And We bound their hearts when they stood up and said: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, we will never call other than Him any god; for then we would have said an enormity.
[Al Quran ; 18:14]

هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ آلِهَةً ۖ لَوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ بَيِّنٍ ۖ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا (15)

وَإِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ فَأْوُوا إِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِكُمْ مِرْفَقًا (16)

And when you stay away from them and what they worship except Allah, then retreat to the cave; your Lord will spread for you from His mercy and prepare for you from your affair a facility.
[Al Quran ; 18:16]

---

وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَزَاوَرُ عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَةٍ مِنْهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ ۗ مَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُرْشِدًا (17)

And you see the sun when it rose visiting their cave towards the right hand, and when it set inclining away from them towards the left, while they were in a cavity thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. Whoever Allah guides, he is guided, and whoever He misguides, then you will not find for him a guardian to guide.
[Al Quran ; 18:17]

---

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ ۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖ وَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيدِ ۚ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا (18)

And you would think of them awake while they were asleep; and We turn them to the right and to the left while their dog outstretching its forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned away from them fleeing and been filled by them with horror.
[Al Quran ; 18:18]

---

وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُوا أَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَٰذِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَيُّهَا أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا (19)

And thus did We awake them that they might question one another. A speaker among them said: How long have you remained? They said: We have remained a day or a part of a day. (Others) said: Your Lord is most Knowing how long you have remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city, then let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it, and let him make no one be aware of you.
[Al Quran ; 18:19]

---

إِنَّهُمْ إِنْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِي مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَنْ تُفْلِحُوا إِذًا أَبَدًا (20)

Indeed, if they come upon you, they would stone you or return you to their religion, and then you will never succeed.
[Al Quran ; 18:20]

Verses 21-40

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا إِذْ يَتَنَازَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًا ۖ رَبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَسْجِدًا (21)

And thus did We cause them to be found that they (who found them) might know that the promise of Allah is truthful and that for the hour, there is no doubt about it. When they disputed among themselves about their affair and said: Build over them a structure, their Lord is most Knowing of them. Those who prevailed in their affair said: We will surely take over them a mosque.
[Al Quran ; 18:21]

---

سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُلْ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِمْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا (22)

They will say: Three, their fourth is their dog; and (others) say: Five, their sixth is their dog, guessing the unknown. And (others) say: Seven and their eighth is their dog. Say: My Lord is most Knowing their count; none knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not ask about them anyone among them.
[Al Quran ; 18:22]

---

وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا (23)

And do not say of anything: Indeed, I will do that tomorrow.
[Al Quran ; 18:23]

---

إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَٰذَا رَشَدًا (24)

Except if Allah wills. And remember your Lord when you forget and say: Hopefully my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to guidance.
[Al Quran ; 18:24]

---

وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعًا (25)

And they remained in their cave three hundred years and were increased by nine.
[Al Quran ; 18:25]

---

قُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا ۖ لَهُ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ أَبْصِرْ بِهِ وَأَسْمِعْ ۚ مَا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدًا (26)

Say: Allah is most Knowing how long they remained. To Him belongs the unknown of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing. They do not have other than Him any guardian; and He does not associate with His judgment anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:26]

---

وَاتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا (27)

And recite what has been revealed to you from the book of your Lord, there is no changing to His words. And never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
[Al Quran ; 18:27]

---

وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطًا (28)

And be patient with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening; they desire His direction. And let not your eyes pass beyond them; you desire the adornment of the life of this world, and do not obey one whose heart We have made unaware of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever negligent.
[Al Quran ; 18:28]

---

وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا (29)

And say: The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him disbelieve. Indeed, We have prepared for the unjust people a fire whose walls will surround them; and if they call for help, they will be helped with water like molten brass which scalds the faces. Miserable is the drink and bad is the resting place.
[Al Quran ; 18:29]

---

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا (30)

Indeed, those who have believed and done good deeds, indeed, We will not waste the reward of any who did good in deed.
[Al Quran ; 18:30]

أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۚ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا (31)

It is them for whom there will be gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow; they will be adorned therein by bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on recliners. Excellent is the reward and good is the resting place.
[Al Quran ; 18:31]

---

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا رَجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَحَفَفْنَاهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا (32)

And strike for them an example of two men: We made for one of them two gardens of vines and surrounded them with palm trees and made between them plants.
[Al Quran ; 18:32]

---

كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ آتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ۚ وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَالَهُمَا نَهَرًا (33)

Each of both gardens yielded their food and did not fail short thereof anything, and We caused to gush forth within them a river.
[Al Quran ; 18:33]

---

وَكَانَ لَهُ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَنَا أَكْثَرُ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا (34)

And he had plant produce, so he said to his companion while he debated him: I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in manpower.
[Al Quran ; 18:34]

---

وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ قَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبِيدَ هَٰذِهِ أَبَدًا (35)

And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said: I do not think that these will ever perish.
[Al Quran ; 18:35]

---

وَمَا أَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَائِمَةً وَلَئِنْ رُدِدْتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا (36)

And I do not think the hour will occur; and even if I should be returned to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return.
[Al Quran ; 18:36]

---

قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّاكَ رَجُلًا (37)

His companion said to him while he debated him: Have you disbelieved in the One Who created you from dust then from a drop then fashioned you (as) a man?
[Al Quran ; 18:37]

---

لَٰكِنَّا هُوَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا (38)

But as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:38]

---

وَلَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنْ تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا (39)

And why, when you entered your garden, did you not say: This is what Allah willed, there is no power except in Allah? Even if you see me lesser than you in wealth and children.
[Al Quran ; 18:39]

---

فَعَسَىٰ رَبِّي أَنْ يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِنْ جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيدًا زَلَقًا (40)

And hopefully my Lord will give me better than your garden and send upon it a calamity from the sky, so it will become a dusty ground.

Al-Kahf (The Cave)

Translation

Verses 21-40

---

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا إِذْ يَتَنَازَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًا ۖ رَبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَسْجِدًا (21)

And thus did We cause them to be found that they (who found them) might know that the promise of Allah is truthful and that for the hour, there is no doubt about it. When they disputed among themselves about their affair and said: Build over them a structure, their Lord is most Knowing of them. Those who prevailed in their affair said: We will surely take over them a mosque.
[Al Quran ; 18:21]

---

سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُلْ رَبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِمْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا (22)

They will say: Three, their fourth is their dog; and (others) say: Five, their sixth is their dog, guessing the unknown. And (others) say: Seven and their eighth is their dog. Say: My Lord is most Knowing their count; none knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not ask about them anyone among them.
[Al Quran ; 18:22]

---

وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا (23)

And do not say of anything: Indeed, I will do that tomorrow.
[Al Quran ; 18:23]

---

إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَٰذَا رَشَدًا (24)

Except if Allah wills. And remember your Lord when you forget and say: Hopefully my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to guidance.
[Al Quran ; 18:24]

---

وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعًا (25)

And they remained in their cave three hundred years and were increased by nine.
[Al Quran ; 18:25]

---

قُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا ۖ لَهُ غَيْبُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۖ أَبْصِرْ بِهِ وَأَسْمِعْ ۚ مَا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِي حُكْمِهِ أَحَدًا (26)

Say: Allah is most Knowing how long they remained. To Him belongs the unknown of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing. They do not have other than Him any guardian; and He does not associate with His judgment anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:26]

---

وَاتْلُ مَا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا (27)

And recite what has been revealed to you from the book of your Lord, there is no changing to His words. And never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
[Al Quran ; 18:27]

---

وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطًا (28)

And be patient with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening; they desire His direction. And let not your eyes pass beyond them; you desire the adornment of the life of this world, and do not obey one whose heart We have made unaware of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever negligent.
[Al Quran ; 18:28]

---

وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ۚ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا ۚ وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ ۚ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ وَسَاءَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا (29)

And say: The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him disbelieve. Indeed, We have prepared for the unjust people a fire whose walls will surround them; and if they call for help, they will be helped with water like molten brass which scalds the faces. Miserable is the drink and bad is the resting place.
[Al Quran ; 18:29]

---

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا (30)

Indeed, those who have believed and done good deeds, indeed, We will not waste the reward of any who did good in deed.
[Al Quran ; 18:30]

أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۚ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا (31)

It is them for whom there will be gardens of Eden, beneath which rivers flow; they will be adorned therein by bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on recliners. Excellent is the reward and good is the resting place.

And strike for them an example of two men: We made for one of them two gardens of vines and surrounded them with palm trees and made between them plants.

كِلْتَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ آتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ۚ وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَالَهُمَا نَهَرًا (33)

Each of both gardens yielded their food and did not fail short thereof anything, and We caused to gush forth within them a river.

وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ قَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ أَنْ تَبِيدَ هَٰذِهِ أَبَدًا (35)

And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said: I do not think that these will ever perish.
[Al Quran ; 18:35]

وَمَا أَظُنُّ السَّاعَةَ قَائِمَةً وَلَئِنْ رُدِدْتُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّي لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا مُنْقَلَبًا (36)

And I do not think the hour will occur; and even if I should be returned to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return.
[Al Quran ; 18:36]

قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُ أَكَفَرْتَ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَكَ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّاكَ رَجُلًا (37)

His companion said to him while he debated him: Have you disbelieved in the One Who created you from dust then from a drop then fashioned you (as) a man?
[Al Quran ; 18:37]

---

لَٰكِنَّا هُوَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا (38)

But as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:38]

---

وَلَوْلَا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ إِنْ تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا (39)

And why, when you entered your garden, did you not say: This is what Allah willed, there is no power except in Allah? Even if you see me lesser than you in wealth and children.

أَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَاؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُ طَلَبًا (41)

Or its water will become lost, so you would be unable to seek it.
[Al Quran ; 18:41]

---

وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِ فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَىٰ مَا أَنْفَقَ فِيهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا (42)

And his produce was encompassed (by ruin), so he began to turn his hands for what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and he said: Oh, I wish that I had not associated with my Lord anyone.

وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ فِئَةٌ يَنْصُرُونَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنْتَصِرًا (43)

And there was for him no one to help him other than Allah, nor could he help himself.

There, the guardianship is for Allah, the Truth; He is best in reward and best in outcome.

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُقْتَدِرًا (45)

And strike for them an example of the life of this world: Like water which We send down from the sky so the plants of the earth mingle with it and it becomes dry pieces which the winds scatter. And Allah is ever over everything Capable.
[Al Quran ; 18:45]

---

الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا (46)

Wealth and sons are adornment of the life of this world. And the ever-lasting good deeds are better with your Lord in reward and better for hope.

وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ بَارِزَةً وَحَشَرْنَاهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا (47)

And the day when We will cause the mountains to move and you will see the earth appearing, and We will gather them so We leave not from them anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:47]

وَعُرِضُوا عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّنْ نَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ مَوْعِدًا (48)

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows. (It will be said to them:) You have certainly come to Us as We created you the first time. Rather, you thought that We will not make for you an appointment.
[Al Quran ; 18:48]

---

وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَا وَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَٰذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهَا ۚ وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا ۗ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا (49)

And the book will be placed, then you will see the criminals fearing from what is in it, and they will say: Oh, woe to us, why this book does not leave nothing small or great except that it had recorded it. And they will find what they had done present; and your Lord does not do injustice to anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:49]

---

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِي وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلًا (50)

And when We said to the angels: Prostrate to Adam. And they prostrated except Iblis, he was of the jinn and disobeyed the command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his descendants as guardians other than Me while they are to you an enemy? Miserable for the unjust is the exchange.
[Al Quran ; 18:50]

---

مَا أَشْهَدْتُهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا (51)

I did not make them witness the creation of the heavens and the earth or the creation of themselves, and I am not to take the misleaders as assistants.
[Al Quran ; 18:51]

---

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَوْبِقًا (52)

And the day when He (Allah) will say: Call upon My associates whom you alleged to be. And they will call upon them, but they will not answer them. And We will make between them destruction.
[Al Quran ; 18:52]

---

وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ مُوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا (53)

And the criminals will see the fire and will think that they are going to fall into it. And will not find from it a (another) way.

---

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا (54)

And We have certainly explained in this Quran for the people every kind of example; and the human has ever been, most of anything, disputing.
[Al Quran ; 18:54]

---

وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا (55)

And nothing has prevented the people to believe when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that the way of the former people come to them or that the torture come before them.
[Al Quran ; 18:55]

---

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ ۚ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ ۖ وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَمَا أُنْذِرُوا هُزُوًا (56)

And We did not send the messengers except as givers of good tidings and warners. And those who have disbelieved dispute by falsehood to invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My signs and that of which they are warned in ridicule.
[Al Quran ; 18:56]

---

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ ۚ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ۖ وَإِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَىٰ فَلَنْ يَهْتَدُوا إِذًا أَبَدًا (57)

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded with the signs of his Lord then he turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have made over their hearts veils lest they understand it, and in their ears heaviness. And if you call them to guidance, then they will not be guided ever.
[Al Quran ; 18:57]

---

وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُورُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ ۖ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَ ۚ بَلْ لَهُمْ مَوْعِدٌ لَنْ يَجِدُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ مَوْئِلًا (58)

And your Lord is the Forgiver, the Possessor of mercy. If He was to hold them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened for them the torture. Rather, for them there is an appointment from which they will not find an escape.
[Al Quran ; 18:58]

---

وَتِلْكَ الْقُرَىٰ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِمْ مَوْعِدًا (59)

And (as for) these villages, We destroyed them when they did injustice, and We have made for their destruction an appointment.

أَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَاؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَنْ تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُ طَلَبًا (41)

Or its water will become lost, so you would be unable to seek it.
[Al Quran ; 18:41]

---

وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِ فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَىٰ مَا أَنْفَقَ فِيهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّي أَحَدًا (42)

And his produce was encompassed (by ruin), so he began to turn his hands for what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and he said: Oh, I wish that I had not associated with my Lord anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:42]

---

وَلَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ فِئَةٌ يَنْصُرُونَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنْتَصِرًا (43)

And there was for him no one to help him other than Allah, nor could he help himself.
[Al Quran ; 18:43]

هُنَالِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ لِلَّهِ الْحَقِّ ۚ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا (44)

There, the guardianship is for Allah, the Truth; He is best in reward and best in outcome.

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَاءٍ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَبَاتُ الْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ الرِّيَاحُ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُقْتَدِرًا (45)

And strike for them an example of the life of this world: Like water which We send down from the sky so the plants of the earth mingle with it and it becomes dry pieces which the winds scatter. And Allah is ever over everything Capable.
[Al Quran ; 18:45]

---

الْمَالُ وَالْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا (46)

Wealth and sons are adornment of the life of this world. And the ever-lasting good deeds are better with your Lord in reward and better for hope.
[Al Quran ; 18:46]

---

وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ الْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ بَارِزَةً وَحَشَرْنَاهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا (47)

And the day when We will cause the mountains to move and you will see the earth appearing, and We will gather them so We leave not from them anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:47]

---

وَعُرِضُوا عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّنْ نَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ مَوْعِدًا (48)

And they will be presented before your Lord in rows. (It will be said to them:) You have certainly come to Us as We created you the first time. Rather, you thought that We will not make for you an appointment.
[Al Quran ; 18:48]

---

وَوُضِعَ الْكِتَابُ فَتَرَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَا وَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَٰذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهَا ۚ وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا ۗ وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًا (49)

And the book will be placed, then you will see the criminals fearing from what is in it, and they will say: Oh, woe to us, why this book does not leave nothing small or great except that it had recorded it. And they will find what they had done present; and your Lord does not do injustice to anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:49]

---

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ ۗ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِي وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ ۚ بِئْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلًا (50)

And when We said to the angels: Prostrate to Adam. And they prostrated except Iblis, he was of the jinn and disobeyed the command of his Lord. Would you then take him and his descendants as guardians other than Me while they are to you an enemy? Miserable for the unjust is the exchange.
[Al Quran ; 18:50]

---

مَا أَشْهَدْتُهُمْ خَلْقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذَ الْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا (51)

I did not make them witness the creation of the heavens and the earth or the creation of themselves, and I am not to take the misleaders as assistants.
[Al Quran ; 18:51]

---

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا شُرَكَائِيَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَوْبِقًا (52)

And the day when He (Allah) will say: Call upon My associates whom you alleged to be. And they will call upon them, but they will not answer them. And We will make between them destruction.
[Al Quran ; 18:52]

---

وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ مُوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا (53)

And the criminals will see the fire and will think that they are going to fall into it. And will not find from it a (another) way.
[Al Quran ; 18:53]

---

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا (54)

And We have certainly explained in this Quran for the people every kind of example; and the human has ever been, most of anything, disputing.
[Al Quran ; 18:54]

---

وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جَاءَهُمُ الْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا (55)

And nothing has prevented the people to believe when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that the way of the former people come to them or that the torture come before them.
[Al Quran ; 18:55]

---

وَمَا نُرْسِلُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ ۚ وَيُجَادِلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِالْبَاطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا بِهِ الْحَقَّ ۖ وَاتَّخَذُوا آيَاتِي وَمَا أُنْذِرُوا هُزُوًا (56)

And We did not send the messengers except as givers of good tidings and warners. And those who have disbelieved dispute by falsehood to invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My signs and that of which they are warned in ridicule.
[Al Quran ; 18:56]

---

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ ۚ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ۖ وَإِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَىٰ فَلَنْ يَهْتَدُوا إِذًا أَبَدًا (57)

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded with the signs of his Lord then he turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have made over their hearts veils lest they understand it, and in their ears heaviness. And if you call them to guidance, then they will not be guided ever.
[Al Quran ; 18:57]

---

وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُورُ ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ ۖ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوا لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابَ ۚ بَلْ لَهُمْ مَوْعِدٌ لَنْ يَجِدُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ مَوْئِلًا (58)

And your Lord is the Forgiver, the Possessor of mercy. If He was to hold them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened for them the torture. Rather, for them there is an appointment from which they will not find an escape.
[Al Quran ; 18:58]

---

وَتِلْكَ الْقُرَىٰ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِمْ مَوْعِدًا (59)

And (as for) these villages, We destroyed them when they did injustice, and We have made for their destruction an appointment.
[Al Quran ; 18:59]

---

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِفَتَاهُ لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّىٰ أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا (60)

قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَدًا (109)

Say: If the sea was ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would have been exhausted before the words of my Lord are exhausted, even if We were to bring the like of it (the sea) as a supplement.
[Al Quran ; 18:109]

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا (110)

Say: I am only a human like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God, so whoever hopes for the meeting of his Lord, he should do good deed and not associate in the worship of His Lord anyone.
[Al Quran ; 18:110]
