Translation of Verse 18-24

18. O believers! Be mindful of Allah and let every soul look to what ˹deeds˺ it has sent forth for tomorrow. ¹¹⁸⁸ And fear Allah, ˹for˺ certainly Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

19. And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. It is they who are ˹truly˺ rebellious.

20. The residents of the Fire cannot be equal to the residents of Paradise. ˹Only˺ the residents of Paradise will be successful.

21. Had We sent down this Quran upon a mountain, you would have certainly seen it humbled and torn apart in awe of Allah. We set forth such comparisons for people, ˹so˺ perhaps they may reflect. ¹¹⁸⁹

22. He is Allah-there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him: Knower of the seen and unseen. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

23. He is Allah-there is no god except Him: the King, the Most Holy, the All-Perfect, the Source of Serenity, the Watcher ˹of all˺, the Almighty, the Supreme in Might, ¹¹⁹⁰ the Majestic. Glorified is Allah far above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺!

24. He is Allah: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He ˹alone˺ has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All- Wise.

Commentary

1188. i.e., the Hereafter.

1189. Meaning, that the hearts of the disbelievers are harder than the mountains concerning the Quran.

1190. Jabbâr comes from the root word ja-ba-ra which means to impose, support, or console. For example, Jabîrah means the cast that supports a broken bone. Hence, Allah is the One Whose Will cannot be resisted, and Who comforts those who are broken or oppressed.
