43:4And it is with Us, in the Source Book, sublime and wise.

43:15Yet they turn one of His servants into a part of Him. Man is clearly ungrateful.

43:17Yet when one of them is given news of what he attributes to the Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he suppresses grief.

43:21Or have We given them a book prior to this one, to which they adhere?

43:23Likewise, We sent no warner before you to any town, but the wealthy among them said, “We found our parents on a course, and we are following in their footsteps.”

43:26When Abraham said to his father and his people, “I am innocent of what you worship.

43:28And he made it an enduring word in his progeny, so that they may return.

43:30But when the truth came to them, they said, “This is sorcery, and we refuse to believe in it.”

43:31They also said, “If only this Quran was sent down to a man of importance from the two cities.”

43:32Is it they who allocate the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have allocated their livelihood in this life, and We elevated some of them in rank above others, that some of them would take others in service. But your Lord’s mercy is better than what they amass.

43:33Were it not that humanity would become a single community, We would have provided those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious with roofs of silver to their houses, and stairways by which they ascend.

43:34And doors to their houses, and furnishings on which they recline.

43:35And decorations. Yet all that is nothing but the stuff of this life. Yet the Hereafter, with your Lord, is for the righteous.

43:36Whoever shuns the remembrance of the Most Gracious, We assign for him a devil, to be his companion.

43:38Until, when He comes to Us, he will say, “If only there were between me and you the distance of the two Easts.” What an evil companion!

43:40Can you make the deaf hear, or guide the blind, and him who is in evident error?

43:42Or show you what We have promised them; for We have absolute power over them.

43:43So adhere to what is revealed to you. You are upon a straight path.

43:44It is a message for you, and for your people; and you will be questioned.

43:46We sent Moses with Our revelations to Pharaoh and his dignitaries. He said, “I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.”

43:49They said, “O sorcerer, pray to your Lord for us, according to His pledge to you, and then we will be guided.”

43:50But when We lifted the torment from them, they immediately broke their promise.

43:51Pharaoh proclaimed among his people, saying, “O my people, do I not own the Kingdom of Egypt, and these rivers flow beneath me? Do you not see?

43:52Am I not better than this miserable wretch, who can barely express himself?

43:54Thus he fooled his people, and they obeyed him. They were wicked people.

43:59He was just a servant whom We blessed, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.

43:61He is a portent of the Hour, so have no doubt about it, and follow Me. This is a straight way.

43:62And let not Satan divert you. He is an open enemy to you.

43:63When Jesus came with the clarifications, he said, “I have come to you with wisdom, and to clarify for you some of what you differ about. So fear God, and obey me.

43:64God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him—this is a straight path.”

43:69Those who believed in Our revelations, and were submissive.

43:71They will be served around with trays of gold, and cups. Therein is whatever the souls desire and delights the eyes. Therein you will stay forever.

43:72Such is the Garden you are made to inherit, because of what you used to do.

43:77And they will cry, “O Malek, let your Lord finish us off.” He will say, “You are staying.”

43:83So leave them to blunder and play, until they encounter their Day which they are promised.

43:84It is He who is God in heaven, and God on earth. He is the Wise, the Knower.

43:85And blessed is He Who has sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He alone has knowledge of the Hour, and to Him you will be returned.

43:88As for his statement: “My Lord, these are a people who do not believe.”
