وَمَا And not wamā they appraised qadarū Allah l-laha (with) true ḥaqqa [of his] appraisal qadrihi when idh they said qālū Not mā revealed anzala (by) Allah l-lahu on ʿalā a human being basharin [of] min anything shayin Say qul Who man revealed anzala the Book l-kitāba which alladhī brought jāa [it] bihi Musa mūsā (as) a light nūran and guidance wahudan for the people lilnnāsi You make it tajʿalūnahu (into) parchments qarāṭīsa you disclose (some of) it tub'dūnahā and you conceal watukh'fūna much (of it) kathīran And you were taught waʿullim'tum what mā not lam knew taʿlamū you antum and not walā your forefathers ābāukum Say quli Allah (revealed it) l-lahu Then thumma leave them dharhum in fī their discourse khawḍihim playing yalʿabūna
And they did not appraise Allāh with true appraisal1 when they said, "Allāh did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, "Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much. And you2 were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, "Allāh [revealed it]." Then leave them in their [empty] discourse, amusing themselves.
وَهَـٰذَا And this wahādhā (is) a Book kitābun We have revealed it anzalnāhu blessed mubārakun confirming muṣaddiqu which alladhī (came) before bayna its hands yadayhi so that you may warn walitundhira (the) mother umma (of) the cities l-qurā and who waman (are) around it ḥawlahā And those who wa-alladhīna believe yu'minūna in the Hereafter bil-ākhirati they believe yu'minūna in it bihi and they wahum over ʿalā their prayers ṣalātihim (are) guarding yuḥāfiẓūna
And this is a Book which We have sent down, blessed and confirming what was before it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities [i.e., Makkah] and those around it.1 Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they are maintaining their prayers.
وَمَنْ And who waman (is) more unjust aẓlamu than (one) who mimmani invents if'tarā about ʿalā Allah l-lahi a lie kadhiban or aw said qāla It has been inspired ūḥiya to me ilayya while not walam it was inspired yūḥa to him ilayhi anything shayon and (one) who waman said qāla I will reveal sa-unzilu like mith'la what mā (has been) revealed anzala (by) Allah l-lahu And if walaw you (could) see tarā when idhi the wrongdoers l-ẓālimūna (are) in fī agonies ghamarāti (of) [the] death l-mawti while the Angels wal-malāikatu (are) stretching out bāsiṭū their hands (saying) aydīhim Discharge akhrijū your souls anfusakumu Today l-yawma you will be recompensed tuj'zawna (with) punishment ʿadhāba humiliating l-hūni because bimā you used to kuntum say taqūlūna against ʿalā Allah l-lahi other than ghayra the truth l-ḥaqi and you were wakuntum towards ʿan His Verses āyātihi being arrogant tastakbirūna
And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allāh or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allāh revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands,1 [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allāh other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."
وَلَقَدْ And certainly walaqad you have come to Us ji'tumūnā alone furādā as kamā We created you khalaqnākum (the) first awwala time marratin and you have left wataraktum whatever mā We bestowed (on) you khawwalnākum behind warāa your backs ẓuhūrikum And not wamā We see narā with you maʿakum your intercessors shufaʿāakumu those whom alladhīna you claimed zaʿamtum that they (were) annahum in your (matters) fīkum partners (with Allah) shurakāu Indeed laqad have been severed (bonds) taqaṭṭaʿa between you baynakum and is lost waḍalla from you ʿankum what mā you used to kuntum claim tazʿumūna
[It will be said to them], "And you have certainly come to Us alone [i.e., individually] as We created you the first time, and you have left whatever We bestowed upon you behind you. And We do not see with you your 'intercessors' which you claimed that they were among you associates [of Allāh]. It has [all] been severed between you,1 and lost from you is what you used to claim."
