在解释前文时，此章说明，先知与其反对者之间的争端，要交由真主裁决，而这一裁决将在他们全部死去之后进行。真主将依照说谎者所应得的予以报应，并将丰厚的报酬赐予追随真理的人。
Commenting on the preceding passage, the sūrah stares that the dispute between the Prophet and his opponents is left to God for judgement, which will occur after they have all died. He will requite the liars as they deserve and give generous reward to the people of the truth.
诚然，你终将死去，他们也终将死去；然后在复活日，你们都将在你们的主面前相互争辩。
Indeed you are bound to die, and they too are bound to die; and then on the Day of Resurrection you all will dispute with one another in the presence of your Lord.
死亡是每个生灵的终点。唯有真主永存。在死亡面前，所有人都有相同的归宿，包括真主最后的使者穆罕默德ﷺ。此处提及这一事实，是置于本章所强调的伟大真理的框架之中，即真主的绝对独一性。接着论述死后的情形，因为死亡并非最终的结局：它是生命链条中的一环，这一链条是如此设定的，其中没有任何一部分是徒劳无益的。在审判日，人们将站在真主面前，彼此争辩他们过去所宣称的事情，以及他们对真主所降下的指引作出了怎样的反应。
Death is the end of every living thing. Only God remains. In death all people share the same end, including Muĥammad, God’s last Messenger. Mention of this fact here comes within the framework of the great truth the sūrah emphasizes, namely, God’s absolute oneness. This is followed by stating what comes after death, because death is not the final end: it is a link in the chain of life that has been so ordained that no part of it passes in vain. On the Day of Judgement people will stand in front of God disputing with one another over what they used to claim, and how they reacted to the guidance God sent them.
谁比捏造关于真主的谎言，并在真理降临时否认它的人更不义呢？难道地狱中没有为不信道者准备的住所吗？（第32节）
Who could be more wrong than one who invents a lie about God and rejects the truth when it comes to him? Is not there in hell a proper abode for the unbelievers? (Verse 32)
这些都是以问句形式陈述的事实。没有比那种对真主妄加断言、宣称祂有女儿和同伴，继而拒绝真主的使者所传的真理、不肯相信真主独一的人更加错误的了。这就是不信，而地狱之中，为所有不信者预备了应有的归宿。以问句的形式表达这两项陈述，使其更加清晰、更加有力。
These are facts stated in the form of questions. None is more wrong than the person who makes false claims about God, alleging that He has daughters and partners, and who then rejects the truth preached by God’s Messenger, refusing to believe in God’s oneness. This is unbelief, and in hell there is a proper abode for all unbelievers. The interrogative form given to these two statements makes them clearer and more emphatic.
这是争议的一方。另一方则是带来神所赐予的真理信息、信奉它并满怀确信地将其完整传递的人。
This is one party to the dispute. The other party is the one who brings the message of truth given him by God, believes in it and delivers it fully convinced of its truth.
那是真主的使者。与他共享这一描述的，还有所有先前的真主使者，以及所有坚信此信息为真理并加以传播的人。他们确实是敬畏真主的人。
That is God’s Messenger. Sharing with him in this description are all earlier messengers of God, as well as everyone who advocates this message, fully convinced that it is true. These are indeed God-fearing.
这一章接着论述这些人以及真主为他们预备的回报："他们在主那里将得到他们所希望的一切，这是对行善者的报酬。"（第34节）这是一句总括性的话，涵盖了信士灵魂可能怀有的一切愿望。经文表明，这些都是他们所应得的，已在主那里为他们预备妥当。这意味着他们对此拥有正当的权利，这份权利不会丧失，也不会被否认："这是对行善者的报酬。"（第34节）
The sūrah speaks further about these people and the reward God has in store for them: “They will have all that they wish for with their Lord: such is the reward of those who do good.” (Verse 34) This is an all-embracing statement that includes all the desires that a believing soul may entertain. The verse states that this is theirs, ready for them with their Lord. This means that they have a rightful claim to it which will not be lost or denied: “Such is the reward of those who do good.” (Verse 34)
因此,真主赐给他们所愿赐予的一切尊荣和福分,这超出了他们应得的报酬。这样,祂便将丰厚的恩典赐予他们:"真主必消除他们最恶的行为,并依照他们最善的行为给予他们报酬。"(第35节)公平要求善行与恶行相抵,报酬也据此而定。然而,真主的恩典在于,祂赐予那些敬畏祂的仆人:祂勾销他们最恶的行为,使其在计算功过时不被计入,然后依照他们所做的最善之事给予报酬。如此,他们的善功便得以增长,并占据优势。
Thus God gives them all that He wishes to give them of honour and blessing, which is in excess of their fair reward. Thus, He bestows on them an abundance of His grace: “God will expunge the worst of their deeds and will give them their reward in accordance with the best that they did.” (Verse 35) Fairness requires that good deeds are set against bad ones and reward is determined on that basis. God’s grace, however, is that which God grants to His servants who feared Him: He writes off the worst of their deeds, so that they are not taken into account when their deeds are reckoned, and then He rewards them on the basis of the best they ever did. Thus their good deeds are made to grow and become preponderant.
这便是真主的恩典，祂将它赐予祂所意欲的人。祂已将此事确定于自身，并许下了这一承诺。因此，这是敬畏真主者所确信的事实。
Such is God’s grace which He bestows on whomever He wills. He has committed Himself to do this, giving a promise to this effect. Thus, it is a fact of which the God- fearing are certain.
