وَإِذا تُتلىٰ عَلَيهِم آياتُنا بَيِّناتٍ قالَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لِلَّذينَ آمَنوا أَيُّ الفَريقَينِ خَيرٌ مَقامًا وَأَحسَنُ نَدِيًّا

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"

وَكَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِن قَرنٍ هُم أَحسَنُ أَثاثًا وَرِئيًا

And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?

قُل مَن كانَ فِي الضَّلالَةِ فَليَمدُد لَهُ الرَّحمـٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتّىٰ إِذا رَأَوا ما يوعَدونَ إِمَّا العَذابَ وَإِمَّا السّاعَةَ فَسَيَعلَمونَ مَن هُوَ شَرٌّ مَكانًا وَأَضعَفُ جُندًا

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."

وَيَزيدُ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ اهتَدَوا هُدًى ۗ وَالباقِياتُ الصّالِحاتُ خَيرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوابًا وَخَيرٌ مَرَدًّا

And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.

أَفَرَأَيتَ الَّذي كَفَرَ بِآياتِنا وَقالَ لَأوتَيَنَّ مالًا وَوَلَدًا

Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?"

كَلّا ۚ سَنَكتُبُ ما يَقولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ العَذابِ مَدًّا

No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.

وَنَرِثُهُ ما يَقولُ وَيَأتينا فَردًا

And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.

وَاتَّخَذوا مِن دونِ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً لِيَكونوا لَهُم عِزًّا

And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.

كَلّا ۚ سَيَكفُرونَ بِعِبادَتِهِم وَيَكونونَ عَلَيهِم ضِدًّا

No! Those "gods" will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].

أَلَم تَرَ أَنّا أَرسَلنَا الشَّياطينَ عَلَى الكافِرينَ تَؤُزُّهُم أَزًّا

Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement?
