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

Rather, we did not invoke anything before.’
That is how Allah leads astray the faithless.
75 ‘That is because you used to exult
unduly on the earth
and because you used to walk exultantly.’
76 Enter the gates of hell,
to remain in it [forever].’
Evil is the [final] abode of the arrogant.
77 So be patient!
Allah’s promise is indeed true.
Whether We show you
a part of what We promise them,
or take you away [before that],
[in any case] they will be brought back to Us.
78 Certainly We have sent apostles before you.
Of them are those We have recounted to you,
and of them are those
We have not recounted to you.
An apostle may not bring any sign
except by Allah’s permission.
Hence when Allah’s edict comes,
judgment is made with justice,
and it is thence that the falsifiers become losers.
79 It is Allah who created the cattle for you
that you may ride some of them,
and some of them you eat;
80 and there are [numerous] uses in them for you,
and that over them 1 you may satisfy any need
that is in your breasts,

1 That is, by riding them or by using them as beasts of burden.
