Translation of Verse 105-111

105. How many signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by with indifference!

106. And most of them do not believe in Allah without associating others with Him ˹in worship˺.

107. Do they feel secure that an overwhelming torment from Allah will not overtake them, or that the Hour will not take them by surprise when they least expect ˹it˺?

108. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "This is my way. I invite to Allah with insight- I and those who follow me. Glory be to Allah, and I am not one of the polytheists."

109. We only sent before you ˹O Prophet˺ men inspired by Us from among the people of each society. Have the deniers not travelled through the land to see what was the end of those ˹destroyed˺ before them? And surely the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter is far better for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. Will you not then understand?

110. And when the messengers despaired and their people thought the messengers had been denied help, Our help came to them ˹at last˺. We then saved whoever We willed, and Our punishment is never averted from the wicked people.

111. In their stories there is truly a lesson for people of reason. This message cannot be a fabrication, rather ˹it is˺ a confirmation of previous revelation, a detailed explanation of all things, a guide, and a mercy for people of faith.
