35:22 wa maa yastawil aHyaau wa lal amwaat* in-nal-laaha yusmi'U may yashaa'* wa maa anta bi musmi'Im man fiyl qubuur
Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And not equal are the living and the dead!
Indeed Allah causes them to listen *, whomever He wills; and you cannot
make those who are in the graves ** listen. (* Listen to guidance **The
disbelievers are referred to as dead, whose fates are sealed.)
Yusuf Ali:
Nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead. Allah can make any that He wills to hear; but thou canst not make those to hear who are (buried) in graves.
Pickthal:
Nor are the living equal with the dead. Lo! Allah maketh whom He will to hear. Thou canst not reach those who are in the graves.
