Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

You give sovereignty to whomever You wish,
and strip of sovereignty whomever You wish;
You make mighty whomever You wish,
and You abase whomever You wish;
all good is in Your hand.
Indeed You have power over all things.
27 You make the night pass into the day
and You make the day pass into the night.
You bring forth the living from the dead
and You bring forth the dead from the living,
and You provide for whomever You wish
without any reckoning.’

28 The faithful should not take the faithless for allies
instead of the faithful,
and whoever does that
Allah will have nothing to do with him,
except when you are wary of them out of caution.
Allah warns you to beware of [disobeying] Him,
and toward Allah is the return.
29 Say, ‘Whether you hide what is in your hearts,
or disclose it,
Allah knows it,
and He knows whatever there is in the heavens
and whatever there is in the earth;
and Allah has power over all things.’
30 The day when every soul will find
present whatever good it has done;
and as to whatever evil it has done
it will wish
