Marmaduke Pickthall, The Meaning of The Glorious Koran. An Explanatory Translation (1930)

21. And they will say: If only a portent were sent down upon Him from his Lord! Then say, (O Muhammad): The Unseen belongeth to Allah. So wait! Lo, I am waiting with you.

22. And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy after some adversity which had afflicted them, behold! they have some plot against Our revelations. Say: Allah is more swift in plotting. Lo! Our messengers write down that which ye plot.

23. He it is who maketh you to go on the land and the sea till, when ye are in the ships and they sail with them with a fair breeze and they are glad therein, a storm-wind reacheth them and the wave cometh unto them from every side and they deem that they are overwhelmed therein; (then) they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only: If Thou deliver us from this, we truly will be of the thankful.

24. Yet when He hath delivered them, behold! they rebel in the earth wrongfully. O mankind! Your rebellion is only against yourselves. (Ye have) enjoyment of the life of the world; then unto Us is your return and We shall proclaim unto you what ye used to do.

25. The similitude of the life of the world is only as water which We send down from the sky, then the earth’s growth of that which men and cattle eat mingleth with it till, when the earth hath taken on her ornaments and is embellished, and her people deem that they are masters of her, Our commandment cometh by night or by day and we make it as reaped corn as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We expound the revelations for people who reflect.

26. And Allah summoneth to the abode of peace, and leadeth whom He will to a straight path.

27. For those who do good is the best (reward) and more (thereto). Neither dust nor ignominy cometh near their faces.
