وَقَالَتِ And said waqālati the Jews l-yahūdu Not laysati the Christians l-naṣārā (are) on ʿalā anything shayin and said waqālati the Christians l-naṣārā Not laysati the Jews l-yahūdu (are) on ʿalā anything shayin although they wahum recite yatlūna the Book l-kitāba Like that kadhālika said qāla those who alladhīna (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna similar mith'la their saying qawlihim [So] Allah fal-lahu will judge yaḥkumu between them baynahum (on the) Day yawma (of) Resurrection l-qiyāmati in what fīmā they were kānū [in it] fīhi differing yakhtalifūna
The Jews say, "The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus do those who know not [i.e., the polytheists] speak the same as their words. But Allāh will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.
وَمَنْ And who waman (is) more unjust aẓlamu than (one) who mimman prevents manaʿa (the) masajid masājida (of) Allah l-lahi to an be mentioned yudh'kara in them fīhā His name us'muhu and strives wasaʿā for fī their destruction kharābihā Those ulāika Not mā it is kāna for them lahum that an they enter them yadkhulūhā except illā (like) those in fear khāifīna For them lahum in fī the world l-dun'yā (is) disgrace khiz'yun and for them walahum in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati (is) a punishment ʿadhābun great ʿaẓīmun
And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allāh from being mentioned [i.e., praised] in His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter them except in fear. For them in this world is disgrace, and they will have in the Hereafter a great punishment.
وَلِلَّهِ And for Allah walillahi (is) the east l-mashriqu and the west wal-maghribu so wherever fa-aynamā you turn tuwallū [so] there fathamma (is the) face wajhu (of) Allah l-lahi Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) All-Encompassing wāsiʿun All-Knowing ʿalīmun
And to Allāh belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face1 of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
وَقَالُوا۟ And they said waqālū has taken ittakhadha Allah l-lahu a son waladan Glory be to Him sub'ḥānahu Nay bal for Him lahu (is) what mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi All kullun to Him lahu (are) humbly obedient qānitūna
They say, "Allāh has taken a son." Exalted is He!1 Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are devoutly obedient to Him,
بَدِيعُ (The) Originator badīʿu (of) the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi And when wa-idhā He decrees qaḍā a matter amran [so] only fa-innamā He says yaqūlu to it lahu Be kun and it becomes fayakūnu
Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.
وَقَالَ And said waqāla those who alladhīna (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna Why not lawlā speaks to us yukallimunā Allah l-lahu or aw comes to us tatīnā a sign āyatun Like that kadhālika said qāla those alladhīna from min before them qablihim similar mith'la their saying qawlihim Became alike tashābahat their hearts qulūbuhum Indeed qad We have made clear bayyannā the signs l-āyāti for people liqawmin (who) firmly believe yūqinūna
Those who do not know say, "Why does Allāh not speak to us or there come to us a sign?" Thus spoke those before them like their words. Their hearts resemble each other. We have shown clearly the signs to a people who are certain [in faith].
إِنَّآ Indeed We innā [We] have sent you arsalnāka with the truth bil-ḥaqi (as) a bearer of good news bashīran and (as) a warner wanadhīran And not walā you will be asked tus'alu about ʿan (the) companions aṣḥābi (of) the blazing Fire l-jaḥīmi
Indeed, We have sent you, [O Muḥammad], with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, and you will not be asked about the companions of Hellfire.
