We have made it an Arabic Quran so that you may exercise your reason,
4
and it is sublime and wise with Us in the Mother Book.
5
Shall We keep back the Reminder from you and disregard you because you are an unrestrained lot?
6
How many a prophet We have sent to the former peoples!
7
There did not come to them any prophet but that they used to deride him.
8
So We destroyed those who were stronger than these, and the example of the former peoples has already come to pass.
9
If you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will surely say, ‘The All-mighty, the All-knowing created them.’
10
He, who made the earth a cradle for you, and made for you in it ways so that you may be guided [to your destinations],
11
and who sent down water from the sky in a measured manner, and We revived with it a dead country. Likewise, you shall be raised [from the dead].
12
He created all the kinds and made for you the ships and the cattle such which you ride,
13
that you may sit on their backs, then remember the blessing of your Lord when you are settled on them, and say, ‘Immaculate is He who has disposed this for us, and we [by ourselves] were no match for it.
14
Indeed we shall return to our Lord.’
15
They ascribe to Him offspring from among His servants! Man is indeed a manifest ingrate.
16
Did He adopt daughters from what He creates while He preferred you with sons?
17
When one of them is brought the news of what he ascribes to the All-beneficent, his face becomes darkened and he chokes with suppressed rage, [and says]
18
‘What! One who is brought up amid ornaments and is inconspicuous in contests?’
19
They have made the angels—who are servants of the All-beneficent—females. Were they witness to their creation? Their testimony will be written down and they shall be questioned.
20
They say, ‘Had the All-beneficent wished, we would not have worshipped them.’ They do not have any knowledge of that, and they do nothing but surmise.
21
Did We give them a Book before this, so that they are holding fast to it?
22
No, they said, ‘We found our fathers following a creed, and we are indeed guided in their footsteps.’
23
So it has been that We did not send any warner to a town before you, without its affluent ones saying, ‘We found our fathers following a creed and we are indeed following in their footsteps.’
24
He would say, ‘What! Even if I bring you a better guidance than what you found your fathers following?!’ They would say, ‘We indeed disbelieve in what you are sent with.’
25
Thereupon We took vengeance on them; so observe how was the fate of the deniers.
26
When Abraham said to his father and his people, ‘I repudiate what you worship,
27
excepting Him who originated me; indeed He will guide me.’
28
He made it a lasting word among his posterity so that they may come back [to the right path].
29
Indeed, I provided for these and their fathers until the truth and a manifest apostle came to them.
30
But when the truth came to them, they said, ‘This is magic, and we indeed disbelieve in it.’
