Atawasaw
bihi bal hum qawmun taghoon
Translation
Did
they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Have
they, all, enjoined this upon one another? (an interrogative intended as a
denial). Nay, but they are an insolent folk, [a folk] whose own [proclivity to]
insolence has made them all say the same thing.
فَتَوَلَّ
عَنْهُمْ فَمَا أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ
Pronunciation
Fatawalla
AAanhum fama anta bimaloom
Translation
So
leave them, [O Muhammad], for you are not to be blamed.

وَذَكِّرْ
فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Pronunciation
Wathakkir
fa-inna aththikratanfaAAu almu/mineen
Translation
And
remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
remind, admonish by the Qur’ān, for reminding truly benefits believers, [these

وَمَا خَلَقْتُ
الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
Pronunciation
Wama
khalaqtu aljinna wal-insailla liyaAAbudoon
Translation
And
I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
I did not create the jinn and mankind except that they may worship Me: the fact
that disbelievers do not worship [God] does not contradict this [statement],
since a purpose does not have to be realised [in an act, for it to be valid],
as when you may say: ‘I sharpened this pencil in order to write with it’, even
though you might not actually write with it.

مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ

I
do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
I
do not desire from them any provision, [either] for Myself, for themselves, or
for others, nor do I desire that they should feed Me, or [feed] themselves or
others.

هُوَ الرَّزَّاقُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينُ

Translation
Indeed,
it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn

it is God Who is the Provider, the Lord of Strength, the Firm, the Stern.
فَإِنَّ
لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَابِهِمْ فَلَا
يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ
Pronunciation
Fa-inna
lillatheena thalamoothanooban mithla thanoobi as-habihimfala yastaAAjiloon
Translation
And
indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the
portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
for those who have wronged, their souls through disbelief, from among the
people of Mecca and others, there will assuredly be a lot, a share of
chastisement, like the lot, the share, of their counterparts, who perished
before them. So let them not ask Me to hasten on, the chastisement, should I
give them respite until the Day of Resurrection.

For
woe, a terrible chastisement [will come], to those who disbelieve, from, upon,
that day of theirs which they are promised, that is, the Day of Resurrection.
