To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth so that He may reward the evildoers according to what they did, and reward the good-doers with the finest reward1—
those who avoid major sins and shameful deeds, despite ˹stumbling on˺ minor sins. Surely your Lord is infinite in forgiveness. He knew well what would become of you as He created you from the earth1 and while you were ˹still˺ fetuses in the wombs of your mothers.2 So do not ˹falsely˺ elevate yourselves. He knows best who is ˹truly˺ righteous.
أَفَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَوَلَّىٰ (33)
Have you seen the one who turned away ˹from Islam,˺
وَأَعْطَىٰ قَلِيلًا وَأَكْدَىٰٓ (34)
and ˹initially˺ paid a little ˹for his salvation˺, and then stopped?
أَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰٓ (35)
Does he have the knowledge of the unseen so that he sees ˹the Hereafter˺?
