اَللہُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ ضُؔعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ضُؔعْفٍ قُوَّۃً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ قُوَّۃٍ ضُؔعْفًا وَّشَيْبَۃً۝۰ۭ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۚ وَہُوَالْعَلِيْمُ الْقَدِيْرُ۝۵۴
Allahu allathee khalaqakum min daAAfin thumma jaAAala min baAAdi daAAfin quwwatan thumma jaAAala min baAAdi quwwatin daAAfan washaybatan yakhluqu ma yashao wahuwa alAAaleemu alqadeeru

English

Ahmed Ali

It is God who created you of weakness, then after weakness gave you strength, then after strength will give you weakness and grey hair. Surely He makes whatever He wills. He is all-knowing and all-powerful.

54

وَيَوْمَ تَــقُوْمُ السَّاعَۃُ يُـقْسِمُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ۝۰ۥۙ مَا لَبِثُوْا غَيْرَ سَاعَۃٍ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ كَانُوْا يُؤْفَكُوْنَ۝۵۵
Wayawma taqoomu alssaAAatu yuqsimu almujrimoona ma labithoo ghayra saAAatin kathalika kanoo yufakoona

English

Ahmed Ali

The day Resurrection is set the sinners will swear: "We did not tarry more than an hour (and cannot be guilty)." That is how they have always been deceived.

55

وَقَالَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَ الْاِيْمَانَ لَقَدْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِيْ كِتٰبِ اللہِ اِلٰى يَوْمِ الْبَعْثِ۝۰ۡفَھٰذَا يَوْمُ الْبَعْثِ وَلٰكِنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۵۶
Waqala allatheena ootoo alAAilma waaleemana laqad labithtum fee kitabi Allahi ila yawmi albaAAthi fahatha yawmu albaAAthi walakinnakum kuntum la taAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

But those who were given the knowledge and belief will say: "You have tarried, according to the Book of God, as long as the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection, but 'you do not know."

56

فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّا يَنْفَعُ الَّذِيْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مَعْذِرَتُہُمْ وَلَا ہُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُوْنَ۝۵۷
Fayawmaithin la yanfaAAu allatheena thalamoo maAAthiratuhum wala hum yustaAAtaboona

English

Ahmed Ali

Their excuses will be of no avail to the sinners on that day, and they will not be allowed to beg for favour.

57

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِيْ ھٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَثَلٍ۝۰ۭ وَلَىِٕنْ جِئْتَہُمْ بِاٰيَۃٍ لَّيَقُوْلَنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْۗا اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلَّا مُبْطِلُوْنَ۝۵۸
Walaqad darabna lilnnasi fee hatha alqurani min kulli mathalin walain jitahum biayatin layaqoolanna allatheena kafaroo in antum illa mubtiloona

English

Ahmed Ali

We have offered every kind of example here in this Qur'an to men. Even then if you bring a verse to them, those who disbelieve say: "You are nothing but a liar."

58

كَذٰلِكَ يَطْبَعُ اللہُ عَلٰي قُلُوْبِ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۵۹
Kathalika yatbaAAu Allahu AAala quloobi allatheena la yaAAlamoona

English

Ahmed Ali

That is how God seals the hearts of those who do not know.

59

فَاصْبِرْ اِنَّ وَعْدَ اللہِ حَقٌّ وَّلَا يَسْتَخِفَّنَّكَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُوْقِنُوْنَ۝۶۰ۧ
Faisbir inna waAAda Allahi haqqun wala yastakhiffannaka allatheena la yooqinoona

English

Ahmed Ali

So have patience. The promise of God is surely true; and let not those who do not believe make you relax (your endeavours).
