وَقالوا ما لَنا لا نَرىٰ رِجالًا كُنّا نَعُدُّهُم مِنَ الأَشرارِ

They will ask, “Why don’t we see those we considered evil?

أَتَّخَذناهُم سِخرِيًّا أَم زاغَت عَنهُمُ الأَبصارُ

Were we mistaken in mocking them, or did our eyes fail to recognize them?”

إِنَّ ذٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخاصُمُ أَهلِ النّارِ

This is the quarrel among the dwellers of the Fire.

قُل إِنَّما أَنا مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَما مِن إِلـٰهٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الواحِدُ القَهّارُ

Say, “I am only a warner, and there is no god except God, the Singular, the Prevailing.

رَبُّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُمَا العَزيزُ الغَفّارُ

The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and whatever is between them, the Mighty, the Forgiving.”

أَنتُم عَنهُ مُعرِضونَ

From which you are turning away.

ما كانَ لِيَ مِن عِلمٍ بِالمَلَإِ الأَعلىٰ إِذ يَختَصِمونَ

I have no knowledge of the Exalted Assembly when they argue.

إِن يوحىٰ إِلَيَّ إِلّا أَنَّما أَنا نَذيرٌ مُبينٌ

It has only been revealed to me that I am a clear warner.”

إِذ قالَ رَبُّكَ لِلمَلائِكَةِ إِنّي خالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِن طينٍ

When your Lord told the angels, “I am creating a human being from clay.

فَإِذا سَوَّيتُهُ وَنَفَختُ فيهِ مِن روحي فَقَعوا لَهُ ساجِدينَ

Once I have shaped him and breathed into him of My Spirit, prostrate before him.”
