فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
“Then, which of the Aalaa’ (wondrous acts of power) of the Lord of both of you will you both deny/declare to be false/dismiss/undermine?”.
Earlier aayaat
Attention was directed toward reflection on what He created.
A sober reminder of life’s end was set before this point.
Now, in this ayah
A direct warning is now in view.
We are placed under clear, focused scrutiny.
Our actions are to be measured.
Outcome follows deed.
From the provided translation
The address is in the dual form, maintained exactly as translated.
The translation reflects the range of denying:
The question presses the addressees to respond to the “wondrous acts of power” without dismissal.
This Ayah now is taking on a new flavour. In the previous Aayaat our attention was directed towards pondering on Allah’s creation and how life will cease to exist. Now we are facing the threatening promise of Allah that He will attend and turn His full attention towards us to hold us to account and recompense us for our actions.
The mood shifts from reflecting on creation and life’s end to a direct, weighty challenge.
Full divine attention is now directed at the addressees.
Being held to account is central to the ayah’s emphasis.
What one does is met with recompense.
The ayah challenges any attempt to deny, declare false, dismiss, or undermine the “Aalaa’.”
