Translation of Verse 105-115

105. And ˹if˺ they ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about the mountains, ˹then˺ say, "My Lord will wipe them out completely,

106. leaving the earth level and bare,

107. with neither depressions nor elevations to be seen."

108. On that Day all will follow the caller ˹for assembly˺, ˹and˺ none will dare to deviate. All voices will be hushed before the Most Compassionate. Only whispers ⁶⁰⁹ will be heard.

109. On that Day no intercession will be of any benefit, except by those granted permission by the Most Compassionate and whose words are agreeable to Him.

110. He ˹fully˺ knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them, ⁶¹⁰ but they cannot encompass Him in ˹their˺ knowledge. ⁶¹¹

111. And all faces will be humbled before the Ever- Living, All-Sustaining. And those burdened with wrongdoing will be in loss.

112. But whoever does good and is a believer will have no fear of being wronged or denied ˹their reward˺.

113. And so We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran and varied the warnings in it, so perhaps they will shun evil or it may cause them to be mindful.

114. Exalted is Allah, the True King! Do not rush to recite ˹a revelation of˺ the Quran ˹O Prophet˺ before it is ˹properly˺ conveyed to you, ⁶¹² and pray, "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge."

115. And indeed, We once made a covenant with Adam, but he forgot, and ˹so˺ We did not find determination in him.

Commentary

609. This can also mean "footsteps."

610. Allah fully knows what fate awaits them and what they did in the world.

611. Or "... they cannot encompass His knowledge."

612. The Prophet ( ﷺ ) was eager to recite the Quran while it was being revealed to him through the angel Gabriel. So he ( ﷺ ) was told to take his time to learn it by heart once the verses are properly delivered to him.
