ٱلشُّورَىٰ : ٤٨

  • فَإِنۡ Then if
  • أَعۡرَضُواْ they turn away
  • فَمَآ then not
  • أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ We have sent you
  • عَلَيۡهِمۡ over them
  • حَفِيظًاۖ (as) a guardian
  • إِنۡ Not
  • عَلَيۡكَ (is) on you
  • إِلَّا except
  • ٱلۡبَلَٰغُۗ the conveyance
  • وَإِنَّآ And indeed
  • إِذَآ when
  • أَذَقۡنَا We cause to taste
  • ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ [the] man
  • مِنَّا from Us
  • رَحۡمَةٗ Mercy
  • فَرِحَ he rejoices
  • بِهَاۖ in it
  • وَإِن But if
  • تُصِبۡهُمۡ befalls them
  • سَيِّئَةُۢ evil
  • بِمَا for what
  • قَدَّمَتۡ have sent forth
  • أَيۡدِيهِمۡ their hands
  • فَإِنَّ then indeed
  • ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ [the] man
  • كَفُورٞ (is) ungrateful
But if they turn away - then We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a guardian; upon you is only [the duty of] notification. And indeed, when We let man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices in it; but if evil afflicts him for what his hands have put forth, then indeed, man is ungrateful.
But if they are disregardful, of answering [God], We have not sent you as a keeper over them, to keep [track of] their deeds by securing what is demanded of them. Your duty is only to deliver the Message - this was [revealed] before the command to struggle [against them]. And indeed when We let man taste from Us some mercy, some grace, such as wealth and good health, he exults in it; but if some ill, [some] calamity, befalls them (the pronoun here refers to 'man', on the basis of the [plural import of the] generic noun) because of what their [own] hands have sent ahead, [because of what] they have offered [of deeds] - the expression refers to 'the hands' because most actions are effected by them), then lo! man is ungrateful, for the grace.
