Translation of Verse 94-100

94. And nothing has prevented people from believing when guidance comes to them except their protest: "Has Allah sent a human as a messenger?"

95. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Had there been angels walking the earth, well settled, We would have surely sent down for them an angel from heaven as a messenger."

96. Say, "Sufficient is Allah as a Witness between me and you. He is certainly All-Knowing, All- Seeing of His servants."

97. Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. And whoever He leaves to stray, you will find no guardians for them besides Him. And We will drag them on their faces on the Day of Judgment-deaf, dumb, and blind. Hell will be their home. Whenever it dies down, We will flare it up for them.

98. That is their reward for rejecting Our signs and asking ˹mockingly˺, "When we are reduced to bones and ashes, will we really be raised as a new creation?"

99. Have they not realized that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, can ˹easily˺ re- create them? He has ˹already˺ set for them a time, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers persist in denial.

100. Say ˹to them, O Prophet˺, "Even if you were to possess the ˹infinite˺ treasuries of my Lord's mercy, then you would certainly withhold ˹them˺, fearing they would run out-for humankind is ever stingy!"
