36:70

لِّيُنذِرَ مَن كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

liyundhira man kāna ḥayyan wayaḥiqqa l-qawlu ʿalā l-kāfirīna

To warn whoever is alive and justify the word [i.e., decree] against the disbelievers.

— Saheeh International

This is a revelation, an illuminating Quran to warn anyone who is truly alive, so that God’s verdict may be passed against the disbelievers.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

That he or it (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم or the Qur’ân) may give warning to him who is living (a healthy minded - the believer), and that Word (charge) may be justified against the disbelievers (dead, as they reject the warnings).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
