أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا۟ رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ am lam ya`rifū rasūlahum fahum lahu munkirūn Or did they not recognise their apostle, and rejected him?
70
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌۢ ۚ بَلْ جَآءَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَـٰرِهُونَ am yaqūlūna bihi jinnah ۚ bal jā-ahum bil ḥaqqi wa-aktharuhum lilḥaqqi kārihūn Or do they say that he is possessed? In fact, he has brought the truth to them, but most of them abhor the truth.
71
وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَـٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ walawit-taba`al ḥaqqu ahwā-ahum lafasadatis samāwātu wal-arḍu wa man fīhinn ۚ bal ataynāhum bidhikrihim fahum `an dhikrihim mu`riḍūn Had truth been subject to their whims the heavens and the earth and all those within them would have been depraved. In fact We had sent them their reminder, but they turned away from good advice.
72
أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ am tas-aluhum kharjan fakharāju rabbika khayr ۖ wahuwa khayrur rāziqīn Or do you ask of them any tribute? In that case the tribute of your Lord is better, for He is the best of providers.
73
وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ wa innaka latad`ūhum ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm You are surely calling them to the right path.
74
وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَـٰكِبُونَ wa innal ladhīna lā yu-minūna bil-ākhirati `aniṣ ṣirāṭi lanākibūn But those who believe not in the Hereafter turn away from the straight path.
75
وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَـٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوا۟ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ walaw raḥimnāhum wakashafnā mā bihim min ḍurrin lalajjū fī ṭughyānihim ya`mahūn If We took compassion on them and removed the affliction they are in, they would only wander lost in confusion.
76
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ walaqad akhadhnāhum bil `adhābi famas-takānū lirabbihim wa mā yataḍarra`ūn We had seized them with the punishment, but they did not bow before their Lord nor turned to Him in humility,
77
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ ḥattā idhā fataḥnā `alayhim bāban dhā `adhābin shadīdin idhā hum fīhi mublisūn So that when at last We open up the gate of severe punishment on them they will be overwhelmed with despair.
78
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ wahuwal ladhī ansha-a lakumus sam`a wal-abṣāra wal-af-idah ۚ qalīlan mā tashkurūn It is He who gave you hearing, sight, and hearts, but only few of you give thanks.
79
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى ذَرَأَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ wahuwal ladhī dhara-akum fil-arḍi wa ilayhi tuḥsharūn It is He who multiplied you on the earth, and it will be before Him that you will be gathered.
80
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخْتِلَـٰفُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ wahuwal ladhī yuḥyī wayumītu walahukh-tilāful layli wan nahār ۚ afalā ta`qilūn It is He who gives you life and death, and His the alternation of night and day. Even then you do not understand,
81
بَلْ قَالُوا۟ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ bal qālū mithla mā qālal-awwalūn And talk as did the people of old.
82

83
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَـٰذَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ laqad wu`idnā naḥnu wa-ābā-unā hādhā min qablu in hādhā illā asāṭīrul-awwalīn We and our fathers were promised this before; it is nothing but ancient lore!"

86
قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ ٱلسَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ qul man rabbus samāwātis sab`i warabbul `arshil `aẓīm Say: "Then who is the Lord of the seven skies? And who is the Lord of the mighty Throne?"
87
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ ۚ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ sayaqūlūna lillāh ۚ qul afalā tattaqūn They will say: "God." Say: "Then why do you not obey and fear Him?"

Had this been so, each god would have taken away what he had created with him, and some would have risen over the others. God is much too glorious for what they attribute (to Him)!

96
ٱدْفَعْ بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ ۚ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَصِفُونَ id-fa` bil latī hiya aḥsanus sayyi-ah ۚ naḥnu a`lamu bimā yaṣifūn Dispel evil with what is good. We know well what they attribute (to Us).

Not so. These are only words he utters. Behind them lies the intervening barrier (stretching) to the day of their resurrection.
101
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَلَآ أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَآءَلُونَ fa-idhā nufikha fiṣ ṣūri falā ansāba baynahum yawma-idhin walā yatasā-alūn When the trumpet blast is sounded no ties of lineage will hold among them, nor will they ask after one another.

أَلَمْ تَكُنْ ءَايَـٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ alam takun āyātī tutlā `alaykum fakuntum bihā tukadhhibūn "Were not My messages read out to you? But you denied them."
106
قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا شِقْوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوْمًا ضَآلِّينَ qālū rabbanā ghalabat `alaynā shiqwatunā wakunnā qawman ḍāllīn They will say: "O Lord, our misery overwhelmed us, so we remained a people astray.

إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِى يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ innahu kāna farīqun min `ibādī yaqūlūna rabbanā āmannā faghfir lanā warḥamnā wa-anta khayrur rāḥimīn There was a section among My creatures that said: 'O Lord, we believe. Forgive us and have mercy upon us, for You are the best of the merciful.'
110
فَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِى وَكُنتُم مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ fattakhadhtumūhum sikhriyyan ḥattā ansawkum dhikrī wakuntum minhum taḍ-ḥakūn But you ridiculed them. So much so that out of (spite) for them you forgot to remember Me and laughed at them.

Verily the unbelievers will not prosper.
118
