Translation of Verse 54-60

54. It is Allah Who created you in a state of weakness, then developed ˹your˺ weakness into strength, then developed ˹your˺ strength into weakness and old age. ⁸³¹ He creates whatever He wills. For He is the All-Knowing, Most Capable.

55. And on the Day the Hour will arrive, the wicked will swear that they did not stay ˹in this world˺ more than an hour. In this way they were always deluded ˹in the world˺.

56. But those gifted with knowledge and faith will say ˹to them˺, "You did actually stay-as destined by Allah-until the Day of Resurrection. So here is the Day of Resurrection ˹which you denied˺! But you did not know ˹it was true˺."

57. So on that Day the wrongdoers' excuses will not benefit them, nor will they be allowed to appease ˹their Lord˺.

58. We have certainly set forth every ˹kind of˺ lesson for people in this Quran. And no matter what sign you bring to them ˹O Prophet˺, the disbelievers will definitely say ˹to the believers˺, "You are only a people of falsehood."

59. This is how Allah seals the hearts of those unwilling to know ˹the truth˺.

60. So be patient, for the promise of Allah certainly is true. And do not be disturbed by those who have no sure faith.
