أَم أَبرَموا أَمرًا فَإِنّا مُبرِمونَ

Did they devise a plan? We, too, are planning.

أَم يَحسَبونَ أَنّا لا نَسمَعُ سِرَّهُم وَنَجواهُم ۚ بَلىٰ وَرُسُلُنا لَدَيهِم يَكتُبونَ

Or do they think that We don’t hear their secrets and their private conversations? Indeed, Our messengers, with them, are recording.

قُل إِن كانَ لِلرَّحمـٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنا أَوَّلُ العابِدينَ

Say, “If the Merciful had a child, I would be the first to worship.”

سُبحانَ رَبِّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ رَبِّ العَرشِ عَمّا يَصِفونَ

Glory be to the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, far beyond what they attribute to Him.

فَذَرهُم يَخوضوا وَيَلعَبوا حَتّىٰ يُلاقوا يَومَهُمُ الَّذي يوعَدونَ

Let them chatter and play until they meet their promised Day.

وَتَبارَكَ الَّذي لَهُ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما وَعِندَهُ عِلمُ السّاعَةِ وَإِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ

Blessed is He who holds dominion over the heavens, the earth, and all that is between them. With Him is the knowledge of the Hour, and you will be returned to Him.

وَلا يَملِكُ الَّذينَ يَدعونَ مِن دونِهِ الشَّفاعَةَ إِلّا مَن شَهِدَ بِالحَقِّ وَهُم يَعلَمونَ

None of those they call upon besides Him has any power of intercession, except those who testify to the truth knowingly.

وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن خَلَقَهُم لَيَقولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنّىٰ يُؤفَكونَ

If you were to ask them, “Who created them?” they would reply, “God.” How, then, are they deluded?

وَقيلِهِ يا رَبِّ إِنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ قَومٌ لا يُؤمِنونَ

Regarding his statement, “O my Lord, these are people who don’t believe.”

فَاصفَح عَنهُم وَقُل سَلامٌ ۚ فَسَوفَ يَعلَمونَ

Pardon them, and say, “Peace.” Soon they will find out.
