The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

That is from what your Lord has inspired to you of the wisdom. And do not make with God another god, or you will be cast into Hell, blameworthy and regretting.

أَفَأَصۡفَىٰكُمۡ رَبُّكُم بِٱلۡبَنِینَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةِ إِنَـٰثًاۚ إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوۡلًا عَظِیمࣰا ۝٤٠

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

Has your Lord preferred for you the males, while He takes the females as angels? You are indeed saying a grave thing!

afa-aṣfākum rabbukum bil-banīna wa-ittakhadha mina l-malāikati ināthan innakum lataqūlūna qawlan ʿaẓīma

وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا فِی هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ لِیَذَّكَّرُوا۟ وَمَا یَزِیدُهُمۡ إِلَّا نُفُورࣰا ۝٤١

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And We have dispatched in this Qur'an that they may remember, but it only increases their aversion!

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

Say: "If there had been gods with Him as they say, then they would have tried to gain a way to the Throne."

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

Be He glorified and exalted above what they say, a great falsehood.

17:44

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتُ ٱلسَّبۡعُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِیهِنَّۚ وَإِن مِّن شَیۡءٍ إِلَّا یُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفۡقَهُونَ تَسۡبِیحَهُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِیمًا غَفُورࣰا ۝٤٤

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

He is glorified by the seven heavens and the earth and that which is in them, and there is not a thing except it glorifies His praise, but you do not comprehend their glorification. He is Compassionate, Forgiving.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And when you read the Qur'an, We place between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter an invisible barrier.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And we place shields over their hearts, that they should not understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you mention your Lord in the Qur'an alone, they run away turning their backs in aversion.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

We are fully aware of what they are listening to, for they are listening to you but while they are in private counsel the wicked say: "You are following a man who is bewitched!"

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

See how they put forth the examples for you. They have gone astray, and cannot come to the path.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And they said: "When we are bones and fragments, will we then be resurrected to a new creation?

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

"Or a creation that is held dear in your chests." They will say: "Who will return us?" Say: "The One who initiated you the first time." They will shake their heads to you and say: "When is this?" Say: "Perhaps it is near."

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

The Day He calls you and you respond by His grace, and you think that you only stayed a little while.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And say to My servants to speak that which is best. The devil makes bitterness between them. The devil is to man a clear enemy.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

Your Lord is fully aware of you, if He wishes He will have mercy on you, or if He wishes He will punish you. And We have not sent you as a guardian over them.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And your Lord is fully aware of who is in the heavens and the earth. And We have preferred some prophets over others, and We gave David the Psalms.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

Say: "Call on those you have claimed besides Him. For they have no power to remove harm from you or shift it."

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

The ones you call on, they are themselves seeking a path to their Lord which is nearer, and they desire His mercy, and they fear His retribution. The retribution of your Lord is to be feared!

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And there is not a town before the Day of Resurrection that We will not destroy it, or punish it with a severe punishment. This has been written in the record.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And what stopped Us from sending the signs except that the previous people disbelieved in them. And We sent to Thamud the camel with foresight, but they did her wrong. And We do not send the signs except to make them fearful.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And when We said to you: "Your Lord has encompassed the people." And We did not make the vision that We showed you except as a test for the people, and the tree that was cursed in the Qur'an. And We are making them fearful, but it only increases their transgression.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

"And entice whoever you can of them with your voice, and mobilize all your forces and men against them, and you may share with them in their money and children, and promise them." But the devil promises nothing but deceit.

Your Lord is the One Who drives the ships for you in the sea so that you may seek of His bounty. He is Merciful towards you.

The Monotheist Group(2013 Edition)

And if harm should afflict you at sea, then all those whom you called on besides Him suddenly vanish from you except for Him. So when He saves you to dry land, you turn away. Man is ever rejecting.

Are you confident that He will not cause this side of the land to swallow you up, or that He would not send a violent storm against you? Then you will find no caretaker for yourselves.

Or are you confident that He would not send you back again in it, then He would send against you a violent wind and cause you to drown for your rejection? Then you will not find a second chance with Us.

And they nearly diverted you from what We inspired to you so that you would fabricate something different against Us, and then they would have taken you as a friend!
