6:131

That (is because)[that]notisyour Lordone who destroysthe citiesfor (their) wrongdoingwhile their people(are) unaware(131)

This ˹sending of the messengers˺ is because your Lord would never destroy a society for their wrongdoing while its people are unaware ˹of the truth˺.

6:132

And for all(will be) degreesfor whatﱏﱐthey didAnd not(is) your Lordunawareabout whatthey do(132)

They will each be assigned ranks according to their deeds. And your Lord is not unaware of what they do.

Your Lord is the Self-Sufficient, Full of Mercy. If He wills, He can do away with you and replace you with whoever He wills, just as He produced you from the offspring of other people.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O my people! Persist in your ways, for I ˹too˺ will persist in mine. You will soon know who will fare best in the end. Indeed, the wrongdoers will never succeed.”

And they assignto Allahout of whatHe producedofthe cropsand the cattlea shareand they sayThis(is) for Allahby their claimAnd thisﲖﲗ(is) for our partnersBut whatisfor their partners(does) notreach[to]ﲞﲟAllahwhile whatisfor Allahthen itreaches[to]ﲦﲧtheir partnersEvil(is) whatthey judge(136)

The pagans set aside for Allah a share of the crops and cattle He created, saying, “This ˹portion˺ is for Allah,” so they claim, “and this ˹one˺ for our associate-gods.” Yet the portion of their associate-gods is not shared with Allah while Allah’s portion is shared with their associate-gods. What unfair judgment!

6:137

And likewisemade pleasingto manyofthe polytheists (the) killing(of) their children their partners so that they may ruin themand that they make confusingto themﲷﲸtheir religionAnd if(had) willedAllahnotﲽﲾ(would) they have done soﲿSo leave themand whatthey invent(137)

Likewise, the pagans’ evil associates have made it appealing to them to kill their own children—only leading to their destruction as well as confusion in their faith. Had it been Allah’s Will, they would not have done such a thing. So leave them and their falsehood.
