The Women · Medinan · Juz 6 · Page 105

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ أُجُورَهُمْ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِۦ ۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَنكَفُوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فَيُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا وَلَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلَا نَصِيرًا ﴿173﴾
So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and did deeds of righteousness, He will give them their (due) rewards - and more out of His Bounty. But as for those who refused His worship and were proud, He will punish them with a painful torment. And they will not find for themselves besides Allâh any protector or helper.
فَأَمَّا fa-ammā Then as for
ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna those who
ءَامَنُوا۟ āmanū believed
وَعَمِلُوا۟ waʿamilū and did
ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ l-ṣāliḥāti the righteous deeds
فَيُوَفِّيهِمْ fayuwaffīhim then He will give them in full
أُجُورَهُمْ ujūrahum their reward
وَيَزِيدُهُم wayazīduhum and give them more
مِّن min from
فَضْلِهِۦ ۖ faḍlihi His Bounty
وَأَمَّا wa-ammā And as for
ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna those who
ٱسْتَنكَفُوا۟ is'tankafū disdained
وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ wa-is'takbarū and were arrogant
فَيُعَذِّبُهُمْ fayuʿadhibuhum then He will punish them
عَذَابًا ʿadhāban (with) a punishment
أَلِيمًۭا alīman painful
وَلَا walā and not
يَجِدُونَ yajidūna will they find
لَهُم lahum for themselves
مِّن min from
دُونِ dūni besides
ٱللَّهِ l-lahi Allah
وَلِيًّۭا waliyyan any protector
وَلَا walā and not
نَصِيرًۭا naṣīran any helper
