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?"

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?"

بَل أَتَيناهُم بِالحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُم لَكاذِبونَ

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.

مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِن وَلَدٍ وَما كانَ مَعَهُ مِن إِلـٰهٍ ۚ إِذًا لَذَهَبَ كُلُّ إِلـٰهٍ بِما خَلَقَ وَلَعَلا بَعضُهُم عَلىٰ بَعضٍ ۚ سُبحانَ اللَّهِ عَمّا يَصِفونَ

Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].
