Translation of Verse 64-70

64. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Are you urging me to worship ˹anyone˺ other than Allah, O ignorant ones?"

65. It has already been revealed to you-and to those ˹prophets˺ before you-that if you associate others ˹with Allah˺, your deeds will certainly be void and you will truly be one of the losers.

66. Rather, worship Allah ˹alone˺ and be one of the grateful.

67. They have not shown Allah His proper reverence-when on the Day of Judgment the ˹whole˺ earth will be in His Grip, and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified and Exalted is He above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

68. The Trumpet will be blown and all those in the heavens and all those on the earth will fall dead, except those Allah wills ˹to spare˺. Then it will be blown again and they will rise up at once, looking on ˹in anticipation˺.

69. The earth ⁹⁶⁴ will shine with the light of its Lord, the record ˹of deeds˺ will be laid ˹open˺, the prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward-and judgment will be passed on all with fairness. None will be wronged.

70. Every soul will be paid in full for its deeds, for Allah knows best what they have done.

Commentary

964. This refers to the place where the judgment will be held. The Prophet ( ﷺ ) is reported in a ḥadîth collected by Aṭ-Ṭabarâni to have said, "The Judgment will be passed on an earth where neither blood has been shed nor any sin committed."
