P:  He maketh the night to pass into the day and He maketh the day to pass into the night.  He hath subdued the sun and moon to service.  Each runneth unto an appointed term.  Such is Allah, your Lord; His is the Sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of Him own not so much as the white spot on a date-stone.

S:  He causes the night to enter in upon the day, and He causes the day to enter in upon the night, and He has made subservient (to you) the sun and the moon; each one follows its course to an appointed time; this is Allah, your Lord, His is the kingdom; and those whom you call upon besides Him do not control a straw.

035.014 Y:  If ye invoke them, they will not listen to your call, and if they were to listen, they cannot answer your (prayer).  On the Day of Judgment they will reject your “Partnership”. and none, (O man!) can tell thee (the Truth) like the One Who is acquainted with all things.

P:  If ye pray unto them they hear not your prayer, and if they heard they could not grant it you.  On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you.  None can inform you like Him Who is Aware.

S:  If you call on them they shall not hear your call, and even if they could hear they shall not answer you; and on the resurrection day they will deny your associating them (with Allah); and none can inform you like the One Who is Aware.

035.015 Y:  O ye men!  It is ye that have need of Allah:  but Allah is the One Free of all wants, worthy of all praise.

P:  O mankind!  Ye are the poor in your relation to Allah.  And Allah!  He is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise.

S:  O men! you are they who stand in need of Allah, and Allah is He Who is the Self-sufficient, the Praised One.

035.016 Y:  If He so pleased, He could blot you out and bring in a New Creation.

P:  If He will, He can be rid of you and bring (instead of you) some new creation.

S:  If He please, He will take you off and bring a new generation.

035.017 Y:  Nor is that (at all) difficult for Allah.

P:  That is not a hard thing for Allah.

S:  And this is not hard to Allah.

035.018 Y:  Nor can a bearer of burdens bear another’s burdens if one heavily laden should call another to (bear) his load.  Not the least portion of it can be carried (by the other).  Even though he be nearly related.  Thou canst but admonish such as fear their Lord unseen and establish regular Prayer.  And whoever purifies himself does so for the benefit of his own soul; and the destination (of all) is to Allah.

P:  And no burdened soul can bear another’s burden, and if one heavy laden crieth for (help with) his load, naught of it will be lifted even though he (unto whom he crieth) be of kin.  Thou warnest only those who fear their Lord in secret, and have established worship.  He who groweth (in goodness), groweth only for himself, (he cannot by his merit redeem others).  Unto Allah is the journeying.
