وَلَو نَزَّلنا عَلَيكَ كِتابًا في قِرطاسٍ فَلَمَسوهُ بِأَيديهِم لَقالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا إِن هـٰذا إِلّا سِحرٌ مُبينٌ
Even if We had revealed to them a scripture inscribed on paper, and they had touched it with their own hands, those who disbelieve would say, “This is nothing but clear magic”.
وَقالوا لَولا أُنزِلَ عَلَيهِ مَلَكٌ ۖ وَلَو أَنزَلنا مَلَكًا لَقُضِيَ الأَمرُ ثُمَّ لا يُنظَرونَ
They even ask, “Why has not an angel been sent down to him?” If we had sent down an angel, the matter would’ve been determined, and they would’ve been given no respite.
وَلَو جَعَلناهُ مَلَكًا لَجَعَلناهُ رَجُلًا وَلَلَبَسنا عَلَيهِم ما يَلبِسونَ
And even if We had made him an angel, We would’ve made him in the form of a man, further confusing them.
وَلَقَدِ استُهزِئَ بِرُسُلٍ مِن قَبلِكَ فَحاقَ بِالَّذينَ سَخِروا مِنهُم ما كانوا بِهِ يَستَهزِئونَ
Messengers before you were also ridiculed, but those who mocked were surrounded by what they used to ridicule.
قُل سيروا فِي الأَرضِ ثُمَّ انظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ المُكَذِّبينَ
Say, “Travel the earth and observe the fate of the deniers.”
قُل لِمَن ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۖ قُل لِلَّهِ ۚ كَتَبَ عَلىٰ نَفسِهِ الرَّحمَةَ ۚ لَيَجمَعَنَّكُم إِلىٰ يَومِ القِيامَةِ لا رَيبَ فيهِ ۚ الَّذينَ خَسِروا أَنفُسَهُم فَهُم لا يُؤمِنونَ
Say, “To whom belongs all that’s in the heavens and the earth?” Say, “To God.” He made mercy incumbent upon Himself. He will gather you on Resurrection Day, which is beyond doubt. Those who lost their souls won’t believe.
وَلَهُ ما سَكَنَ فِي اللَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّميعُ العَليمُ
To Him belongs whatever rests in the night and the day. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
قُل أَغَيرَ اللَّهِ أَتَّخِذُ وَلِيًّا فاطِرِ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَهُوَ يُطعِمُ وَلا يُطعَمُ ۗ قُل إِنّي أُمِرتُ أَن أَكونَ أَوَّلَ مَن أَسلَمَ ۖ وَلا تَكونَنَّ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ
Say, “Should I take a protector other than God, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, who feeds and is not fed?” Say, “I am instructed to be the first who submits.” And don’t be among the polytheists.
قُل إِنّي أَخافُ إِن عَصَيتُ رَبّي عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ
Say, “I fear the punishment of a tremendous Day if I were to disobey my Lord.”
مَن يُصرَف عَنهُ يَومَئِذٍ فَقَد رَحِمَهُ ۚ وَذٰلِكَ الفَوزُ المُبينُ
Whoever is spared from it on that Day, He will indeed have shown mercy to him; and that’s the clear success.
وَإِن يَمسَسكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كاشِفَ لَهُ إِلّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يَمسَسكَ بِخَيرٍ فَهُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ
If God touches you with adversity, no one can remove it but Him. And if He touches you with good, He is capable of everything.
