Translation of Verse 155-165

155. This is a blessed Book We have revealed. So follow it and be mindful ˹of Allah˺, so you may be shown mercy.

156. You ˹pagans˺ can no longer say, "Scriptures were only revealed to two groups before us and we were unaware of their teachings."

157. Nor can you say, "If only the Scriptures had been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they." Now there has come to you from your Lord a clear proof ³⁰⁴ -a guide and mercy. Who then does more wrong than those who deny Allah's revelations and turn away from them? We will reward those who turn away from Our revelations with a dreadful punishment for turning away.

158. Are they awaiting the coming of the angels, or your Lord ˹Himself˺, or some of your Lord's ˹major˺ signs? On the Day your Lord's signs arrive, belief will not benefit those who did not believe earlier or those who did no good through their faith. ³⁰⁵ Say, "Keep waiting! We too are waiting."

159. Indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not responsible whatsoever for those who have divided their faith and split into sects. Their judgment rests only with Allah. And He will inform them of what they used to do.

160. Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded tenfold. But whoever comes with a bad deed will be punished for only one. None will be wronged.

161. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Surely my Lord has guided me to the Straight Path, a perfect way, the faith of Abraham, the upright, who was not one of the polytheists."

162. Say, "Surely my prayer, my worship, my life, and my death are all for Allah-Lord of all worlds.

163. He has no partner. So I am commanded, and so I am the first to submit."

164. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Should I seek a lord other than Allah while He is the Lord of everything?" No one will reap except what they sow. No soul burdened with sin will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you of your differences.

165. He is the One Who has placed you as successors on earth and elevated some of you in rank over others, so He may test you with what He has given you. Surely your Lord is swift in punishment, but He is certainly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Commentary

304. i.e., the Quran.

305. This refers to disobedient believers who neither did any good nor repented before the time of their death or the arrival of the Day of Judgment. This is supported by authentic narrations from the Prophet ( ﷺ ) .
