سَيَقُولُ Will say sayaqūlu those who alladhīna associate partners (with Allah) ashrakū If law Had willed shāa Allah l-lahu not mā we (would) have associated partners (with Allah) ashraknā and not walā our forefathers ābāunā and not walā we (would) have forbidden ḥarramnā [of] min anything shayin Likewise kadhālika denied kadhaba those who alladhīna (were from) min before them qablihim until ḥattā they tasted dhāqū Our wrath basanā Say qul Is hal with you ʿindakum [of] min any knowledge ʿil'min then produce it fatukh'rijūhu for us lanā Not in you follow tattabiʿūna except illā the assumption l-ẓana and not wa-in you (do) antum but illā guess takhruṣūna
Those who associated [others] with Allāh will say, "If Allāh had willed, we would not have associated [anything] and neither would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything." Likewise did those before deny until they tasted Our punishment. Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but misjudging."
قُلْ Say qul With Allah falillahi (is) the argument l-ḥujatu the conclusive l-bālighatu And if falaw He (had) willed shāa surely He (would) have guided you lahadākum all ajmaʿīna
Say, "With Allāh is the far-reaching [i.e., conclusive] argument. If He had willed, He would have guided you all."
قُلْ Say qul Bring forward halumma your witnesses shuhadāakumu those who alladhīna testify yashhadūna that anna Allah l-laha prohibited ḥarrama this hādhā Then if fa-in they testify shahidū then (do) not falā testify tashhad with them maʿahum And (do) not walā follow tattabiʿ (the) desires ahwāa (of) those who alladhīna denied kadhabū Our Signs biāyātinā and those who wa-alladhīna (do) not lā believe yu'minūna in the Hereafter bil-ākhirati while they wahum with their Lord birabbihim set up equals yaʿdilūna
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Bring forward your witnesses who will testify that Allāh has prohibited this." And if they testify, do not testify with them. And do not follow the desires of those who deny Our verses and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, while they equate [others] with their Lord.
