كَذٰلِكَ نَسلُكُهُ في قُلوبِ المُجرِمينَ

Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals.

لا يُؤمِنونَ بِهِ ۖ وَقَد خَلَت سُنَّةُ الأَوَّلينَ

They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.

وَلَو فَتَحنا عَلَيهِم بابًا مِنَ السَّماءِ فَظَلّوا فيهِ يَعرُجونَ

And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,

لَقالوا إِنَّما سُكِّرَت أَبصارُنا بَل نَحنُ قَومٌ مَسحورونَ

They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."

وَلَقَد جَعَلنا فِي السَّماءِ بُروجًا وَزَيَّنّاها لِلنّاظِرينَ

And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.

إِلّا مَنِ استَرَقَ السَّمعَ فَأَتبَعَهُ شِهابٌ مُبينٌ

Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.

وَالأَرضَ مَدَدناها وَأَلقَينا فيها رَواسِيَ وَأَنبَتنا فيها مِن كُلِّ شَيءٍ مَوزونٍ

And the earth - We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.

وَجَعَلنا لَكُم فيها مَعايِشَ وَمَن لَستُم لَهُ بِرازِقينَ

And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.

وَإِن مِن شَيءٍ إِلّا عِندَنا خَزائِنُهُ وَما نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلّا بِقَدَرٍ مَعلومٍ

And there is not a thing but that with Us are its depositories, and We do not send it down except according to a known measure.

وَأَرسَلنَا الرِّياحَ لَواقِحَ فَأَنزَلنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَسقَيناكُموهُ وَما أَنتُم لَهُ بِخازِنينَ

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.
