Translation of Verse 15-30

15. He is the One Who smoothed out the earth for you, so move about in its regions and eat from His provisions. And to Him is the resurrection ˹of all˺.

16. Do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not cause the earth to swallow you up as it quakes violently?

17. Or do you feel secure that the One Who is in heaven will not unleash upon you a storm of stones. Only then would you know how ˹serious˺ My warning was!

18. And certainly those before them denied ˹as well˺, then how severe was My response!

19. Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading and folding their wings? None holds them up except the Most Compassionate. Indeed, He is All-Seeing of everything.

20. Also, which ˹powerless˺ force will come to your help instead of the Most Compassionate? Indeed, the disbelievers are only ˹lost˺ in delusion.

21. Or who is it that will provide for you if He withholds His provision? In fact, they persist in arrogance and aversion ˹to the truth˺.

22. Who is ˹rightly˺ guided: the one who crawls facedown or the one who walks upright on the Straight Path?

23. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "He is the One Who brought you into being and gave you hearing, sight, and intellect. ˹Yet˺ you hardly give any thanks."

24. ˹Also˺ say, "He is the One Who has dispersed you ˹all˺ over the earth, and to Him you will ˹all˺ be gathered."

25. ˹Still˺ they ask ˹the believers˺, "When will this threat come to pass, if what you say is true?"

26. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "That knowledge is with Allah alone, and I am only sent with a clear warning."

27. Then when they see the torment drawing near, the faces of the disbelievers will become gloomy, and it will be said ˹to them˺, "This is what you claimed would never come." ¹²¹⁷

28. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Consider this: whether Allah causes me and those with me to die or shows us mercy, who will save the disbelievers from a painful punishment?" ¹²¹⁸

29. Say, "He is the Most Compassionate-in Him ˹alone˺ we believe, and in Him ˹alone˺ we trust. You will soon know who is clearly astray."

30. Say, "Consider this: if your water were to sink ˹into the earth˺, then who ˹else˺ could bring you flowing water?"

Commentary

1217. Another possible translation: "This is what you were calling for."

1218. Meaning, whether Allah takes our lives (as you wish) or grants us a long life, it is all good for us. But who will protect you from Allah if you disbelieve in Him.
