Surah An Nahl
Ayah-128, Makkah
16:35
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشۡرَكُواۡ لَوۡ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىۡءٍ نَّحۡنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمۡنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىۡءٍۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۚ فَهَلۡ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلۡبَلَٰغُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ٣٥

And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?
16:36
وَلَقَدۡ بَعَثۡنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُواۡ ٱللَّهَ وَٱجۡتَنِبُواۡ ٱلطَّٰغُوتَۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ حَقَّتۡ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُۚ فَسِيرُواۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ٣٦

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut." And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.
16:37
إِن تَحۡرِصۡ عَلَىٰ هُدَٮٰهُمۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِى مَن يُضِلُّۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ٣٧

[Even] if you should strive for their guidance, [O Muhammad], indeed, Allah does not guide those He sends astray, and they will have no helpers.
16:38
وَأَقۡسَمُواۡ بِٱللَّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡۙ لَا يَبۡعَثُ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَمُوتُۚ بَلَىٰ وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقًّا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ٣٨
Saheeh International
And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths [that] Allah will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.
16:39
لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواۡ كَٰذِبِينَ٣٩
Saheeh International
[It is] so He will make clear to them [the truth of] that wherein they differ and so those who have disbelieved may know that they were liars.
16:40
إِنَّمَا قَوۡلُنَا لِشَىۡءٍ إِذَآ أَرَدۡنَٰهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ٤٠
Saheeh International
Indeed, Our word to a thing when We intend it is but that We say to it, "Be," and it is.
16:41
وَٱلَّذِينَ هَاجَرُواۡ فِى ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا ظُلِمُواۡ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمۡ فِى ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةًۖ وَلَأَجۡرُ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ أَكۡبَرُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواۡ يَعۡلَمُونَ٤١
Saheeh International
And those who emigrated for [the cause of] Allah after they had been wronged - We will surely settle them in this world in a good place; but the reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they could know.
16:42
ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُواۡ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ٤٢
Saheeh International
[They are] those who endured patiently and upon their Lord relied.
