لَاهِيَةٗ
قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ
وَأَسَرُّواْ
ٱلنَّجۡوَى
ٱلَّذِينَ
ظَلَمُواْ
هَلۡ
هَٰذَآ
إِلَّا

مِّثۡلُكُمۡۖ
أَفَتَأۡتُونَ
ٱلسِّحۡرَ
وَأَنتُمۡ
تُبۡصِرُونَ

فَلۡيَأۡتِنَا
بِـَٔايَةٖ
كَمَآ
أُرۡسِلَ
ٱلۡأَوَّلُونَ
٥
Some say, ‘Muddled dreams’; others, ‘He made it up’; yet others, ‘He is just a poet, let him show us a sign as previous messengers did.’
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
مَآ

قَبۡلَهُم
مِّن
قَرۡيَةٍ
أَهۡلَكۡنَٰهَآۖ

٧
And even before your time [Prophet], all the messengers We sent were only men We inspired–– if you [disbelievers] do not know, ask people who know the Scripture––
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَمَا
جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ
جَسَدٗا
لَّا
يَأۡكُلُونَ
ٱلطَّعَامَ
وَمَا
كَانُواْ
خَٰلِدِينَ

We did not give them bodies that ate no food, nor were they immortal.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
ثُمَّ
صَدَقۡنَٰهُمُ
ٱلۡوَعۡدَ
فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُمۡ
وَمَن

We fulfilled Our promise to them in the end: We saved them and those We wished to save, and We destroyed those who exceeded all bounds.

أَنزَلۡنَآ
إِلَيۡكُمۡ
كِتَٰبٗا
فِيهِ
ذِكۡرُكُمۡۚ
أَفَلَا

١٠
And now We have sent down to you [people] a Scripture to remind you. Will you not use your reason?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

مِن
قَرۡيَةٖ
كَانَتۡ
ظَالِمَةٗ
وَأَنشَأۡنَا

مِّنۡهَا
يَرۡكُضُونَ
١٢
When they felt Our might coming upon them, see how they tried to escape it!
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
لَا
تَرۡكُضُواْ
وَٱرۡجِعُوٓاْ
إِلَىٰ

أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ
فِيهِ
وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمۡ

وَلَهُۥ
مَن
فِي
ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ
وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ
وَمَنۡ
عِندَهُۥ

Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to Him, and those that are with Him are never too proud to worship Him, nor do they grow weary;
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
يُسَبِّحُونَ
ٱلَّيۡلَ
وَٱلنَّهَارَ
لَا
يَفۡتُرُونَ
٢٠
they glorify Him tirelessly night and day.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
أَمِ
ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ
ءَالِهَةٗ
مِّنَ
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
هُمۡ
يُنشِرُونَ

Have they chosen any gods from the earth who can give life to the dead?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
لَوۡ
كَانَ
فِيهِمَآ
ءَالِهَةٌ
إِلَّا
ٱللَّهُ
لَفَسَدَتَاۚ

ٱللَّهِ
رَبِّ
ٱلۡعَرۡشِ
عَمَّا
يَصِفُونَ

If there had been in the heavens or earth any gods but Him, both heavens and earth would be in ruins: God, Lord of the Throne, is far above the things they say:

يُسۡـَٔلُ
عَمَّا
يَفۡعَلُ
وَهُمۡ
يُسۡـَٔلُونَ

He cannot be called to account for anything He does, whereas they will be called to account.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
أَمِ
ٱتَّخَذُواْ
مِن
دُونِهِۦٓ
ءَالِهَةٗۖ
قُلۡ
هَاتُواْ
بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡۖ
هَٰذَا
ذِكۡرُ
مَن
مَّعِيَ
وَذِكۡرُ
مَن
قَبۡلِيۚ

أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ
لَا
يَعۡلَمُونَ
ٱلۡحَقَّۖ
فَهُم
مُّعۡرِضُونَ
٢٤
Have they chosen to worship other gods instead of Him? Say, ‘Bring your proof. This is the Scripture for those who are with me and the Scripture for those who went before me.’ But most of them do not recognize the truth, so they pay no heed.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
وَمَآ
أَرۡسَلۡنَا
مِن
قَبۡلِكَ
مِن
رَّسُولٍ
إِلَّا
نُوحِيٓ
إِلَيۡهِ
أَنَّهُۥ
لَآ
إِلَٰهَ
إِلَّآ
أَنَا۠

لَا
يَسۡبِقُونَهُۥ
بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ
وَهُم
بِأَمۡرِهِۦ
يَعۡمَلُونَ
٢٧
they do not speak before He speaks and they act by His command.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
يَعۡلَمُ
مَا
بَيۡنَ
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
وَمَا
خَلۡفَهُمۡ
وَلَا
يَشۡفَعُونَ
إِلَّا
لِمَنِ
ٱرۡتَضَىٰ
وَهُم
مِّنۡ
خَشۡيَتِهِۦ
مُشۡفِقُونَ
