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

and are certain of the Hereafter.
5 Those follow their Lord’s guidance,
and it is they who are the felicitous.
6 Among the people is he
who buys diversionary talk
that he may lead [people] astray from Allah’s way
without any knowledge,
and he takes it in derision.
For such there is a humiliating punishment.
7 And when Our signs are recited to him
he turns away disdainfully
as if he had not heard them [at all],
as if there were a deafness in his ears.
So inform him of a painful punishment.
8 As for those who have faith
and do righteous deeds,
for them will be gardens of bliss,
9 to remain in them [forever]
— a true promise of Allah,
and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise.
10 He created the heavens
without any pillars that you may see,
and cast firm mountains in the earth
lest it should shake with you,
and He has scattered in it every kind of animal.
And We sent down water from the sky
and caused every splendid kind [of plant] to grow in it.
11 This is the creation of Allah.
Now show Me what others besides Him have created.
Rather the wrongdoers are in manifest error!
