Translation of Verse 65-72

65. Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you ⁶⁶⁷ whatever is in the earth as well as the ships ˹that˺ sail through the sea by His command? He keeps the sky from falling down on the earth except by His permission. Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity.

66. And He is the One Who gave you life, then will cause you to die, and then will bring you back to life. ˹But˺ surely humankind is ever ungrateful.

67. For every community We appointed a code ⁶⁶⁸ of life to follow. ⁶⁶⁹ So do not let them dispute with you ˹O Prophet˺ in this matter. And invite ˹all˺ to your Lord, for you are truly on the Right Guidance.

68. But if they argue with you, then say, "Allah knows best what you do."

69. Allah will judge between you ˹all˺ on Judgment Day regarding your differences.

70. Do you not know that Allah ˹fully˺ knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth? Surely it is all ˹written˺ in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah.

71. Yet they worship besides Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and of which they have no knowledge. The wrongdoers will have no helper.

72. Whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, you ˹O Prophet˺ recognize rage on the faces of the disbelievers, as if they are going to snap at those who recite Our revelations to them. Say, "Shall I inform you of something far more enraging than that? ˹It is˺ the Fire with which Allah has threatened those who disbelieve. What an evil destination!"

Commentary

667. For your service.

668. All prophets came with the same message: have faith in one God and do good. But each faith-community had their own law.

669. The Muslim code of life is called Sharî'ah , which means a "path." For more information, see the Introduction.
