Translation of Verse 41-52

41. We have surely varied ˹the signs˺ in this Quran so perhaps they may be mindful, but it only drives them farther away.

42. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Had there been other gods besides Him-as they claim-then they would have certainly sought a way to ˹challenge˺ the Lord of the Throne."

43. Glorified and Highly Exalted is He above what they claim!

44. The seven heavens, the earth, and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify His praises-but you ˹simply˺ cannot comprehend their glorification. He is indeed Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.

45. When you ˹O Prophet˺ recite the Quran, We put a hidden barrier between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter.

46. We have cast veils over their hearts-leaving them unable to comprehend it-and deafness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.

47. We know best how they listen to your recitation and what they say privately-when the wrongdoers say, "You would only be following a bewitched man."

48. See how they call you names ˹O Prophet˺! 524 So they have gone so ˹far˺ astray that they cannot find the ˹Right˺ Way.

49. And they say ˹mockingly˺, "When we are reduced to bones and ashes, will we really be raised as a new creation?"

50. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "˹Yes, even if˺ you become stones, or iron,

51. or whatever you think is harder to bring to life!" Then they will ask ˹you˺, "Who will bring us back ˹to life˺?" Say, "The One Who created you the first time." They will then shake their heads at you and ask, "When will that be?" Say, "Perhaps it is soon!"

52. On the Day He will call you, you will ˹instantly˺ respond by praising Him, 525 thinking you had remained ˹in the world˺ only for a little while.


Commentary

524. They rejected you as a magician, a poet, a fabricator, and madman.

525. When everyone is raised from the dead, they will all praise Allah, regardless of what they had believed in this life.
