Translation of Verse 26-35

26. ˹Remember, O Prophet˺ when Abraham declared to his father and his people, "I am totally free of whatever ˹gods˺ you worship,

27. except the One Who originated me, and He will surely guide me."

28. And he left this enduring declaration among his descendants, so they may ˹always˺ turn back ˹to Allah˺. 1006

29. In fact, I had allowed enjoyment for these ˹Meccans˺ and their forefathers, until the truth came to them along with a messenger making things clear.

30. ˹But˺ when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and we totally reject it."

31. And they exclaimed, "If only this Quran was revealed to a great man from ˹one of˺ the two cities!" 1007

32. Is it they who distribute your Lord's mercy? We ˹alone˺ have distributed their ˹very˺ livelihood among them in this worldly life and raised some of them in rank above others so that some may employ others in service. ˹But˺ your Lord's mercy is far better than whatever ˹wealth˺ they amass.

33. Were it not that people might ˹be tempted to˺ become one community ˹of disbelievers˺, We would have supplied the homes of ˹only˺ those who disbelieve in the Most Compassionate with silver roofs and ˹silver˺ stairways to ascend,

34. as well as ˹silver˺ gates and thrones to recline on,

35. and ornaments ˹of gold˺. Yet all this is no more than a ˹fleeting˺ enjoyment in this worldly life. ˹But˺ the Hereafter with your Lord is ˹only˺ for those mindful ˹of Him˺.


Commentary
