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

157 It is they who receive the blessings of their Lord
and [His] mercy,
and it is they who are the [rightly] guided.
158 Indeed Safa and Marwah
are among Allah’s sacraments.
So whoever makes hajj to the House,
or performs the ‘umrah,
there is no sin upon him to circuit between them.
Should anyone do good of his own accord,
then Allah is indeed appreciative, all-knowing.
159 Indeed those who conceal what We have sent down
of manifest proofs and guidance,
after We have clarified it in the Book for mankind,
— they shall be cursed by Allah
and cursed by the cursers,
160 except such as repent,
make amends, and clarify,
— those I shall pardon,
and I am the All-clement, the All-merciful.
161 Indeed those who turn faithless
and die while they are faithless,
— it is they on whom shall be the curse of Allah,
the angels and all mankind.
162 They will remain in it [forever],
and their punishment shall not be lightened,
nor will they be granted any respite.

163 Your god is the One God,
there is no god except Him,
