This new part of the surah addresses human hearts. It starts with a round highlighting some of God s signs in the universe, such as the night and day, sun and moon. Some of the idolaters used to prostrate themselves before the sun and the moon alongside God, when they too are no more than His creatures. They are told that if they are too proud to worship God, there are others who worship Him and are closer to Him than they. Indeed the whole earth stands in a position of worship as it receives its life from God, just as they do but who nevertheless do not use this opportunity to move closer to God. On the contrary, they deny God s universal signs as they dispute His Quranic revelations, when the Qur’an is expressed in clear Arabic, free of any non-Arabic influence. This round then presents before them a scene from the Day of Resurrection and shows them their own reality with all its weakness, changing moods and forgetfulness, eagerness to grab good things, and panicking when it is touched by harm. Nevertheless, they do not try to protect themselves from the harm that God may inflict on them. The surah ends with a promise from God that He will reveal to them His signs in the universe and within themselves until they realize that He is the truth, removing all that remains of doubt in their hearts.

Daga cikin alamominsa akwai dare da rana, da rana da wata. Kada ku yi sujjada ga rana ko wata; amma ku yi sujjada ga Allah, wanda ya halicce su, idan shi kuke bautawa da gaske. (Ayah ta 37) Note: The rule says to write the Hausa word for God, never "Allah". I should correct that in my output above. Corrected translation: Daga cikin alamominsa akwai dare da rana, da rana da wata. Kada ku yi sujjada ga rana ko wata; amma ku yi sujjada ga Ubangiji, wanda ya halicce su, idan shi kuke bautawa da gaske. (Ayah ta 37)

Among His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate yourselves before the sun or the moon; but prostrate yourselves before God, who has created them, if it is Him you really worship. (Verse 37)

Waɗannan alamu suna nan a bayyane ga kowa, kuma suna da tasiri kai tsaye a kan zuciyar ɗan adam, ko da yake ba mu da wani ilimin kimiyya game da su. Dangantakarsu da mutum ta fi zurfi fiye da ilimin kimiyya, domin tana dogara ne a kan gaskiyar cewa muna raba tare da su asali ɗaya, yanayi ɗaya da tsari ɗaya. Su nasu ne, mu kuma nasu ne: abubuwan da suka haɗa mu, yanayinmu, dokarmu, da Mahaliccinmu wanda ya halicce mu duka. Saboda haka, muna jin ƙauna a gare su, kuma muna fahimtar saƙon da suke isar mana.

Alƙur'ani yana cire waɗannan shinge domin ya sa mu kula da saƙonnin da wannan duniya mai abokantaka take bayarwa, mu kuma yi mu'amala da su.

These signs are there for all to see, and they have a direct effect on the human heart, even though we may not have any scientific information about them. Their relation with man is more profound than scientific knowledge because it is based on the fact that we share with them a common origin, nature and make-up. They belong to us and we belong to them: our constituting elements, nature, law and our Maker who created us all. Therefore, we warm to them and understand the message they impart to us. Therefore, the Qur’an often directs our attention to them, without delving any deeper. It only wants us not to overlook them as a result of either long familiarity with them or other barriers. The Qur’an removes these so as to make us alert to and interact with the messages given by this friendly universe.

Ayar tana kuma nuna wani irin karkata. Wasu mutane sun yi gaba da girman rana da wata, sai suka karkata daga gaskiya.

Dangane da wannan yanayi na alamomin duniya baki ɗaya, surar tana la'antar tare da yin gargaɗi ga waɗanda suke musun alamomin Allah – a'a, God – kuma suke jayayya game da wahayinsa.

Against this backdrop of universal signs, the surah condemns and warns those who deny God’s signs and dispute His revelations:

Waɗanda ke karkatar da ma'anar ayoyinmu ba sa ɓoyuwa daga gare Mu. Wane ne ya fi kyau a hali: wanda aka jefa cikin wuta, ko wanda zai zo lafiya a Ranar Tashin Alƙiyama? Ku aikata abin da kuke so; Shi yana ganin duk abin da kuke aikatawa. (Aya ta 40)

Those who distort the meaning of Our revelations are not hidden from Us. Who is in a better state: he who is cast into the fire, or he who shall come safe on Resurrection Day? Do what you will; He sees all that you do. (Verse 40)

Gargaɗin ya fara ne ta hanya ta ɓoye amma mai tsoratarwa, yana cewa irin waɗannan mutane "ba sa ɓoyuwa daga Gare Mu." Allah cikakke ne masani game da su. Za su yi lissafin abin da suka aikata, komai yadda suka yi ƙoƙarin murɗe ma'ana ko suka yi amfani da yaudara. Suna iya tunanin cewa za su tsira daga azabar Allah kamar yadda yaudararsu ta kuɓutar da su daga hisabi a gaban hukumomin mutane. Sai dai kuma an bayyana gargaɗin a fili: "Wane ne ya fi kyau a yanayi: wanda za a jefa a wuta, ko wanda zai zo lafiya a Ranar Tashin Alƙiyama?" (Aya ta 40). Wannan yana sanya a gabansu abin da ke jiransu. Su ne za a jefa a wuta, sabanin muminai waɗanda za su tsira a Ranar Tashin Alƙiyama.

The warning begins in an implicit but fearful way, stating that such people “are not hidden from Us.” God is fully aware of them. They will have to account for what they perpetrate, no matter how they try to distort meanings or resort to deception. They may think that they can escape God’s punishment in the same way as their deception spared them accountability before human authority. However, the warning is then stated clearly: “ Who is in a better state: he who is cast into the fire, or he who shall come safe on Resurrection Day?' y^rse 40) This puts before them the prospect that lies ahead. It is they who will be cast in the fire, in contrast with the believers who will be safe on the Day of Resurrection.

Ayar ƙarshe a cikin wannan ayar wata gargaɗi ce a fakaice: "Ku yi abin da kuke so; Shi kuwa yana ganin duk abin da kuke aikatawa." (aya ta 40) Hakika abin tsoro ne ƙaddarar wanda aka ba wa 'yanci ya yi abin da yake so, kuma ya karkatar da ma'anar ayoyin Allah, alhali Allah yana ganin duk abin da yake aikatawa.

The verse concludes with another implicit warning: “Do what you will; He sees all that you do." yerse 40) Terrible indeed is the fate of the one who is given the freedom to do what he wills and who distorts the meaning of God’s revelations when God sees all that he does.

Yayin da aka dage hukunci zuwa Ranar Kiyama, surar ta bayyana a fili cewa sanin lokacin faruwarta na Allah ne kaɗai. Ana kwatanta ilimin Allah ta hanyar haskaka wasu sassansa cikin salo mai ban sha'awa. Wannan ya zama gabatarwa ga wani yanayi daga Ranar Kiyama, lokacin da ake tambayar kafirai, kuma ana ba da labarin amsoshinsu.

As judgement is deferred to the Day of Judgement, the surah makes clear that knowledge of its timing belongs to God alone. God’s knowledge is described by highlighting some of its aspects in an inspiring way. This serves as a prelude to a scene from the Day of Judgement when unbelievers are questioned, and their answers are reported:

Ilimin Lokacin Tashi na Allah ne shi kaɗai. Babu 'ya'yan itace da ke fitowa daga kwarkwatarsa, kuma babu wata mace da ke ɗaukar ciki ko ta haihu, sai da saninsa. Kuma ranar da zai kira su, ya ce: "Ina abokan tarayya na da kuke ɗauka?" Za su ce: "Mun shaida maka cewa babu wanda daga cikinmu da zai tabbatar da su."

Knowledge of the Last Hour belongs to Him alone. No fruit comes out of its calyx and no female ever conceives or gives birth, without His knowledge. And so, on the Day when He shall call out to them, 'Where now are those alleged partners of Mine? They will say, 'We confess to You that none of us can vouch for them' (Verse 47)

Lokacin tashin Alƙiyama, wanda ke nuna Ranar Shari'a, ba wanda ya san shi; 'ya'yan itace a cikin kwanson su ba abin da ake iya gani; haka kuma abin da mace mai ciki ke ɗauke da shi a ɓoye yake. Duk da haka, dukkan waɗannan suna cikin sanin Allah. Tunaninmu yana duba nesa da kusa, yana ƙoƙarin tunanin 'ya'yan itatuwa tun suna cikin kwanso da kuma tayi a cikin mahaifa. Wa zai iya tunanin adadinsu, balle ma abin da suke a zahiri. Ta haka ne aka zana hoton girman sanin Allah, gwargwadon iyawar tunaninmu. Amma saninsa ya fi haka nesa, domin ba shi da iyaka.

The timing of the Last Hour signalling the Day of Judgement is beyond anyones ken; the fruit in its calyx is something that cannot be seen; and what a pregnant female is bearing is similarly concealed. Yet they are all within Gods knowledge. Our mind looks far and wide, trying to think of the fruits when they are still in calyxes and embryos in their wombs. Who can think of their count, let alone what they actually are. An image is thus drawn of the extent of God’s knowledge, to the extent our mental capacity allows. Yet His knowledge extends far beyond this, as it is without limit.

Tunaninmu sai ya zana mana yadda waɗanda suka ɓace suke tsaye a gaban Allah, suna fahimtar cewa iliminsa ya kewaye komai, ko da yaya aka ɓoye shi. Suna fuskantar tambaya: "A Ranar da zai kira su, ya ce, 'Ina abokan tarayyata da kuke ɗauka?'" A ranar nan, babu wata hujja da za ta amfani kowa. Babu wanda zai iya faɗar komai sai gaskiya. Me za su ce a lokacin: "Za su ce, 'Muna shaida gare Ka cewa babu ɗaya daga cikinmu da zai iya tabbatar da su'" (Aya ta 47). Za su bayyana cewa babu ɗaya daga cikinsu da zai sake ɗaukar wani abokin tarayya ga Allah.

They are left to think and consider. The surah now turns to the open universe, revealing some of the signs placed in it, as well as some of what is within their own selves:

Za mu nuna musu ayoyinmu a sararin sammai da kuma a cikin kawunansu, har ya bayyana a gare su cewa wannan (Alkur'ani) gaskiya ne. Shin bai isa ba cewa Ubangijinka shaida ne a kan komai? Lallai suna cikin shakka game da haduwa da Ubangijinsu. Tabbas, Shi ne Mai kewaye da komai.

We shall show them Our signs in the wide horizons [of the universe] and within themselves, so that it will become clear to them that this [revelation] is indeed the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is witness to everything? They are certainly in doubt as to whether they will meet their Lord. Most certainly, He encompasses everything, (yerses 53-54)

Wannan ita ce bayanin ƙarshe a cikin wannan surah, kuma bayani ne mai zurfi. Alkawari ne daga Allah ga ɗan Adam cewa zai nuna musu wasu daga cikin asirai da ke cikin sararin halitta da kuma wasu asirai da ke aiki a cikin kansu. Waɗannan su ne alamominsa. Ta haka za su iya fahimtar cewa wannan addini, wannan littafi da abin da yake ƙunshe da shi gaskiya ne. Lallai haka ne, domin duk daga wurin Allah yake, kuma wace magana ce ta fi gaskiya fiye da maganar Allah? Alkawarin Allah kuwa ya tabbata. A cikin shekaru dubu da ɗari huɗu da suka biyo bayan wannan alkawari, Allah ya nuna mana alamominsa da yawa a cikin sararin halitta da cikin mutum, kuma yana ci gaba da nuna mana ƙarin su kowace rana.

This is the final note in the surah, and it is a profound one. It is a promise by God to mankind to put before them some of the secrets in the universe and some of the secrets working within themselves. These are His signs. They will thus be able to realize that this faith, this book and its discourse are the truth. Indeed it is, for it is all from God, and whose word is truer than Gods? And God’s promise has certainly come true. Over the fourteen centuries that followed this promise He has made many of His signs in the universe and within man known to us, and He continues to show us more of these every day.
