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

except in fear.
There is disgrace for them in this world,
and there is for them
a great punishment in the Hereafter.

115 To Allah belong the east and the west:
so whichever way you turn,
there is the face of Allah!
Allah is indeed all-bounteous, all-knowing.
116 And they say, ‘Allah has taken a son.’
Immaculate is He!
Rather to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens
and the earth.
All are obedient to Him,
117 the Originator of the heavens and the earth;
and when He decides on a matter,
He just says to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.
118 Those who have no knowledge say,
‘Why does not Allah speak to us,
or come to us a sign?’
So said those who were before them,
[words] similar to what they say.
Alike are their hearts.
We have certainly made the signs clear
for a people who have certainty.

119 Indeed We have sent you with the truth,
as a bearer of good news and as a warner,
and you will not be questioned
concerning the inmates of hell.
