Translation of Verse 11-22

11. And humans ˹swiftly˺ pray for evil 518 as they pray for good. For humankind is ever hasty.

12. We made the day and night as two signs. So We made the sign of the night devoid of light, and We made the sign of the day ˹perfectly˺ bright, so that you may seek the bounty of your Lord and know the number of years and calculation ˹of time˺. And We have explained everything in detail.

13. We have bound every human's destiny to their neck. 519 And on the Day of Judgment We will bring forth to each ˹person˺ a record which they will find laid open.

14. ˹And it will be said,˺ "Read your record. You ˹alone˺ are sufficient this Day to take account of yourself."

15. Whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. And whoever chooses to stray, it is only to their own loss. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And We would never punish ˹a people˺ until We have sent a messenger ˹to warn them˺.

16. Whenever We intend to destroy a society, We command its elite ˹to obey Allah˺ but they act rebelliously in it. So the decree ˹of punishment˺ is justified, and We destroy it utterly.

17. ˹Imagine˺ how many peoples We have destroyed after Noah! And sufficient is your Lord as All-Aware and All-Seeing of the sins of His servants.

18. Whoever desires this fleeting world ˹alone˺, We hasten in it whatever We please to whoever We will; then We destine them for Hell, where they will burn, condemned and rejected.

19. But whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it accordingly, and is a ˹true˺ believer, it is they whose striving will be appreciated.

20. We provide both the former and the latter from the bounty of your Lord. And the bounty of your Lord can never be withheld.

21. See how We have favoured some over others ˹in this life˺, but the Hereafter is certainly far greater in rank and in favour.

22. Do not set up any other god with Allah, or you will end up condemned, abandoned.


Commentary

518. Some people are quick to pray against themselves or others in times of anger and frustration.

519. This refers to the deeds that one is destined to do of their own free will. Out of His infinite knowledge, Allah knows people's choices even before they make them. In the Hereafter, He will raise them from the dead for judgment.
