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.
وَنُقَلِّبُ أَفئِدَتَهُم وَأَبصارَهُم كَما لَم يُؤمِنوا بِهِ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَنَذَرُهُم في طُغيانِهِم يَعمَهونَ
We will turn their hearts and eyes away, just as they refused to believe in it the first time, leaving them wandering aimlessly in their transgression.
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.
وَإِن تُطِع أَكثَرَ مَن فِي الأَرضِ يُضِلّوكَ عَن سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِن يَتَّبِعونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِن هُم إِلّا يَخرُصونَ
If you were to obey the majority of those on earth, they would lead you astray from God’s path. They follow only conjecture, and they are only guessing.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعلَمُ مَن يَضِلُّ عَن سَبيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعلَمُ بِالمُهتَدينَ
Your Lord is the most knowledgeable of those who deviate from His path, and He is fully aware of those who are guided.
فَكُلوا مِمّا ذُكِرَ اسمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيهِ إِن كُنتُم بِآياتِهِ مُؤمِنينَ
Eat of what God’s name was pronounced, if you are believers in His revelations.
