Translation of Verse 27-35

27. We certainly destroyed the societies around you after having varied the signs so perhaps they would return ˹to the Right Path˺.

28. Why then did those ˹idols˺ they took as gods-hoping to get closer ˹to Him˺-not come to their aid? Instead, they failed them. That is ˹the result of˺ their lies and their fabrications.

29. ˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when We sent a group of jinn your way to listen to the Quran. Then, upon hearing it, they said ˹to one another˺, "Listen quietly!" Then when it was over, they returned to their fellow jinn as warners.

30. They declared, "O our fellow jinn! We have truly heard a scripture revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it. It guides to the truth and the Straight Way.

31. O our fellow jinn! Respond to the caller of Allah and believe in him, He will forgive your sins and protect you from a painful punishment.

32. And whoever does not respond to the caller of Allah will have no escape on earth, nor will they have any protectors against Him. It is they who are clearly astray."

33. Do they not realize that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and did not tire in creating them, 1035 is able to give life to the dead? Yes ˹indeed˺! He is certainly Most Capable of everything.

34. And on the Day the disbelievers will be exposed to the Fire, ˹they will be asked,˺ "Is this ˹Hereafter˺ not the truth?" They will cry, "Absolutely, by our Lord!" It will be said, "Then taste the punishment for your disbelief."

35. So endure patiently, as did the Messengers of Firm Resolve. 1036 And do not ˹seek to˺ hasten ˹the torment˺ for the deniers. On the Day they see what they have been threatened with, it will be as if they had only stayed ˹in this world˺ for an hour of a day. 1037 ˹This is˺ a ˹sufficient˺ warning! Then, will anyone be destroyed except the rebellious people?


Commentary

1035. Or never failed in creating them.

1036. Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muḥammad are called the Messengers of Firm Resolve.

1037. i.e., only for a very short period of time.
