Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
63 And if you ask them,
‘Who sends down water from the sky,
with which He revives the earth after its death?’
They will surely say, ‘Allah.’
Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah!’
But most of them do not apply reason.
64 The life of this world is nothing
but diversion and play,
but the abode of the Hereafter is indeed Life,
had they known!
65 When they board the ship, they invoke Allah
putting exclusive faith in Him,
but when He delivers them to land,
behold, they ascribe partners [to Him],
66 being ungrateful for what We have given them!
So let them enjoy. Soon they will know!
67 Have they not seen that We have appointed
a safe sanctuary,1
while the people are despoiled all around them?
Would they then believe in falsehood
and be ungrateful toward the blessing of Allah?
68 Who is a greater wrongdoer than him
who fabricates a lie against Allah,
or denies the truth when it comes to him?
Is not the [final] abode of the faithless in hell?
69 As for those who strive in Us,
We shall surely guide them in Our ways,
and Allah is indeed with the virtuous.
1 That is, the city of Makkah.
