لَو أَرَدنا أَن نَتَّخِذَ لَهوًا لَاتَّخَذناهُ مِن لَدُنّا إِن كُنّا فاعِلينَ

Had We intended to take a diversion, We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.

بَل نَقذِفُ بِالحَقِّ عَلَى الباطِلِ فَيَدمَغُهُ فَإِذا هُوَ زاهِقٌ ۚ وَلَكُمُ الوَيلُ مِمّا تَصِفونَ

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.

وَلَهُ مَن فِي السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ وَمَن عِندَهُ لا يَستَكبِرونَ عَن عِبادَتِهِ وَلا يَستَحسِرونَ

To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire.

يُسَبِّحونَ اللَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ لا يَفتُرونَ

They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.

أَمِ اتَّخَذوا آلِهَةً مِنَ الأَرضِ هُم يُنشِرونَ

Or have men taken for themselves gods from the earth who resurrect [the dead]?

لا يُسأَلُ عَمّا يَفعَلُ وَهُم يُسأَلونَ

He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned.

أَمِ اتَّخَذوا مِن دونِهِ آلِهَةً ۖ قُل هاتوا بُرهانَكُم ۖ هـٰذا ذِكرُ مَن مَعِيَ وَذِكرُ مَن قَبلي ۗ بَل أَكثَرُهُم لا يَعلَمونَ الحَقَّ ۖ فَهُم مُعرِضونَ

Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say, [O Muhammad], "Produce your proof. This [Qur'an] is the message for those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them do not know the truth, so they are turning away.

وَما أَرسَلنا مِن قَبلِكَ مِن رَسولٍ إِلّا نوحي إِلَيهِ أَنَّهُ لا إِلـٰهَ إِلّا أَنا فَاعبُدونِ

And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me."

وَقالُوا اتَّخَذَ الرَّحمـٰنُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبحانَهُ ۚ بَل عِبادٌ مُكرَمونَ

And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, they are [but] honored servants.

لا يَسبِقونَهُ بِالقَولِ وَهُم بِأَمرِهِ يَعمَلونَ

They cannot precede Him in word, and they act by His command.
