Translation of Verse 22-26

22. For Allah created the heavens and the earth for a purpose, so that every soul may be paid back for what it has committed. And none will be wronged.

23. Have you seen ˹O Prophet˺ those who have taken their own desires as their god? ˹And so˺ Allah left them to stray knowingly, sealed their hearing and hearts, and placed a cover on their sight. Who then can guide them after Allah? Will you ˹all˺ not then be mindful?

24. And they argue, "There is nothing beyond our worldly life. We die; others are born. And nothing destroys us but ˹the passage of˺ time." Yet they have no knowledge ˹in support˺ of this ˹claim˺. They only speculate.

25. And whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, their only argument is to say: "Bring our forefathers back, if what you say is true!"

26. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "˹It is˺ Allah ˹Who˺ gives you life, then causes you to die, then will gather you ˹all˺ on the Day of Judgment, about which there is no doubt. But most people do not know."
