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.”

وَلَو تَرىٰ إِذ فَزِعوا فَلا فَوتَ وَأُخِذوا مِن مَكانٍ قَريبٍ

If only you could see, when they will be frightened, with no escape, and they are seized from a place nearby.

وَقالوا آمَنّا بِهِ وَأَنّىٰ لَهُمُ التَّناوُشُ مِن مَكانٍ بَعيدٍ

They will say, “We have believed in it.” But how can they attain it from a faraway place?

وَحيلَ بَينَهُم وَبَينَ ما يَشتَهونَ كَما فُعِلَ بِأَشياعِهِم مِن قَبلُ ۚ إِنَّهُم كانوا في شَكٍّ مُريبٍ

A barrier was placed between them and what they desire, just as was done with their past counterparts. They were in disquieting doubt.
