فَاطِر : ٣٩

  • هُوَ He
  • ٱلَّذِي (is) the One Who
  • جَعَلَكُمۡ made you
  • خَلَٰٓئِفَ successors
  • فِي in
  • ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ the earth
  • فَمَن And whoever
  • كَفَرَ disbelieves
  • فَعَلَيۡهِ then upon him
  • كُفۡرُهُۥۖ (is) his disbelief
  • وَلَا And not
  • يَزِيدُ increase
  • ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers
  • كُفۡرُهُمۡ their disbelief
  • عِندَ near
  • رَبِّهِمۡ their Lord
  • إِلَّا except
  • مَقۡتٗاۖ (in) hatred
  • وَلَا and not
  • يَزِيدُ increase
  • ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers
  • كُفۡرُهُمۡ their disbelief
  • إِلَّا except
  • خَسَارٗا (in) loss
It is He who has made you successors upon the earth. And whoever disbelieves - upon him will be [the consequence of] his disbelief. And the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them in the sight of their Lord except in hatred; and the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them except in loss.
It is He Who made you successors in the earth (khalaa'if, 'successors', is the plural of khaleefa) in other words, one succeeding the other. So whoever disbelieves, of you, his disbelief will be to his own detriment, that is, the evil consequences of his disbelief [will be so]. And their disbelief does not increase the disbelievers with their Lord [in anything] except disfavour, wrath. And their disbelief does not increase the disbelievers [in anything] except loss, of [the reward of] the Hereafter.
