23:71

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ  ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ

вəлəви-ттəбə'əль-həќќу əhвəə`əhум лəфəсəдəтис-сəмəəвəəту вəəль`əрду вəмəŋŋ-фииhинн, бəль əтəйнəəhумм-биз̃икриhим фəhум 'əŋŋ-з̃икриhим-му'ридуун

Had the truth followed their desires, the heavens and the earth would have surely fallen apart [along] with those who are in them. Indeed, We have brought them their Reminder, but they are disregardful of their Reminder.

23:72

أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ  ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

əм тəс`əлюhум хōрджəн фəхōрōōджу рōббикə хōйр, вəhувə хōйрур-рōōзиќиин

Do you ask a recompense from them? Your Lord’s recompense is better, and He is the best of providers.

23:73

وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

вə`иннəкə лəтəд'ууhум илəə сырōōтымм-мустəќиим

Indeed you invite them to a straight path,

23:74

وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ

вə`иннəль-лəз̃иинə лəə йу`минуунə би-ль-əəхырōти 'əнис-сырōōты лəнəəкибуун

and those who do not believe in the Hereafter surely deviate from the path.

23:75

 ۞ وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّواْ فِى طُغْيَٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

вəлəу рōhимнəəhум вəкəшəфнəə мəə биhим-миŋŋ-дурриль-лəлəджджуу фии туґйəəниhим йə'мəhуун

Should We have mercy upon them and remove their distress, they would surely persist, bewildered in their rebellion.

23:76

وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُواْ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ

вəлəќōд əхōз̃нəəhумм-би-ль-'əз̃əəби фəмəə-стəкəəнуу лирōббиhим вəмəə йəтəдōррō'уун

We have already seized them with punishment, yet they did not humble themselves before their Lord, nor will they entreat [Him for mercy]

23:77

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ

həттəə из̃əə фəтəhнəə 'əлэйhимм-бəəбəн з̃əə 'əз̃əəбин шəдиидин из̃əə hум фииhи мублисуун

until We open on them the gate of a severe punishment, whereupon they will be despondent in it.

23:78

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ  ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ

вəhувəль-лəз̃ии əŋŋшə`ə лəкумус-сəм'ə вəəль`əбсōōрō вəəль`əф`идəh, ќōлиилəмм-мəə тəшкуруун

It is He who made for you hearing, eyesight, and hearts. Little do you thank.

23:79

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى ذَرَأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

вəhувəль-лəз̃ии з̃əрō`əкум фииль-əрды вə`илəйhи туhшəруун

It is He who created you on the earth, and you will be mustered toward Him.

23:80

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخْتِلَٰفُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ  ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

вəhувəль-лəз̃ии йуhйии вəйумииту вəлəhу-хтилəəфуль-лэйли вəн-нəhəəр, əфəлəə тə'ќилююн

And it is He who gives life and brings death, and due to Him is the alternation of day and night. Do you not exercise your reason?
