قُل إِن كانَ لِلرَّحمـٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنا أَوَّلُ العابِدينَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "If the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of [his] worshippers."

سُبحانَ رَبِّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ رَبِّ العَرشِ عَمّا يَصِفونَ

Exalted is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.

فَذَرهُم يَخوضوا وَيَلعَبوا حَتّىٰ يُلاقوا يَومَهُمُ الَّذي يوعَدونَ

So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised.

وَهُوَ الَّذي فِي السَّماءِ إِلـٰهٌ وَفِي الأَرضِ إِلـٰهٌ ۚ وَهُوَ الحَكيمُ العَليمُ

And it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity. And He is the Wise, the Knowing.

وَتَبارَكَ الَّذي لَهُ مُلكُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما وَعِندَهُ عِلمُ السّاعَةِ وَإِلَيهِ تُرجَعونَ

And blessed is He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them and with whom is knowledge of the Hour and to whom you will be returned.

وَلَئِن سَأَلتَهُم مَن خَلَقَهُم لَيَقولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنّىٰ يُؤفَكونَ

And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded?

وَقيلِهِ يا رَبِّ إِنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ قَومٌ لا يُؤمِنونَ

And [Allah acknowledges] his saying, "O my Lord, indeed these are a people who do not believe."

فَاصفَح عَنهُم وَقُل سَلامٌ ۚ فَسَوفَ يَعلَمونَ

So turn aside from them and say, "Peace." But they are going to know.
