٢
The revelation of this Book is from Allah—the Almighty, All-Wise.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٣
We only created the heavens and the earth and everything in between for a purpose and an appointed term. Yet the disbelievers are turning away from what they have been warned about.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٤
Ask ˹them, O  Prophet˺, “Have you considered whatever ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created on earth! Or do they have a share in ˹the creation of˺ the heavens? Bring me a scripture ˹revealed˺ before this ˹Quran˺ or a shred of knowledge, if what you say is true.”

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٥
And who could be more astray than those who call upon others besides Allah—˹others˺ that cannot respond to them until the Day of Judgment, and are ˹even˺ unaware of their calls?

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٦
And when ˹such˺ people will be gathered together, those ˹gods˺ will be their enemies and will disown their worship.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٧
Whenever Our clear revelations are recited to them, the disbelievers say of the truth when it has come to them, “This is pure magic.”

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٨
Or do they say, “He1 has fabricated this ˹Quran˺!”? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If I have done so, then there is nothing whatsoever you can do to save me from Allah. He knows best what ˹slurs˺ you indulge about it. Sufficient is He as a Witness between you and me. And He is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

٩
Say, “I am not the first messenger ever sent, nor do I know what will happen to me or you. I only follow what is revealed to me. And I am only sent with a clear warning.”

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

١٠
Ask ˹them, O  Prophet˺, “Consider if this ˹Quran˺ is ˹truly˺ from Allah and you deny it, and a witness from the Children of Israel attests to it and then believes,1 whereas you act arrogantly. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.”
