۞ وَلَا And (do) not walā argue tujādilū (with the) People of the Book ahla (with the) People of the Book l-kitābi except illā by which bi-allatī [it] hiya (is) best aḥsanu except illā those who alladhīna (do) wrong ẓalamū among them min'hum and say waqūlū We believe āmannā in that (which) bi-alladhī has been revealed unzila to us ilaynā and was revealed wa-unzila to you ilaykum And our God wa-ilāhunā and your God wa-ilāhukum (is) One wāḥidun and we wanaḥnu to Him lahu submit mus'limūna
And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus wakadhālika We (have) revealed anzalnā to you ilayka the Book l-kitāba So those fa-alladhīna We gave [them] ātaynāhumu the Book l-kitāba believe yu'minūna therein bihi And among wamin these hāulāi (are some) who man believe yu'minu therein bihi And none wamā reject yajḥadu Our Verses biāyātinā except illā the disbelievers l-kāfirūna
And thus We have sent down to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān]. And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture believe in it. And among these [people of Makkah] are those who believe in it. And none reject Our verses except the disbelievers.
وَمَا And not wamā (did) you kunta recite tatlū before it min before it qablihi any min Book kitābin and not walā (did) you write it takhuṭṭuhu with your right hand biyamīnika in that case idhan surely (would) have doubted la-ir'tāba the falsifiers l-mub'ṭilūna
And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Then [i.e., otherwise] the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.
بَلْ Nay bal it huwa (is) Verses āyātun clear bayyinātun in fī (the) breasts ṣudūri (of) those who alladhīna are given ūtū the knowledge l-ʿil'ma And not wamā reject yajḥadu Our Verses biāyātinā except illā the wrongdoers l-ẓālimūna
Rather, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is distinct verses [preserved] within the breasts of those who have been given knowledge. And none reject Our verses except the wrongdoers.
وَقَالُوا۟ And they say waqālū Why not lawlā are sent down unzila to him ʿalayhi (the) Signs āyātun from min his Lord rabbihi Say qul Only innamā the Signs l-āyātu (are) with ʿinda Allah l-lahi and only wa-innamā I (am) anā a warner nadhīrun clear mubīnun
But they say, "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "The signs are only with Allāh, and I am only a clear warner."
أَوَلَمْ And is (it) not awalam sufficient for them yakfihim that We annā revealed anzalnā to you ʿalayka the Book l-kitāba (which) is recited yut'lā to them ʿalayhim Indeed inna in fī that dhālika surely is a mercy laraḥmatan and a reminder wadhik'rā for a people liqawmin who believe yu'minūna
And is it not sufficient for them that We revealed to you the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] which is recited to them? Indeed in that is a mercy and reminder for a people who believe.
قُلْ Say qul Sufficient is kafā Allah bil-lahi between me baynī and between you wabaynakum (as) a Witness shahīdan He knows yaʿlamu what mā (is) in fī the heavens l-samāwāti and the earth wal-arḍi And those who wa-alladhīna believe āmanū in [the] falsehood bil-bāṭili and disbelieve wakafarū in Allah bil-lahi those ulāika they humu (are) the losers l-khāsirūna
Say, "Sufficient is Allāh between me and you as Witness. He knows what is in the heavens and earth. And they who have believed in falsehood and disbelieved in Allāh - it is those who are the losers."
