M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

hearts become pliant to the remembrance of Allah; this is Allah’s guidance, He guides with it whom He pleases; and (as for) him whom Allah makes err, there is no guide for him.

24. Is he then who has to guard himself with his own person against the evil chastisement on the resurrection day? And it will be said to the unjust: Taste what you earned.

25. Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore there came to them the chastisement from whence they perceived not.

26. So Allah made them taste the disgrace in this world’s life, and certainly the punishment of the hereafter is greater; did they but know!

27. And certainly We have set forth to men in this Quran similitudes of every sort that they may mind.

28. An Arabic Quran without any crookedness, that they may guard (against evil).

29. Allah sets forth an example: There is a slave in whom are (several) partners differing with one another, and there is another slave wholly owned by one man. Are the two alike in condition? (All) praise is due to Allah. Nay! most of them do not know.

30. Surely you shall die and they (too) shall surely die.

31. Then surely on the day of resurrection you will contend one with another before your Lord.
