Ayah: 43

وَمِنۡهُم مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيۡكَۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهۡدِي ٱلۡعُمۡيَ وَلَوۡ كَانُواْ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ

43. And among them are those who (pretend to) look at you, but can you guide the blind, even though they do not see?

Ayah: 44

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظۡلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ

44. Indeed, Allah does not do injustice to mankind in anything10, but mankind do injustice to themselves.

10. As He has already sent this Qur’an as a sign of His justice and mercy.

Ayah: 45

وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ كَأَن لَّمۡ يَلۡبَثُوٓاْ إِلَّا سَاعَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهۡتَدِينَ

45. And the Day when He will gather them (after Resurrection) it will seem to them as though they had not stayed (in this world) but an hour of the day, getting 'mutually' acquainted between them. Lost indeed will be those who denied the Meeting with Allāh, for they were not 'rightly' guided.

Ayah: 46

وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعۡضَ ٱلَّذِي نَعِدُهُمۡ أَوۡ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُهُمۡ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفۡعَلُونَ

46.And whether We show you 'Muhammad' some of what We threaten them with, or cause you to die11 (before that), to Us is their return. Then Allāh is a Witness to 'all' that they do.

11. They will not be able to escape Our Punishment.

Ayah: 47

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٖ رَّسُولٞۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ رَسُولُهُمۡ قُضِيَ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ

47. For every nation there is a Messenger. When their Messenger comes, the matter will be judged between them fairly, and they will not be dealt with unjustly.12

12. By sending the Prophet Muhammad, Truth stands out clear from error: Those who believe him are saved but those who deny him are doomed.

Ayah: 48

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

48. They say: "When will this promise13 be fulfilled, if you speak the truth?"

13. I.e., their due punishment in this life or the coming of the Hour of Doom.

Ayah: 49

قُل لَّآ أَمۡلِكُ لِنَفۡسِي ضَرّٗا وَلَا نَفۡعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ سَاعَةٗ وَلَا يَسۡتَقۡدِمُونَ

49. Say (O Muhammad): "I do not possess for myself any harm or any benefit, except what Allāh wills." Every nation has a term. When their term comes, they cannot delay it for a moment, nor can they advance it.

Ayah: 50

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُهُۥ بَيَٰتًا أَوۡ نَهَارٗا مَّاذَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

50. Say: "Tell me if His torment comes up to you at night or day-time. What part of it would the guilty wish to hasten?"

Ayah: 51

أَثُمَّ إِذَا مَا وَقَعَ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦٓۚ ءَآلۡـَٰٔنَ وَقَدۡ كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

51. Will you then, when it befalls, believe in it? Now? And already you were thereby seeking to hasten on!"

Ayah: 52

ثُمَّ قِيلَ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذُوقُواْ عَذَابَ ٱلۡخُلۡدِ هَلۡ تُجۡزَوۡنَ إِلَّا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡسِبُونَ

52. Then it will be said to those who did iniquity: "Taste the abiding torment; are you being recompensed except for what you used to earn (of sins)?"

Ayah: 53

۞ وَيَسۡتَنۢبِـُٔونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَۖ قُلۡ إِي وَرَبِّيٓ إِنَّهُۥ لَحَقّٞۖ وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ

53. They ask you: "Is it really true14?" Say: "Yes, By my Lord (Allāh). It is definitely true, and you cannot escape."

14 I.e., the Day of Resurrection and Judgement and reward therein.
