بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم تبارك الذي نزل الفرقان على عبده ليكون للعالمين نذيرا
Blessed is He Who sent down the Furqan upon His servant that he may be a warner to the nations;
الذي له ملك السماوات والأرض ولم يتخذ ولدا ولم يكن له شريك في الملك وخلق كل شيء فقدره تقديرا
He, Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and Who did not take to Himself a son, and Who has no associate in the kingdom, and Who created everything, then ordained for it a measure.
واتخذوا من دونه آلهة لا يخلقون شيئا وهم يخلقون ولا يملكون لأنفسهم ضرا ولا نفعا ولا يملكون موتا ولا حياة ولا نشورا
And they have taken besides Him gods, who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.
وقال الذين كفروا إن هذا إلا إفك افتراه وأعانه عليه قوم آخرون ۖ فقد جاءوا ظلما وزورا

وقالوا مال هذا الرسول يأكل الطعام ويمشي في الأسواق ۙ لولا أنزل إليه ملك فيكون معه نذيرا
And they say: What is the matter with this Apostle that he eats food and goes about in the markets; why has not an angel been sent down to him, so that he should have been a warner with him?
أو يلقى إليه كنز أو تكون له جنة يأكل منها ۚ وقال الظالمون إن تتبعون إلا رجلا مسحورا
Or (why is not) a treasure sent down to him, or he is made to have a garden from which he should eat? And the unjust say: You do not follow any but a man deprived of reason.
انظر كيف ضربوا لك الأمثال فضلوا فلا يستطيعون سبيلا

قالوا سبحانك ما كان ينبغي لنا أن نتخذ من دونك من أولياء ولكن متعتهم وآباءهم حتى نسوا الذكر وكانوا قوما بورا
They shall say: Glory be to Thee; it was not beseeming for us that we should take any guardians besides Thee, but Thou didst make them and their fathers to enjoy until they forsook the reminder, and they were a people in perdition,
فقد كذبوكم بما تقولون فما تستطيعون صرفا ولا نصرا ۚ ومن يظلم منكم نذقه عذابا كبيرا
So they shall indeed give you the lie in what you say, then you shall not be able to ward off or help, and whoever among you is unjust, We will make him taste a great chastisement.
