45:23

ﱁHave you seenﱂ(he) whoﱃtakesﱄ(as) his godﱅhis desireﱆand Allah lets him go astrayﱇand Allah lets him go astrayﱈknowinglyﱉknowinglyﱊand He sets a sealﱋuponﱌhis hearingﱍand his heartﱎand putsﱏoverﱐhis visionﱑa veilﱒThen whoﱓwill guide himﱔafterﱕafterﱖﱗAllahﱘThen will notﱙyou receive admonitionﱚ(23)

Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ those who have taken their own desires as their god? ˹And so˺ Allah left them to stray knowingly, sealed their hearing and hearts, and placed a cover on their sight. Who then can guide them after Allah? Will you ˹all˺ not then be mindful?

45:24

ﱛAnd they sayﱜNotﱝitﱞ(is) butﱟour lifeﱠ(of) the worldﱡwe dieﱢand we liveﱣand notﱤdestroys usﱥexceptﱦﱧthe timeﱨAnd notﱩfor themﱪof thatﱫanyﱬﱭknowledgeﱮnotﱯtheyﱰ(do) butﱱguessﱲ(24)

And they argue, “There is nothing beyond our worldly life. We die; others are born. And nothing destroys us but ˹the passage of˺ time.” Yet they have no knowledge ˹in support˺ of this ˹claim˺. They only speculate.

45:25

ﱳAnd whenﱴare recitedﱵto themﱶOur Versesﱷclearﱸnotﱹisﱺtheir argumentﱻexceptﱼthatﱽthey sayﱾBringﱿour forefathersﲀifﲁyou areﲂtruthfulﲃ(25)

And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: “Bring our forefathers back, if what you say is true!”

45:26

ﲄSayﲅAllahﲆgives you lifeﲇthenﲈcauses you to dieﲉthenﲊHe will gather youﲋtoﲌ(the) Dayﲍ(of) the Resurrectionﲎnoﲏdoubtﲐabout itﲑButﲒmostﲓ(of) the peopleﲔ(do) notﲕknowﲖ(26)

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ gives you life, then causes you to die, then will gather you ˹all˺ on the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know.”

45:27

ﲗAnd for Allahﲘ(is the) dominionﲙ(of) the heavensﲚﲛand the earthﲜand (the) Dayﲝis establishedﲞthe Hourﲟthat Dayﲠwill loseﲡthe falsifiersﲢ(27)

To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. On the Day the Hour will be established, the people of falsehood will then be in ˹total˺ loss.

45:28

ﲣAnd you will seeﲤeveryﲥnationﲦﲧkneelingﲨEveryﲩnationﲪwill be calledﲫtoﲬits recordﲭTodayﲮyou will be recompensedﲯ(for) whatﲰyou used toﲱdoﲲ(28)

And you will see every faith-community on its knees. Every community will be summoned to its record ˹of deeds˺. ˹They all will be told,˺ “This Day you will be rewarded for what you used to do.

45:29

ﲳThisﲴOur Recordﲵspeaksﲶabout youﲷﲸin truthﲹIndeed, Weﲺ[We] used toﲻtranscribeﲼwhatﲽyou used toﲾdoﲿ(29)

This record of Ours speaks the truth about you. Indeed, We always had your deeds recorded ˹by the angels˺.”

45:30

ﳀThen as forﳁthose whoﳂbelievedﳃand didﳄ[the] righteous deedsﳅwill admit themﳆtheir Lordﳇin(to)ﳈﳉHis mercyﳊThatﳋ[it]ﳌ(is) the successﳍclearﳎ(30)

As for those who believed and did good, their Lord will admit them into His mercy. That is ˹truly˺ the absolute triumph.

45:31

ﳏBut as forﳐthose whoﳑdisbelievedﳒThen were notﳓThen were notﳔMy Versesﳕrecitedﳖto youﳗbut you were proudﳘand you becameﳙa peopleﳚcriminalsﳛ(31)

And as for those who disbelieved, ˹they will be told,˺ “Were My revelations not recited to you, yet you acted arrogantly and were a wicked people?

45:32

ﳜAnd whenﳝit was saidﳞIndeedﳟ(the) Promiseﳠ(of) Allahﳡ(is) trueﳢand the Hour ﳣ(there is) noﳤdoubtﳥabout itﳦyou saidﳧNotﳨwe knowﳩwhatﳪthe Hour (is)ﳫNotﳬwe thinkﳭexceptﳮan assumptionﳯand notﳰweﳱ(are) convincedﳲ(32)

And whenever it was said ˹to you˺, ‘Surely Allah’s promise ˹of judgment˺ is true and there is no doubt about the Hour,’ you said ˹mockingly˺, ‘We do not know what the Hour is! We think it is no more than speculation, and we are not convinced ˹that it will ever come˺.’”
