6:28

Naybecame manifestfor themwhatthey used toconcealfromﱈﱉbeforeAnd ifthey were sent backcertainly they (would) returnto whatthey were forbiddenfrom itand indeed theycertainly are liars(28)

But no! ˹They only say this˺ because the truth they used to hide will become all too clear to them. Even if they were to be sent back, they would certainly revert to what they were forbidden. Indeed they are liars!

6:29

And they saidNotit (is)exceptour life(of) the worldand notwe(will be) resurrected(29)

They insisted, “There is nothing beyond this worldly life and we will never be resurrected.”

6:30

And ifyou (could) seewhenthey will be made to standbeforeﱢﱣtheir LordHe (will) sayIs notthisﱧﱨthe truthThey will sayYesﱫﱬby our LordHe (will) saySo tastethe punishmentbecauseyou used todisbelieve(30)

But if only you could see when they will be detained before their Lord! He will ask ˹them˺, “Is this ˹Hereafter˺ not the truth?” They will cry, “Absolutely, by our Lord!” He will say, “Then taste the punishment for your disbelief.”

6:31

Losers indeed are those who deny the meeting with Allah until the Hour takes them by surprise, then they will cry, “Woe to us for having ignored this!” They will bear ˹the burden of˺ their sins on their backs. Evil indeed is their burden!

6:32

And not(is) the life(of) the worldexcepta playﲖﲗand amusementbut the home(of) the Hereafter(is) bestfor those whoﲜﲝ(are) God consciousThen not(will) you reason(32)

This worldly life is no more than play and amusement, but far better is the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. Will you not then understand?

6:33

IndeedWe knowthat itgrieves youwhatﲦﲧthey sayAnd indeed, they(do) notdeny youbutthe wrongdoers the Verses(of) Allahthey reject(33)

We certainly know that what they say grieves you ˹O Prophet˺. It is not your honesty they question—it is Allah’s signs that the wrongdoers deny.

6:34

Indeed, messengers before you were rejected but patiently endured rejection and persecution until Our help came to them. And Allah’s promise ˹to help˺ is never broken. And you have already received some of the narratives of these messengers.

6:35

If you find their denial unbearable, then build—if you can—a tunnel through the earth or stairs to the sky to bring them a ˹more compelling˺ sign. Had Allah so willed, He could have guided them all. So do not be one of those ignorant ˹of this fact˺.
