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

Repel [evil] with what is best.
[If you do so,] behold, he
between whom and you was enmity,
will be as though he were a sympathetic friend.
35 But none is granted it except those who are patient,
and none is granted it
except the greatly endowed.
36 Should a temptation from Satan disturb you,
seek the protection of Allah.
Indeed He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing.
37 Among His signs are the night and the day,
and the sun and the moon.
Do not prostrate to the sun, nor to the moon,
but prostrate to Allah who created them,
if it is Him that you worship.
38 But if they disdain [the worship of Allah],
those who are near your Lord glorify Him
night and day,
and they are not wearied.
39 Among His signs
is that you see the earth desolate;
but when We send down water upon it,
it stirs and swells.
Indeed He who revives it is the reviver of the dead.
Indeed He has power over all things.
40 Indeed those who commit sacrilege in Our signs
are not hidden from Us.
Is someone who is cast in the Fire better off,
or someone who arrives safely
on the Day of Resurrection?
