56 : 57
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ

56 : 64
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Do you give it its increase, or are We the giver?
56 : 65
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًۭا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
Ahmed Ali

Ahmed Ali
(And say:) "We have fallen into debt;
56 : 67
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ

56 : 69
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Do you send it down from the clouds, or We send it down?
56 : 70
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًۭا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Ahmed Ali
We could make it brackish, if We pleased; so why do you not acknowledge thanks?
56 : 71
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Consider the fire that you strike (and get by friction).
56 : 72
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
Ahmed Ali
Have you raised its tree, or We have raised it?
56 : 73
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةًۭ وَمَتَٰعًۭا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
Ahmed Ali
We have made it as a reminder and convenience for the needy.

فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Ahmed Ali
So glorify your Lord, the most supreme.
56 : 75
۞ فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
Ahmed Ali
So I call the placement of the stars to witness --
56 : 76
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌۭ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
Ahmed Ali
And this surely is great evidence if you can understand --
56 : 77
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ
Ahmed Ali
That this is indeed the glorious Qur'an
56 : 78
فِى كِتَٰبٍۢ مَّكْنُونٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
(Inscribed) in the well-kept Book.
56 : 79
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Only they can reach it who are clean (of mind).
56 : 80
تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Ahmed Ali
It has been revealed by the Lord of all the worlds.
56 : 81
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
Ahmed Ali
Then why do you dissimulate this Revelation?
56 : 82
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Ahmed Ali
You live by calling it a lie.
56 : 83
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
Ahmed Ali
Then how is it that when the (dying) breath is withdrawn into the throat (and rattles),
56 : 84
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍۢ تَنظُرُونَ
Ahmed Ali
And you wait for the moment (of death),
56 : 85
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
Ahmed Ali
We are closer to him than you, even though you cannot see?
56 : 86
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
Ahmed Ali
Then why, if you are not indebted (to Us for life),
56 : 87
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Ahmed Ali
Can you not bring him back? (Answer) if you are truthful
56 : 88
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Ahmed Ali
Then, if he is one of the honoured,
56 : 89
فَرَوْحٌۭ وَرَيْحَانٌۭ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
There will be peace and plenty, and gardens of tranquility for him.
56 : 90
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Ahmed Ali
If he is of those of the right hand,
56 : 91
فَسَلَٰمٌۭ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Ahmed Ali
There will be the salutation by those of the right hand: "Peace on you.
56 : 92
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Ahmed Ali
But if he is of the deniers and the errants,
56 : 93
فَنُزُلٌۭ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍۢ
Ahmed Ali
The welcome will be boiling water
56 : 94
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
Ahmed Ali
And the roasting in Hell.
56 : 95
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Ahmed Ali
This is indeed the ultimate truth.
56 : 96
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Ahmed Ali
Then praise your Lord, the most supreme.
