1
Fast approaching is the reckoning for the people, but they are oblivious, averse.
2
When a proof comes to them from their Lord, that is new, they listen to it heedlessly.
3
Their minds are heedless. And the transgressors confer secretly: Is he not just a human being like you? Would you accept the magic that is presented to you?
4
He said, My Lord knows every thought in the heaven and the earth. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
5
They even said, Hallucinations, He made it up, and, He is a poet. Let him show us a miracle like those of the previous messengers.
6
We never annihilated a believing community in the past. Are these people believers?
7
We did not send before you except men whom we inspired. Ask those who know the scripture, if you do not know.
8
We did not give them bodies that did not eat, nor were they immortal.
9
We fulfilled our promise to them; we saved them together with whomever we willed, and annihilated the transgressors.
10
We have sent down to you a scripture containing your message. Do you not understand?
11
Many a community we terminated because of their transgression, and we substituted other people in their place.
12
When our requital came to pass, they started to run.
13
Do not run, and come back to your luxuries and your mansions, for you must be held accountable.
14
They said, Woe to us. We were really wicked.
15
This continued to be their proclamation, until we completely wiped them out.
16
We did not create the heavens and the earth, and everything between them just for amusement.
17
If we needed amusement, we could have initiated it without any of this, if that is what we wanted to do.
18
Instead, it is our plan to support the truth against falsehood, in order to defeat it. Woe to you for the utterances you utter.
19
To Him belongs everyone in the heavens and the earth, and those at Him are never too arrogant to worship Him, nor do they ever waver.
20
They glorify night and day, without ever tiring.
21
Have they found gods on earth who can create?
22
If there were in them (the heavens and the earth) other gods beside GOD, there would have been chaos. Glory be to GOD; the Lord with absolute authority. He is high above their claims.
23
He is never to be asked about anything He does, while all others are questioned.
24
Have they found other gods beside Him? Say, Show me your proof. This is the message to my generation, consummating all previous messages. Indeed, most of them do not recognize the truth; this is why they are so hostile.
25
We did not send any messenger before you except with the inspiration: There is no god except Me; you shall worship Me alone.
26
Yet, they said, The Most Gracious has begotten a son! Glory be to Him. All (messengers) are (His) honored servants.
27
They never speak on their own, and they strictly follow His commands.
28
He knows their future and their past. They do not intercede, except for those already accepted by Him, and they are worried about their own necks.
29
If any of them claims to be a god beside Him, we requite him with Hell; we thus requite the wicked.
30
Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?
