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

until a specified time.
There are indeed signs in that
for a people who reflect.

43 Have they taken intercessors besides Allah?
Say,
‘What! Even though they have no control over
anything
and cannot apply reason?!’
44 Say, ‘All intercession rests with Allah.
To Him belongs the kingdom of the heavens
and the earth;
then you will be brought back to Him.’
45 When Allah is mentioned alone,
[thereat] shrink away the hearts of those
who do not believe in the Hereafter,
but when others are mentioned besides Him,
behold, they rejoice!
46 Say, ‘O Allah!
Originator of the heavens and the earth,
Knower of the sensible and the Unseen,
You will judge between Your servants
concerning that about which they used to differ.’
47 Even if the wrongdoers possessed
all that is on the earth,
and as much of it besides,
they would surely offer it to redeem themselves with it
from a terrible punishment
on the Day of Resurrection,
and there will appear to them from Allah
