By the Scripture that makes things clear,
3
We have made it a Quran in Arabic so that you (people) may understand.
4
It is truly exalted in the Source of Scripture kept with Us, and full of wisdom.
5
Should We ignore you and turn this revelation away from you because you are insolent people?
6
We have sent many a prophet to earlier people
7
and they mocked every one of them,
8
so We have destroyed mightier people than (the disbelievers of Mecca) and their example has gone down in history.
9
If you (Prophet) ask them, 'Who created the heavens and earth?' they are sure to say, 'They were created by the Almighty, the All Knowing.'
10
It is He who smoothed out the earth for you and traced out routes on it for you to find your way,
11
who sends water down from the sky in due measureWe resurrect dead land with it, and likewise you will be resurrected from the grave
12
who created every kind of thing, who gave you ships and animals to ride on
13
so that you may remember your Lord's grace when you are seated on them and say, 'Glory be to Him who has given us control over this; we could not have done it by ourselves.
14
Truly it is to our Lord that we are returning.'
15
Yet they assign some of His own servants to Him as offspring! Man is clearly ungrateful!
16
Has He taken daughters for Himself and favoured you with sons?
17
When one of them is given news of the birth of a daughter, such as he so readily ascribes to the Lord of Mercy, his face grows dark and he is filled with gloom-
18
'Someone who is brought up amongst trinkets, who cannot put together a clear argument?'
19
They consider the angels- God's servants- to be female. Did they witness their creation? Their claim will be put on record and they will be questioned about it.
20
They say, 'If the Lord of Mercy had willed it, we would not have worshipped them,' but they do not know that- they are only guessing-
21
or have We perhaps given them a book before this one, to which they hold fast?
22
No indeed! They say, 'We saw our fathers following this tradition; we are guided by their footsteps.'
23
When-ever We sent a messenger before you to warn a township, those corrupted by wealth said, in the same way, 'We saw our fathers following this tradition; we are only following in their footsteps.'
24
The messenger said, 'Even though I bring you a truer religion than what you saw your fathers following?' and they replied, 'But we do not believe the message you bring.'
25
We punished them: think about how those who rejected the Truth met their end.
26
Abraham said to his father and his people, 'I renounce what you worship.
27
I worship only Him who created me, and it is He who will guide me,'
28
and he bequeathed these words to his descendants so that they might return (to God).
29
I have let these people and their fathers enjoy long lives, and now I have given them the Truth and a messenger to make things clear-
30
yet when the Truth came to them, they said, 'This is sorcery. We do not believe in it,'
