Quran Verses about The heart

يَوۡمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٞ وَلَا بَنُونَ ٨٨

Yawma lā yanfaʿu māluw wa lā banūn.

The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children

إِلَّا مَنۡ أَتَى ٱللَّهَ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٖ ٨٩

Illā man atallāha biqalbin salīm.

But only one who comes to Allāh with a sound heart."

۞ وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٨٣

Wa inna min shīʿatihī laʾibrāhīm.

And indeed, among his kind was Abraham,

إِذۡ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلۡبٖ سَلِيمٍ ٨٤

Idh jāʾa rabbahū biqalbin salīm.

When he came to his Lord with a sound heart

مَّنۡ خَشِيَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَجَآءَ بِقَلۡبٖ مُّنِيبٍ ٣٣

Man khashiyar-raḥmāna bil-ghaybi wa jāʾa biqalbim munīb.

Who feared the Most Merciful in the unseen and came with a heart returning [in repentance].

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ زَادَتۡهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٢

Innamal-muʾminūnal-ladhīna idhā dhukirallāhu wajilat qulūbuhum wa idhā tuliyat ʿalayhim āyātuhū zādathum īmānaw wa ʿalā rabbihim yatawakkalūn.

The believers are only those who, when Allāh is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely -

ذَٰلِكَۖ وَمَن يُعَظِّمۡ شَعَٰٓئِرَ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقۡوَى ٱلۡقُلُوبِ ٣٢

Dhālik, wa may yuʿaẓẓim shaʿāʾirallāhi fa innahā min taqwal-qulūb.

That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols [i.e., rites] of Allāh - indeed, it is from the piety of hearts.

ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَصَابَهُمۡ وَٱلۡمُقِيمِي ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ٣٥

Al-ladhīna idhā dhukirallāhu wajilat qulūbuhum waṣ-ṣābirīna ʿalā mā aṣābahum wal-muqīmiṣ-ṣalāti wa mimmā razaqnāhum yunfiqūn.

Who, when Allāh is mentioned, their hearts are fearful, and [to] the patient over what has afflicted them, and the establishers of prayer and those who spend from what We have provided them.

وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَيُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهِۦ فَتُخۡبِتَ لَهُۥ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهَادِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٥٤

Waliyaʿlamal-ladhīna ūtul-ʿilma annahul-ḥaqqu mir rabbika fayuʾminū bihī fatukhbita lahū qulūbuhum, wa innallāha lahādil-ladhīna āmanū ilā ṣirāṭim mustaqīm.

And so those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord and [therefore] believe in it, and their hearts humbly submit to it. And indeed is Allāh the Guide of those who have believed to a straight path.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡتُونَ مَآ ءَاتَواْ وَّقُلُوبُهُمۡ وَجِلَةٌ أَنَّهُمۡ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ رَٰجِعُونَ ٦٠

Wal-ladhīna yuʾtūna mā ātaw wa qulūbuhum wajilatun annahum ilā rabbihim rājiʿūn.

And they who give what they give while their hearts are fearful¹ because they will be returning to their Lord -

۞ ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِۦ كَمِشۡكَوٰةٖ فِيهَا مِصۡبَاحٌۖ ٱلۡمِصۡبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍۖ ٱلزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوۡكَبٞ دُرِّيّٞ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٖ مُّبَٰرَكَةٖ زَيۡتُونَةٖ لَّا شَرۡقِيَّةٖ وَلَا غَرۡبِيَّةٖ يَكَادُ زَيۡتُهَا يُضِيٓءُ وَلَوۡ لَمۡ تَمۡسَسۡهُ نَارٞۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٖۚ يَهۡدِي ٱللَّهُ لِنُورِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَيَضۡرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلَ لِلنَّاسِۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ ٣٥

Allāhu nūrus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, mathalu nūrihī kamishkātin fīhā miṣbāḥ, al-miṣbāḥu fī zujājah, az-zujājatu kaʾannahā kawkabun durriyyuy yūqadu min shajaratim mubārakatin zaytūnatil lā sharqiyyatiw wa lā gharbiyyatiy yakādu zaytuhā yuḍīʾu wa law lam tamsashu nār, nūrun ʿalā nūr, yahdillāhu linūrihī may yashāʾ, wa yaḍribullāhul-amthāla lin-nās, wallāhu bikulli shayʾin ʿalīm.

Allāh is the Light¹ of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light² is like a niche within which is a lamp;³ the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allāh guides to His light whom He wills. And Allāh presents examples for the people, and Allāh is Knowing of all things.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصۡوَٰتَهُمۡ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱمۡتَحَنَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمۡ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰۚ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٞ وَأَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٌ ٣

Innal-ladhīna yaghuḍḍūna aṣwātahum ʿinda rasūlillāhi ulāʾikal-ladhīnamtaḥanallāhu qulūbahum lit-taqwā, lahum maghfiratuw wa ajrun ʿaẓīm.

Indeed, those who lower their voices before the Messenger of Allāh - they are the ones whose hearts Allāh has tested for righteousness. For them is forgiveness and great reward.

وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ فِيكُمۡ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِۚ لَوۡ يُطِيعُكُمۡ فِي كَثِيرٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ لَعَنِتُّمۡ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡإِيمَٰنَ وَزَيَّنَهُۥ فِي قُلُوبِكُمۡ وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡكُفۡرَ وَٱلۡفُسُوقَ وَٱلۡعِصۡيَانَۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلرَّٰشِدُونَ ٧

Waʿlamū anna fīkum rasūlallāh, law yuṭīʿukum fī kathīrim minal-amri laʿanittum wa lākinnallāha ḥabbaba ilaykumul-īmāna wa zayyanahū fī qulūbikum wa karraha ilaykumul-kufra wal-fusūqa wal-ʿiṣyān, ulāʾika humur-rāshidūn.

And know that among you is the Messenger of Allāh. If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would be in difficulty, but Allāh has endeared to you the faith and has made it pleasing in your hearts and has made hateful to you disbelief, defiance and disobedience. Those are the [rightly] guided.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَذِكۡرَىٰ لِمَن كَانَ لَهُۥ قَلۡبٌ أَوۡ أَلۡقَى ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَهُوَ شَهِيدٞ ٣٧

Inna fī dhālika ladhikrā liman kāna lahū qalbun aw alqas-samʿa wa huwa shahīd.

Indeed in that is a reminder for whoever has a heart or who listens while he is present [in mind].

لَّا تَجِدُ قَوۡمٗا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ يُوَآدُّونَ مَنۡ حَآدَّ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَوۡ كَانُوٓاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ أَوۡ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ أَوۡ إِخۡوَٰنَهُمۡ أَوۡ عَشِيرَتَهُمۡۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلۡإِيمَٰنَ وَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٖ مِّنۡهُۖ وَيُدۡخِلُهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ رَضِيَ ٱللَّهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُواْ عَنۡهُۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ حِزۡبُ ٱللَّهِۚ أَلَآ إِنَّ حِزۡبَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ٢٢

Lā tajidu qawmay yuʾminūna billāhi wal-yawmil-ākhiri yuwāddūna man ḥāddallāha wa rasūlahū wa law kānū ābāʾahum aw abnāʾahum aw ikhwānahum aw ʿashīratahum, ulāʾika kataba fī qulūbihimul-īmāna wa ayyadahum birūḥim minh, wa yudkhiluhum jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khālidīna fīhā, raḍiyallāhu ʿanhum wa raḍū ʿanh, ulāʾika ḥizbullāh, alā inna ḥizballāhi humul-mufliḥūn.

You will not find a people who believe in Allāh and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. Those - He has decreed within their hearts faith and supported them with spirit¹ from Him. And We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allāh is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him - those are the party of Allāh. Unquestionably, the party of Allāh - they are the successful.

مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ يَهۡدِ قَلۡبَهُۥۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ ١١

Mā aṣāba mim muṣībatin illā biʾidhnillāh, wa may yuʾmim billāhi yahdi qalbah, wallāhu bikulli shayʾin ʿalīm.

No disaster strikes except by permission of Allāh. And whoever believes in Allāh - He will guide his heart. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.

ثُمَّ قَسَتۡ قُلُوبُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ فَهِيَ كَٱلۡحِجَارَةِ أَوۡ أَشَدُّ قَسۡوَةٗۚ وَإِنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡحِجَارَةِ لَمَا يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ وَإِنَّ مِنۡهَا لَمَا يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخۡرُجُ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡمَآءُۚ وَإِنَّ مِنۡهَا لَمَا يَهۡبِطُ مِنۡ خَشۡيَةِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعۡمَلُونَ ٧٤

Thumma qasat qulūbukum mim baʿdi dhālika fahiya kal-ḥijārati aw ashaddu qaswah, wa inna minal-ḥijārati lamā yatafajjaru minhul-anhār, wa inna minhā lamā yashshaqqaqu fayakhruju minhul-māʾ, wa inna minhā lamā yahbiṭu min khashyatillāh, wa mallāhu bighāfilin ʿammā taʿmalūn.

Then your hearts became hardened after that, being like stones or even harder. For indeed, there are stones from which rivers burst forth, and there are some of them that split open and water comes out, and there are some of them that fall down for fear of Allāh. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.

فَبِمَا رَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ ٱلۡقَلۡبِ لَٱنفَضُّواْ مِنۡ حَوۡلِكَۖ فَٱعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ فَإِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلِينَ ١٥٩

Fabimā raḥmatim minallāhi linta lahum, wa law kunta faẓẓan ghalīẓal-qalbi lanfaḍḍū min ḥawlik, faʿfu ʿanhum wastaghfir lahum wa shāwirhum fil-amr, fa idhā ʿazamta fatawakkal ʿalallāh, innallāha yuḥibbul-mutawakkilīn.

So by mercy from Allāh, [O Muḥammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allāh. Indeed, Allāh loves those who rely [upon Him].

فَبِمَا نَقۡضِهِم مِّيثَٰقَهُمۡ لَعَنَّٰهُمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا قُلُوبَهُمۡ قَٰسِيَةٗۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَنَسُواْ حَظّٗا مِّمَّا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِۦۚ وَلَا تَزَالُ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَىٰ خَآئِنَةٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا مِّنۡهُمۡۖ فَٱعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡفَحۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ١٣

Fabimā naqḍihim mīthāqahum laʿannāhum wa jaʿalnā qulūbahum qāsiyah, yuḥarrifūnal-kalima ʿam mawāḍiʿihī wa nasū ḥaẓẓam mimmā dhukkirū bih, wa lā tazālu taṭṭaliʿu ʿalā khāʾinatim minhum illā qalīlam minhum, faʿfu ʿanhum waṣfaḥ, innallāha yuḥibbul-muḥsinīn.

So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hardened. They distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded.¹ And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allāh loves the doers of good.

فَلَوۡلَآ إِذۡ جَآءَهُم بَأۡسُنَا تَضَرَّعُواْ وَلَٰكِن قَسَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٤٣

Falawlā idh jāʾahum baʾsunā taḍarraʿū wa lākin qasat qulūbuhum wa zayyana lahumush-shayṭānu mā kānū yaʿmalūn.

Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.

أَفَمَن شَرَحَ ٱللَّهُ صَدۡرَهُۥ لِلۡإِسۡلَٰمِ فَهُوَ عَلَىٰ نُورٖ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦۚ فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلۡقَٰسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُم مِّن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ ٢٢

Afaman sharaḥallāhu ṣadrahū lil-islāmi fahuwa ʿalā nūrim mir rabbih, fawaylul lil-qāsiyati qulūbuhum min dhikrillāh, ulāʾika fī ḍalālim mubīn.

So is one whose breast Allāh has expanded to [accept] Islām and he is upon [i.e., guided by] a light from his Lord [like one whose heart rejects it]? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allāh. Those are in manifest error.

۞ أَلَمۡ يَأۡنِ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَن تَخۡشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمۡ لِذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَدُ فَقَسَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡۖ وَكَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ ١٦

Alam yaʾni lil-ladhīna āmanū an takhshaʿa qulūbuhum lidhikrillāhi wa mā nazala minal-ḥaqqi wa lā yakūnū kal-ladhīna ūtul-kitāba min qablu faṭāla ʿalayhimul-amadu faqasat qulūbuhum, wa kathīrum minhum fāsiqūn.

Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allāh and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.

ٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحۡيِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۚ قَدۡ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ١٧

Iʿlamū annallāha yuḥyil-arḍa baʿda mawtihā, qad bayyannā lakumul-āyāti laʿallakum taʿqilūn.

Know that Allāh gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. We have made clear to you the signs; perhaps you will understand.¹

فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡذِبُونَ ١٠

Fī qulūbihim maraḍun fazādahumullāhu maraḍā, wa lahum ʿadhābun alīmum bimā kānū yakdhibūn.

In their hearts is disease, so Allāh has increased their disease;¹ and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.

فَتَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِيهِمۡ يَقُولُونَ نَخۡشَىٰٓ أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَآئِرَةٞۚ فَعَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأۡتِيَ بِٱلۡفَتۡحِ أَوۡ أَمۡرٖ مِّنۡ عِندِهِۦ فَيُصۡبِحُواْ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَسَرُّواْ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ نَٰدِمِينَ ٥٢

Fataral-ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍuy yusāriʿūna fīhim yaqūlūna nakhshā an tuṣībanā dāʾirah, faʿasallāhu ay yaʾtiya bil-fatḥi aw amrim min ʿindihī fayuṣbiḥū ʿalā mā asarrū fī anfusihim nādimīn.

So you see those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allāh will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.

إِذۡ يَقُولُ ٱلۡمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ غَرَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ دِينُهُمۡۗ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ ٤٩

Idh yaqūlul-munāfiqūna wal-ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun gharra hāʾulāʾi dīnuhum, wa may yatawakkal ʿalallāhi fa innallāha ʿazīzun ḥakīm.

[Remember] when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was disease [i.e., arrogance and disbelief] said, "Their religion has deluded those [Muslims]." But whoever relies upon Allāh - then indeed, Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ فَزَادَتۡهُمۡ رِجۡسًا إِلَىٰ رِجۡسِهِمۡ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ١٢٥

Wa ammal-ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun fazādathum rijsan ilā rijsihim wa mātū wa hum kāfirūn.

But as for those in whose hearts is disease, it has [only] increased them in evil [in addition] to their evil.¹ And they will have died while they are disbelievers.

لِّيَجۡعَلَ مَا يُلۡقِي ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ لَفِي شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٥٣

Liyajʿala mā yulqish-shayṭānu fitnatal lil-ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍuw wal-qāsiyati qulūbuhum, wa innaẓ-ẓālimīna lafī shiqāqim baʿīd.

[That is] so He may make what Satan throws in [i.e., asserts] a trial for those within whose hearts is disease¹ and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension.

يَٰنِسَآءَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ لَسۡتُنَّ كَأَحَدٖ مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ إِنِ ٱتَّقَيۡتُنَّۚ فَلَا تَخۡضَعۡنَ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ فَيَطۡمَعَ ٱلَّذِي فِي قَلۡبِهِۦ مَرَضٞ وَقُلۡنَ قَوۡلٗا مَّعۡرُوفٗا ٣٢

Yānisāʾan-nabiyyi lastunna kaʾaḥadim minan-nisāʾi inittaqaytunn, falā takhḍaʿna bil-qawli fayaṭmaʿal-ladhī fī qalbihī maraḍuw wa qulna qawlam maʿrūfā.

O wives of the Prophet, you are not like anyone among women. If you fear Allāh, then do not be soft in speech [to men],¹ lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech.

أَمۡ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَن لَّن يُخۡرِجَ ٱللَّهُ أَضۡغَٰنَهُمۡ ٢٩

Am ḥasibal-ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun al lay yukhrijallāhu aḍghānahum.

Or do those in whose hearts is disease think that Allāh would never expose their [feelings of] hatred?

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗۖ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا عِدَّتَهُمۡ إِلَّا فِتۡنَةٗ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لِيَسۡتَيۡقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَيَزۡدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِيمَٰنٗا وَلَا يَرۡتَابَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ وَلِيَقُولَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرَىٰ لِلۡبَشَرِ ٣١

Wa mā jaʿalnā aṣḥāban-nāri illā malāʾikah, wa mā jaʿalnā ʿiddatahum illā fitnatal lil-ladhīna kafarū liyastayqinal-ladhīna ūtul-kitāba wa yazdādal-ladhīna āmanū īmānaw wa lā yartābal-ladhīna ūtul-kitāba wal-muʾminūna waliyaqūlal-ladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍuw wal-kāfirūna mādhā arādallāhu bihādhā mathalā, kadhālika yuḍillullāhu may yashāʾu wa yahdī may yashāʾ, wa mā yaʿlamu junūda rabbika illā huw, wa mā hiya illā dhikrā lil-bashar.

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 disease [i.e., hypocrisy] and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allāh intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allāh send astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And it [i.e., mention of the Fire] is not but a reminder to humanity.

خَتَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ وَعَلَىٰ سَمۡعِهِمۡۖ وَعَلَىٰٓ أَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ غِشَٰوَةٞۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ٧

Khatamallāhu ʿalā qulūbihim wa ʿalā samʿihim, wa ʿalā abṣārihim ghishāwah, wa lahum ʿadhābun ʿaẓīm.

Allāh has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil.¹ And for them is a great punishment.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِنۡهُ ءَايَٰتٞ مُّحۡكَمَٰتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَٰبِهَٰتٞۖ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ زَيۡغٞ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَٰبَهَ مِنۡهُ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ ٱلۡفِتۡنَةِ وَٱبۡتِغَآءَ تَأۡوِيلِهِۦۖ وَمَا يَعۡلَمُ تَأۡوِيلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۗ وَٱلرَّٰسِخُونَ فِي ٱلۡعِلۡمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ كُلّٞ مِّنۡ عِندِ رَبِّنَاۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٧

Huwal-ladhī anzala ʿalaykal-kitāba minhu āyātum muḥkamātun hunna ummul-kitābi wa ukharu mutashābihāt, fa ammal-ladhīna fī qulūbihim zayghun fayattabiʿūna mā tashābaha minhubtighāʾal-fitnati wabtighāʾa taʾwīlih, wa mā yaʿlamu taʾwīlahū illallāh, war-rāsikhūna fil-ʿilmi yaqūlūna āmannā bihī kullum min ʿindi rabbinā, wa mā yadhdhakkaru illā ulul-albāb.

It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muḥammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific.¹ As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allāh. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding,

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوبَنَا بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحۡمَةًۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡوَهَّابُ ٨

Rabbanā lā tuzigh qulūbanā baʿda idh hadaytanā wahab lanā mil ladunka raḥmah, innaka antal-wahhāb.

[Who say], "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.¹

فَبِمَا نَقۡضِهِم مِّيثَٰقَهُمۡ وَكُفۡرِهِم بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَتۡلِهِمُ ٱلۡأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيۡرِ حَقّٖ وَقَوۡلِهِمۡ قُلُوبُنَا غُلۡفُۢۚ بَلۡ طَبَعَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهَا بِكُفۡرِهِمۡ فَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا ١٥٥

Fabimā naqḍihim mīthāqahum wa kufrihim biʾāyātillāhi wa qatlihimul-anbiyāʾa bighayri ḥaqqiw wa qawlihim qulūbunā ghulf, bal ṭabaʿallāhu ʿalayhā bikufrihim falā yuʾminūna illā qalīlā.

And [We cursed them]¹ for their breaking of the covenant and their disbelief in the signs of Allāh and their killing of the prophets without right and their saying, "Our hearts are wrapped" [i.e., sealed against reception]. Rather, Allāh has sealed them because of their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.²

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَسۡتَمِعُ إِلَيۡكَۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفۡقَهُوهُ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٗاۚ وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ كُلَّ ءَايَةٖ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُواْ بِهَاۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوكَ يُجَٰدِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٢٥

Wa minhum may yastamiʿu ilayk, wa jaʿalnā ʿalā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqahūhu wa fī ādhānihim waqrā, wa iy yaraw kulla āyatil lā yuʾminū bihā, ḥattā idhā jāʾūka yujādilūnaka yaqūlul-ladhīna kafarū in hādhā illā asāṭīrul-awwalīn.

And among them are those who listen to you,¹ but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, "This is not but legends of the former peoples."

أَوَلَمۡ يَهۡدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَهۡلِهَآ أَن لَّوۡ نَشَآءُ أَصَبۡنَٰهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمۡۚ وَنَطۡبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ ١٠٠

Awalam yahdi lil-ladhīna yarithūnal-arḍa mim baʿdi ahlihā al law nashāʾu aṣabnāhum bidhunūbihim, wa naṭbaʿu ʿalā qulūbihim fahum lā yasmaʿūn.

Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.¹

تِلۡكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآئِهَاۚ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡهُمۡ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا كَانُواْ لِيُؤۡمِنُواْ بِمَا كَذَّبُواْ مِن قَبۡلُۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ١٠١

Tilkal-qurā naquṣṣu ʿalayka min anbāʾihā, wa laqad jāʾathum rusuluhum bil-bayyināti famā kānū liyuʾminū bimā kadhdhabū min qabl, kadhālika yaṭbaʿullāhu ʿalā qulūbil-kāfirīn.

Those cities - We relate to you, [O Muḥammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before.¹ Thus does Allāh seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.

وَلَقَدۡ ذَرَأۡنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِۖ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٞ لَّا يَفۡقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ أَعۡيُنٞ لَّا يُبۡصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمۡ ءَاذَانٞ لَّا يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَآۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰفِلُونَ ١٧٩

Wa laqad dharaʾnā lijahannama kathīram minal-jinni wal-ins, lahum qulūbul lā yafqahūna bihā wa lahum aʿyunul lā yubṣirūna bihā wa lahum ādhānul lā yasmaʿūna bihā, ulāʾika kal-anʿāmi bal hum aḍall, ulāʾika humul-ghāfilūn.

And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray.¹ It is they who are the heedless.

رَضُواْ بِأَن يَكُونُواْ مَعَ ٱلۡخَوَالِفِ وَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا يَفۡقَهُونَ ٨٧

Raḍū biʾay yakūnū maʿal-khawālifi wa ṭubiʿa ʿalā qulūbihim fahum lā yafqahūn.

They were satisfied to be with those who stay behind, and their hearts were sealed over, so they do not understand.

وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ فَأَعۡرَضَ عَنۡهَا وَنَسِيَ مَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاهُۚ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفۡقَهُوهُ وَفِيٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَقۡرٗاۖ وَإِن تَدۡعُهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ فَلَن يَهۡتَدُوٓاْ إِذًا أَبَدٗا ٥٧

Wa man aẓlamu mimman dhukkira biʾāyāti rabbihī fa aʿraḍa ʿanhā wa nasiya mā qaddamat yadāh, innā jaʿalnā ʿalā qulūbihim akinnatan ay yafqahūhu wa fī ādhānihim waqrā, wa in tadʿuhum ilal-hudā falay yahtadū idhan abadā.

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.

أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٞ يَعۡقِلُونَ بِهَآ أَوۡ ءَاذَانٞ يَسۡمَعُونَ بِهَاۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعۡمَى ٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرُ وَلَٰكِن تَعۡمَى ٱلۡقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ ٤٦

Afalam yasīrū fil-arḍi fatakūna lahum qulūbuy yaʿqilūna bihā aw ādhānuy yasmaʿūna bihā, fa innahā lā taʿmal-abṣāru wa lākin taʿmal-qulūbul-latī fiṣ-ṣudūr.

So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.

أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ أَمۡ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقۡفَالُهَآ ٢٤

Afalā yatadabbarūnal-qurʾāna am ʿalā qulūbin aqfāluhā.

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’ān, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?

وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ لِمَ تُؤۡذُونَنِي وَقَد تَّعۡلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيۡكُمۡۖ فَلَمَّا زَاغُوٓاْ أَزَاغَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ٥

Wa idh qāla mūsā liqawmihī yāqawmi lima tuʾdhūnanī wa qad taʿlamūna annī rasūlullāhi ilaykum, falammā zāghū azāghallāhu qulūbahum, wallāhu lā yahdil-qawmal-fāsiqīn.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allāh to you?" And when they deviated, Allāh caused their hearts to deviate. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

كـَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٤

Kallā, bal rāna ʿalā qulūbihim mā kānū yaksibūn.

No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.¹

وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُعۡجِبُكَ قَوۡلُهُۥ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَيُشۡهِدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا فِي قَلۡبِهِۦ وَهُوَ أَلَدُّ ٱلۡخِصَامِ ٢٠٤

Wa minan-nāsi may yuʿjibuka qawluhū fil-ḥayātid-dunyā wa yushhidullāha ʿalā mā fī qalbihī wa huwa aladdul-khiṣām.

And of the people is he whose speech pleases you in worldly life, and he calls Allāh to witness as to what is in his heart, yet he is the fiercest of opponents.

وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَافَقُواْۚ وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ قَٰتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوِ ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ قَالُواْ لَوۡ نَعۡلَمُ قِتَالٗا لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ هُمۡ لِلۡكُفۡرِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَقۡرَبُ مِنۡهُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم مَّا لَيۡسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَكۡتُمُونَ ١٦٧

Waliyaʿlamal-ladhīna nāfaqū, wa qīla lahum taʿālaw qātilū fī sabīlillāhi awidfaʿū, qālū law naʿlamu qitālal lattabaʿnākum, hum lil-kufri yawmaʾidhin aqrabu minhum lil-īmān, yaqūlūna biʾafwāhihim mā laysa fī qulūbihim, wallāhu aʿlamu bimā yaktumūn.

And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allāh or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] battle, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal -

۞ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرَّسُولُ لَا يَحۡزُنكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡكُفۡرِ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَلَمۡ تُؤۡمِن قُلُوبُهُمۡۛ وَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْۛ سَمَّٰعُونَ لِلۡكَذِبِ سَمَّٰعُونَ لِقَوۡمٍ ءَاخَرِينَ لَمۡ يَأۡتُوكَۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَوَاضِعِهِۦۖ يَقُولُونَ إِنۡ أُوتِيتُمۡ هَٰذَا فَخُذُوهُ وَإِن لَّمۡ تُؤۡتَوۡهُ فَٱحۡذَرُواْۚ وَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ فِتۡنَتَهُۥ فَلَن تَمۡلِكَ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـًٔاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمۡۚ لَهُمۡ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡيٞۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ٤١

Yāʾayyuhar-rasūlu lā yaḥzunkal-ladhīna yusāriʿūna fil-kufri minal-ladhīna qālū āmannā biʾafwāhihim wa lam tuʾmin qulūbuhum wa minal-ladhīna hādū, sammāʿūna lil-kadhibi sammāʿūna liqawmin ākharīna lam yaʾtūk, yuḥarrifūnal-kalima mim baʿdi mawāḍiʿih, yaqūlūna in ūtītum hādhā fakhudhūhu wa il lam tuʾtawhu faḥdharū, wa may yuridillāhu fitnatahū falan tamlika lahū minallāhi shayʾā, ulāʾikal-ladhīna lam yuridillāhu ay yuṭahhira qulūbahum, lahum fid-dunyā khizy, wa lahum fil-ākhirati ʿadhābun ʿaẓīm.

O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief – of those who say, "We believe" with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you.¹ They distort words beyond their [proper] places [i.e., usages], saying, "If you are given this,² take it; but if you are not given it, then beware." But he for whom Allāh intends fitnah³ - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allāh. Those are the ones for whom Allāh does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.

كَيۡفَ وَإِن يَظۡهَرُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ لَا يَرۡقُبُواْ فِيكُمۡ إِلّٗا وَلَا ذِمَّةٗۚ يُرۡضُونَكُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡ وَتَأۡبَىٰ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَأَكۡثَرُهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ ٨

Kayfa wa iy yaẓharū ʿalaykum lā yarqubū fīkum illaw wa lā dhimmah, yurḍūnakum biʾafwāhihim wa taʾbā qulūbuhum wa aktharuhum fāsiqūn.

How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection? They satisfy you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse [compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient.

إِنَّمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡذِنُكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَٱرۡتَابَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ فَهُمۡ فِي رَيۡبِهِمۡ يَتَرَدَّدُونَ ٤٥

Innamā yastaʾdhinukal-ladhīna lā yuʾminūna billāhi wal-yawmil-ākhiri wartābat qulūbuhum fahum fī raybihim yataraddadūn.

Only those would ask permission of you who do not believe in Allāh and the Last Day and whose hearts have doubted, and they, in their doubt, are hesitating.

فَأَعۡقَبَهُمۡ نِفَاقٗا فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يَلۡقَوۡنَهُۥ بِمَآ أَخۡلَفُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡذِبُونَ ٧٧

Fa aʿqabahum nifāqan fī qulūbihim ilā yawmi yalqawnahū bimā akhlafullāha mā waʿadūhu wabimā kānū yakdhibūn.

So He penalized them with hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they will meet Him - because they failed Allāh in what they promised Him and because they [habitually] used to lie.

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡلَمُ ٱللَّهُ مَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ فَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡهُمۡ وَعِظۡهُمۡ وَقُل لَّهُمۡ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ قَوۡلَۢا بَلِيغٗا ٦٣

Ulāʾikal-ladhīna yaʿlamullāhu mā fī qulūbihim fa aʿriḍ ʿanhum waʿiẓhum wa qul lahum fī anfusihim qawlam balīghā.

Those are the ones of whom Allāh knows what is in their hearts, so turn away from them¹ but admonish them and speak to them a far-reaching [i.e., effective] word.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱسۡتَجِيبُواْ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمۡ لِمَا يُحۡيِيكُمۡۖ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَحُولُ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَرۡءِ وَقَلۡبِهِۦ وَأَنَّهُۥٓ إِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ ٢٤

Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanustajībū lillāhi walir-rasūli idhā daʿākum limā yuḥyīkum, waʿlamū annallāha yaḥūlu baynal-marʾi wa qalbihī wa annahū ilayhi tuḥsharūn.

O you who have believed, respond to Allāh and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allāh intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.
