And We have certainly presented to the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example. But, [O Muhammad], if you should bring them a sign, the disbelievers will surely say, "You [believers] are but falsifiers."
Verily We have coined for mankind in this Qur'an all kinds of similitudes; and indeed if thou camest unto them with a miracle, those who disbelieve would verily exclaim: Ye are but tricksters!
Kathalika yatbaAAu Allahu AAala quloobi allatheena la yaAAlamoona
كذلك يطبع الله على قلوب الذين لا يعلمون
Thus does Allah seal the hearts of those who do not know.
Thus doth Allah seal the hearts of those who know not.
Faisbir inna waAAda Allahi haqqun wala yastakhiffannaka allatheena la yooqinoona
فاصبر إن وعد الله حق ۖ ولا يستخفنك الذين لا يوقنون
So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth. And let them not disquiet you who are not certain [in faith].
So have patience (O Muhammad)! Allah's promise is the very truth, and let not those who have no certainty make thee impatient.
