Sura 74 Al-Muddaththir (The Cloaked One), ayah 31

  1. وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ

    Translation by words

    وَمَا
    And not
    جَعَلْنَآ
    We have made
    أَصْحَٰبَ
    keepers
    ٱلنَّارِ
    (of) the Fire
    إِلَّا
    except
    مَلَٰٓئِكَةً
    Angels.
    وَمَا
    And not
    جَعَلْنَا
    We have made
    عِدَّتَهُمْ
    their number
    إِلَّا
    except
    فِتْنَةً
    (as) a trial
    لِّلَّذِينَ
    for those who
    كَفَرُوا۟
    disbelieve -
    لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ
    that may be certain
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    أُوتُوا۟
    were given
    ٱلْكِتَٰبَ
    the Scripture
    وَيَزْدَادَ
    and may increase
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    ءَامَنُوٓا۟
    believe
    إِيمَٰنًا
    (in) faith,
    وَلَا
    and not
    يَرْتَابَ
    may doubt
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    أُوتُوا۟
    were given
    ٱلْكِتَٰبَ
    the Scripture
    وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ
    and the believers,
    وَلِيَقُولَ
    and that may say
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those
    فِى
    in
    قُلُوبِهِم
    their hearts
    مَّرَضٌ
    (is) a disease
    وَٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ
    and the disbelievers
    مَاذَآ
    "What
    أَرَادَ
    (does) intend
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah
    بِهَٰذَا
    by this
    مَثَلًا
    example?"
    كَذَٰلِكَ
    Thus
    يُضِلُّ
    does let go astray
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah
    مَن
    whom
    يَشَآءُ
    He wills
    وَيَهْدِى
    and guides
    مَن
    whom
    يَشَآءُ
    He wills.
    وَمَا
    And none
    يَعْلَمُ
    knows
    جُنُودَ
    (the) hosts
    رَبِّكَ
    (of) your Lord
    إِلَّا
    except
    هُوَ
    Him.
    وَمَا
    And not
    هِىَ
    it
    إِلَّا
    (is) but
    ذِكْرَىٰ
    a reminder
    لِلْبَشَرِ
    to (the) human beings.

    And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
