وَما أَنتَ إِلّا بَشَرٌ مِثلُنا وَإِن نَظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الكاذِبينَ
You are but a man like us, and we think you are a liar.
فَأَسقِط عَلَينا كِسَفًا مِنَ السَّماءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّادِقينَ
Bring down upon us chunks of the sky, if you are truthful.”
قالَ رَبّي أَعلَمُ بِما تَعمَلونَ
He responded, “My Lord is more aware of your actions.”
فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَخَذَهُم عَذابُ يَومِ الظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
They disbelieved him, so the punishment of the Day of the Shadow befell them: a day of immense suffering.
إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ
In that is a sign, yet most of them refuse to believe.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ
Your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزيلُ رَبِّ العالَمينَ
This is a revelation from the Lord of the universes.
نَزَلَ بِهِ الرّوحُ الأَمينُ
The Trustworthy Spirit came down with it.
عَلىٰ قَلبِكَ لِتَكونَ مِنَ المُنذِرينَ
Upon your heart, so you may be among the warners.
بِلِسانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبينٍ
In clear Arabic language.
وَإِنَّهُ لَفي زُبُرِ الأَوَّلينَ
And it was foretold in the scriptures of old.
