Translation of Verse 15-26

15. O humanity! It is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah ˹alone˺ is the Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

16. If He willed, He could eliminate you and produce a new creation.

17. And that is not difficult for Allah ˹at all˺.

18. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. And if a sin-burdened soul cries for help with its burden, none of it will be carried-even by a close relative. You ˹O Prophet˺ can only warn those who stand in awe of their Lord without seeing Him 895 and establish prayer. Whoever purifies themselves, they only do so for their own good. And to Allah is the final return.

19. Those blind ˹to the truth˺ and those who can see are not equal,

20. nor are the darkness and the light,

21. nor the ˹scorching˺ heat and the ˹cool˺ shade. 896

22. Nor are the dead and the living equal. Indeed, Allah ˹alone˺ makes whoever He wills hear, but you ˹O Prophet˺ can never make those in the graves hear ˹your call˺.

23. You are only a warner.

24. We have surely sent you with the truth as a deliverer of good news and a warner. There is no community that has not had a warner. 897

25. If they deny you, so did those before them. Their messengers came to them with clear proofs, divine Books, and enlightening Scriptures. 898

26. Then I seized those who persisted in disbelief. How severe was My response!


Commentary

895. This can also mean that they are in awe of their Lord as much in private as they are in public.

896. This implies Hell and Paradise.

897. According to a Prophetic narration collected by Ibn Ḥibbân, the total number of prophets sent around the world, from Adam ( ﷺ ) to Muḥammad ( ﷺ ) , is 124 000-of which only twenty-five are mentioned in the Quran.

898. i.e., the Torah, the Gospel, and Psalms.
