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

20 These are eye-openers for mankind,
and guidance and mercy
for a people who have certainty.
21 Do those who have perpetrated misdeeds suppose
that We shall treat them as those who have faith
and do righteous deeds,
their life and death being equal?
Evil is the judgement that they make!
22 Allah created the heavens and the earth
with reason,
so that every soul may be requited
for what it has earned,
and they will not be wronged.
23 Have you seen him who has taken
his desire to be his god
and whom Allah has led astray knowingly,
and set a seal upon his hearing and his heart,
and put a blindfold on his sight?
So who will guide him after Allah?
Will you not then take admonition?
24 They say,
‘There is nothing but the life of this world:
we live and we die,
and nothing but time destroys us.’
But they do not have any knowledge of that,
and they only make conjectures.
25 And when Our manifest signs are recited to them,
their only argument is to say,
‘Bring our fathers back [to life],
should you be truthful.’
