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

29 Allah suffices as a witness between you and us.
We were indeed unaware of your worship.’
30 There
every soul will examine what it has sent in advance,
and they will be returned to Allah,
their real master,
and what they used to fabricate will forsake them.
31 Say, ‘Who provides for you out of the sky
and the earth?
Who controls [your] hearing and sight,
and who brings forth the living from the dead
and brings forth the dead from the living,
and who directs the command?’
They will say, ‘Allah.’
Say, ‘Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’
32 That, then, is Allah, your true Lord.
So what is there after the truth except error?
Then where are you being led away?
33 Thus the word of your Lord became due
against those who transgress
that they shall not have faith.
34 Say, ‘Is there anyone among your partners
who originates the creation and then brings it back?’
Say, ‘Allah originates the creation,
then He will bring it back.’
Then where do you stray?
35 Say, ‘Is there anyone among your partners
who may guide to the truth?’
Say, ‘Allah guides to the truth.
Is He who guides to the truth
