Translation of Verse 36-44

(70:36) So, what is with the unbelievers fleeing away from you19 with outstretched necks?20

(70:37) From the right and from the left, in groups?

(70:38) Does every man of them longs that he be ushered into the Garden of bliss?

(70:39) By no means! We have indeed created them out of what they know.

(70:40) No! I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests,21 surely, We are able..

(70:41) To substitute with better than them; and We shall not be outstripped.

(70:42) So, leave them alone to indulge and play, until they encounter the day of theirs that they are promised.

(70:43) The day they will emerge from their tombs hastily, as if they are racing to a waymark.22

(70:44) Their eyes humbled, ignominy covering them. That is the day that they were being promised.


Commentary

19. The Prophet has also used the textual word. Muslim reports that,

The Prophet came upon us and said, “What’s with me that I see you sitting in small groups?” (That is, get together) – Ibn Kathir and others.

20. Some scholars have thought that the complicated structure of this verse yields exactly a meaning opposite to the apparent, viz., what is wrong with these unbelievers that they come rushing to you in groups with outstretched necks (Au.).

21. Yusuf Ali comments: “Here the witness placed before us is His own power and glory manifested in the splendor of sunrise and sunset at different points through the solar year.”

The sun’s rise from different points every new day, and its setting (its easts and the wests), is because of the earth’s 23.50 tilt with reference to its plane of revolution around the Sun. This axial inclination creates the seasons and causes the earth to receive varying degrees of energy from the sun at various regions (Au.).

22. “Waymark or landmark”: this is how the great majority have understood. However, “nusub” is also for the erected stone-idols (Ibn Jarir).
