Translation of Verse 192-227

192. This is certainly a revelation from the Lord of all worlds,

193. which the trustworthy spirit ˹Gabriel˺ brought down

194. into your heart ˹O Prophet˺-so that you may be one of the warners-

195. in a clear Arabic tongue.

196. And it has indeed been ˹foretold˺ in the Scriptures of those before.

197. Was it not sufficient proof for the deniers that it has been recognized by the knowledgeable among the Children of Israel? 761

198. Had We revealed it to a non-Arab,

199. who would then recite it to the deniers ˹in fluent Arabic˺, still they would not have believed in it!

200. This is how We allow denial ˹to steep˺ into the hearts of the wicked.

201. They will not believe in it until they see the painful punishment,

202. which will take them by surprise when they least expect ˹it˺.

203. Then they will cry, "Can we be allowed more time?"

204. Do they ˹really˺ seek to hasten Our torment?

205. Imagine ˹O Prophet˺ if We allowed them enjoyment for years,

206. then there came to them what they had been threatened with:

207. would that enjoyment be of any benefit to them ˹at all˺?

208. We have never destroyed a society without warners

209. to remind ˹them˺, for We would never wrong ˹anyone˺.

210. It was not the devils who brought this ˹Quran˺ down:

211. it is not for them ˹to do so˺, nor can they,

212. for they are strictly barred from ˹even˺ overhearing ˹it˺. 762

213. So do not ever call upon any other god besides Allah, or you will be one of the punished.

214. And warn ˹all, starting with˺ your closest relatives,

215. and be gracious to the believers who follow you.

216. But if they disobey you, say, "I am certainly free of what you do."

217. Put your trust in the Almighty, Most Merciful,

218. Who sees you when you rise ˹for prayer at night˺,

219. as well as your movements ˹in prayer˺ along with ˹fellow˺ worshippers.

220. He ˹alone˺ is indeed the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

221. Shall I inform you of whom the devils ˹actually˺ descend upon?

222. They descend upon every sinful liar,

223. who gives an ˹attentive˺ ear ˹to half-truths˺, mostly passing on sheer lies. 763

224. As for poets, they are followed ˹merely˺ by deviants.

225. Do you not see how they rant in every field, 764

226. only saying what they never do?

227. Except those who believe, do good, remember Allah often, and ˹poetically˺ avenge ˹the believers˺ after being wrongfully slandered. The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet.


Commentary

761. i.e., 'Abdullâh ibn Salâm, a Jewish authority, who accepted Islam during the time of the Prophet ( ﷺ ) .

762. The devils can no longer eavesdrop on heaven. See 72:8-10.

763. This refers to fortune-tellers who listen to Satanic whispers, adding more lies as they pass on the information to people.

764. lit., roam aimlessly in every valley.
