34:9

أَفَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ إِن نَّشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً لِّكُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُّنِيبٍ

Translation

EN

See they not what is before them and behind them, of the sky and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth to swallow them up, or cause a piece of the sky to fall upon them. Verily in this is a Sign for every devotee that turns to Allah (in repentance).

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Do they not think about what is in front of them and behind them in the heavens and earth? If We wished, We could make the earth swallow them, or make fragments from the heavens fall down upon them. There truly is a sign in this for every servant who turns back to God in repentance.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Have they not observed what is before them and what is behind them of the sky and the earth? If We will, We can make the earth swallow them, or cause obliteration from the sky to fall on them. Lo! herein surely is a portent for every slave who turneth (to Allah) repentant.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to Allāh].

Önlerinde ve ardlarında olan göğü ve yeri görmezler mi? Dilesek onları yere geçirir veya göğün bir parçasını başlarına indiririz. Bunlarda, Allah'a yönelen her kul için dersler vardır.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Ya gökten ve yerden önlerindekine ve arkalarındakine bir bakmazlar mı? Dilesek kendilerini yere geçiriveririz. Yahut gökten üzerlerine parçalar düşürüveririz. Şüphesiz bunda Allah'a yönelen (hakka gönül veren) her kul için bir ibret vardır.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Onlar gökten ve yerden, önlerinde ve arkalarında (olup bitenlere) hiç bakmıyorlar mı? Dilesek onları yere batırır veya üzerlerine gökten parçalar düşürürüz. Şüphesiz ki bunda (Rabbine) yönelen her kul için bir ders vardır. Sebe'

أفلم ير هؤلاء الكفار الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة عظيم قدرة الله فيما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم من السماء والأرض مما يبهر العقول، وأنهما قد أحاطتا بهم؟ إن نشأ نخسف بهم الأرض، كما فعلنا بقارون، أو ننزل عليهم قطعًا من العذاب، كما فعلنا بقوم شعيب، فقد أمطرت السماء عليهم نارًا فأحرقتهم. إن في ذلك الذي ذكرنا من قدرتنا لَدلالة ظاهرة لكل عبد راجع إلى ربه بالتوبة، ومقر له بتوحيده، ومخلص له في العبادة.
