Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
their apostles brought them manifest proofs,
[holy] writs, and illuminating scriptures.
26 Then I seized the faithless.
So how was My rebuttal!
27 Have you not regarded
that Allah sends down water from the sky,
with which We produce fruits of diverse hues;
and in the mountains are stripes
white and red, of diverse hues,
and [others] pitch black?
28 And of humans and beasts and cattle
there are likewise diverse hues.
Only those of Allah’s servants having knowledge fear Him.
Indeed Allah is all-mighty, all-forgiving.
29 Indeed those who recite the Book of Allah
and maintain the prayer,
and spend out of what We have provided them,
secretly and openly, expect a commerce
that will never go bankrupt,
30 so that He may pay them their reward in full
and enhance them out of His grace.
Indeed He is all-forgiving, all-appreciative.
31 That which We have revealed to you of the Book
is the truth,
confirming what was [revealed] before it.
Indeed Allah is all-aware, all-seeing about His servants.
32 Then We made heirs to the Book 1
those whom We chose from Our servants.
1 That is, the Qur’ān.
