Translation of Verse 129-135

129. Had it not been for a prior decree from your Lord 617 ˹O Prophet˺ and a term already set, their ˹instant˺ doom would have been inevitable.

130. So be patient ˹O Prophet˺ with what they say. And glorify the praises of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset, and glorify Him in the hours of the night and at both ends of the day, 618 so that you may be pleased ˹with the reward˺.

131. Do not let your eyes crave what We have allowed some of the disbelievers to enjoy; the ˹fleeting˺ splendour of this worldly life, which We test them with. But your Lord's provision ˹in the Hereafter˺ is far better and more lasting.

132. Bid your people to pray, and be diligent in ˹observing˺ it. We do not ask you to provide. It is We Who provide for you. And the ultimate outcome is ˹only˺ for ˹the people of˺ righteousness.

133. They demand, "If only he could bring us a sign from his Lord!" 619 Have they not ˹already˺ received a confirmation of what is in earlier Scriptures? 620

134. Had We destroyed them with a torment before this ˹Prophet came˺, they would have surely argued, "Our Lord! If only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations before being humiliated and put to shame."

135. Say ˹to them, O Prophet˺, "Each ˹of us˺ is waiting, so keep waiting! You will soon know who is on the Straight Path and is ˹rightly˺ guided."


Commentary

617. That He will delay their judgment until the Hereafter.

618. This verse refers to the times of the five daily prayers.

619. The pagans of Mecca were not satisfied with a literary miracle in the form of the Quran, so they asked for a tangible miracle ( see 17:90-91) similar to the staff of Moses.

620. This either refers to the Biblical stories confirmed by the Quran or the prophecies of Muḥammad ( ﷺ ) in the Bible. Some Muslim scholars cite Deuteronomy 18:15-18 and 33:2, Isaiah 42, and John 14:16 as examples of the description of Prophet Muḥammad ( ﷺ ) in the Bible. However, Bible scholars interpret these verses differently.
