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

101 When We change a sign with another in its place

102 Say, the Holy Spirit has brought it down
duly from your Lord
to fortify those who have faith
and as a guidance and good news for the muslims.
103 We certainly know that they say,
‘It is only a human that instructs him.’
The language of him to whom they refer
is non-Arabic,
while this is a clear Arabic language.
104 Indeed those who do not believe in the signs of Allah
— Allah shall not guide them
and there is a painful punishment for them.
105 Only those fabricate lies
who do not believe in the signs of Allah,
and it is they who are the liars.
106 Whoever renounces faith in Allah
after [affirming] his faith
— barring someone who is compelled
while his heart is at rest in faith —
but those who open up their breasts to unfaith,
upon such shall be Allah’s wrath,
and there is a great punishment for them.
107 That, because they preferred the life of the world
to the Hereafter
and that Allah does not guide the faithless lot.
108 They are the ones on whose hearts Allah has set a seal,
