وَمَا لِىَ لَاۤ اَعۡبُدُ الَّذِىۡ فَطَرَنِىۡ وَاِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُوۡنَ ٢٢
36:22For what cause should I not serve Him Who hath created me, and unto Whom ye will be brought back?
ءَاَ تَّخِذُ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةً اِنۡ يُّرِدۡنِ الرَّحۡمٰنُ بِضُرٍّ لَّا تُغۡنِ عَنِّىۡ شَفَاعَتُهُمۡ شَيۡـــًٔا وَّلَا يُنۡقِذُوۡنِۚ ٢٣
36:23Shall I take (other) gods in place of Him when, if the Beneficent should wish me any harm, their intercession will avail me naught, nor can they save?
اِنِّىۡۤ اِذًا لَّفِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ٢٤
36:24Then truly I should be in error manifest.
اِنِّىۡۤ اٰمَنۡتُ بِرَبِّكُمۡ فَاسۡمَعُوۡنِؕ ٢٥
36:25Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me!
قِيۡلَ ادۡخُلِ الۡجَـنَّةَ ؕ قَالَ يٰلَيۡتَ قَوۡمِىۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ ٢٦
36:26It was said (unto him): Enter paradise. He said: Would that my people knew
بِمَا غَفَرَلِىۡ رَبِّىۡ وَجَعَلَنِىۡ مِنَ الۡمُكۡرَمِيۡنَ ٢٧
36:27With what (munificence) my Lord hath pardoned me and made me of the honoured ones!
وَمَاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا عَلٰى قَوۡمِهٖ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِهٖ مِنۡ جُنۡدٍ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ وَمَا كُـنَّا مُنۡزِلِيۡنَ ٢٨
36:28We sent not down against his people after him a host from heaven, nor do We ever send.
اِنۡ كَانَتۡ اِلَّا صَيۡحَةً وَّاحِدَةً فَاِذَا هُمۡ خٰمِدُوۡنَ ٢٩
36:29It was but one Shout, and lo! they were extinct.
يٰحَسۡرَةً عَلَى الۡعِبَادِ ؔۚ مَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ ٣٠
36:30Ah, the anguish for the bondmen! Never came there unto them a messenger but they did mock him!
اَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا كَمۡ اَهۡلَـكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡقُرُوۡنِ اَنَّهُمۡ اِلَيۡهِمۡ لَا يَرۡجِعُوۡنَؕ ٣١
36:31Have they not seen how many generations We destroyed before them, which indeed returned not unto them;
وَاِنۡ كُلٌّ لَّمَّا جَمِيۡعٌ لَّدَيۡنَا مُحۡضَرُوۡنَ ٣٢
36:32But all, without exception, will be brought before Us.
وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الۡاَرۡضُ الۡمَيۡتَةُ ۖۚ اَحۡيَيۡنٰهَا وَاَخۡرَجۡنَا مِنۡهَا حَبًّا فَمِنۡهُ يَاۡكُلُوۡنَ ٣٣
36:33A token unto them is the dead earth. We revive it, and We bring forth from it grain so that they eat thereof;
وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيۡهَا جَنّٰتٍ مِّنۡ نَّخِيۡلٍ وَّاَعۡنَابٍ وَّفَجَّرۡنَا فِيۡهَا مِنَ الۡعُيُوۡنِۙ ٣٤
36:34And We have placed therein gardens of the date-palm and grapes, and We have caused springs of water to gush forth therein,
لِيَاۡكُلُوۡا مِنۡ ثَمَرِهٖۙ وَمَا عَمِلَـتۡهُ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡؕ اَفَلَا يَشۡكُرُوۡنَ ٣٥
36:35That they may eat of the fruit thereof, and their hands made it not. Will they not, then, give thanks?
سُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ الۡاَزۡوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنۡۢبِتُ الۡاَرۡضُ وَمِنۡ اَنۡفُسِهِمۡ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٣٦
36:36Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not!
وَاٰيَةٌ لَّهُمُ الَّيۡلُ ۖۚ نَسۡلَخُ مِنۡهُ النَّهَارَ فَاِذَا هُمۡ مُّظۡلِمُوۡنَۙ ٣٧
36:37A token unto them is night. We strip it of the day, and lo! they are in darkness.
