وَقالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحمـٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبحانَهُ ۚ بَل عِبادٌ مُكرَمونَ
And they say, “The Most Merciful has begotten a child.” Glorified be He! Rather, they are honored servants.
لا يَسبِقونَهُ بِالقَولِ وَهُم بِأَمرِهِ يَعمَلونَ
They don’t precede Him in speech, and they act only upon His command.
يَعلَمُ ما بَينَ أَيديهِم وَما خَلفَهُم وَلا يَشفَعونَ إِلّا لِمَنِ ارتَضىٰ وَهُم مِن خَشيَتِهِ مُشفِقونَ
He knows their past and their future. They can’t intercede except for those He approves of. They stand in awe and reverence of Him.
وَمَن يَقُل مِنهُم إِنّي إِلـٰهٌ مِن دونِهِ فَذٰلِكَ نَجزيهِ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ نَجزِي الظّالِمينَ
Should any among them dare to say, “I am a god besides Him,” We will recompense him with Hell; this is the recompense of transgressors.
أَوَلَم يَرَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا أَنَّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ كانَتا رَتقًا فَفَتَقناهُما ۖ وَجَعَلنا مِنَ الماءِ كُلَّ شَيءٍ حَيٍّ ۖ أَفَلا يُؤمِنونَ
Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, which We then separated? And from water, We brought forth all living things. Will they not then believe?
وَجَعَلنا فِي الأَرضِ رَواسِيَ أَن تَميدَ بِهِم وَجَعَلنا فيها فِجاجًا سُبُلًا لَعَلَّهُم يَهتَدونَ
We placed upon it firm mountains, lest it should shake with them, and We made therein passageways, so they may be guided.
وَجَعَلنَا السَّماءَ سَقفًا مَحفوظًا ۖ وَهُم عَن آياتِها مُعرِضونَ
We made the sky a protected ceiling, yet they turn away from its signs.
وَهُوَ الَّذي خَلَقَ اللَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ وَالشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ في فَلَكٍ يَسبَحونَ
It is He who created the night, the day, the sun, and the moon, each gliding in an orbit.
وَما جَعَلنا لِبَشَرٍ مِن قَبلِكَ الخُلدَ ۖ أَفَإِن مِتَّ فَهُمُ الخالِدونَ
We didn’t grant any human before you immortality. So, if you were to die, would they then live forever?
كُلُّ نَفسٍ ذائِقَةُ المَوتِ ۗ وَنَبلوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالخَيرِ فِتنَةً ۖ وَإِلَينا تُرجَعونَ
Every soul will taste death. We burden you with bad and good—a test. And to Us, you will be returned.
وَإِذا رَآكَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا إِن يَتَّخِذونَكَ إِلّا هُزُوًا أَهـٰذَا الَّذي يَذكُرُ آلِهَتَكُم وَهُم بِذِكرِ الرَّحمـٰنِ هُم كافِرونَ
When the unbelievers see you, they take you for mockery: “Is this the one who speaks about your gods?” Yet they deny the mention of the Most Merciful.
