Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
with your voice;1
and rally against them your cavalry
and your infantry,
and share with them in wealth and children,
and make promises to them!’
But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.
65 ‘As for My servants,
you shall have no authority over them.’
And your Lord suffices as trustee.
66 Your Lord is He who drives for you the ships
in the sea,
that you may seek His grace.
Indeed He is most merciful to you.
67 And when distress befalls you at sea,
those whom you invoke besides Him are forsaken.
But when He delivers you to land,
you are disregardful [of Him].
And man is very ungrateful.
68 Do you feel secure
that He will not make the coastland swallow you,
or He will not unleash upon you a rain of stones?
Then you will not find any defender for yourselves.
69 Do you feel secure
that He will not send you back into it another time
and unleash against you a shattering gale
and drown you because of your unfaith?
Then you will not find for yourselves
any redresser against Us.
1 Or ‘Tempt whomever ....’
