Translation of Verse 172-181

172. And ˹remember˺ when your Lord brought forth from the loins of the children of Adam their descendants and had them testify regarding themselves. ˹Allah asked,˺ "Am I not your Lord?" They replied, "Yes, You are! We testify." ˹He cautioned,˺ "Now you have no right to say on Judgment Day, 'We were not aware of this.'

173. Nor say, 'It was our forefathers who had associated others ˹with Allah in worship˺ and we, as their descendants, followed in their footsteps. Will you then destroy us for the falsehood they invented?'"

174. This is how We make our signs clear, so perhaps they will return ˹to the Right Path˺.

175. And relate to them ˹O Prophet˺ the story of the one to whom We gave Our signs, but he abandoned them, so Satan took hold of him, and he became a deviant.

176. If We had willed, We would have elevated him with Our signs, but he clung to this life-following his evil desires. His example is that of a dog: if you chase it away, it pants, and if you leave it, it ˹still˺ pants. This is the example of the people who deny Our signs. 334 So narrate ˹to them˺ stories ˹of the past˺, so perhaps they will reflect.

177. What an evil example of those who denied Our signs! They ˹only˺ wronged their own souls.

178. Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, they are the ˹true˺ losers.

179. Indeed, We have destined many jinn and humans for Hell. They have hearts they do not understand with, eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with. They are like cattle. In fact, they are even less guided! Such ˹people˺ are ˹entirely˺ heedless.

180. Allah has the Most Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. 335 They will be punished for what they used to do.

181. And among those We created is a group that guides with the truth and establishes justice accordingly.


Commentary

334. Regardless of whether they are warned or not, still they will not believe.

335. Those who twist Allah's Names then use them to call false gods. For example, Allât , a name of one of the idols was derived from Allah (the One God), Al- ' Uzza was derived from Al- ' Azîz (the Almighty), and Manât was derived from Al-Mannân (the Bestower).
