Translation of Verse 59-66

59. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Praise be to Allah, and peace be upon the servants He has chosen." ˹Ask the disbelievers,˺ "Which is better: Allah or whatever ˹gods˺ they associate ˹with Him˺?"

60. Or ˹ask them,˺ "Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down rain for you from the sky, by which We cause delightful gardens to grow? You could never cause their trees to grow. Was it another god besides Allah?" Absolutely not! But they are a people who set up equals ˹to Allah˺!

61. Or ˹ask them,˺ "Who made the earth a place of settlement, caused rivers to flow through it, placed firm mountains upon it, and set a barrier between ˹fresh and salt˺ bodies of water? ⁷⁸¹ Was it another god besides Allah?" Absolutely not! But most of them do not know. 2) Who Is the Most Gracious?

62. Or ˹ask them,˺ "Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah? Yet you are hardly mindful!"

63. Or ˹ask them,˺ "Who guides you in the darkness of the land and sea, ⁷⁸² and sends the winds ushering in His mercy? ⁷⁸³ Is it another god besides Allah? Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

64. Or ˹ask them,˺ "Who originates the creation then resurrects it, and gives you provisions from the heavens and the earth? Is it another god besides Allah?" Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Show ˹me˺ your proof, if what you say is true."

65. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "None in the heavens and the earth has knowledge of the unseen except Allah. Nor do they know when they will be resurrected."

66. No! Their knowledge of the Hereafter amounts to ignorance. In fact, they are in doubt about it. In truth, they are ˹totally˺ blind to it.
