وَمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ٦٤

And this life of the world is only amusement and play! Verily, the home of the Hereafter, that is the life indeed (i.e. the eternal life that will never end), if they but knew

وَمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا

And this life of the world

إِلَّا لَهْوٌ وَلَعِبٌ ۚ

is only amusement and play!

وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ

Verily, the home of the Hereafter,

لَهِيَ الْحَيَوَانُ ۚ

that is the life indeed (i.e. the eternal life that will never end),

لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ

if they but knew

فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ ٦٥

And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah, making their Faith pure for Him only, but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others.

فَإِذَا رَكِبُوا فِي الْفُلْكِ

And when they embark on a ship,

دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ

they invoke Allah, making their Faith pure for Him only,

فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ

but when He brings them safely to land,

إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ

behold, they give a share of their worship to others.

لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوا ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ٦٦

So that they become ingrate for that which We have given them, and that they take their enjoyment (as a warning and a threat), but they will come to know.

لِيَكْفُرُوا بِمَا آتَيْنَاهُمْ

So that they become ingrate for that which We have given them

وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوا ۖ

and that they take their enjoyment

فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

but they will come to know

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا آمِنًا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ ۚ أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَكْفُرُونَ ٦٧

Have they not seen that We have made (Makkah) a sanctuary secure, and that men are being snatched away from all around them? Then do they believe in Batil (falsehood - polytheism, idols and all deities other than Allah), and deny (become ingrate for) the Graces of Allah?

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا

Have they not seen

أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَمًا آمِنًا

that We have made (Makkah) a sanctuary secure

وَيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ ۚ

and that men are being snatched away from all around them?

أَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ

Then do they believe in Batil (falsehood - polytheism, idols and all deities other than Allah)

وَبِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ يَكْفُرُونَ

and deny (become ingrate for) the Graces of Allah?
