۞ أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ ١٦

Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) to be affected by Allah's Reminder (this Quran), and that which has been revealed of the truth, lest they become as those who received the Scripture [the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] before (i.e. Jews and Christians), and the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened? And many of them were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

۞ أَلَمْ يَأْنِ

Has not the time come

لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا

for the hearts of those who believe

أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ

to be affected by Allah's Reminder

لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ

(this Quran), and that which has been revealed of the truth

وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ

lest they become as those who received the Scripture before

فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ

and the term was prolonged for them

فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ

and so their hearts were hardened

وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

And many of them were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah)

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ١٧

Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death! Indeed We have made clear the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) to you, if you but understand.

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۚ
