Translation of Verse 45-60

45. Have you not seen how your Lord extends the shade-He could have simply made it ˹remain˺ still if He so willed-then We make the sun its guide,

46. causing the shade to retreat gradually? ⁷⁴² 2) The Day and Night

47. He is the One Who has made the night for you as a cover, and ˹made˺ sleep for resting, and the day for rising. 3) The Rain

48. And He is the One Who sends the winds ushering in His mercy, and We send down pure rain from the sky,

49. giving life to a lifeless land, and providing water for countless animals and humans of Our Own creation.

50. We certainly disperse it among them so they may be mindful, but most people persist in ungratefulness.

51. Had We willed, We could have easily sent a warner to every society.

52. So do not yield to the disbelievers, but strive diligently against them with this ˹Quran˺. 4) Fresh and Salt Water

53. And He is the One Who merges the two bodies of water: one fresh and palatable and the other salty and bitter, placing between them a barrier they cannot cross. ⁷⁴³ 5) Creation of Humans

54. And He is the One Who creates human beings from a ˹humble˺ liquid, ⁷⁴⁴ then establishes for them bonds of kinship and marriage. For your Lord is Most Capable.

55. Yet they worship besides Allah what can neither benefit nor harm them. And the disbeliever always collaborates against their Lord.

56. And We have sent you ˹O Prophet˺ only as a deliverer of good news and a warner.

57. Say, "I do not ask you for any reward for this ˹message˺, but whoever wishes, let them pursue the Way to their Lord."

58. Put your trust in the Ever-Living, Who never dies, and glorify His praises. Sufficient is He as All-Aware of the sins of His servants.

59. ˹He is˺ the One Who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six Days, ⁷⁴⁵ then established Himself on the Throne. ˹He is˺ the Most Compassionate! Ask ˹none other than˺ the All-Knowledgeable about Himself.

60. When it is said to them, "Prostrate to the Most Compassionate," they ask ˹in disgust˺, "What is 'the Most Compassionate'? Will we prostrate to whatever you order us to?" And it only drives them farther away.

Commentary

742. This means that one of the great miracles of Allah is that He allows the sun to rise in the morning, causing darkness to retreat. He could have stopped the sun and the earth from rotating, so half of the world would be engulfed in complete darkness, leading to an imbalance in the earth's eco-systems and endangering life on the planet.

743. This refers to estuaries where salt and fresh waters meet forming brackish water. Although both waters mix together, each still keeps its distinctive qualities.

744. The mixture of sperm and egg.

745. See footnote for 7:54.
