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

and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars,
[all of them] disposed by His command.
Look! All creation and command belong to Him.
Blessed is Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
55 Supplicate your Lord, beseechingly and secretly.
Indeed He does not like the transgressors.
56 And do not cause corruption on the earth
after its restoration,
and supplicate Him with fear and hope:
indeed Allah’s mercy
is close to the virtuous.
57 It is He who sends forth the winds
as harbingers of His mercy.
When they bear [rain-]laden clouds,
We drive them toward a dead land
and send down water on it,
and with it We bring forth all kinds of crops.
Thus shall We raise the dead;
maybe you will take admonition.
58 The good land — its vegetation comes out
by the permission of its Lord,
and as for that which is bad,
it does not come out except sparsely.
Thus do We paraphrase the signs variously
for a people who give thanks.

59 Certainly We sent Noah to his people.
He said, ‘O my people, worship Allah!
You have no other god besides Him.
Indeed I fear for you the punishment
