the day when the earth shall split open for them as they hasten forth towards the caller, that mustering is easy for Us.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

The day the earth is split open for [disentombing] them, [they will come out] hastening. That mustering is easy for Us [to carry out].Ali Quli Qarai

On the Day the earth breaks away from them [and they emerge] rapidly; that is a gathering easy for Us.Saheeh International

نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِجَبَّارٍۢ ۖ فَذَكِّرْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ ۝٤٥

We know better what they say, and We will accordingly deal with them; O Muḥammad, remember that you are not a tyrant over them, forcing them to accept Islam. Now that they don’t believe, then just remind by the Qur’ān the one who fears and heeds My warning.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

We know well what they say, and you are not there to compel them. So admonish by the Quran those who fear My threat.Ali Quli Qarai

We are most knowing of what they say, and you are not over them a tyrant. But remind by the Qur’ān whoever fears My threat.Saheeh International
