Translation of Verse 83-93

83. ˹Watch for˺ the Day We will gather from every faith-community a group of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be driven in ranks.

84. When they ˹finally˺ come before their Lord, He will ask ˹them˺, "Did you deny My revelations without ˹even˺ comprehending them? Or what ˹exactly˺ did you do?"

85. And the decree ˹of torment˺ will be justified against them for their wrongdoing, leaving them speechless.

86. Do they not see that We made the night for them to rest in and the day bright? ⁷⁸⁹ Surely in this are signs for those who believe.

87. And ˹beware of˺ the Day the Trumpet will be blown, and all those in the heavens and all those on the earth will be horrified ˹to the point of death˺, ⁷⁹⁰ except those Allah wills ˹to spare˺. And all will come before Him, fully humbled.

88. Now you see the mountains, thinking they are firmly fixed, but they are travelling ˹just˺ like clouds. ˹That is˺ the design of Allah,

89. Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded with what is better, and they will be secure from the horror on that Day.

90. And whoever comes with an evil deed will be hurled face-first into the Fire. Are you rewarded except for what you used to do?

91. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "I have only been commanded to worship the Lord of this city ˹of Mecca˺, Who has made it sacred, and to Him belongs everything. And I am commanded to be one of those who ˹fully˺ submit ˹to Him˺,

92. and to recite the Quran." Then whoever chooses to be guided, it is only for their own good. But whoever chooses to stray, say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "I am only a warner."

93. And say, "All praise is for Allah! He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. And your Lord is never unaware of what you do."

Commentary

789. To demonstrate His ability to bring people back to life, Allah usually refers to some wonders of His creation, such as the planets, the alternation of the day and night, the mountains, and the development of the human embryo.

790. The Trumpet will be blown at two different occasions, signalling the beginning of Judgment Day. The first blow will cause all creation to die, except whoever Allah spares, and the second one will cause them to be raised from the dead.
