فَذَرني وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهـٰذَا الحَديثِ ۖ سَنَستَدرِجُهُم مِن حَيثُ لا يَعلَمونَ

So leave Me to those who deny this message. We will progressively lead them from where they don’t perceive.

وَأُملي لَهُم ۚ إِنَّ كَيدي مَتينٌ

And I will give them time. My plan is firm.

أَم تَسأَلُهُم أَجرًا فَهُم مِن مَغرَمٍ مُثقَلونَ

Or are you asking them for a fee, therefore they are burdened with debts?

أَم عِندَهُمُ الغَيبُ فَهُم يَكتُبونَ

Or do they have knowledge of the unseen, so they write it down?

فَاصبِر لِحُكمِ رَبِّكَ وَلا تَكُن كَصاحِبِ الحوتِ إِذ نادىٰ وَهُوَ مَكظومٌ

Exercise patience for your Lord’s decree, and don’t be like the Fellow of the Whale, who called out in his affliction.

فَاجتَباهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصّالِحينَ

But his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

وَإِن يَكادُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَيُزلِقونَكَ بِأَبصارِهِم لَمّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكرَ وَيَقولونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجنونٌ

Upon hearing the message, the unbelievers nearly pierce you with their glances and say, “He is surely crazy!”

وَما هُوَ إِلّا ذِكرٌ لِلعالَمينَ

But it is nothing but a reminder to the world.
