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

29 — hell, which they shall enter,
and it is an evil abode!
30 They have setup equals to Allah,
to lead [people] astray from His way.
Say, ‘Enjoy [for a while],
for indeed your destination is hellfire!’

31 Tell My servants who have faith
to maintain the prayer
and to spend
out of what We have provided them with,
secretly and openly,
before there comes a day
on which there will be neither any bargaining
nor friendship.

32 It is Allah who created the heavens
and the earth,
and He sends down water from the sky
and with it He brings forth crops
for your sustenance.
And He disposed the ships for you[r benefit]
so that they may sail at sea by His command,
and He disposed the rivers for you.
33 He disposed the sun and the moon for you,
constant [in their courses],
and He disposed the night and the day,
34 and He gave you all that you had asked Him.1

1 That is, He provided you with everything demanded by your nature and your original capacities.
