Translation of Verse 164-167

164. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth; the alternation of the day and the night; the ships that sail the sea for the benefit of humanity; the rain sent down by Allah from the skies, reviving the earth after its death; the scattering of all kinds of creatures throughout; the shifting of the winds; and the clouds drifting between the heavens and the earth-˹in all of this˺ are surely signs for people of understanding.

165. Still there are some who take others as Allah's equal-they love them as they should love Allah-but the ˹true˺ believers love Allah even more. If only the wrongdoers could see the ˹horrible˺ punishment ˹awaiting them˺, they would certainly realize that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is indeed severe in punishment.

166. ˹Consider the Day˺ when those who misled others will disown their followers-when they face the torment-and the bonds that united them will be cut off.

167. The ˹misled˺ followers will cry, "If only we could have a second chance, we would disown them as they disowned us." And so Allah will make them remorseful of their misdeeds. And they will never ˹be able to˺ leave the Fire.
