Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
104 We know best what they will say,
when the best of them in conduct will say,
‘You stayed only a day!’
105They question you concerning the mountains.
Say, ‘My Lord will scatter them [like dust].’
106 Then He will leave it 1 a level plain.
107 You will not see any crookedness or unevenness in it.
108 On that day they will follow a summoner
in whom there will be no deviousness.
The voices will be muted before the All-beneficent,
and you will hear nothing but a murmur.
109 Intercession will not avail that day
except from him whom the All-beneficent allows
and approves of his word.
110 He knows that which is before them
and that which is behind them,
but they cannot comprehend Him in their knowledge.
111 All faces shall be humbled
before the Living One, the All-sustainer,
and he will fail
who bears [the onus of] wrongdoing.
112 But whoever does righteous deeds,
should he be faithful,
shall neither fear any wrong nor detraction.
113 Thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ān
and We have paraphrased the threats in it
so that they may be Godwary
1 That is, the earth.
