2
I call to witness the lucent Book,
3
That We made it a distinctly lucid Qur'an that you may understand.
4
It is inscribed in the original Book (of Books) with Us, sublime, dispenser of (all) laws.
5
Should We have withdrawn the Reminder from you as you are a people who exceed the bounds?
6
Many a prophet had We sent to the earlier communities,
7
But never did a prophet come at whom they did not scoff.
8
So We destroyed far more powerful (nations) than they. The example of earlier people is there.
9
If you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they will answer: "The Mighty and All-knowing created them,"
10
He who made the earth a bed for you, and laid out tracks upon it so that you may find the way;
11
Who sent down water in due measure from the sky, then quickened a region that was dead -- So shall We bring you forth --
12
He who created pairs of everything, and fashioned for you boats and beasts on which you ride,
13
So that when you sit astride of them and think of the bounties of your Lord, you may say: "All glory to Him who subjugated these for us. We were incapable of doing so.
14
Surely we have to go back to our Lord."
15
Yet they make some of His creatures His offspring! Man is surely most ungrateful.
16
Or has He taken from those He has created daughters for Himself, and assigned sons to you?
17
Yet when news of (a daughter) they had reserved for Ar-Rahman comes to one of them, his face is blackened (with shame), and he grieves in silence inwardly.
18
Can one who has been raised on ornaments and cannot present her case coolly in a dispute (be associated with God?)
19
Yet they have made the angels, who are creatures of Ar-Rahman, females. Did they witness their creation? We shall record their testimony, and they will be interrogated.
20
Yet they say: "If Ar-Rahman had so pleased we would not have worshipped them." They have no knowledge of it in the least. They only make up lies.
21
Did We give them a Scripture before this to which they are holding fast?
22
In fact they say: "We found our fathers following a certain way, and are guided by their footprints."
23
Thus, We never sent an admonisher to a settlement before you but the decadent among them said. "We found our fathers following this way, and we are walking in their footsteps."
24
Even if I bring you a better guidance, he rejoined, "than the one you found your fathers on?" Still they said: "We do not believe in what you have brought."
25
Then We punished them. So look at the fate of those who denied.
26
When Abraham said to his father and his people: "I am rid of what you worship
27
Other than Him who created me. He will show me the right way."
28
This is the legacy he left to his descendants so that they may turn (to God).
29
In fact, I allowed them and their fathers to enjoy this life till the truth, and the apostle preaching it lucidly, came to them.
30
Yet when the truth had come to them, they said: "This is sorcery. We shall never believe in it."
