تَكادُ السَّماواتُ يَتَفَطَّرنَ مِنهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الأَرضُ وَتَخِرُّ الجِبالُ هَدًّا

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

أَن دَعَوا لِلرَّحمـٰنِ وَلَدًا

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

وَما يَنبَغي لِلرَّحمـٰنِ أَن يَتَّخِذَ وَلَدًا

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

إِن كُلُّ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ إِلّا آتِي الرَّحمـٰنِ عَبدًا

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

لَقَد أَحصاهُم وَعَدَّهُم عَدًّا

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

إِنَّ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ سَيَجعَلُ لَهُمُ الرَّحمـٰنُ وُدًّا

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.

فَإِنَّما يَسَّرناهُ بِلِسانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ المُتَّقينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِ قَومًا لُدًّا

So, [O Muhammad], We have only made Qur'an easy in the Arabic language that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.

وَكَم أَهلَكنا قَبلَهُم مِن قَرنٍ هَل تُحِسُّ مِنهُم مِن أَحَدٍ أَو تَسمَعُ لَهُم رِكزًا

And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?
