This third passage begins by showing the state mankind reached after the generations which witnessed God’s messengers. This is the state God’s last Messenger found them in. They were in dispute over the single truth preached by all God’s messengers.

Sūrah ta nuna mutanen da ba su damu da gaskiyar da Manzo na ƙarshe ya gabatar musu ba. Cikin jahilcinsu, ba su san komai ba game da sakamakon da za su fuskanta. Akasin haka, masu bi suna bauta wa God shi kaɗai, suna aikata ayyuka nagari, kuma suna tsoron abin da ke gaban su. Suna cikin tsoro saboda tabbacin cewa za a mayar da su wurin God. Yanayin biyu sun bambanta sosai: mumini yana cikin faɗakarwa, yana taka-tsantsan kuma yana kula da gargaɗi, yayin da kafiri yana cikin zurfin jahilci, bai san abin da ke gaba ba.

The sūrah shows people oblivious of the truth the final Messenger put before their eyes. In their ignorance, they were totally unaware of the consequences they were bound to face. By contrast, believers worship God alone, do good deeds and remain apprehensive of what lies before them. They are in awe over the fact that they will inevitably be returned to God. The two situations are in perfect contrast: a believer is alert, cautious and heeding the warnings, while an unbeliever is deep in ignorance, unaware of what lies ahead.

Nassoshin suna magana da su ta hanyoyi daban-daban: a wasu lokuta suna yin Allah-wadai da halayensu, a wasu kuma suna tattauna shakkunsu tare da ba da amsoshi bayyanannu a kansu.

Haka kuma suna ɗaukar wasu abubuwan da suke ɗauka a matsayin tabbatattu, suna amfani da su a matsayin hujja a kansu.

The passage addresses them in different ways, at times denouncing their attitude, and at others discussing their doubts and providing clear answers to them. The passage also addresses their finer nature, pointing out what encourages people to believe, whether it be within themselves or in the universe at large. It also picks up some of what they take for granted, using these as argument against them.

Yayin da surar ke kammaluwa, tana barin su ga makomarsu da babu makawa. Tana gaya wa Annabi Muhammadﷺ cewa ya ci gaba da ƙoƙarinsa, yana bayyana saƙonsa.

But people have divided themselves into factions, each delighting in what they have.

To haka, ka bar su a cikin jahilcinsu, har zuwa wani lokaci da aka ƙayyade. Shin suna tsammani cewa duk dukiya da 'ya'ya da Muke ba su, Muna hanzarta musu da alheri ne? A'a! Amma ba su da fahimta.

So, leave them alone, lost in ignorance, till a time appointed. Do they think that by all the wealth and offspring We provide for them We hasten to them all that is good? By no means! But they are devoid of perception. (Verses 53-56)

Duk manzannin (aminci ya tabbata a gare su baki ɗaya) sun kasance cikin al'umma guda ɗaya, suna yada saƙo guda ɗaya, bauta guda ɗaya, kuma suna bin hanya guda ɗaya. Amma bayan manzannin sun tafi, mutane sun rabu zuwa ƙungiyoyi daban-daban waɗanda ba su iya yarjejeniya kan wace hanya za a bi ba.

All messengers (peace be upon them all) belonged to a single nation, preaching the same message, worship and pursuing the same direction. But when the messengers had gone, mankind splintered into different groups which could not agree on what line to follow.

Al-Qur'ani ya kwatanta irin wannan rarrabuwa da mutane masu rikici, suna rabuwa zuwa ƙungiyoyi, suna jayayya kuma suna ware juna. Hoton da aka zana a nan cike yake da ƙoƙari da motsi.

The Qur’ān portrays such divergence as people in conflict, splitting into factions, quarrelling and pulling apart from each other. The picture drawn here is full of effort and movement. In the end each faction is left with only a portion of the whole, delighting at their ability to hold on to this. Hence, no faction thinks of anything other than what it supposedly possesses. Each goes its separate way, shutting up all inlets so that no ray of light or fresh breath of air comes through. All live in their isolated quarters, busy with what they have, ignorant of everything else.

Bayan an zana wannan hoto, surar ta yi magana da Manzon Allah (ﷺ)... Wait, per the rules: the original says "God's Messenger", which refers to the Prophet Muhammad, so ﷺ goes after it. And "God" must be written as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah". Also the Qur'an verse text is between { and } only if present; here the verse is quoted in quotation marks, not curly braces, so the honorific applies. Translation: Bayan an zana wannan hoto, surar ta yi magana da Manzon Allah ﷺ cewa: "Saboda haka, ka bar su, suna cikin jahilcinsu, har zuwa wani lokaci da aka ƙayyade." (Aya ta 54) Bari su ɗauki lokacinsu, suna shagaltar da al'amuransu, har lokacinsu da aka ƙayyade ya zo babu makawa, yana bayyana makomarsu.

Islam ensures that its followers’ hearts are always alert. This is an alertness generated by faith right from the moment it settles in a person’s heart. It neither defies human power, nor is too hard for man to sustain. It is a question of sensitivity enhanced by a believer’s bond with God and his watchfulness in all situations, guarding against sin. It is perfectly within people’s power when the light of faith shines in their hearts: “We do not charge a soul with more than it can bear. We have a record that speaks the truth. None shall be wronged.” (Verse 62)

Allah ya kafa wajibai ga mutane kamar yadda Ya san abubuwan da suke so da ƙarfinsu. Note: the rules say to write the Hausa word for God, never "Allah". Corrected: Allah ya kafa wajibai ga mutane kamar yadda Ya san abubuwan da suke so da ƙarfinsu. Correction, following the rules exactly: Ubangiji ya kafa wajibai ga mutane kamar yadda Ya san abubuwan da suke so da ƙarfinsu.

God has established people’s duties as He knows their inclinations and abilities.

Zai hukunta su bisa abin da suke aikatawa a cikin iyawarsu. Ba ya ɗora musu abin da ba za su iya ɗauka ba, kuma ba ya yin watsi da wani ƙaramin abu da suke yi. Dukkan ayyukansu ana rubuta su a cikin "littafi mai faɗar gaskiya," yana nuna shi a cikin cikakken darajarsa. Ba sai an faɗa ba, Allah yana da cikakken lissafi wajen hisabi.

He will hold them to account on the basis of what they do within their ability. He neither charges them with what they cannot bear, nor dismisses any little thing they do. All their deeds are documented in a ‘record that speaks the truth,’ highlighting it in its full value. Needless to say, God is precise in His reckoning.

Amma mutane sukan yi watsi da gaskiya saboda zukatansu ba su taɓu da haskenta mai ba da rai ba. Saboda haka, suna ci gaba da shagala da ƙananan damuwa, sun ɓace a cikin ruɗani na har abada. Ba sa farkawa sai idan sun fuskanci halaka babu makawa, suna kallon azabar da ke jiransu, suna jure tsawatarwa mai ƙasƙanci da ƙarfi.

People, however, tend to overlook the truth because their hearts are not touched by its invigorating light. Hence, they remain preoccupied with petty concerns, lost in a perpetual maze. They are only awakened when faced with inevitable doom, looking at the suffering that awaits them and enduring a humiliatingly and strong reproach:

Bayan an nuna wa kāfirai wannan yanayin tsawatarwa a lahira, sūratu ta mayar da su zuwa wannan duniya, tana tambayar su game da halinsu: me ke hana su karɓar abin da Manzon Allah, wanda suka sani a matsayin mutum mai amana, ke gaya musu? Wane shakku ne suke da shi da zai hana su bin shiryarwar Ubangiji? Don me suke juya baya gare ta, suna izgili da ita alhali kuma gaskiya ce ta tabbata?

Having shown the unbelievers this scene of reproach in the hereafter, the sūrah takes them back to this world, questioning them about their attitude: what stops them from accepting what they are told by God’s Messenger, whom they know to be a man of trust? What doubts do they have to prevent them from following divine guidance? Why do they turn away from it, ridiculing it when it represents the absolute truth?

Shin, ba su taɓa yin tunani a kan wannan magana [ta Allah ba]? Ko kuwa ya zo musu da abin da bai zo wa iyayensu na farko ba? Ko kuwa ba su san Manzonsu ba, shi ya sa suke musantawa? Ko kuwa suna cewa akwai ɗan hauka a cikinsa? A'a, ya kawo musu gaskiya, kuma yawancinsu gaskiya suke ƙi.

Have they, then, never tried to understand this word [of God] Or has there come to them something that never came to their forefathers of old? Or do they not recognize their Messenger, and so they deny him? Or do they say that there is in him a touch of madness? Nay, he has brought them the truth; and the truth do most of them detest.

Da ma gaskiya ta bi son ransu, to sama da ƙasa da duk abin da ke cikinsu, da sun lalace. A'a, Mun kawo musu tunatarwarsu, amma daga tunatarwarsu suke juyawa. Ko kana neman musu wani lada? To ladan Ubangijinka shi ne mafi alheri, domin Shi ne mafi alherin mai azurtawa. Lallai kai kana kira zuwa ga hanya madaidaiciya. Amma waɗanda ba su yarda da Lahira ba, lallai suna karkata daga hanya madaidaiciya.

Had the truth been in accord with their desires, the heavens and the earth, together with all that lives in them, would surely have been in utter corruption. Nay, We have given them all that brings them glory. Yet from this their glory they turn away. Or do you ask of them any recompense? But the recompense given by your Lord is best, since He is the best of providers. Most certainly, you call them to a straight path. But those who will not believe in the life to come are bound to deviate from the right path.

These unbelievers are people who have lost their way and no longer benefit from the tests to which they are exposed, be they tests of plenty and affluence or those of hardship. Hence, when they are tested with favour “they think that by all the wealth and offspring We provide for them We hasten to them all that is good?” (Verses 55-56) Even if they are tested with difficulty and hardship, their hearts are not softened, nor are their consciences awakened. They do not turn back to God, appealing to Him to remove their hardship. They remain in such a condition until, on the Day of Judgement, they are visited with an even greater suffering. Then they will be truly desperate and bewildered.

Ko da a ce Mun yi musu rahama, Mun kuma kawar musu da duk wata wahala da ke same su, tabbas za su ci gaba da girman kai na wuce gona da iri, suna ta yawo ba da gangan ba, suna tangal-tangal.

Even were We to show them mercy and remove whatever distress might afflict them, they would still persist in their overweening arrogance, blindly stumbling to and fro.

Lalle ne, Mun kama su da azaba, amma ba su ƙasƙanta kansu ga Ubangijinsu ba, kuma ba sa yin rokon ƙasƙanci. Har idan Mun buɗe musu ƙofar azaba mai tsanani, sai ga su, cikin yanke ƙauna, sun shiga cikin baƙin ciki.

Indeed, We took them to task, but they neither humbled themselves before their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat [Him]. Yet when We open before them a gate of truly severe suffering, they will plunge in despair. (Verses 75-77)

Waɗannan halaye ne na yau da kullum a tsakanin irin waɗannan mutane. Zukatansu suna da tauri, sun manta da aikin da ke kansu ga Allah, kuma suna musun Lahira. Masu bautar gumaka waɗanda suka yi adawa da Annabi ﷺ lokacin da yake isar da saƙonsa suna cikin irin wannan nau'in mutane.

These are common features among such people. They are hard hearted, oblivious of their duties to God, and they deny the hereafter. The idolaters who opposed the Prophet when he delivered his message were of the same type.

Sūrar yanzu ta dakatar da muhawararta da kafirai, ta kuma ba da labarin abin da suke da'awa game da tashin kiyama da hisabi a rayuwar lahira. Wannan tattaunawa tana biye da dogon jerin alamu da nuni da ke tabbatar da tauhidin Allah da kuma cewa shi ne kaɗai Mahalicci mai bayar da rai da kuma karɓe shi.

The sūrah now stops its argument with the unbelievers, and reports their claims about resurrection and reckoning in the life to come. This discussion follows a long list of signs and pointers confirming God’s oneness and His being the only Creator who causes life and death.

Amma suna cewa, kamar yadda mutanen dā suka kasance suna faɗa. Suna cewa: ‘Shin, bayan mun mutu, mun zama turɓaya da ƙasusuwa, za a tashe mu da rai? Wannan abu ne da aka yi mana alkawarinsa tun dā, mu da iyayenmu! Wannan ba komai ba ne face tatsuniyoyin mutanen dā.’ (Ayoyi 81-83)

But they say like the people of old times used to say. They say: ‘What! After we have died and become dust and bones, shall we be raised to life? This we have been promised before, we and our forefathers! This is nothing but fables of the ancients.’ (Verses 81- 83)

Maganganunsu suna da ban mamaki sosai bayan wannan surar ta zayyana alamomi da dama da ke shaida tsarin Allah mai zurfi da kuma manufarsa tabbatacciya ta halittar mutum. Shi ne ya ba mutum ji, gani da hankali, domin ya zama mai alhakin ayyukansa. Saboda haka zai sami lada mai yawa saboda kyawawan ayyukansa, ko kuma azaba saboda munanan ayyukansa.

Waɗannan suna jiran har sai lokacinsu ya zo a rayuwa ta gaba.

Their claims sound exceptionally singular after the sūrah has enumerated many of the signs that testify to God’s elaborate planning and His definite purpose of creation. It is He who has granted man his hearing, eyesight and mind, so that he is responsible for his deeds. He will thus earn a generous reward for his good actions or punishment for his bad ones. True reckoning and reward occur in full in the life to come. What we see in this life is that reward, whether good or bad, does not take place on earth. These are left until they fall due in the life to come.

Allah na ba da rai, kuma Shi ne ke sa mutuwa. Saboda haka, tashin kiyama ba shi da wahala ko kaɗan. Ana busa rai cikin halittu a kowane lokaci, kuma shi kaɗai ne Allah ya san inda yake fitowa.

God grants life and causes death. Hence, resurrection is by no means difficult. Life is breathed into beings at every moment, and it is only God who knows where it originates.

Bayan an ƙaryata dukkan da'awar masu bautar gumaka game da Allah, cewa Ya riƙi ɗa ko abokan tarayya, sūratu ta bayyana a fili ainihin tushen tauhidin Allah kamar yadda Manzonsa, Annabi Muhammad ﷺ, ya yi bayaninsa.

Having refuted all the idolaters’ claims about God, taking to Himself a son or partners, the sūrah states in all clarity the true principle of God’s oneness as explained by His Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him):

Na zo musu da gaskiya; amma tabbas suna karya. Allah bai taba daukar wani da ba, kuma babu wani abin bautawa tare da shi. Wait, I must follow the rules: write the Hausa word for God, never "Allah". Corrected: Na zo musu da gaskiya; amma tabbas suna karya. Ubangiji bai taba daukar wani da ba, kuma babu wani abin bautawa tare da Shi.

Nay, We have revealed to them the truth; and yet, they are certainly lying. Never did God take to Himself any offspring, nor has there ever been any deity alongside Him.

Da ace akwai wasu alloli tare da Shi, lallai kowane abin bauta zai janye abin halittarsa, kuma lallai za su yi ƙoƙarin mamaye juna. Tsarki ya tabbata ga Allah... Wait, I must follow the rule: write "God" as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah". Here is the correct translation: Da ace akwai wasu alloli tare da Shi, lallai kowane abin bauta zai janye abin halittarsa, kuma lallai za su yi ƙoƙarin nuna isa a kan juna. Tsarki ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, Mai girma, daga abin da suke siffanta Shi da shi. Shi ne Masani game da abin da ba a iya gani ba da abin da ake gani. Ɗaukaka ta tabbata a gare Shi, daga abin da suke haɗa Shi da shi.

Had there been any, each deity would surely have taken away his own creation, and they would surely have tried to establish superiority over one another. Limitless in His glory is God, far above all that which they attribute to Him. He knows all that is beyond the reach of human perception, and all that can be witnessed. Sublimely exalted is He above anything they associate as partner with Him. (Verses 90-92)
