3. Inna jaAAalnahu quranan AAarabiyyan laAAallakum taAAqiloona;

   Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Quran, so that you may use your intellect (understand and evaluate it)!

4. Wainnahu fee ommi alkitabi ladayna laAAaliyyun hakeemun;

   And indeed, it is in the Mother of Books (the knowledge of Allah) in Our presence, high in dignity (Aliy) and full of wisdom (Hakim).

5. Afanadribu AAankumu alththikra safhan an kuntum qawman musrifeena;

   And many Nabis We have disclosed within previous peoples.

7. Wama yateehim min nabiyyin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona;

   But whenever a Nabi came to them, they mocked what he brought.

8. Faahlakna ashadda minhum batshan wamada mathalu alawwaleena;

   So We destroyed many nations, mightier than them, because of it... The former people became history full of exemplary lessons!

9. Walain saaltahum man khalaqa alssamawati waalarda layaqoolunna khalaqahunna alAAazeezu alAAaleemu;

   Indeed, if you were to ask them, “Who created the heavens and the earth?” They would surely say, “The Aziz and Aleem One.”

10. Allathee jaAAala lakumu alarda mahdan wajaAAala lakum feeha subulan laAAallakum tahtadoona;

14. Wainna ila rabbina lamunqaliboona;

    “We will surely reach our Rabb (through continuous transformation)!”

15. WajaAAaloo lahu min AAibadihi juzan inna alinsana lakafoorun mubeenun;

    But they attributed a portion of His servants to Him (denied His Absolute Oneness and assuming Him to be made up of parts, claimed He had a son)... Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful!

16. Ami ittakhatha mimma yakhluqu banatin waasfakum bialbaneena;

    Or has He taken the daughters for Himself, out of His creation, and left the sons for you?

17. Waitha bushshira ahaduhum bima daraba lilrrahmani mathalan thalla wajhuhu muswaddan wahuwa katheemun;

    Or do you attribute the one brought up in ornaments (daughters), who you consider is unable to engage in an argument (to Allah)!

    They defined the servant angels of Allah as females! Were they witnesses to their creation? Their testimony is recorded; they will be questioned!

20. Waqaloo law shaa alrrahmanu ma AAabadnahum ma lahum bithalika min AAilmin in hum illa yakhrusoona;

    They said, “Had Rahman willed, we would not have served them”... They have no knowledge (evidence, certainty) of that... They only talk nonsense based on mere assumptions.

21. Am ataynahum kitaban min qablihi fahum bihi mustamsikoona;

    Or did We give them the knowledge (Book) before this on which they are basing their claims?

22. Bal qaloo inna wajadna abaana AAala ommatin wainna AAala atharihim muhtadoona;

    On the contrary, they said, “We found our forefathers upon this religious understanding and we are guided to the reality upon their footsteps (conditionings – genes).

    Thus it is... To whichever people We disclosed a warner before you, its wealthy leaders said, “We found our forefathers upon this religious understanding and we follow their work (conditionings, genes).”

28. WajaAAalaha kalimatan baqiyatan fee AAaqibihi laAAallahum yarjiAAoona;

    He made this word a lasting thought throughout later generations, that perhaps they will turn back to the Truth.

29. Bal mattaAAtu haolai waabaahum hatta jaahumu alhaqqu warasoolun mubeenun;

    I made them and their forefathers enjoy of the world until there came to them the Truth and a clear Rasul.

30. Walamma jaahumu alhaqqu qaloo hatha sihrun wainna bihi kafiroona;

    Do they distribute the grace of your Rabb? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world... We raised some over others (in terms of wealth and rank) so that some may subjugate others... The grace of your Rabb is better than the things they accumulate (of wealth).

33. Walawla an yakoona alnnasu ommatan wahidatan lajaAAalna liman yakfuru bialrrahmani libuyootihim suqufan min fiddatin wamaAAarija AAalayha yathharoona;

    And if it were not that the people would become a community of a single way (through wealth, as wealth exhilarates externalized living and deprives one from inner wealth) surely We would have made, for those who deny that Rahman comprises their essence, houses with silver ceilings and silver staircases upon which to climb...

34. Walibuyootihim abwaban wasururan AAalayha yattakioona;

    And for their house, (silver) doors and couches to rest upon...

35. Wazukhrufan wain kullu thalika lamma mataAAu alhayati alddunya waalakhiratu AAinda rabbika lilmuttaqeena;

    And ornaments of gold! But all that is nothing but the temporary pleasures of the worldly life! And the eternal life to come is for those who are protected in the sight of their Rabb.

36. Waman yaAAshu AAan thikri alrrahmani nuqayyid lahu shaytanan fahuwa lahu qareenun;

    And whoever is blinded (with external things) from the remembrance of Rahman (remembering that his essential reality is composed of the names of Allah and thus from living the requirements of this), We appoint for him a Satan (a delusion; the idea that he is only the physical body and that life should be lived in pursuit of bodily pleasures) and this (belief) will become his (new) identity!

37. Wainnahum layasuddoonahum AAani alssabeeli wayahsaboona annahum muhtadoona;

    And indeed, these will avert them from the way (of the reality) while they think they are on the right path!

    When finally he came to Us, he said (to his friend), “I wish there was between you and I the distance between the two easts (an unreachable distance)... How wretched a friend you are!”

39. Walan yanfaAAakumu alyawma ith thalamtum annakum fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona;

    And never will they (feelings of regret, excuses, the desire to compensate) benefit you during this time! For you did wrong! You are partners (consciousness and the spirit-body) in suffering!

40. Afaanta tusmiAAu alssumma aw tahdee alAAumya waman kana fee dalalin mubeenin;

    Will you make the deaf hear? Or will you guide the blind and those who are in clear error?

41. Faimma nathhabanna bika fainna minhum muntaqimoona;

    Even if We were to take you (from the world) We will surely take revenge from them.

42. Aw nuriyannaka allathee waAAadnahum fainna AAalayhim muqtadiroona;

    Or We will show you what We have promised them... We have the power to do whatever We will to them!

43. Faistamsik biallathee oohiya ilayka innaka AAala siratin mustaqeemin;

    So adhere to that which has been revealed to you! Indeed you are on the right path.

    Indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people! Soon you will be questioned for what you are responsible!

45. Waisal man arsalna min qablika min rusulina ajaAAalna min dooni alrrahmani alihatan yuAAbadoona;

    And ask those We disclosed before you among Our Rasuls (study the knowledge that was given to them)! Have We formed gods to be served besides Rahman?

46. Walaqad arsalna moosa biayatina ila firAAawna wamalaihi faqala innee rasoolu rabbi alAAalameena;
