وَيَومَ يَحشُرُهُم جَميعًا ثُمَّ يَقولُ لِلمَلائِكَةِ أَهـٰؤُلاءِ إِيّاكُم كانوا يَعبُدونَ

On the Day He will gather them all together, then say to the angels, “Was it you these people used to worship?”

قالوا سُبحانَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنا مِن دونِهِم ۖ بَل كانوا يَعبُدونَ الجِنَّ ۖ أَكثَرُهُم بِهِم مُؤمِنونَ

They will respond, “Glory to You! Our loyalty is to You, not to them. Rather, they were worshiping the jinn; most of them were believers in them.”

فَاليَومَ لا يَملِكُ بَعضُكُم لِبَعضٍ نَفعًا وَلا ضَرًّا وَنَقولُ لِلَّذينَ ظَلَموا ذوقوا عَذابَ النّارِ الَّتي كُنتُم بِها تُكَذِّبونَ

“Today, you have no power to benefit or harm one another.” And We will say to those who acted unjustly, “Taste the punishment of the Fire, which you used to deny.”

وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ قالوا ما هـٰذا إِلّا رَجُلٌ يُريدُ أَن يَصُدَّكُم عَمّا كانَ يَعبُدُ آباؤُكُم وَقالوا ما هـٰذا إِلّا إِفكٌ مُفتَرًى ۚ وَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِلحَقِّ لَمّا جاءَهُم إِن هـٰذا إِلّا سِحرٌ مُبينٌ

When Our clear verses are recited to them, they say, “This is nothing but a man who wants to deviate you from what your fathers worshiped.” And they say, “This is nothing but fabricated fiction.” When truth reaches those who disbelieve, they dismiss it as nothing but an obvious sorcery.

وَما آتَيناهُم مِن كُتُبٍ يَدرُسونَها ۖ وَما أَرسَلنا إِلَيهِم قَبلَكَ مِن نَذيرٍ

We didn’t give them any scriptures to study, nor did We send any warner to them before you.

قُل إِنَّما أَعِظُكُم بِواحِدَةٍ ۖ أَن تَقوموا لِلَّهِ مَثنىٰ وَفُرادىٰ ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّروا ۚ ما بِصاحِبِكُم مِن جِنَّةٍ ۚ إِن هُوَ إِلّا نَذيرٌ لَكُم بَينَ يَدَي عَذابٍ شَديدٍ

Say, “I only advise you on one matter: that you stand for God in pairs or individually, and then reflect. There is no insanity in your friend; he is only a warner to you before the onset of a severe punishment.”

قُل ما سَأَلتُكُم مِن أَجرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُم ۖ إِن أَجرِيَ إِلّا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ شَهيدٌ

Say, “Whatever payment I have asked of you; it is yours. My reward is from God alone, who bears witness to all things.”

قُل إِنَّ رَبّي يَقذِفُ بِالحَقِّ عَلّامُ الغُيوبِ

Say, “My Lord casts the truth, the Knower of the unseen.”

قُل جاءَ الحَقُّ وَما يُبدِئُ الباطِلُ وَما يُعيدُ

Say, “The truth has come, while falsehood can neither originate nor repeat.”

قُل إِن ضَلَلتُ فَإِنَّما أَضِلُّ عَلىٰ نَفسي ۖ وَإِنِ اهتَدَيتُ فَبِما يوحي إِلَيَّ رَبّي ۚ إِنَّهُ سَميعٌ قَريبٌ

Say, “If I have strayed, I stray only to my detriment. And if I’m guided, it’s by what my Lord reveals to me. He is All-Hearing and Ever Near.”
