ﲋThatﲌ(is) becauseﲍhadﲎcome to themﲏtheir Messengersﲐwith clear proofsﲑbut they saidﲒShall human beingsﲓguide usﲔSo they disbelievedﲕﲖand turned awayﲗAnd can do without themﲘﲙAllahﲚAnd Allahﲛ(is) Self-sufficientﲜPraiseworthyﲝ
That was because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said ˹mockingly˺, “How can humans be our guides?” So they persisted in disbelief and turned away. And Allah was not in need ˹of their faith˺. For Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

The disbelievers claim they will not be resurrected. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected, then you will certainly be informed of what you have done. And that is easy for Allah.”

˹Consider˺ the Day He will gather you ˹all˺ for the Day of Gathering—that will be the Day of mutual loss and gain. So whoever believes in Allah and does good, He will absolve them of their sins and admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. That is the ultimate triumph.
