مَثَلُ الَّذينَ اتَّخَذوا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ أَولِياءَ كَمَثَلِ العَنكَبوتِ اتَّخَذَت بَيتًا ۖ وَإِنَّ أَوهَنَ البُيوتِ لَبَيتُ العَنكَبوتِ ۖ لَو كانوا يَعلَمونَ
The example of those who take allies other than God is like that of the spider who builds a house. Yet, the weakest of houses is the house of the spider—if they only knew.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعلَمُ ما يَدعونَ مِن دونِهِ مِن شَيءٍ ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ الحَكيمُ
God knows whatever they invoke besides Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
وَتِلكَ الأَمثالُ نَضرِبُها لِلنّاسِ ۖ وَما يَعقِلُها إِلَّا العالِمونَ
We present such parables to people, but only those with knowledge can comprehend them.
خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ بِالحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِلمُؤمِنينَ
God created the heavens and the earth with truth. In this, there is a sign for believers.
اتلُ ما أوحِيَ إِلَيكَ مِنَ الكِتابِ وَأَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ ۖ إِنَّ الصَّلاةَ تَنهىٰ عَنِ الفَحشاءِ وَالمُنكَرِ ۗ وَلَذِكرُ اللَّهِ أَكبَرُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعلَمُ ما تَصنَعونَ
Communicate what has been revealed to you from the Scripture, and establish prayer. Prayer repels immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of God is greater. God is fully aware of what you do.
وَلا تُجادِلوا أَهلَ الكِتابِ إِلّا بِالَّتي هِيَ أَحسَنُ إِلَّا الَّذينَ ظَلَموا مِنهُم ۖ وَقولوا آمَنّا بِالَّذي أُنزِلَ إِلَينا وَأُنزِلَ إِلَيكُم وَإِلـٰهُنا وَإِلـٰهُكُم واحِدٌ وَنَحنُ لَهُ مُسلِمونَ
Debate with the People of the Scripture only in the kindest manner, except with those who do wrong among them. And say, “We believe in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to you. Our God and your God is One, and to Him we submit.”
وَكَذٰلِكَ أَنزَلنا إِلَيكَ الكِتابَ ۚ فَالَّذينَ آتَيناهُمُ الكِتابَ يُؤمِنونَ بِهِ ۖ وَمِن هـٰؤُلاءِ مَن يُؤمِنُ بِهِ ۚ وَما يَجحَدُ بِآياتِنا إِلَّا الكافِرونَ
Thus, We revealed the Scripture to you. Those to whom We gave the Scripture, as well as some of these, believe in it. None renounce our verses except the unbelievers.
وَما كُنتَ تَتلو مِن قَبلِهِ مِن كِتابٍ وَلا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمينِكَ ۖ إِذًا لَارتابَ المُبطِلونَ
You didn’t recite any scripture before this or write one with your right hand. If you had, the fabricators of falsehood would have doubted.
بَل هُوَ آياتٌ بَيِّناتٌ في صُدورِ الَّذينَ أوتُوا العِلمَ ۚ وَما يَجحَدُ بِآياتِنا إِلَّا الظّالِمونَ
Rather, these are clear signs in the hearts of those endowed with knowledge. None reject Our verses except the unjust.
وَقالوا لَولا أُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ آياتٌ مِن رَبِّهِ ۖ قُل إِنَّمَا الآياتُ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّما أَنا نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ
They question, “Why are no miracles sent down to him from his Lord?” Respond, “The miracles are solely with God, and I am simply a plain warner.”
أَوَلَم يَكفِهِم أَنّا أَنزَلنا عَلَيكَ الكِتابَ يُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَرَحمَةً وَذِكرىٰ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ
Isn’t it sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Scripture, which is conveyed to them? In this are mercy and reminders for people who believe.
