Verily, Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they used to differ. Yusuf Ali And We granted them Clear Signs in affairs (of Religion): it was only after knowledge had been granted to them that they fell into schisms, through insolent envy among themselves. Verily thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment as to those matters in which they set up differences. Dr. Ghali And We brought them supreme evidence (s) of the Command; so in no way did they differ among themselves except even after the knowledge had come to them, (they) being inequitable among themselves.

Yusuf Ali These are clear evidences to men and a Guidance and Mercy to those of assured Faith. Dr. Ghali This (presents) demonstrations for mankind, and a guidance, and a mercy for a people who have certitude. Tafsir al-Jalalayn This, Qur’?n, is [a set of] insights for mankind, guideposts with which they can discern [God’s] rulings and legal proscriptions, and guidance and mercy for a people who have certainty, with regard to the [truth of the] Resurrection. | | 45:21 | Transliteration Am hasiba allatheena ijtarahooassayyi-ati an najAAalahum kallatheenaamanoo waAAamiloo assalihati sawaanmahyahum wamamatuhum saa ma yahkumoon Sahih International Or do those who commit evils think We will make them like those who have believed and done righteous deeds - [make them] equal in their life and their death?

Worst is the judgement that they make. Yusuf Ali What! Do those who seek after evil ways think that We shall hold them equal with those who believe and do righteous deeds,- that equal will be their life and their death? Ill is the judgment that they make. Dr. Ghali Or even do the ones who keep indulging in odious deeds reckon that We will make them as the ones who have believed and done deeds of righteousness, (and) equal (will be) their living and their dying? How odious is (the way) they judge!

The meaning is: do they suppose that in the Hereafter We will assign them [a] good [fate] like believers, [that they will enjoy] a life of plenty, one equal to their life in this world, as when they said to the believers: ‘Surely if we were to be resurrected, we will be given the same good things that you will be given!’ God, exalted be He, says, in accordance with His denial [implicit] in the [rhetorical interrogative] hamza: How evil is that judgement which they make! In other words, it will not be so, for in the Hereafter they will be [suffering] in the chastisement, in contrast to their lives in this world; the believers, on the other hand, will be [delighting] in the Reward in the Hereafter because of their righteous deeds in this world, such as [their observance of] prayers, [their] alms-giving, fasting and otherwise (the m?, ‘that … which’, relates to the verbal action, that is to say, ba’isa hukman hukmuhum h?dh?, ‘awful as a judgement is this judgement of theirs’). | | 45:22 | Transliteration Wakhalaqa Allahu assamawatiwal-arda bilhaqqi walitujzakullu nafsin bima kasabat wahum la yuthlamoon Sahih International And Allah created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged.

" Tafsir al-Jalalayn And when it was said, to you, O disbelievers: “God’s promise, of resurrection, is indeed true, and there is no doubt about the Hour”, (read al-s?‘atu or al-s?‘ata) you said, “We do not know what the Hour is.

So that Day they will not be removed from it, nor will they be asked to appease [ Allah ]. Muhsin Khan This, because you took the revelations of Allah (this Quran) in mockery, and the life of the world deceived you. So this Day, they shall not be taken out from there (Hell), nor shall they be Yusta'tabun (i.e. they shall not return to the worldly life, so that they repent to Allah, and beg His Pardon for their sins). Yusuf Ali "This, because ye used to take the Signs of Allah in jest, and the life of the world deceived you:" (From) that Day, therefore, they shall not be taken out thence, nor shall they be received into Grace. Dr. Ghali That (Literally: Those (conseguences) is for that you took to yourselves the signs of Allah in mockery, and the present life (Literally: the lowly life, i.e., the life of this world) deluded you." So today they will not be brought out of it, nor will they be allowed to make amends. Tafsir al-Jalalayn That is because you took God’s signs, the Qur’?n, in mockery, and the life of this world deceived you’, to the extent that you said, ‘There is neither Resurrection nor Reckoning’. So today they will not be brought out (read either active yakhruj?na, ‘they will [not] come out’, or passive yukhraj?na, ‘they will [not] be brought out’) of it, of the Fire, nor will they asked to make amends: they will not be asked to [try to] attain the pleasure of their Lord by repenting or being obedient, for such [action] will be of no use then. | | 45:36 | Transliteration Falillahi alhamdu rabbi assamawatiwarabbi al-ardi rabbi alAAalameen Sahih International Then, to Allah belongs [all] praise - Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the worlds.
