28:60

And whateveryou have been givenfromthings(is) an enjoyment(of the) life(of) the worldﱈﱉand its adornmentAnd what(is) withAllah(is) betterﱎﱏand more lastingSo (will) notyou use intellect(60)

Whatever ˹pleasure˺ you have been given is no more than ˹a fleeting˺ enjoyment and adornment of this worldly life. But what is with Allah is far better and more lasting. Will you not then understand?

28:61

Then is (he) whomWe have promised hima promisegoodand he(will) meet itlike (the one) whomWe provided himenjoyment(of the) life(of) the worldthenhe(on the) Day(of) the Resurrection(will be) amongthose presented(61)

Can those to whom We have made a fine promise—which they will see fulfilled—be like those who We have allowed to enjoy the pleasures of this worldly life, but on the Day of Judgment will be brought ˹for punishment˺?

28:62

And (the) DayHe will call themand sayWhere(are) My partnerswhomyou used (to)claim(62)

˹Watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, “Where are those you claimed were My associate-gods?”

28:63

(Will) saythose (has) come trueagainst whomthe WordOur LordThese(are) those whomwe led astrayWe led them astrayasﱹﱺwe were astrayWe declare our innocenceﱼﱽbefore YouNotﱿthey used (to)worship usworship us(63)

Those ˹misleaders˺ against whom the decree ˹of torment˺ is justified will cry, “Our Lord! These ˹followers˺ are the ones we caused to deviate. We led them into deviance, for we ourselves were deviant. We disassociate ourselves ˹from them˺ before You. It was not us that they used to worship.”

28:64

And it will be saidCallyour partnersAnd they will call thembut notthey will respondto themand they will seeﲋﲌthe punishmentIf only[that] theyhad beenguided(64)

It will be said ˹to the disbelievers˺, “Call upon your associate-gods ˹for help˺.” So they will call them, but will receive no response. And they will face the punishment, wishing they had been ˹rightly˺ guided!

28:65

And (the) DayHe will call themand sayWhatdid you answerthe Messengers(65)

And ˹watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, asking, “What response did you give to the messengers?”

28:66

But (will) be obscureto themthe informationthat dayso theywill not ask one anotherwill not ask one another(66)

They will be too dumbstruck on that Day to ask one another ˹for answers˺.

28:67

But as for(him) whorepentedand believedand didrighteousnessthen perhaps[that]he will beofthe successful ones(67)

As for those who repent, believe, and do good ˹in this world˺, it is right to hope that they will be among the successful.

28:68

And your LordcreateswhatHe willsﲱﲲand choosesNotthey havefor themﲶﲷthe choiceGlory be(to) Allahand High is Heabove whatthey associate (with Him)(68)

Your Lord creates and chooses whatever He wills—the choice is not theirs. Glorified and Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

28:69

And your Lordﲿknowswhatconcealstheir breastsand whatthey declare(69)

And your Lord knows what their hearts conceal and what they reveal.

He is Allah. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him. All praise belongs to Him in this life and the next. All authority is His. And to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned.
