سَيَقولونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُل فَأَنّىٰ تُسحَرونَ

They will say, “God.” Say, “Then how are you bewitched?”

بَل أَتَيناهُم بِالحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ

We brought them the truth, yet they persist in denial.

مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَما كانَ مَعَهُ مِن إِلـٰهٍ ۚ إِذًا لَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلـٰهٍ بِما خَلَقَ وَلَعَلا بَعضُهُم عَلىٰ بَعضٍ ۚ سُبحانَ اللَّهِ عَمّا يَصِفونَ

God has never begotten a child, nor is there any god besides Him. If there were, each god would have claimed what it created, and some would’ve sought supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe.

عالِمِ الغَيبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ فَتَعالىٰ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, far above having a partner.

قُل رَبِّ إِمّا تُرِيَنّي ما يوعَدونَ

Say, “My Lord! If You should show me what they’ve been promised.

وَإِنّا عَلىٰ أَن نُرِيَكَ ما نَعِدُهُم لَقادِرونَ

We can show you what We’ve promised them.

ادفَع بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ ۚ نَحنُ أَعلَمُ بِما يَصِفونَ

Repel evil with what’s better. We know best what they describe.

وَقُل رَبِّ أَعوذُ بِكَ مِن هَمَزاتِ الشَّياطينِ

And say, “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whispers of the devils.

وَأَعوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَن يَحضُرونِ

And I seek Your protection, my Lord, lest they become present.”

حَتّىٰ إِذا جاءَ أَحَدَهُمُ المَوتُ قالَ رَبِّ ارجِعونِ

Until, when death comes to one of them, he pleads, “My Lord, let me return.
