(is) like (the) example
ٱلَّذِى
(of) the one who
ٱسْتَوْقَدَ
kindled
نَارًا
a fire,
فَلَمَّآ
then, when
أَضَآءَتْ

مَا

حَوْلَهُۥ
(was) around him
ذَهَبَ took away ٱللَّهُ Allah بِنُورِهِمْ their light وَتَرَكَهُمْ and left them فِى in ظُلُمَٰتٍ darkness[es], لَّا (so) not يُبْصِرُونَ (do) they see. صُمٌّۢ Deaf,
بُكْمٌ dumb, عُمْىٌ blind, فَهُمْ so they لَا not يَرْجِعُونَ [they] will not return. أَوْ Or كَصَيِّبٍ like a rainstorm مِّنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky فِيهِ in it (are)
ظُلُمَٰتٌ darkness[es], وَرَعْدٌ and thunder, وَبَرْقٌ and lightning. يَجْعَلُونَ They put أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ their fingers فِىٓ in ءَاذَانِهِم their ears مِّنَ from
ٱلصَّوَٰعِقِ the thunderclaps حَذَرَ (in) fear (of) ٱلْمَوْتِ [the] death. وَٱللَّهُ And Allah مُحِيطٌۢ (is) [the One Who] encompasses بِٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers. يَكَادُ Almost ٱلْبَرْقُ the lightning
يَخْطَفُ snatches away أَبْصَٰرَهُمْ their sight. كُلَّمَآ Whenever أَضَآءَ it flashes لَهُم for them مَّشَوْا۟ they walk فِيهِ in it, وَإِذَآ and when أَظْلَمَ it darkens عَلَيْهِمْ on them
قَامُوا۟ they stand (still). وَلَوْ And if شَآءَ had willed ٱللَّهُ Allah, لَذَهَبَ He would certainly have taken away بِسَمْعِهِمْ their hearing, وَأَبْصَٰرِهِمْ and their sight. إِنَّ Indeed, ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on
كُلِّ every شَىْءٍ thing قَدِيرٌ All-Powerful. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا O ٱلنَّاسُ mankind! ٱعْبُدُوا۟ worship رَبَّكُمُ your Lord, ٱلَّذِى the One Who
خَلَقَكُمْ created you وَٱلَّذِينَ and those مِن from قَبْلِكُمْ before you, لَعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تَتَّقُونَ become righteous. ٱلَّذِى The One Who جَعَلَ made لَكُمُ for you
ٱلْأَرْضَ the earth فِرَٰشًا a resting place وَٱلسَّمَآءَ and the sky بِنَآءً a canopy, وَأَنزَلَ and sent down مِنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky مَآءً water, فَأَخْرَجَ then brought forth
بِهِۦ therewith مِنَ [of] ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ the fruits رِزْقًا (as) provision لَّكُمْ for you. فَلَا So (do) not تَجْعَلُوا۟ set up لِلَّهِ to Allah أَندَادًا rivals وَأَنتُمْ while you
تَعْلَمُونَ [you] know. وَإِن And if كُنتُمْ you are فِى in رَيْبٍ doubt مِّمَّا about what نَزَّلْنَا We have revealed عَلَىٰ to عَبْدِنَا Our slave, فَأْتُوا۟ then produce
بِسُورَةٍ a chapter مِّن [of] مِّثْلِهِۦ like it وَٱدْعُوا۟ and call شُهَدَآءَكُم your witnesses مِّن from دُونِ other than ٱللَّهِ Allah إِن if
كُنتُمْ you are صَٰدِقِينَ truthful. فَإِن But if لَّمْ not تَفْعَلُوا۟ you do, وَلَن and never تَفْعَلُوا۟ will you do, فَٱتَّقُوا۟ then fear ٱلنَّارَ the Fire
ٱلَّتِى whose وَقُودُهَا [its] fuel ٱلنَّاسُ (is) [the] men وَٱلْحِجَارَةُ and [the] stones, أُعِدَّتْ prepared لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ for the disbelievers.
