Translation of Verse 51-60

51. And Allah has said, "Do not take two gods. There is only One God. So be in awe of Me ˹alone˺."

52. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him ˹alone˺ is the everlasting devotion. Will you then fear any other than Allah?

53. Whatever blessings you have are from Allah. Then whenever hardship touches you, to Him ˹alone˺ you cry ˹for help˺.

54. Then as soon as He removes the hardship from you, a group of you associates ˹others˺ with their Lord ˹in worship˺,

55. only returning Our favours with ingratitude. So enjoy yourselves, for you will soon know.

56. And they ˹even˺ assign to those ˹idols˺-who know nothing-a share of what We have provided for them. By Allah! You will certainly be questioned about whatever ˹lies˺ you used to fabricate ˹against Allah˺.

57. And they attribute ˹angels as˺ daughters to Allah-glory be to Him!-the opposite of what they desire for themselves.

58. Whenever one of them is given the good news of a baby girl, his face grows gloomy, as he suppresses his rage.

59. He hides himself from the people because of the bad news he has received. Should he keep her in disgrace, or bury her ˹alive˺ in the ground? Evil indeed is their judgment! 500

60. To those who disbelieve in the Hereafter belong all evil qualities, whereas to Allah belong the finest attributes. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.


Commentary

500. Some pagan Arabs used to bury their infant daughters alive for fear of shame or poverty. This practice was condemned and abolished by Islam. See 6:151 and 81:8-9.
