But those who disbelieve say, "Shall we direct you to a man who will inform you [that] when you have disintegrated in complete disintegration, you will [then] be [recreated] in a new creation?
أَفْتَرَىٰ Has he invented aftarā about ʿalā Allah l-lahi a lie kadhiban or am in him bihi (is) madness jinnatun Nay bali those who alladhīna (do) not lā believe yu'minūna in the Hereafter bil-ākhirati (will be) in fī the punishment l-ʿadhābi and error wal-ḍalāli far l-baʿīdi

أَفَلَمْ Then, do not afalam they see yaraw towards ilā what mā (is) before them bayna (is) before them aydīhim and what wamā (is) behind them khalfahum of mina the heaven l-samāi and the earth wal-arḍi If in We will nasha We (could) cause to swallow them nakhsif We (could) cause to swallow them bihimu the earth l-arḍa or aw cause to fall nus'qiṭ upon them ʿalayhim fragments kisafan from mina the sky l-samāi Indeed inna in fī that dhālika surely, is a Sign laāyatan for every likulli slave ʿabdin who turns (to Allah) munībin
Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to Allāh].
