Translation of Verse 56-60

56. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "I have been forbidden to worship those you invoke besides Allah." Say, "I will not follow your desires, for I then would certainly be astray and not one of those ˹rightly˺ guided."

57. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Indeed, I stand on a clear proof from my Lord -yet you have denied it. That ˹torment˺ you seek to hasten is not within my power. It is only Allah Who decides ˹its time˺. He declares the truth. And He is the Best of Judges."

58. Say ˹also˺, "If what you seek to hasten were within my power, the matter between us would have already been settled. But Allah knows the wrongdoers best."

59. With Him are the keys of the unseen-no one knows them except Him. ²⁷⁷ And He knows what is in the land and sea. Not even a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything-green or dry-but is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record. ²⁷⁸

60. He is the One Who calls back your souls by night and knows what you do by day, then revives you daily to complete your appointed term. To Him is your ˹ultimate˺ return, then He will inform you of what you used to do.
