أَمْ Or am they say yaqūlūna He has fabricated it if'tarāhu Say qul Then bring fatū ten biʿashri Surahs suwarin like it mith'lihi fabricated muf'tarayātin and call wa-id'ʿū whoever mani you can is'taṭaʿtum besides Allah min besides Allah dūni besides Allah l-lahi if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
Or do they say, "He invented it"? Say, "Then bring ten sūrahs like it that have been invented and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allāh, if you should be truthful."
فَإِلَّمْ Then if not fa-illam they respond yastajībū to you lakum then know fa-iʿ'lamū that annamā it was sent down unzila with the knowledge of Allah biʿil'mi with the knowledge of Allah l-lahi and that wa-an (there is) no lā god ilāha except illā Him huwa Then, would fahal you antum (be) Muslims mus'limūna
And if they do not respond to you - then know that it [i.e., the Qur’ān] was revealed with the knowledge of Allāh1 and that there is no deity except Him. Then,2 would you [not] be Muslims?
مَن Whoever [is] man Whoever [is] kāna desires yurīdu the life l-ḥayata (of) the world l-dun'yā and its adornments wazīnatahā We will repay in full nuwaffi to them ilayhim (for) their deeds aʿmālahum therein fīhā and they wahum in it fīhā will not be lessened lā will not be lessened yub'khasūna
Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein,1 and they therein will not be deprived.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ulāika (are) the ones who alladhīna (is) not laysa for them lahum in fī the Hereafter l-ākhirati except illā the Fire l-nāru And (has) gone in vain waḥabiṭa what mā they did ṣanaʿū therein fīhā and (is) worthless wabāṭilun what mā they used (to) kānū do yaʿmalūna
Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fire. And lost is what they did therein,1 and worthless is what they used to do.
أَفَمَن Then is he who afaman is kāna on ʿalā a clear proof bayyinatin from min his Lord rabbihi and recites it wayatlūhu a witness shāhidun from Him min'hu and before it wamin and before it qablihi (was) a Book kitābu (of) Musa mūsā (as) a guide imāman and (as) mercy waraḥmatan Those ulāika believe yu'minūna in it bihi But whoever waman disbelieves yakfur in it bihi among mina the sects l-aḥzābi then the Fire fal-nāru (will be) his promised (meeting) place mawʿiduhu So (do) not falā be taku in fī doubt mir'yatin about it min'hu Indeed, it innahu (is) the truth l-ḥaqu from min your Lord rabbika but walākinna most akthara (of) the people l-nāsi (do) not lā believe yu'minūna
So is one who [stands] upon a clear evidence from his Lord [like the aforementioned]? And a witness1 from Him follows it,2 and before it was the Scripture of Moses to lead and as mercy. Those [believers in the former revelations] believe in it [i.e., the Qur’ān]. But whoever disbelieves in it from the [various] factions - the Fire is his promised destination. So be not in doubt about it. Indeed, it is the truth from your Lord, but most of the people do not believe.
وَمَنْ And who waman (is) more unjust aẓlamu than (he) who mimmani invents if'tarā against ʿalā Allah l-lahi a lie kadhiban Those ulāika will be presented yuʿ'raḍūna before ʿalā their Lord rabbihim and will say wayaqūlu the witnesses l-ashhādu These (are) hāulāi those who alladhīna lied kadhabū against ʿalā their Lord rabbihim No doubt alā (The) curse of Allah laʿnatu (The) curse of Allah l-lahi (is) on ʿalā the wrongdoers l-ẓālimīna
And who is more unjust than he who invents a lie about Allāh? Those will be presented before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord." Unquestionably, the curse of Allāh is upon the wrongdoers.
ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna hinder yaṣuddūna from ʿan (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi and seek (in) it wayabghūnahā crookedness ʿiwajan while they wahum in the Hereafter bil-ākhirati [they] hum (are) disbelievers kāfirūna
Who averted [people] from the way of Allāh and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they, concerning the Hereafter, were disbelievers.
