَّلٰلُ الۡبَعِيۡدُ ١٨
14:18A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. They have no control of aught that they have earned. That is the extreme failure.
اَلَمۡ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ بِالۡحَـقِّؕ اِنۡ يَّشَاۡ يُذۡهِبۡكُمۡ وَيَاۡتِ بِخَلۡقٍ جَدِيۡدٍۙ ١٩
14:19Hast thou not seen that Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in) some new creation;
وَّمَا ذٰ لِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ بِعَزِيۡزٍ ٢٠
14:20And that is no great matter for Allah.
