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

22 Whoever surrenders his heart to Allah
and is virtuous,
has certainly held fast to the firmest handle,
and with Allah lies the outcome of all matters.
23 As for those who are faithless,
let their faithlessness not grieve you.
To Us will be their return,
and We will inform them
about what they have done.
Indeed Allah knows best what is in the breasts.
24 We will provide for them for a short time,
then We will shove them
toward a harsh punishment.
25 If you ask them,
‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’
they will surely say, ‘Allah.’
Say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah!’
Yet most of them do not know.
26 To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens
and the earth.
Indeed Allah is the All-sufficient, the All-laudable.
27 If all the trees on the earth were pens,
and the sea replenished with seven more seas [were ink],
the words of Allah would not be spent.
Indeed Allah is all-mighty, all-wise.
28 Your creation and your resurrection are not
but as of a single soul.
Indeed Allah is all-hearing, all-seeing.
29 Have you not regarded
that Allah makes the night pass into the day
