Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths. But their hands will speak to us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did

al-yawma nakhtimu ʿalā afwāhihim watukallimunā aydīhim watashhadu arjuluhum bimā kānū yaksibūn

36:66

وَلَوۡ نَشَاۤءُ لَطَمَسۡنَا عَلَىٰۤ أَعۡیُنِهِمۡ فَٱسۡتَبَقُوا۟ ٱلصِّرَ ٰطَ فَأَنَّىٰ یُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٦٦

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

If it had been our Will, We could surely have blotted out their eyes; then should they have run about groping for the Path, but how could they have seen

And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error)

وَمَا عَلَّمۡنَـٰهُ ٱلشِّعۡرَ وَمَا یَنۢبَغِی لَهُۥۤۚ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرࣱ وَقُرۡءَانࣱ مُّبِینࣱ ۝٦٩

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear

Yusuf Ali (Orig. 1938)

See they not that it is We Who have created for them - among the things which Our hands have fashioned - cattle, which are under their dominion?
