Translation of Verse 73-78

73. O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ˹carefully˺: those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah can never create ˹so much as˺ a fly, even if they ˹all˺ were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ˹even˺ retrieve it from the fly. How powerless are those who invoke and those invoked! 670

74. They have not shown Allah the reverence He deserves. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty.

75. Allah selects messengers from both angels and people, for Allah is truly All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

76. He knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

77. O believers! Bow down, prostrate yourselves, worship your Lord, and do ˹what is˺ good so that you may be successful.

78. Strive for ˹the cause of˺ Allah in the way He deserves, for ˹it is˺ He ˹Who˺ has chosen you, and laid upon you no hardship in the religion-the way of your forefather Abraham. ˹It is Allah˺ Who named you 'the ones who submit' 671 ˹in the˺ earlier ˹Scriptures˺ and in this ˹Quran˺, so that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and that you may be witnesses over humanity. So establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and hold fast to Allah. He ˹alone˺ is your Guardian. What an excellent Guardian, and what an excellent Helper!


Commentary

670. Another possible translation: "How weak are the seekers (i.e., the idols) and the sought (i.e., the fly)!"

671. i.e., Muslims.
