لَقَد وُعِدنا هـٰذا نَحنُ وَآباؤُنا مِن قَبلُ إِن هـٰذا إِلّا أَساطيرُ الأَوَّلينَ

قُل سيروا فِي الأَرضِ فَانظُروا كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ المُجرِمينَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how was the end of the criminals."

وَلا تَحزَن عَلَيهِم وَلا تَكُن في ضَيقٍ مِمّا يَمكُرونَ

And grieve not over them or be in distress from what they conspire.

وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الوَعدُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

And they say, "When is [the fulfillment of] this promise, if you should be truthful?"

قُل عَسىٰ أَن يَكونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعضُ الَّذي تَستَعجِلونَ

وَما مِن غائِبَةٍ فِي السَّماءِ وَالأَرضِ إِلّا في كِتابٍ مُبينٍ

إِنَّ هـٰذَا القُرآنَ يَقُصُّ عَلىٰ بَني إِسرائيلَ أَكثَرَ الَّذي هُم فيهِ يَختَلِفونَ

وَإِنَّهُ لَهُدًى وَرَحمَةٌ لِلمُؤمِنينَ

And indeed, it is guidance and mercy for the believers.

إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقضي بَينَهُم بِحُكمِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ العَزيزُ العَليمُ

Indeed, your Lord will judge between them by His [wise] judgement. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
