۞ وَلَوْ And (even) if walaw [that] We (had) annanā [We] sent down nazzalnā to them ilayhimu the Angels l-malāikata and spoken to them wakallamahumu the dead l-mawtā and We gathered waḥasharnā before them ʿalayhim every kulla thing shayin face to face qubulan not mā they were kānū to believe liyu'minū unless illā [that] an wills yashāa Allah l-lahu But walākinna most of them aktharahum (are) ignorant yajhalūna
And even if We had sent down to them the angels [with the message] and the dead spoke to them [of it] and We gathered together every [created] thing in front of them, they would not believe unless Allāh should will. But most of them, [of that], are ignorant.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus wakadhālika We made jaʿalnā for every likulli Prophet nabiyyin an enemy ʿaduwwan devils shayāṭīna (from) the mankind l-insi and the jinn wal-jini inspiring yūḥī some of them baʿḍuhum to ilā others baʿḍin (with) decorative zukh'rufa [the] speech l-qawli (in) deception ghurūran But if walaw (had) willed shāa your Lord rabbuka not mā they (would) have done it faʿalūhu so leave them fadharhum and what wamā they invent yaftarūna
And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy - devils from mankind and jinn, inspiring to one another decorative speech in delusion. But if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it, so leave them and that which they invent.
وَلِتَصْغَىٰٓ And so that incline walitaṣghā to it ilayhi hearts afidatu (of) those who alladhīna (do) not lā believe yu'minūna in the Hereafter bil-ākhirati and so that they may be pleased with it waliyarḍawhu and so that they may commit waliyaqtarifū what mā they hum (are) committing muq'tarifūna
And [it is] so the hearts of those who disbelieve in the Hereafter will incline toward it [i.e., deceptive speech] and that they will be satisfied with it and that they will commit that which they are committing.
أَفَغَيْرَ Then is (it) other than afaghayra Allah l-lahi I seek abtaghī (as) judge ḥakaman while He wahuwa (is) the One Who alladhī has revealed anzala to you ilaykumu the Book l-kitāba explained in detail mufaṣṣalan And those (to) whom wa-alladhīna We gave them ātaynāhumu the Book l-kitāba they know yaʿlamūna that it annahu (is) sent down munazzalun from min your Lord rabbika in truth bil-ḥaqi so (do) not falā be takūnanna among mina the ones who doubt l-mum'tarīna
[Say], "Then is it other than Allāh I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] explained in detail?" And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters.
وَتَمَّتْ And (has been) fulfilled watammat (the) word kalimatu (of) your Lord rabbika (in) truth ṣid'qan and justice waʿadlan No lā one can change mubaddila His words likalimātihi and He wahuwa (is) the All-Hearer l-samīʿu the All-Knower l-ʿalīmu
And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

And if you obey most of those upon the earth, they will mislead you from the way of Allāh. They follow not except assumption, and they are not but misjudging.1
إِنَّ Indeed inna your Lord rabbaka He huwa knows best aʿlamu who man strays yaḍillu from ʿan His way sabīlihi and He wahuwa (is) most knowing aʿlamu of the guided-ones bil-muh'tadīna
Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.

So eat of that [meat] upon which the name of Allāh has been mentioned,1 if you are believers in His verses [i.e., revealed law].
