Translation of Verse 46-54

46. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "I advise you to do ˹only˺ one thing: stand up for ˹the sake of˺ Allah-individually or in pairs-then reflect. Your fellow man ⁸⁸⁸ is not insane. He is only a warner to you before ˹the coming of˺ a severe punishment."

47. Say, "If I had ever asked you for a reward, you could keep it. My reward is only from Allah. And He is a Witness over all things."

48. Say, "Surely my Lord hurls the truth ˹against falsehood˺. ˹He is˺ the Knower of all unseen."

49. Say, "The truth has come, and falsehood will vanish, never to return."

50. Say, "If I am astray, the loss is only mine. And if I am guided, it is ˹only˺ because of what my Lord reveals to me. He is indeed All-Hearing, Ever Near."

51. If only you could see when they will be horrified with no escape ˹on Judgment Day˺! And they will be seized from a nearby place. ⁸⁸⁹

52. They will ˹then˺ cry, "We do ˹now˺ believe in it ˹all˺." But how could they ˹possibly˺ attain faith from a place so far-off ˹from the world˺, ⁸⁹⁰

53. while they had already rejected it before, guessing blindly from a place ˹equally˺ far-away ˹from the Hereafter˺?

54. They will be sealed off from whatever they desire, as was done to their counterparts before. Indeed, they were ˹all˺ in alarming doubt.
