1
(I)Men turn aside through indifference even though their reckoning approaches.
2
No fresh reminder ever comes to them from their Lord except they listen to it as they play away,
3
their hearts distracted. Those who do wrong consult together privately; "Isn't not this (man) just a human being like yourselves? Will you succumb to magic while you can see it happening?"
4
SAY: "My Lord knows whatever is spoken in Heaven and Earth; He is Alert, Aware."
5
Rather, they say, "it's a jumble of dreams! In fact, he has made it all up! Indeed, he's a poet. Let him bring us a sign such as the first men were sent with."
6
No town that ever believed before have We wiped out. Will they believe?
7
Before you We have sent only men whom We inspired. Ask people with (long) memories if you do not know it already.
8
We did not grant them bodies which did not eat food, nor were they immortal.
9
Then We confirmed the Promise for them, and saved them as well as anyone We wished to, and wiped out those who were dissipated.
10
We have sent down a Book to you which contains your Reminder. Will you not use your reason?
11
How many a town which had been doing wrong did We demolish, and raise up other folk in its stead?
12
When they felt Our might (approaching), they rushed headlong away from it!
13
Do not rush away; return to what you were luxuriating in and your dwellings, so that you may be questioned.
14
They say: "Alas for us! We have been doing wrong."
15
Such an appeal as theirs will never cease until We leave them withered away like a crop in need of harvesting.
16
We did not create Heaven and Earth and whatever lies in between them while just playing around.
17
If We had wanted to adopt it as a pastime, We would have adopted it within Our very presence, had We ever done so.
18
Rather We hurl Truth against falsehood, so it knocks it down. Then it disappears. You are the ones (who need) to worry because of what you are describing.
19
He owns whoever is in Heaven and Earth. Anyone who is with Him is never too proud to do Him service, nor are they even wearied;
20
they celebrate (Him) night and day; they never pause.
21
Or have they taken gods from earth who will raise the dead?
22
If there were other gods in either (Heaven or Earth) besides God (Alone), they would both dissolve in chaos. Glory be to God, Lord of the Throne, beyond what they describe!
23
He will not be questioned about what He does, while they shall be so questioned.
24
Yet do they still adopt other gods instead of Him? SAY: "Bring on your proof! This is a Reminder for anyone who is with me, as well as a Reminder for whoever came before me." Instead, most of them do not recognize the Truth, so they avoid it.
25
We did not send any messenger before you unless We inspired him with the fact there is no deity except Me, so serve Me!
26
They say: "The Mercy-giving has adopted a son." Glory be to Him! Rather they are honored servants;
27
they do not try to speak ahead of Him, while they act at His command.
28
He knows what lies in front of them and what is behind them; while they do not intercede except for someone who has been approved. They are apprehensive and hence in awe of Him.
29
Should any of them say: "I am a god as well as He," that person We shall reward with Hell. Thus We reward wrongdoers!
30
(III) Have not those who disbelieve seen how Heaven and Earth were once one solid mass which We ripped apart? We have made every living thing out of water. Will they still not believe?
