ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِی الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا کَسَبَتْ أَیْدِی النَّاسِ لِیُذِیقَهُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِی عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُونَ(( 41 ))

41- CORRUPTION HAS APPEARED IN THE LAND AND SEA, DUE TO WHAT THE PEOPLE'S HANDS HAVE EARNED. SO HE MAY MAKE THEM TO TASTE SOME OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE, PERHAPS THEY RETURN. (IN REPENTANCE)

قُلْ سِیرُوا فِی الاَْرْضِ فَانظُرُوا کَیْفَ کَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِینَ مِنْ قَبْلُ کَانَ أَکْثَرُهُمْ مُشْرِکِینَ(( 42 ))

42- SAY TRAVEL IN THE EARTH, AND SEE HOW WAS THE END OF THOSE FROM BEFORE. MOST OF THEM WERE POLYTHEISTS.

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَکَ لِلدِّینِ الْقَیِّمِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ یَأْتِىَ یَوْمٌ لاَ مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللهِ یَوْمَئِذ یَصَّدَّعُونَ(( 43 ))

43- THEN KEEP YOUR FACE FIRM TO THE UPRIGHT RELIGION, BEFORE A DAY COMES THAT NO ONE CAN WARD IT OFF AGAINST THE WILL OF ALLAH. ON THAT DAY THEY DIVIDE.

مَنْ کَفَرَ فَعَلَیْهِ کُفْرُهُ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلاَِنفُسِهِمْ یَمْهَدُونَ(( 44 ))

44- HE WHO DISBELIEVED, THEN AGAINST HIM SHALL BE HIS DISBELIEF, AND HE WHO DID RIGHTEOUS DEEDS, THEY PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES.

لِیَجْزِىَ الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ إِنَّهُ لاَ یُحِبُّ الْکَافِرِینَ(( 45 ))

45- THAT HE MAY REWARD THOSE WHO BELIEVED AND DID RIGHTEOUS DEEDS OUT OF HIS GRACE, THAT HE LOVES NOT THE UNBELIEVERS.
