وَما أَنتَ إِلّا بَشَرٌ مِثلُنا وَإِن نَظُنُّكَ لَمِنَ الكاذِبينَ

You are but a man like ourselves, and indeed, we think you are among the liars.

فَأَسقِط عَلَينا كِسَفًا مِنَ السَّماءِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصّادِقينَ

So cause to fall upon us fragments of the sky, if you should be of the truthful."

قالَ رَبّي أَعلَمُ بِما تَعمَلونَ

He said, "My Lord is most knowing of what you do."

فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَخَذَهُم عَذابُ يَومِ الظُّلَّةِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كانَ عَذابَ يَومٍ عَظيمٍ

And they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the black cloud seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a terrible day.

إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزيلُ رَبِّ العالَمينَ

And indeed, the Qur'an is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.

نَزَلَ بِهِ الرّوحُ الأَمينُ

The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down

عَلىٰ قَلبِكَ لِتَكونَ مِنَ المُنذِرينَ

Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners -

بِلِسانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبينٍ

In a clear Arabic language.

وَإِنَّهُ لَفي زُبُرِ الأَوَّلينَ

And indeed, it is [mentioned] in the scriptures of former peoples.
