بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَانِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Part 18 / Chapter 25Chapter 25 / قَدْ أَفْلَحَ المُؤْمِنُوْنَ
 
Blessed is Who sent down the Criterion to His slaveتَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الفُرْقَانَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ
that he may be a warner to mankind1لِيَكُوْنَ لِلْعَالَمِيْنَ نَذِيْرًا

and not We sent before you from Messengers except that theyوَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ المُرْسَلِيْنَ إِلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ
certainly, ate food and walked in the marketsلَيَأْكُلُوْنَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُوْنَ فِى الأَسْوَاقِ
and We have made some of you, a trial for othersوَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً
will you have patience? and your Lord is All-Seeing20أَتَصْبِرُوْنَ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيْرًا
 
Part 19 / Chapter 25Chapter 25 / وَقَالَ الَّذِيِنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ لِقَآئَنَا
 
and those who expect not the meeting with Us said, “why the angels are not sent down to usوَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَرْجُوْنَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوْلَآ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْنَا المَلَآئِكَةُ 
or we see our Lord?” indeed, they have become arrogant within themselvesأَوْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فِى أَنْفُسِهِمْ 
and they are insolent with a great insolence21وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِيْرًا 
indeed he led me away from the rememberance (reminder) after it came to meلَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَنِي
as Satan is to man a traitor (deserter – forsaker)29وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنْسَانِ خَذُوْلًا
and when it is said to them, “prostrate to the Most Merciful” they say, “who is the Most Merciful? وَإِذَا قِيْلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَانِ قَالُوا مَا الرَّحْمَانُ
shall we prostrate to who you command us?” so it only increases them, in aversion60أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا 
76 
say, “my Lord will not care for you, if not your prayer (seeking-invocation)قُلْ مَا يَعْبَؤُوا بِكُمْ رَبِّى لَوْلَا دُعَآؤُكُمْ 
but verily, you have denied so, soon will be, the inevitable77فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُوْنُ لِزَامًا
