Surah Al-Hadid

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 57:1 ▶

   سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿١﴾

   sabbaḥa lillāhi mā fi s-samāwāti wal-arḍ | wahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīm

   Whatever is in the heavens and earth exalts Allāh, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

   By praising Him and declaring Him far above and beyond any failure or imperfection.

2. 57:2 ▶

   لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٢﴾

   lahū mulku s-samāwāti wal-arḍ | yuḥyī wayumīt | wahuwa ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr

   His is the dominion of the heavens and earth. He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things competent.

3. 57:3 ▶

   هُوَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرُ وَٱلظَّـٰهِرُ وَٱلْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٣﴾

   huwa l-awwalu wal-ākhiru waẓ-ẓāhiru wal-bāṭin | wahuwa bikulli shay'in ʿalīm

   He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all things, Knowing.

   Before whom nothing existed. Also, He who is supreme, foremost or uppermost.

   Enduring eternally when nothing else remains.

   Nothing being above Him. Another meaning is "the Apparent," i.e., evident through His creation and revelation.

   Nothing being nearer than Him by way of His knowledge. Another meaning is "the Unapparent," i.e., concealed from man's physical senses.

4. 57:4 ▶

   هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا ۖ وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ ﴿٤﴾

   huwa lladhī khalaqa s-samāwāti wal-arḍa fī sittati 'ayyāmin thumma stawā ʿala l-ʿarsh | yaʿlamu mā yaliju fi l-arḍi wamā yakhruju minhā wamā yanzilu mina s-samā'i wamā yaʿruju fīhā | wahuwa maʿakum 'ayna mā kuntum | wallāhu bimā taʿmalūna baṣīr

   It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you are. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.

   See footnotes to 2:19 and 7:54.

   In knowledge - observing and witnessing.

5. 57:5 ▶

   لَّهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ ﴿٥﴾

   lahū mulku s-samāwāti wal-arḍ | wa'ila llāhi turjaʿu l-umūr

   His is the dominion of the heavens and earth. And to Allāh are returned [all] matters.

6. 57:6 ▶

   يُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ﴿٦﴾

   yūliju llayla fi n-nahāri wayūliju n-nahāra fi llayl | wahuwa ʿalīmum bidhāti ṣ-ṣudūr

   He causes the night to enter the day and causes the day to enter the night, and He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

7. 57:7 ▶

   ءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَأَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا جَعَلَكُم مُّسْتَخْلَفِينَ فِيهِ ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَأَنفَقُوا۟ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ ﴿٧﴾

   āminū billāhi warasūlihī wa'anfiqū mimmā jaʿalakum mustakhlafīna fīh | falladhīna 'āmanū minkum wa'anfaqū lahum 'ajrun kabīr

   Believe in Allāh and His Messenger and spend out of that in which He has made you successive inheritors. For those who have believed among you and spent, there will be a great reward.

   In ways pleasing to Allāh.

8. 57:8 ▶

   وَمَا لَكُمْ لَا تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ ۙ وَٱلرَّسُولُ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِتُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِرَبِّكُمْ وَقَدْ أَخَذَ مِيثَـٰقَكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٨﴾

   wamā lakum lā tu'minūna billāhi war-rasūlu yadʿūkum litu'minū birabbikum waqad 'akhadha mīthāqakum 'in kuntum mu'minīn

   And why do you not believe in Allāh while the Messenger invites you to believe in your Lord and He has taken your covenant, if you should [truly] be believers?

9. 57:9 ▶

   هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُنَزِّلُ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦٓ ءَايَـٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَـٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٩﴾

   huwa lladhī yunazzilu ʿalā ʿabdihī 'āyātim bayyinātil liyukhrijakum mina ẓ-ẓulumāti 'ila n-nūr | wa'inna llāha bikum lara'ūfur raḥīm

   It is He who sends down upon His Servant [Muḥammad (ﷺ)] verses of clear evidence that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And indeed, Allāh is to you Kind and Merciful.

10. 57:10 ▶

    وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تُنفِقُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَٰثُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ لَا يَسْتَوِى مِنكُم مَّنْ أَنفَقَ مِن قَبْلِ ٱلْفَتْحِ وَقَـٰتَلَ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنفَقُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدُ وَقَـٰتَلُوا۟ ۚ وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ ﴿١٠﴾

    wamā lakum 'allā tunfiqū fī sabīli llāhi walillāhi mīrāthu s-samāwāti wal-arḍ | lā yastawī minkum man 'anfaqa min qabli l-fatḥi waqātal | ulā'ika 'aʿẓamu darajatam mina lladhīna 'anfaqū mim baʿdu waqātalū | wakullaw waʿada llāhu l-ḥusnā | wallāhu bimā taʿmalūna khabīr

    And why do you not spend in the cause of Allāh while to Allāh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allāh has promised the best [reward]. And Allāh, of what you do, is Aware.

11. 57:11 ▶

    مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يُقْرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَـٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿١١﴾

    man dha lladhī yuqriḍu llāha qarḍan ḥasanan fayuḍāʿifahū lahū walahū 'ajrun karīm

    Who is it that would loan Allāh a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward?

12. 57:12 ▶

    يَوْمَ تَرَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ يَسْعَىٰ نُورُهُم بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَـٰنِهِم بُشْرَىٰكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ جَنَّـٰتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿١٢﴾

    yawma tara l-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināti yasʿā nūruhum bayna 'aydīhim wabi'aymānihim bushrākumu l-yawma jannātun tajrī min taḥtiha l-anhāru khālidīna fīhā | dhālika huwa l-fawzu l-ʿaẓīm

    On the Day you see the believing men and believing women, their light proceeding before them and on their right, [it will be said], "Your good tidings today are [of] gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein you will abide eternally." That is what is the great attainment.

13. 57:13 ▶

    يَوْمَ يَقُولُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقَـٰتُ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱنظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ قِيلَ ٱرْجِعُوا۟ وَرَآءَكُمْ فَٱلْتَمِسُوا۟ نُورًا فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍ لَّهُۥ بَابٌۢ بَاطِنُهُۥ فِيهِ ٱلرَّحْمَةُ وَظَـٰهِرُهُۥ مِن قِبَلِهِ ٱلْعَذَابُ ﴿١٣﴾

    yawma yaqūlu l-munāfiqūna wal-munāfiqātu lilladhīna 'āmanu nẓurūnā naqtabis min nūrikum qīla rjiʿū warā'akum faltamisū nūran faḍuriba baynahum bisūril lahū bābum bāṭinuhū fīhi r-raḥmatu waẓāhiruhū min qibalihi l-ʿadhāb

    On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, "Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light." It will be said, "Go back behind you and seek light." And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment.

    To where light was acquired, i.e., in the worldly life.

14. 57:14 ▶

    يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَلَـٰكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَٱرْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ ٱلْأَمَانِىُّ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَغَرَّكُم بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْغَرُورُ ﴿١٤﴾

    yunādūnahum 'alam nakum maʿakum | qālū balā walākinnakum fatantum 'anfusakum watarabbaṣtum wartabtum wagharratkumu l-amāniyyu ḥattā jā'a 'amru llāhi wagharrakum billāhi l-gharūr

    They [i.e., the hypocrites] will call to them [i.e., the believers], "Were we not with you?" They will say, "Yes, but you afflicted yourselves and awaited [misfortune for us] and doubted, and wishful thinking deluded you until there came the command of Allāh. And the Deceiver [i.e., Satan] deceived you concerning Allāh.

    By hypocrisy or by falling into temptations.

15. 57:15 ▶

    فَٱلْيَوْمَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَلَا مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ مَأْوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ هِىَ مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴿١٥﴾

    fal-yawma lā yu'khadhu minkum fidyatuw walā mina lladhīna kafarū | ma'wākumu n-nār | hiya mawlākum | wabi'sa l-maṣīr

    So today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved. Your refuge is the Fire. It is most worthy of you, and wretched is the destination."

16. 57:16 ▶

    ۞ أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

    alam ya'ni lilladhīna 'āmanū 'an takhshaʿa qulūbuhum lidhikri llāhi wamā nazala mina l-ḥaqqi walā yakūnū kalladhīna 'ūtu l-kitāba min qablu faṭāla ʿalayhimu l-amadu faqasat qulūbuhum | wakathīrum minhum fāsiqūn

    Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allāh and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.

17. 57:17 ▶

    ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحْىِ ٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٧﴾

    iʿlamū 'anna llāha yuḥyi l-arḍa baʿda mawtihā | qad bayyannā lakumu l-āyāti laʿallakum taʿqilūn

    Know that Allāh gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. We have made clear to you the signs; perhaps you will understand.

    That similarly, Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) can soften a heart after its hardness and guide one who had previously been astray.

18. 57:18 ▶

    إِنَّ ٱلْمُصَّدِّقِينَ وَٱلْمُصَّدِّقَـٰتِ وَأَقْرَضُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا يُضَـٰعَفُ لَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿١٨﴾

    inna l-muṣṣaddiqīna wal-muṣṣaddiqāti wa'aqraḍu llāha qarḍan ḥasanay yuḍāʿafu lahum walahum 'ajrun karīm

    Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allāh a goodly loan - it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.

19. 57:19 ▶

    وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦٓ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ ۖ وَٱلشُّهَدَآءُ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُمْ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴿١٩﴾

    walladhīna 'āmanū billāhi warusulihī 'ulā'ika humu ṣ-ṣiddīqūn | wash-shuhadā'u ʿinda rabbihim lahum 'ajruhum wanūruhum | walladhīna kafarū wakadhdhabū bi'āyātinā 'ulā'ika 'aṣḥābu l-jaḥīm

    And those who have believed in Allāh and His messengers - those are [in the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light. But those who have disbelieved and denied Our verses - those are the companions of Hellfire.

    Another accepted meaning is "And those who have believed in Allāh and His messengers - they are the supporters of truth. And the martyrs, with their Lord, will have their reward and their light."

20. 57:20 ▶

    ٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا لَعِبٌ وَلَهْوٌ وَزِينَةٌ وَتَفَاخُرٌۢ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُرٌ فِى ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَوْلَـٰدِ ۖ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ ٱلْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَـٰمًا ۖ وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٌ ۚ وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْغُرُورِ ﴿٢٠﴾

    iʿlamū 'annama l-ḥayātu d-dunyā laʿibuw walahwuw wazīnatuw watafākhurum baynakum watakāthurun fi l-amwāli wal-awlād | kamathali ghaythin 'aʿjaba l-kuffāra nabātuhū thumma yahīju fatarāhu muṣfarran thumma yakūnu ḥuṭāmā | wafi l-ākhirati ʿadhābun shadīduw wamaghfiratum mina llāhi wariḍwān | wama l-ḥayātu d-dunyā 'illā matāʿu l-ghurūr

    Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allāh and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.

21. 57:21 ▶

    سَابِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٢١﴾

    Race [i.e., compete] toward forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose width is like the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allāh and His messengers. That is the bounty of Allāh which He gives to whom He wills, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

22. 57:22 ▶

    مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَآ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ﴿٢٢﴾

    mā 'aṣāba mim muṣībatin fi l-arḍi walā fī 'anfusikum 'illā fī kitābim min qabli 'an nabra'ahā 'inna dhālika ʿala llāhi yasīr

    No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allāh, is easy -

    i.e., the Preserved Slate (al-Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ).

23. 57:23 ▶

    لِّكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلَا تَفْرَحُوا۟ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ ﴿٢٣﴾

    likaylā ta'saw ʿalā mā fātakum walā tafraḥū bimā 'ātākum | wallāhu lā yuḥibbu kulla mukhtālin fakhūr

    In order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what He has given you. And Allāh does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful -

24. 57:24 ▶

    ٱلَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبُخْلِ ۗ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ ﴿٢٤﴾

    alladhīna yabkhalūna waya'murūna n-nāsa bil-bukhl | wamay yatawalla fa'inna llāha huwa l-ghaniyyu l-ḥamīd

    [Those] who are stingy and enjoin upon people stinginess. And whoever turns away - then indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.

    Refusing to spend for Allāh's cause or refusing obedience to Him.

25. 57:25 ▶

    لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَأَنزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ لِيَقُومَ ٱلنَّاسُ بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ وَأَنزَلْنَا ٱلْحَدِيدَ فِيهِ بَأْسٌ شَدِيدٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلِيَعْلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُۥ وَرُسُلَهُۥ بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ ﴿٢٥﴾

    We have already sent Our messengers with clear evidences and sent down with them the Scripture and the balance that the people may maintain [their affairs] in justice. And We sent down iron, wherein is great military might and benefits for the people, and so that Allāh may make evident those who support Him and His messengers unseen. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and Exalted in Might.

26. 57:26 ▶

    وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا وَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۖ فَمِنْهُم مُّهْتَدٍ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾

    walaqad 'arsalnā nūḥaw wa'ibrāhīma wajaʿalnā fī dhurriyyatihima n-nubuwwata wal-kitāb | faminhum muhtad | wakathīrum minhum fāsiqūn

    And We have already sent Noah and Abraham and placed in their descendants prophethood and scripture; and among them is he who is guided, but many of them are defiantly disobedient.

27. 57:27 ▶

    ثُمَّ قَفَّيْنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِم بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيْنَا بِعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْإِنجِيلَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ رَأْفَةً وَرَحْمَةً وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ٱبْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَـٰهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ رِضْوَٰنِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا ۖ فَـَٔاتَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾

    thumma qaffaynā ʿalā 'āthārihim birusulinā waqaffaynā biʿīsa bni maryama wa'ātaynāhu l-injīla wajaʿalnā fī qulūbi lladhīna ttabaʿūhu ra'fataw waraḥmataw warahbāniyyatani btadaʿūhā mā katabnāhā ʿalayhim 'illa btighā'a riḍwāni llāhi famā raʿawhā ḥaqqa riʿāyatihā | fa'ātayna lladhīna 'āmanū minhum 'ajrahum | wakathīrum minhum fāsiqūn

    Then We sent following their footsteps [i.e., traditions] Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allāh. But they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many of them are defiantly disobedient.

28. 57:28 ▶

    يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَءَامِنُوا۟ بِرَسُولِهِۦ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ نُورًا تَمْشُونَ بِهِۦ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٢٨﴾

    yā'ayyuha lladhīna 'āmanu ttaqu llāha wa'āminū birasūlihī yu'tikum kiflayni mir raḥmatihī wayajʿal lakum nūran tamshūna bihī wayaghfir lakum | wallāhu ghafūrur raḥīm

    O you who have believed, fear Allāh and believe in His Messenger; He will [then] give you a double portion of His mercy and make for you a light by which you will walk and forgive you; and Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

29. 57:29 ▶

    لِّئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ أَهْلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَلَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ مِّن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَأَنَّ ٱلْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٢٩﴾

    li'allā yaʿlama 'ahlu l-kitābi 'allā yaqdirūna ʿalā shay'im min faḍli llāhi wa'anna l-faḍla biyadi llāhi yu'tīhi may yashā' | wallāhu dhu l-faḍli l-ʿaẓīm

    [This is] so that the People of the Scripture may know that they are not able [to obtain] anything from the bounty of Allāh and that [all] bounty is in the hand of Allāh; He gives it to whom He wills. And Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

    As long as they refuse to believe in the message of Allāh which was conveyed through Muḥammad (ﷺ).
