Translation of Verse 21-30

21. Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah or deny His signs? Indeed, the wrongdoers will never succeed.

22. ˹Consider˺ the Day We will gather them all together then ask those who associated others ˹with Allah in worship˺, "Where are those gods you used to claim?"

23. Their only argument will be: "By Allah, our Lord! We were never polytheists."

24. See how they will lie about themselves and how those ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them!

25. There are some of them who ˹pretend to˺ listen to your recitation ˹of the Quran˺, but We have cast veils over their hearts-leaving them unable to comprehend it-and deafness in their ears. Even if they were to see every sign, they still would not believe in them. The disbelievers would ˹even˺ come to argue with you, saying, "This ˹Quran˺ is nothing but ancient fables!"

26. They turn others away from the Prophet and distance themselves as well. They ruin none but themselves, yet they fail to perceive it.

27. If only you could see when they will be detained before the Fire! They will cry, "Oh! If only we could be sent back, we would never deny the signs of our Lord and we would ˹surely˺ be of the believers."

28. But no! ˹They only say this˺ because the truth they used to hide will become all too clear to them. Even if they were to be sent back, they would certainly revert to what they were forbidden. Indeed they are liars!

29. They insisted, "There is nothing beyond this worldly life and we will never be resurrected."

30. But if only you could see when they will be detained before their Lord! He will ask ˹them˺, "Is this ˹Hereafter˺ not the truth?" They will cry, "Absolutely, by our Lord!" He will say, "Then taste the punishment for your disbelief."
