57:25

CertainlyWe sentOur Messengerswith clear proofsand We sent downwith themthe Scriptureand the Balancethat may establishthe peopleﱋﱌjusticeAnd We sent down[the] ironwherein(is) powermightyand benefitsfor the peopleand so that Allah may make evidentand so that Allah may make evident(he) whohelps Himand His MessengersﱙﱚunseenIndeedAllah(is) All-StrongAll-Mighty(25)

Indeed, We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and with them We sent down the Scripture and the balance ˹of justice˺ so that people may administer justice. And We sent down iron with its great might, benefits for humanity, and means for Allah to prove who ˹is willing to˺ stand up for Him and His messengers without seeing Him. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.

57:26

And certainlyWe sentNuhand Ibrahimand We placedintheir offspringProphethoodﱨﱩand the Scriptureand among themﱫﱬ(is) a guided onebut mostof them(are) defiantly disobediently(26)

And indeed, We sent Noah and Abraham and reserved prophethood and revelation for their descendants. Some of them are ˹rightly˺ guided, while most are rebellious.

57:27

ThenWe sentontheir footstepsOur Messengersand We followedwith Isason(of) Maryamand We gave himﱻﱼthe InjeelAnd We placedinﱿ(the) hearts(of) those whofollowed himcompassionﲃﲄand mercyBut monasticismthey innovated notWe prescribed itfor them onlyseeking(the) pleasure(of) Allahbut notthey observed it(with) rightﲑﲒobservanceSo We gavethose whobelievedamong themﲗﲘtheir rewardbut mostof them(are) defiantly disobediently(27)

Then in the footsteps of these ˹prophets˺, We sent Our messengers, and ˹after them˺ We sent Jesus, son of Mary, and granted him the Gospel, and instilled compassion and mercy into the hearts of his followers. As for monasticism, they made it up—We never ordained it for them—only seeking to please Allah, yet they did not ˹even˺ observe it strictly. So We rewarded those of them who were faithful. But most of them are rebellious.

O people of faith! Fear Allah and believe in His Messenger. ˹And˺ He will grant you a double share of His mercy, provide you with a light to walk in ˹on Judgment Day˺, and forgive you. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

˹This is so˺ that the People of the Book ˹who deny the Prophet˺ may know that they do not have any control over Allah’s grace, and that all grace is in Allah’s Hands. He grants it to whoever He wills. For Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.
