وَكَذٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الآياتِ وَلِيَقولوا دَرَستَ وَلِنُبَيِّنَهُ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ

Thus, We vary the verses, so that they may say, “You have studied,” and that We may make clear for a people who know.

اتَّبِع ما أوحِيَ إِلَيكَ مِن رَبِّكَ ۖ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ وَأَعرِض عَنِ المُشرِكينَ

Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord, for there is no god but Him, and turn away from the associators.

وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ ما أَشرَكوا ۗ وَما جَعَلناكَ عَلَيهِم حَفيظًا ۖ وَما أَنتَ عَلَيهِم بِوَكيلٍ

If God had willed, they wouldn’t have associated. We didn’t make you a guardian over them, nor are you a manager over them.

وَلا تَسُبُّوا الَّذينَ يَدعونَ مِن دونِ اللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا اللَّهَ عَدوًا بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ زَيَّنّا لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ عَمَلَهُم ثُمَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّهِم مَرجِعُهُم فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

Don’t insult those they invoke besides God, lest they insult God out of hostility and ignorance. We made each community’s deeds seem appealing to them. Eventually, they will return to their Lord, who will inform them of everything they did.

وَأَقسَموا بِاللَّهِ جَهدَ أَيمانِهِم لَئِن جاءَتهُم آيَةٌ لَيُؤمِنُنَّ بِها ۚ قُل إِنَّمَا الآياتُ عِندَ اللَّهِ ۖ وَما يُشعِرُكُم أَنَّها إِذا جاءَت لا يُؤمِنونَ

They swear their strongest oaths by God that if a miracle came to them, they would believe in it. Say, “The signs are only with God.” And how could you tell, when if it did come, they still wouldn’t believe.

وَلَو أَنَّنا نَزَّلنا إِلَيهِمُ المَلائِكَةَ وَكَلَّمَهُمُ المَوتىٰ وَحَشَرنا عَلَيهِم كُلَّ شَيءٍ قُبُلًا ما كانوا لِيُؤمِنوا إِلّا أَن يَشاءَ اللَّهُ وَلـٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم يَجهَلونَ

Even if We sent down the angels to them, made the dead speak to them, and gathered all things before them, they would still not believe, unless God wills it. But most of them don’t know.

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلنا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا شَياطينَ الإِنسِ وَالجِنِّ يوحي بَعضُهُم إِلىٰ بَعضٍ زُخرُفَ القَولِ غُرورًا ۚ وَلَو شاءَ رَبُّكَ ما فَعَلوهُ ۖ فَذَرهُم وَما يَفتَرونَ

Similarly, We’ve assigned enemies for every prophet—human and jinn devils—who inspire each other with embellished, deceitful speech. If your Lord had willed, they wouldn’t have done it. So, leave them and their fabrication.

وَلِتَصغىٰ إِلَيهِ أَفئِدَةُ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ وَلِيَرضَوهُ وَلِيَقتَرِفوا ما هُم مُقتَرِفونَ

This allows the hearts of those who don’t believe in the Hereafter to incline towards it, find satisfaction in it, and persist in their sinful pursuits.

أَفَغَيرَ اللَّهِ أَبتَغي حَكَمًا وَهُوَ الَّذي أَنزَلَ إِلَيكُمُ الكِتابَ مُفَصَّلًا ۚ وَالَّذينَ آتَيناهُمُ الكِتابَ يَعلَمونَ أَنَّهُ مُنَزَّلٌ مِن رَبِّكَ بِالحَقِّ ۖ فَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُمتَرينَ

“Should I seek a judge other than God, when it is He who revealed the Scripture to you in detail?” Those to whom We gave the Scripture recognize it as the truth from your Lord, so don’t be of those who doubt.

وَتَمَّت كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدقًا وَعَدلًا ۚ لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ

The Word of your Lord is perfected in its truth and justice. None can alter His words. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
