And the enlightening scripture.
3
We have rendered it an Arabic Quran, that you may understand.
4
It is preserved with us in the original master, honorable and full of wisdom.
5
Should we just ignore the fact that you have transgressed the limits?
6
We have sent many a prophet to the previous generations.
7
Every time a prophet went to them, they ridiculed him.
8
Consequently, we annihilated people who were even more powerful than these. We thus set the examples from the previous communities.
9
If you asked them, Who created the heavens and the earth, they would say, The Almighty, the Omniscient has created them.
10
He is the One who made the earth habitable for you, and created for you roads therein, that you may follow the right way.
11
He is the One who sends down from the sky water, in exact measure, to revive dead lands therewith. Similarly, you will be resurrected.
12
He is the One who created all kinds, in pairs (male and female), and He created for you ships and livestock to ride.
13
As you rest on top of them, you shall appreciate such a blessing from your Lord, and say, Glory be to the One who subdued this for us. We could not have controlled them by ourselves.
14
We ultimately return to our Lord.
15
They even assigned for Him a share from His own creation! Surely, the human being is profoundly unappreciative.
16
Has He chosen from among His creations daughters for Himself, while blessing you with sons?
17
When one of them is given news (of a daughter) as they claimed for the Most Gracious, his face is darkened with misery and anger!
18
(They say,) What is good about an offspring that is brought up to be beautiful, and cannot help in war?
19
They claimed that the angels, who are servants of the Most Gracious, are females! Have they witnessed their creation? Their claims are recorded, and they will be asked.
20
They even said, If the Most Gracious willed, we would not have worshiped them. They have no basis for such a claim; they only conjecture.
21
Have we given them a book before this, and they are upholding it?
22
The fact is: they said, We found our parents carrying on certain practices, and we are following in their footsteps.
23
Invariably, when we sent a warner to any community, the leaders of that community would say, We found our parents following certain practices, and we will continue in their footsteps.
24
(The messenger) would say, What if I brought to you better guidance than what you inherited from your parents? They would say, We are disbelievers in the message you brought.
25
Consequently, we requited them. Note the consequences for the rejectors.
26
Abraham said to his father and his people, I disown what you worship.
27
Only the One who initiated me can guide me.
28
This example (of Abraham) was rendered an everlasting lesson for subsequent generations; perhaps they redeem their souls.
29
Indeed, I have given these people and their ancestors sufficient chances, then the truth came to them, and a clarifying messenger.
30
When the truth came to them, they said, This is magic, and we are disbelievers therein.
