Verse 31

وَلَوْ And if أَنَّ that was قُرْءَانًۭا any Quran سُيِّرَتْ could be moved بِهِ by it ٱلْجِبَالُ the mountains أَوْ or قُطِّعَتْ could be cloven asunder بِهِ by it ٱلْأَرْضُ the earth أَوْ or كُلِّمَ could be made to speak بِهِ by it ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۗ the dead بَل Nay لِّلَّهِ with Allah ٱلْأَمْرُ (is) the command جَمِيعًا ۗ all أَفَلَمْ Then do not يَا۟يْـَٔسِ know ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe أَن that لَّوْ if يَشَآءُ had willed ٱللَّهُ Allah لَهَدَى surely, He would have guided ٱلنَّاسَ all جَمِيعًۭا ۗ all of the mankind وَلَا And not يَزَالُ will cease ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve تُصِيبُهُم to strike them بِمَا for what صَنَعُوا۟ they did قَارِعَةٌ a disaster أَوْ or تَحُلُّ it settles قَرِيبًۭا close مِّن from دَارِهِمْ their homes حَتَّىٰ until يَأْتِىَ comes وَعْدُ (the) promise ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (will) not يُخْلِفُ fail ٱلْمِيعَادَ (in) the Promise ٣١

And if there was any Qur’ān [i.e., recitation] by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur’ān], but to Allāh belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allāh willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh does not fail in [His] promise.
