Translation of Verse 23-30

23. Indeed, We gave the Scripture to Moses-so let there be no doubt ˹O Prophet˺ that you ˹too˺ are receiving revelations- ⁸⁴² and We made it a guide for the Children of Israel.

24. We raised from among them leaders, ⁸⁴³ guiding by Our command, when they patiently endured and firmly believed in Our signs.

25. Indeed, your Lord will decide between them on the Day of Judgment regarding their differences.

26. Is it not yet clear to them how many peoples We destroyed before them, whose ruins they still pass by? Surely in this are signs. Will they not then listen?

27. Do they not see how We drive rain to parched land, producing ˹various˺ crops from which they and their cattle eat? Will they not then see?

28. They ask ˹mockingly˺, "When is this ˹Day of final˺ Decision, if what you say is true?"

29. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "On the Day of Decision it will not benefit the disbelievers to believe then, nor will they be delayed ˹from punishment˺."

30. So turn away from them, and wait! They too are waiting.
