Wa Kadhalika Najzī Man 'Asrafa Wa Lam Yu'umin Bi'āyāti Rabbihi Wa La`adhābu Al-'Ākhirati 'Ashaddu Wa 'Ab And thus do We requite him who transgresses beyond bounds [i.e. commits the great sins and disobeys his Lord (Allāh) and believes not in His Messengers, and His revealed Books, like this Qur'ān, etc.], and believes not in the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord, and the torment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting. (Ta-Ha 20:127)

Wa Lawlā Kalimatun Sabaqat Min Rabbika Lakāna Lizāmāan Wa 'Ajalun Musammáan And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, and a term determined, (their punishment) must necessarily have come (in this world). (Ta-Ha 20:129)
Fāşbir `Alá Mā Yaqūlūna Wa Sabbiĥ Biĥamdi Rabbika Qabla Ţulū`i Ash-Shamsi Wa Qabla Ghurūbihā Wa Min 'Ānā'i Al-Layli Fasabbiĥ Wa 'Aţrāfa An-Nahāri La`allaka Tarđá So bear patiently (O Muhammad SAW) what they say, and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, and during some of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day (an indication for the five compulsory congregational prayers), that you may become pleased with the reward which Allāh shall give you. (Ta-Ha 20:130)
Wa Lā Tamuddanna `Aynayka 'Ilá Mā Matta`nā Bihi 'Azwājāan Minhum Zahrata Al-Ĥayāati Ad-Dunyā Linaftinahum Fīhi Wa Rizqu Rabbika Khayrun Wa 'Ab And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh), the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting. (Ta-Ha 20:131)
Wa 'Mur 'Ahlaka Biş-Şalāati Wa Aşţabir `Alayhā Lā Nas'aluka Rizqāan Naĥnu Narzuquka Wa Al-`Āqibatu Lilttaq And enjoin As-Salāt (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the Salāt (prayers)]. We ask not of you a provision (i.e. to give Us something: money, etc.); We provide for you. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqūn (pious - see V.2:2). (Ta-Ha 20:132)
Wa Qālū Lawlā Ya'tīnā Bi'āyatin Min Rabbihi 'Awalam Ta'tihim Bayyinatu Mā Fī Aş-Şuĥufi Al-'Ū They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign (proof) from his Lord?" Has there not come to them the proof of that which is (written) in the former papers [Scriptures, i.e. the Taurāt (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc. about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad SAW ]. (Ta-Ha 20:133)
Wa Law 'Annā 'Ahlaknāhum Bi`adhābin Min Qablihi Laqālū Rabbanā Lawlā 'Arsalta 'Ilaynā Rasūlāan Fanattabi`a 'Āyātika Min Qabli 'An Nadhilla Wa Nakh And if We had destroyed them with a torment before this (i.e. Messenger Muhammad SAW and the Qur'ān), they would surely have said: "Our Lord! If only You had sent us a Messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), before we were humiliated and disgraced." (Ta-Ha 20:134)
Qul Kullun Mutarabbişun Fatarabbaşū Fasata`lamūna Man 'Aşĥābu Aş-Şirāţi As-Sawīyi Wa Mani Ahtadá Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Each one (believer and disbeliever, etc.) is waiting, so wait you too, and you shall know who are they that are on the Straight and Even Path (i.e. Allāh's Religion of Islāmic Monotheism), and who are they that have let themselves be guided (on the Right Path).
