أَم خَلَقُوا السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ ۚ بَل لا يوقِنونَ

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

أَم عِندَهُم خَزائِنُ رَبِّكَ أَم هُمُ المُصَيطِرونَ

Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?

أَم لَهُم سُلَّمٌ يَستَمِعونَ فيهِ ۖ فَليَأتِ مُستَمِعُهُم بِسُلطانٍ مُبينٍ

Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority.

أَم لَهُ البَناتُ وَلَكُمُ البَنونَ

Or has He daughters while you have sons?

أَم تَسأَلُهُم أَجرًا فَهُم مِن مَغرَمٍ مُثقَلونَ

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

أَم يُريدونَ كَيدًا ۖ فَالَّذينَ كَفَروا هُمُ المَكيدونَ

Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

أَم لَهُم إِلـٰهٌ غَيرُ اللَّهِ ۚ سُبحانَ اللَّهِ عَمّا يُشرِكونَ

Or have they a deity other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.

وَإِن يَرَوا كِسفًا مِنَ السَّماءِ ساقِطًا يَقولوا سَحابٌ مَركومٌ

And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."

فَذَرهُم حَتّىٰ يُلاقوا يَومَهُمُ الَّذي فيهِ يُصعَقونَ

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

يَومَ لا يُغني عَنهُم كَيدُهُم شَيئًا وَلا هُم يُنصَرونَ

The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.
