Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
from your [mutual] violence.
That is how He completes His blessing upon you
so that you may submit [to Him].
82 But if they turn their backs [on you],
your duty is only to communicate in clear terms.
83 They recognize the blessing of Allah
and then deny it,
and most of them are faithless.
84 The day We shall raise a witness from every nation,
then the faithless will not be permitted [to speak],1
nor will they be asked to propitiate [Allah].
85 And when the wrongdoers sight the punishment,
it shall not be lightened for them,
nor will they be granted any respite.
86 When the polytheists sight their partners,
they will say, ‘Our Lord!
These are our partners whom we used to invoke
besides You.’
But they will retort to them
‘You are indeed liars!’
87 They will submit to Allah on that day,
and what they used to fabricate will forsake them.
88 Those who are faithless
and bar from the way of Allah
— We shall add punishment to their punishment
because of the corruption they used to cause.
89 The day We raise in every nation
a witness against them from among themselves,
We shall bring you as a witness against these.
