أَلَهُم أَرجُلٌ يَمشونَ بِها ۖ أَم لَهُم أَيدٍ يَبطِشونَ بِها ۖ أَم لَهُم أَعيُنٌ يُبصِرونَ بِها ۖ أَم لَهُم آذانٌ يَسمَعونَ بِها ۗ قُلِ ادعوا شُرَكاءَكُم ثُمَّ كيدونِ فَلا تُنظِرونِ

Do they have legs with which they walk? Or hands with which they strike? Or eyes with which they see? Or ears with which they hear? Say, “Call upon your ‘associates’, then scheme against me, and give me no respite.”

إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذي نَزَّلَ الكِتابَ ۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّالِحينَ

“My protector is God, who revealed the Book, and He protects the righteous.”

وَالَّذينَ تَدعونَ مِن دونِهِ لا يَستَطيعونَ نَصرَكُم وَلا أَنفُسَهُم يَنصُرونَ

Those you call upon besides Him can’t help you, nor can they help themselves.

وَإِن تَدعوهُم إِلَى الهُدىٰ لا يَسمَعوا ۖ وَتَراهُم يَنظُرونَ إِلَيكَ وَهُم لا يُبصِرونَ

And if you invite them for guidance, they can’t hear. You may see them looking towards you, but they don’t see.

خُذِ العَفوَ وَأمُر بِالعُرفِ وَأَعرِض عَنِ الجاهِلينَ

Accept forgiveness, commend what’s right, and turn away from the ignorant.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ اتَّقَوا إِذا مَسَّهُم طائِفٌ مِنَ الشَّيطانِ تَذَكَّروا فَإِذا هُم مُبصِرونَ

Those who are righteous, when an impulse from Satan strikes them, they remind themselves, and immediately see clearly.

وَإِخوانُهُم يَمُدّونَهُم فِي الغَيِّ ثُمَّ لا يُقصِرونَ

And their brethren prolong them in error, and then cease not.

وَإِذا لَم تَأتِهِم بِآيَةٍ قالوا لَولَا اجتَبَيتَها ۚ قُل إِنَّما أَتَّبِعُ ما يوحىٰ إِلَيَّ مِن رَبّي ۚ هـٰذا بَصائِرُ مِن رَبِّكُم وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

When you don’t bring them a verse, they say, “Why can’t you make one up?” Say, “I only follow what’s revealed to me by my Lord. These are insights from your Lord, and guidance and mercy for people who believe.”

وَإِذا قُرِئَ القُرآنُ فَاستَمِعوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتوا لَعَلَّكُم تُرحَمونَ

When the Quran is read, then listen to it attentively, so you may receive mercy.

وَاذكُر رَبَّكَ في نَفسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخيفَةً وَدونَ الجَهرِ مِنَ القَولِ بِالغُدُوِّ وَالآصالِ وَلا تَكُن مِنَ الغافِلينَ

And remember your Lord within yourself, with humility and reverence, and without raising your voice, in the morning and the evening, and don’t be among the unmindful.
