| 39:18 The ones who listen to what is being said, and then follow the best of it. These are the ones whom God has guided, and these are the ones who possess intelligence. |
| 39:19 As for those who have deserved the retribution; can you save those who are in the Fire? |
| 39:20 But those who reverence their Lord, they will have dwellings constructed upon dwellings, with rivers flowing beneath them. God's promise, and God does not break the promise. |
| 39:21 Do you not see that God sends down water from the sky, and causes it to become streams through the land, then He produces with it plants of various colors, then they grow until they turn yellow, then He makes them dry and broken? In this is a reminder for those of understanding. |
| 39:22 If God opens a person’s chest to submission, then he will be on a light from his Lord. So woe to those whose hearts are hardened against remembering God. They have gone far astray. |
| 39:23 God has sent down the best narration, a Scripture that is similar with two paths. The skins of those who reverence their Lord shiver from it, then their skins and their hearts soften up to the remembrance of God. Such is God's guidance; He guides with it whoever He wills. And for whomever God misguides, then none can guide him. |
| 39:24 As for he who saves his face from the terrible retribution on the Day of Resurrection; and it will be said to the transgressors: “Taste for what you have earned.” |
| 39:25 Those before them have denied, and thus the retribution came to them from where they did not perceive. |
| 39:26 So God made them taste the humiliation in this worldly life, but the retribution in the Hereafter is far greater, if only they knew. |
| 39:27 And We have put forth for the people in this Qur’an from every example, that they may take heed. |
