أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Then will you not be reminded?

أَمۡ لَكُمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٞ مُّبِينٞ

Or do you have a clear authority?[1]

فَأۡتُواْ بِكِتَٰبِكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.

وَجَعَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُۥ وَبَيۡنَ ٱلۡجِنَّةِ نَسَبٗاۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمَتِ ٱلۡجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمۡ لَمُحۡضَرُونَ

And they have made [i.e., claimed] between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought [to punishment].

سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Exalted is AllŒh above what they describe,

إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Except the chosen servants of AllŒh [who do not share in that sin].

فَإِنَّكُمۡ وَمَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

مَآ أَنتُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

إِلَّا مَنۡ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.[1]

وَمَامِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٞ مَّعۡلُومٞ

[The angels say],[1] "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.[2]

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].

وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ

And indeed, we are those who exalt AllŒh."

وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ

And indeed, they [i.e., the disbelievers] used to say,[1]

لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,

لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

We would have been the chosen servants of AllŒh."

فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

But they disbelieved in it,[1] so they are going to know.

وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

And Our word [i.e., decree] has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,

إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory

وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers [i.e., the believers] will be those who overcome.[1]

فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

So, [O Muúammad], leave them for a time.

وَأَبۡصِرۡهُمۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ

Then for Our punishment are they impatient?

فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمۡ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

وَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ

And leave them for a time.

وَأَبۡصِرۡ فَسَوۡفَ يُبۡصِرُونَ

And see, for they are going to see.

سُبۡحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلۡعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.

وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

And peace upon the messengers.

وَٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

And praise to AllŒh, Lord of the worlds.

صٓۚ وَٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ ذِي ٱلذِّكۡرِ

êŒd.[1] By the QurÕŒn containing reminder...[2]

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِي عِزَّةٖ وَشِقَاقٖ

But those who disbelieve are in pride and dissension.
