أَم يَقولونَ افتَراهُ ۖ قُل فَأتوا بِسورَةٍ مِثلِهِ وَادعوا مَنِ استَطَعتُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ
Or do they say, “He made it up”? Say, “Then produce a chapter like it, and call upon anyone you can, other than God, if you are truthful.”
بَل كَذَّبوا بِما لَم يُحيطوا بِعِلمِهِ وَلَمّا يَأتِهِم تَأويلُهُ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِهِم ۖ فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الظّالِمينَ
They reject what they can’t comprehend, even before its interpretation reaches them. Likewise, those before them also rejected the truth. So, observe the fate of the wrongdoers.
وَمِنهُم مَن يُؤمِنُ بِهِ وَمِنهُم مَن لا يُؤمِنُ بِهِ ۚ وَرَبُّكَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُفسِدينَ
Among them are those who believe in it, and those who don’t. Your Lord knows best about the corruptors.
وَإِن كَذَّبوكَ فَقُل لي عَمَلي وَلَكُم عَمَلُكُم ۖ أَنتُم بَريئونَ مِمّا أَعمَلُ وَأَنا بَريءٌ مِمّا تَعمَلونَ
If they accuse you of lying, say, “For me are my deeds, and for you are yours. You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do.”
وَمِنهُم مَن يَستَمِعونَ إِلَيكَ ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُسمِعُ الصُّمَّ وَلَو كانوا لا يَعقِلونَ
Among them are those who listen to you. But can you make the deaf hear, even though they can’t comprehend?
وَمِنهُم مَن يَنظُرُ إِلَيكَ ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تَهدِي العُميَ وَلَو كانوا لا يُبصِرونَ
Among them are those who look at you. But can you guide the blind, even if they can’t see?
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَظلِمُ النّاسَ شَيئًا وَلـٰكِنَّ النّاسَ أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ
God doesn’t do any injustice to people, instead, people do injustice to themselves.
وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم كَأَن لَم يَلبَثوا إِلّا ساعَةً مِنَ النَّهارِ يَتَعارَفونَ بَينَهُم ۚ قَد خَسِرَ الَّذينَ كَذَّبوا بِلِقاءِ اللَّهِ وَما كانوا مُهتَدينَ
On the Day when He gathers them all, it will seem as if they had only lingered for an hour of a day, familiarizing themselves with each other. Those who denied the encounter with God and were not guided will be the ones to suffer loss.
وَإِمّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعضَ الَّذي نَعِدُهُم أَو نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَينا مَرجِعُهُم ثُمَّ اللَّهُ شَهيدٌ عَلىٰ ما يَفعَلونَ
Whether We show you some of what We’ve promised them, or We take your life before that, their ultimate return is to Us. Then, God is the Witness over what they do.
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَسولٌ ۖ فَإِذا جاءَ رَسولُهُم قُضِيَ بَينَهُم بِالقِسطِ وَهُم لا يُظلَمونَ
Every nation has a messenger. When their messenger arrives, judgment is passed upon them justly, and they won’t be wronged.
وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ
They inquire, “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?”
