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

87 They will say, ‘[They belong] to Allah.’
Say, ‘Will you not then be wary [of Him]?’
88 Say, ‘In whose hand is the dominion of all things,
and who shelters
and no shelter can be provided from Him,
if you know?’
89 They will say, ‘[They all belong] to Allah.’
Say, ‘Then how are you being deluded?’1

90 Rather We have brought them the truth,
and they are indeed liars.
91 Allah has not taken any offspring,
neither is there any god besides Him,
for then each god would take away what he created,
and some of them would surely rise up against others.
Clear is Allah of what they allege!
92 The Knower of the sensible and the Unseen,
He is above
having any partners that they ascribe [to Him].
93 Say, ‘My Lord!
If You should show me what they are promised,
94 then do not put me, my Lord,
among the wrongdoing lot.’
95 We are indeed able to show you what We promise them.

96 Repel ill [conduct] with that which is the best.
We know best whatever they allege.
97 And say, ‘My Lord!
I seek Your protection

1 Or ‘How are you being misled,’ or ‘How are you being rendered blind.’
