Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “Imagine if Allah were to make the night perpetual for you until the Day of Judgment, which god other than Allah could bring you sunlight? Will you not then listen?”

Ask ˹them also˺, “Imagine if Allah were to make the day perpetual for you until the Day of Judgment, which god other than Allah could bring you night to rest in? Will you not then see?”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

28:73

وَمِن

It is out of His mercy that He has made for you the day and night so that you may rest ˹in the latter˺ and seek His bounty ˹in the former˺, and perhaps you will be grateful.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

28:74

وَيَوۡمَ

فَيَقُولُ

أَيۡنَ

شُرَكَآءِيَ

And ˹watch for˺ the Day He will call to them, “Where are those you claimed were My associate-gods?”

٧٥

And We will bring forth a witness¹ from every faith-community and ask ˹the polytheists˺, “Show ˹Us˺ your proof.” Then they will ˹come to˺ know that the truth is with Allah ˹alone˺. And whatever ˹gods˺ they fabricated will fail them.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

Indeed, Korah¹ was from the people of Moses, but he behaved arrogantly towards them. We had granted him such treasures that even their keys would burden a group of strong men. ˹Some of˺ his people advised him, “Do not be prideful! Surely Allah does not like the prideful.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

28:77

٧٧

Rather, seek the ˹reward˺ of the Hereafter by means of what Allah has granted you, without forgetting your share of this world. And be good ˹to others˺ as Allah has been good to you. Do not seek to spread corruption in the land, for Allah certainly does not like the corruptors.”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

He replied, “I have been granted all this because of some knowledge I have.”¹ Did he not know that Allah had already destroyed some from the generations before him who were far superior to him in power and greater in accumulating ˹wealth˺? There will be no need for the wicked to be asked about their sins.²

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

28:79

Then he came out before his people in all his glamour. Those who desired the life of this world wished, “If only we could have something like what Korah has been given. He is truly a man of great fortune!”

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

28:80

وَقَالَ

ٱلَّذِينَ

But those gifted with knowledge said, “Shame on you! Allah’s reward is far better for those who believe and do good. But none will attain this except the steadfast.”
