Translation of Verse 45-49

45. And give them a parable of this worldly life. ˹It is˺ like the plants of the earth, thriving when sustained by the rain We send down from the sky. Then they ˹soon˺ turn into chaff scattered by the wind. And Allah is fully capable of ˹doing˺ all things.

46. Wealth and children are the adornment of this worldly life, but the everlasting good deeds are far better with your Lord in reward and in hope. 557

47. ˹Beware of˺ the Day We will blow the mountains away, and you will see the earth laid bare. And We will gather all ˹humankind˺, leaving none behind.

48. They will be presented before your Lord in rows, ˹and the deniers will be told,˺ "You have surely returned to Us ˹all alone˺ as We created you the first time, although you ˹always˺ claimed that We would never appoint a time for your return."

49. And the record ˹of deeds˺ will be laid ˹open˺, and you will see the wicked in fear of what is ˹written˺ in it. They will cry, "Woe to us! What kind of record is this that does not leave any sin, small or large, unlisted?" They will find whatever they did present ˹before them˺. And your Lord will never wrong anyone.


Commentary

557. This refers to good deeds that will benefit the believer in the Hereafter such as prayers or praises of Allah such as saying: ' Subḥâna-Allâh ' (Glory be to Allah), ' Alḥamdulillâh ' (Praise be to Allah), ' Lâ ilâha illa-Allâh ' (There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah), and ' Allâhu akbar ' (Allah is the Greatest).
