أَو تَكونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِن نَخيلٍ وَعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الأَنهارَ خِلالَها تَفجيرًا

Or unless you own a garden of date palms and grapevines and you make rivers burst forth within it.

أَو تُسقِطَ السَّماءَ كَما زَعَمتَ عَلَينا كِسَفًا أَو تَأتِيَ بِاللَّهِ وَالمَلائِكَةِ قَبيلًا

Or unless you cause the sky to fall upon us in pieces, as you claim, or bring God and the angels before us.

أَو يَكونَ لَكَ بَيتٌ مِن زُخرُفٍ أَو تَرقىٰ فِي السَّماءِ وَلَن نُؤمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتّىٰ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَينا كِتابًا نَقرَؤُهُ ۗ قُل سُبحانَ رَبّي هَل كُنتُ إِلّا بَشَرًا رَسولًا

Or unless you have a house of gold. Or unless you ascend into the sky. Even then, we won’t believe in your ascension, until you bring down a book for us to read.” Say, “Glory be to my Lord! Am I anything more than a human messenger?”

وَما مَنَعَ النّاسَ أَن يُؤمِنوا إِذ جاءَهُمُ الهُدىٰ إِلّا أَن قالوا أَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ بَشَرًا رَسولًا

What prevents people from believing when guidance has come to them, is their saying, “God sent a human as a messenger?”

قُل لَو كانَ فِي الأَرضِ مَلائِكَةٌ يَمشونَ مُطمَئِنّينَ لَنَزَّلنا عَلَيهِم مِنَ السَّماءِ مَلَكًا رَسولًا

Say, “If there were angels on earth walking peacefully, We’d certainly send an angel from heaven as a messenger to them.”

وَمَن يَهدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ المُهتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضلِل فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُم أَولِياءَ مِن دونِهِ ۖ وَنَحشُرُهُم يَومَ القِيامَةِ عَلىٰ وُجوهِهِم عُميًا وَبُكمًا وَصُمًّا ۖ مَأواهُم جَهَنَّمُ ۖ كُلَّما خَبَت زِدناهُم سَعيرًا

Whomever God guides is guided, and whomever He misguides, you will find no helpers for him other than Him. We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection, on their faces—blind, dumb and deaf. Their destination is Hell; whenever it subsides, We will intensify the flames for them.

ذٰلِكَ جَزاؤُهُم بِأَنَّهُم كَفَروا بِآياتِنا وَقالوا أَإِذا كُنّا عِظامًا وَرُفاتًا أَإِنّا لَمَبعوثونَ خَلقًا جَديدًا

That is their retribution for rejecting Our revelations and questioning, “When we are reduced to bones and fragments, will we truly be resurrected as a new creation?”

أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ قادِرٌ عَلىٰ أَن يَخلُقَ مِثلَهُم وَجَعَلَ لَهُم أَجَلًا لا رَيبَ فيهِ فَأَبَى الظّالِمونَ إِلّا كُفورًا

Don’t they realize that God, who created the heavens and the earth, is able to create their likes? He appointed for them a term, of which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse anything except disbelief.

قُل لَو أَنتُم تَملِكونَ خَزائِنَ رَحمَةِ رَبّي إِذًا لَأَمسَكتُم خَشيَةَ الإِنفاقِ ۚ وَكانَ الإِنسانُ قَتورًا

Say, “If you possessed the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending.” Man is ever reluctant to give.

وَلَقَد آتَينا موسىٰ تِسعَ آياتٍ بَيِّناتٍ ۖ فَاسأَل بَني إِسرائيلَ إِذ جاءَهُم فَقالَ لَهُ فِرعَونُ إِنّي لَأَظُنُّكَ يا موسىٰ مَسحورًا

We gave Moses nine clear signs. Ask the Children of Israel, when he came to them, Pharaoh said to him, “O Moses, I suspect you are under a spell.”
