مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ﴿٢٠٧﴾

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them?

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ﴿٢٠٨﴾

And We destroyed no township but it had its warners

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَـٰلِمِينَ﴿٢٠٩﴾

For reminder, for We never were oppressors.

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ﴿٢١٠﴾

The devils did not bring it down.

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ﴿٢١١﴾

It is not meet for them, nor is it in their power,

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ﴿٢١٢﴾

Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ﴿٢١٣﴾

Therefor invoke not with Allah another god, lest thou be one of the doomed.

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ﴿٢١٤﴾

And warn thy tribe of near kindred,

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴿٢١٥﴾

And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee.

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ﴿٢١٦﴾

And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ﴿٢١٧﴾

And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ﴿٢١٨﴾

Who seeth thee when thou standest up (to pray)

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّـٰجِدِينَ﴿٢١٩﴾

And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship).

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ﴿٢٢٠﴾

Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower.

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ﴿٢٢١﴾

Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend?

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ﴿٢٢٢﴾

They descend on every sinful, false one.

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ﴿٢٢٣﴾

They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ﴿٢٢٤﴾

As for poets, the erring follow them.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ﴿٢٢٥﴾

Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ﴿٢٢٦﴾

And how they say that which they do not?

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ﴿٢٢٧﴾

Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
