وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَوْلَا يُكَلِّمُنَا ٱللَّهُ أَوْ تَأْتِينَآ ءَايَةٌ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ ۘ تَشَـٰبَهَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

Those who do not know say, "Why does Allāh not speak to us or there come to us a sign?" Thus spoke those before them like their words. Their hearts resemble each other. We have shown clearly the signs to a people who are certain [in faith].

قَالُوا۟ بَشَّرْنَـٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْقَـٰنِطِينَ

They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."

وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ

And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty [i.e., death].

وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ ۖ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوسًا

And when We bestow favor upon man [i.e., the disbeliever], he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنَا لَمَّا صَبَرُوا۟ ۖ وَكَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا يُوقِنُونَ

And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs.

هَـٰذَا بَصَـٰٓئِرُ لِلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

This [Qur’ān] is enlightenment for mankind and guidance and mercy for a people who are certain [in faith].

وَفِى خَلْقِكُمْ وَمَا يَبُثُّ مِن دَآبَّةٍ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ

And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith].

إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Indeed, this is the true certainty,

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

إِنِّى ظَنَنتُ أَنِّى مُلَـٰقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ

Indeed, I was certain that I would be meeting my account."

وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

And we used to deny the Day of Recompense

حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ

Until there came to us the certainty [i.e., death]."

ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Then, no! You are going to know.

لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ

You will surely see the Hellfire.

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...1

ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.1
