in brief
It continues with the theme of resurrection and divine judgment, portraying unbelievers’ doubts, God’s knowledge of hearts, the Qur’an as guidance and mercy, and the call to trust and warn.

S: And most surely it is a guidance and a mercy for the believers.

027.078 Y: Verily thy Lord will decide between them by His Decree: and He is Exalted in Might, All-Knowing.

P: Lo! thy Lord will judge between them of His wisdom, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

S: Surely your Lord will judge between them by his judgment, and He is the Mighty, the Knowing.

027.079 Y: So put thy trust in Allah: for thou art on (the path of) manifest Truth.

P: Therefor (O Muhammad) put thy trust in Allah, for thou (standest) on the plain Truth.

S: Therefore rely on Allah; surely you are on the clear truth.

027.080 Y: Truly thou canst not cause the dead to listen, nor canst thou cause the deaf to hear the call, (especially) when they turn back in retreat.

P: Lo! thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call when they have turned to flee;

S: Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do not make the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating.

027.081 Y: Nor canst thou be a guide to the blind, (to prevent them) from straying: only those wilt thou get to listen who believe in Our Signs, and they will bow in Islam.

P: Nor canst thou lead the blind out of their error. Thou canst make none to hear, save those who believe Our revelations and who have surrendered.

S: Nor can you be a guide to the blind out of their error; you cannot make to bear (any one) except those who believe in Our communications, so they submit.

027.082 Y: And when the Word is fulfilled against them (the unjust), we shall produce from the earth a beast to (face) them: He will speak to them, for that mankind did not believe with assurance in Our Signs.

P: And when the word is fulfilled concerning them, We shall bring forth a beast of the earth to speak unto them because mankind had not faith in Our revelations.

S: And when the word shall come to pass against them, We shall bring forth for them a creature from the earth that shall wound them, because people did not believe in Our communications.

027.083 Y: One day We shall gather together from every people a troop of those who reject our Signs, and they shall be kept in ranks,-

P: And (remind them of) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a host of those who denied Our revelations, and they will be set in array;

S: And on the day when We will gather from every nation a party from among those who rejected Our communications, then they shall be formed into groups.

027.084 Y: Until, when they come (before the Judgment-seat), (Allah) will say: "Did ye reject My Signs, though ye comprehended them not in knowledge, or what was it ye did?"

P: Till, when they come (before their Lord), He will say: Did ye deny My revelations when ye could not compass them in knowledge, or what was it that ye did?

S: Until when they come, He will say: Did you reject My communications while you had no comprehensive knowledge of them? Or what was it that you did?

027.085 Y: And the Word will be fulfilled against them, because of their wrong-doing, and they will be unable to speak (in plea).

P: And the Word will be fulfilled concerning them because they have done wrong, and they will not speak.

S: And the word shall come to pass against them because they were unjust, so they shall not speak.

027.086 Y: See they not that We have made the Night for them to rest in and the Day to give them light? Verily in this are Signs for any people that believe!
