وَهُوَ الَّذي ذَرَأَكُم فِي الأَرضِ وَإِلَيهِ تُحشَرونَ
And it is He who has multiplied you throughout the earth, and to Him you will be gathered.
وَهُوَ الَّذي يُحيي وَيُميتُ وَلَهُ اختِلافُ اللَّيلِ وَالنَّهارِ ۚ أَفَلا تَعقِلونَ
And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?
بَل قالوا مِثلَ ما قالَ الأَوَّلونَ
Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.
قالوا أَإِذا مِتنا وَكُنّا تُرابًا وَعِظامًا أَإِنّا لَمَبعوثونَ
They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
لَقَد وُعِدنا نَحنُ وَآباؤُنا هـٰذا مِن قَبلُ إِن هـٰذا إِلّا أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ
We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."
قُل لِمَنِ الأَرضُ وَمَن فيها إِن كُنتُم تَعلَمونَ
Say, [O Muhammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"
سَيَقولونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُل أَفَلا تَذَكَّرونَ
They will say, "To Allah." Say, "Then will you not remember?"
قُل مَن رَبُّ السَّماواتِ السَّبعِ وَرَبُّ العَرشِ العَظيمِ
Say, "Who is Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne?"
سَيَقولونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُل أَفَلا تَتَّقونَ
They will say, "[They belong] to Allah." Say, "Then will you not fear Him?"
قُل مَن بِيَدِهِ مَلَكوتُ كُلِّ شَيءٍ وَهُوَ يُجيرُ وَلا يُجارُ عَلَيهِ إِن كُنتُم تَعلَمونَ
Say, "In whose hand is the realm of all things - and He protects while none can protect against Him - if you should know?"
سَيَقولونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُل فَأَنّىٰ تُسحَرونَ
They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"
