اَللّٰهُ Allah یَبْدَؤُا originates الْخَلْقَ the creation ثُمَّ then یُعِیْدُهٗ He repeats it ثُمَّ then اِلَیْهِ to Him تُرْجَعُوْنَ you will be returned وَ یَوْمَ And (the) Day تَقُوْمُ will (be) established السَّاعَةُ the Hour یُبْلِسُ will (be in) despair الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ the criminals وَ لَمْ And not یَكُنْ will be لَّهُمْ for them مِّنْ among شُرَكَآىِٕهِمْ theirs partners شُفَعٰٓؤُا any intercessors وَ كَانُوْا and they will be بِشُرَكَآىِٕهِمْ in their partners كٰفِرِیْنَ disbelievers وَ یَوْمَ And (the) Day تَقُوْمُ will (be) established السَّاعَةُ the Hour یَوْمَىِٕذٍ that Day یَّتَفَرَّقُوْنَ they will become separated فَاَمَّا Then as for الَّذِیْنَ those who اٰمَنُوْا believed وَ عَمِلُوا and did الصَّلِحٰتِ righteous deeds فَهُمْ so they فِیْ in رَوْضَةٍ a Garden یُّحْبَرُوْنَ will be delighted 30. Ar-Rum Page 406 وَ اَمَّا But as for الَّذِیْنَ those who كَفَرُوْا disbelieved وَ كَذَّبُوْا and denied بِاٰیٰتِنَا Our Signs وَ لِقَآئِ and (the) meeting الْاٰخِرَةِ (of) the Hereafter فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ then those فِی in الْعَذَابِ the punishment مُحْضَرُوْنَ (will be) brought forth فَسُبْحٰنَ So glory be to اللّٰهِ Allah حِیْنَ when تُمْسُوْنَ you reach the evening وَ حِیْنَ and when تُصْبِحُوْنَ you reach the morning وَ لَهُ And for Him الْحَمْدُ (are) all praises فِی in السَّمٰوٰتِ the heavens وَ الْاَرْضِ and the earth وَ عَشِیًّا and (at) night وَّ حِیْنَ and when تُظْهِرُوْنَ you are at noon یُخْرِجُ He brings forth الْحَیَّ the living مِنَ from الْمَیِّتِ the dead وَ یُخْرِجُ and He brings forth الْمَیِّتَ the dead مِنَ from الْحَیِّ the living وَ یُحْیِ and He gives life الْاَرْضَ (to) the earth بَعْدَ after مَوْتِهَا ؕ its death وَ كَذٰلِكَ and thus تُخْرَجُوْنَ۠ you will be brought forth
11. Allah begins creation, then He will reproduce it17, then you will be returned to Him.
12. And on the day when the Hour of Doom strikes, the guilty will be speechless with despair. 18
13. And none of the partners invented by them (for Allah) will intercede for them, and they will deny their partners19.
14. And on the day when the Hour of Doom strikes, people will be separated one from the other20.
15. So those who believed and performed good acts will be kept happy in a Garden21.
16. And those who disbelieved and denied22 Our revelations and the meeting in the Hereafter will be delivered up for punishment.
17. So recite glory of Allah when you enter the evening and rise in the morning23.
18. Praise is for Him in the heavens and the earth24, and (recite His praise) in the fading part of the day25 and at the noon26.
19. He brings forth the living from the dead27, and He bringsforth the dead from the living28, and He revives the earth after its death. And likewise you will be broughtforth29.
17. For explanation please see Surah Ankaboot Note No.36.
18. Those who would have come after committing the unforgivable guilt like that of polytheism, they will be despairing of the mercy of Allah and on observing the happenings on the Day of Resurrection their senses will leave them.
19. That is: In the world whom they had considered to be their intercessors with Allah and had imagined them to be having the rights and the authority of Allah and His partner, with such imagined partners their devotion would be over, and at that time they will admit that they are not their gods.
20. That is: On the Day of Judgment people will be divided on the basis of belief and disbelief, in two different groups. All differences of colour, race, nation and country will disappear. The difference on account of belief and acts will be considered the real difference, and on the basis of this difference people will be divided into groups.
21. Here the word Garden is used, which in Arabic is spoken for a garden which is beautiful and has plenty of water. The idea is to present a picture of the garden of Paradise, which is very beautiful and green and ever blooming.
22. (Kufr) disbelief and denial is not only disbelief and denial of Allah’s existence, but also of His signs and revelations, which include all those signs which prove Allah’s oneness, and the ayat which were revealed to the Prophet. Similarly denial of meeting with Allah on the Day of Judgment is also absolute kufr.
23. When these wonderful manifestations are the result of Allah’s might, which you observe daily, then you should sing His praises, and recite words of His glorification, particularly at the turning of the time during day and night when the natural phenomena occur, and the signs of change appear in the atmosphere. Seeing these signs, which divert attention towards God, you should busy yourselves in praising and glorifying Allah and in worshipping Him.
This command for reciting words of glorification are of a general nature, but this ayah and the one following it hint at the five-time regular salat (prayer) which is the best form of praise and glorification of Allah. The time of evening is the time for Maghrib and Isha prayer and the morning is the time of Fajr prayer.
24. That is: In the heavens and the earth only Allah is worthy of praises and the whole universe is busy in singing His praises. So you also join them in singing praises of your Lord. There does not arise the question of singing praises of any one else in this gathering.
25.’Ashiyya’ the fading part of the day or the last part of the day signifies the time of ‘Asr’. This time is for offering the prayer of ‘Asr’.
26. Zuhr. i.e. the time of decline. ‘This time is for offering the prayer of Zuhr.
27. This has been explained in Surah Al-e- Imran Note No.40 and Surah An’am Note No.177.
28. This has been explained in Surah Baqarah Note No.197.
29. That is: After death on the Day of Resurrection you will be revived and will live again.
