لِقَآءَنَا (for the) meeting (with) Us, ٱئْتِ "Bring us بِقُرْءَانٍ a Quran غَيْرِ other (than) هَٰذَآ this أَوْ or بَدِّلْهُ change it." قُلْ Say, مَا "Not يَكُونُ (it) is
لِىٓ for me أَنْ that أُبَدِّلَهُۥ I change it مِن of تِلْقَآئِ my own accord. *[meaning includes next or prev. word] نَفْسِىٓ my own accord. *[meaning includes next or prev. word] إِنْ Not أَتَّبِعُ I follow إِلَّا except مَا what يُوحَىٰٓ is revealed إِلَىَّ to me.
إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I أَخَافُ [I] fear إِنْ if عَصَيْتُ I were to disobey رَبِّى my Lord, عَذَابَ (the) punishment يَوْمٍ (of) a Day, عَظِيمٍ Great." قُل Say,
لَّوْ "If شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah, مَا not تَلَوْتُهُۥ I (would) have recited it عَلَيْكُمْ to you, وَلَآ and not أَدْرَىٰكُم He (would) have made it known to you. *[meaning includes next or prev. word] بِهِۦ He (would) have made it known to you. *[meaning includes next or prev. word]
فَقَدْ Verily, لَبِثْتُ I have stayed فِيكُمْ among you عُمُرًا a lifetime مِّن before it. *[meaning includes next or prev. word] قَبْلِهِۦٓ before it. *[meaning includes next or prev. word] أَفَلَا Then will not تَعْقِلُونَ you use reason?"
فَمَنْ So who أَظْلَمُ (is) more wrong مِمَّنِ than he who ٱفْتَرَىٰ invents عَلَى against ٱللَّهِ Allah كَذِبًا a lie أَوْ or كَذَّبَ denies بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦٓ His Signs?
إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, لَا not يُفْلِحُ will succeed ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ the criminals. وَيَعْبُدُونَ And they worship مِن from دُونِ other than ٱللَّهِ Allah
مَا that (which) لَا (does) not يَضُرُّهُمْ harm them وَلَا and not يَنفَعُهُمْ benefit them, وَيَقُولُونَ and they say, هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ "These شُفَعَٰٓؤُنَا (are) our intercessors
عِندَ with ٱللَّهِ Allah." قُلْ Say, أَتُنَبِّـُٔونَ "Do you inform ٱللَّهَ Allah بِمَا of what لَا not يَعْلَمُ he knows فِى in ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ the heavens وَلَا and not
فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth?" سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ Glorified is He وَتَعَٰلَىٰ and Exalted عَمَّا above what يُشْرِكُونَ they associate (with Him). وَمَا And not
كَانَ was ٱلنَّاسُ the mankind إِلَّآ but أُمَّةً a community, وَٰحِدَةً one, فَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ then they differed. وَلَوْلَا And had (it) not been كَلِمَةٌ a word
سَبَقَتْ (that) preceded مِن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord, لَقُضِىَ surely, it (would) have been judged بَيْنَهُمْ between them فِيمَا concerning what فِيهِ [therein] يَخْتَلِفُونَ they differ.
وَيَقُولُونَ And they say, لَوْلَآ "Why not أُنزِلَ is sent down عَلَيْهِ to him ءَايَةٌ a Sign مِّن from رَّبِّهِۦ his Lord?" فَقُلْ So say, إِنَّمَا "Only
ٱلْغَيْبُ the unseen لِلَّهِ (is) for Allah, فَٱنتَظِرُوٓا۟ so wait; إِنِّى indeed, I am مَعَكُم with you مِّنَ among ٱلْمُنتَظِرِينَ the ones who wait."
