لَا تَجْـَٔرُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ ۖ إِنَّكُم مِّنَّا لَا تُنصَرُونَ ﴿٦٥﴾
Lā tajʾarū al-yawma innakum minnā lā tunṣarūn
Supplicate not this day! Assuredly ye will not be helped by Us.
قَدْ كَانَتْ ءَايَـٰتِى تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَـٰبِكُمْ تَنكِصُونَ ﴿٦٦﴾
Qad kānat āyātī tutlā ʿalaykum fakuntum ʿalā aʿqābikum tankiṣūn
My revelations were recited unto you, but ye used to turn back on your heels,
مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِۦ سَـٰمِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾
Mustakbirīna bihi sāmiran tahjurūn
In scorn thereof. Nightly did ye rave together.
أَفَلَمْ يَدَّبَّرُوا۟ ٱلْقَوْلَ أَمْ جَآءَهُم مَّا لَمْ يَأْتِ ءَابَآءَهُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٦٨﴾
Afalam yaddabbarū al-qawla am jāʾahum mā lam yaʾti ābāʾahumu al-awwalīn
Have they not pondered the Word, or hath that come unto them which came not unto their fathers of old?
أَمْ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا۟ رَسُولَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾
Am lam yaʿrifū rasūlahum fahum lahu munkirūn
Or know they not their messenger, and so reject him?
أَمْ يَقُولُونَ بِهِۦ جِنَّةٌۢ ۚ بَلْ جَآءَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَـٰرِهُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾
Am yaqūlūna bihi jinnatun bal jāʾahum bil-ḥaqqi waʾaktharuhum lilḥaqqi kārihūn
Or say they: There is a madness in him? Nay, but he bringeth them the Truth; and most of them are haters of the Truth.
وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ بَلْ أَتَيْنَـٰهُم بِذِكْرِهِمْ فَهُمْ عَن ذِكْرِهِم مُّعْرِضُونَ ﴿٧١﴾
Walawi ittabaʿa al-ḥaqqu ahwāʾahum lafasadati as-samāwātu wal-arḍu waman fīhinna bal ataynāhum bidhikrihim fahum ʿan dhikrihim muʿriḍūn
And if the Truth had followed their desires, verily the heavens and the earth and whosoever is therein had been corrupted. Nay, We have brought them their Reminder, but from their Reminder they now turn away.
أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ خَرْجًا فَخَرَاجُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ﴿٧٢﴾
Am tasʾaluhum kharjan fakharāju rabbika khayrun wahuwa khayru ar-rāziqīn
Or dost thou ask of them (O Muhammad) any tribute? But the bounty of thy Lord is better, for He is Best of all who make provision.
وَإِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٧٣﴾
Waʾinnaka latadʿūhum ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm
And lo! thou summonest them indeed unto a straight path.
وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَـٰكِبُونَ ﴿٧٤﴾
Waʾinna alladhīna lā yuʾminūna bil-ākhirati ʿani aṣ-ṣirāṭi lanākibūn
And lo! those who believe not in the Hereafter are indeed astray from the path.
۞ وَلَوْ رَحِمْنَـٰهُمْ وَكَشَفْنَا مَا بِهِم مِّن ضُرٍّ لَّلَجُّوا۟ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ﴿٧٥﴾
Walaw raḥimnāhum wakashafnā mā bihim min ḍurrin lalajjū fī ṭughyānihim yaʿmahūn
Though We had mercy on them and relieved them of the harm afflicting them, they still would wander blindly on in their contumacy.
وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَـٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ فَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ﴿٧٦﴾
Walaqad akhadhnāhum bil-ʿadhābi famā istakānū lirabbihim wamā yataḍarraʿūn
Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray,
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ ﴿٧٧﴾
Ḥattā idhā fataḥnā ʿalayhim bāban dhā ʿadhābin shadīdin idhā hum fīhi mublisūn
Until, when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment, behold! they are aghast thereat.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرَ وَٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةَ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٧٨﴾
Wahuwa alladhī anshaʾa lakumu as-samʿa wal-abṣāra wal-afʾidata qalīlan mā tashkurūn
He it is Who hath created for you ears and eyes and hearts. Small thanks give ye!

Wahuwa alladhī dharaʾakum fī al-arḍi waʾilayhi tuḥsharūn
And He it is Who hath sown you broadcast in the earth, and unto Him ye will be gathered.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ ٱخْتِلَـٰفُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿٨٠﴾
Wahuwa alladhī yuḥyī wayumītu walahu ikhtilāfu allayli wan-nahāri afalā taʿqilūn
And He it is Who giveth life and causeth death, and His is the difference of night and day. Have ye then no sense?
بَلْ قَالُوا۟ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿٨١﴾
Bal qālū mithla mā qāla al-awwalūn
Nay, but they say the like of that which said the men of old;
قَالُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَـٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿٨٢﴾
Qālū aʾidhā mitnā wakunnā turāban waʿiẓāman aʾinnā lamabʿūthūn
They say: When we are dead and have become (mere) dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again?
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَـٰذَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَـٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿٨٣﴾
Laqad wuʿidnā naḥnu waʾābāʾunā hādhā min qablu in hādhā illā asāṭīru al-awwalīn
We were already promised this, we and our forefathers. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old.

Allah hath not chosen any son, nor is there any god along with Him; else would each god have assuredly championed that which he created, and some of them would assuredly have overcome others. Glorified be Allah above all that they allege.
