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

along with whoever is righteous among their forebears,
their spouses and their descendants.1
Indeed You are the All-mighty, the All-wise.
9 Save them from the ills;
and whomever You save from the ills that day,2
You will have had mercy upon him,
and that is the great success.’
10 Indeed it will be proclaimed to the faithless:
‘Surely Allah’s outrage [towards you] is greater
than your outrage towards yourselves,
as you were invited to faith,
but you disbelieved.’
11 They will say, ‘Our Lord!
Twice did You make us die,
and twice did You give us life.
We admit our sins.
Is there any way out [from this plight]?’
12 This [plight of yours] is because,
when Allah was invoked alone,
you would disbelieve,
but if partners were ascribed to Him
you would believe.
So the judgment belongs to Allah,
the All-exalted, the All-great.’
13 It is He who shows you His signs
and sends down for you provision from the sky.
Yet no one takes admonition
except him who returns penitently [to Allah].

1 Cf. 13:23.

2 That is, the day of judgement.
