لَاهِیَةࣰ قُلُوبُهُمۡۗ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجۡوَى ٱلَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا۟ هَلۡ هَـٰذَاۤ إِلَّا بَشَرࣱ مِّثۡلُكُمۡۖ أَفَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلسِّحۡرَ وَأَنتُمۡ تُبۡصِرُونَ ۝٣

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

Their hearts are preoccupied, and those who are wicked confer privately: "Is he not but a mortal like you? Would you accept this magic while you know?"

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

They said: "No, these are just bad dreams; no, he made it up; no, he is a poet. So let him bring us a sign like those who were sent before."

وَمَاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا قَبۡلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالࣰا نُّوحِیۤ إِلَیۡهِمۡۖ فَسۡءَلُوۤا۟ أَهۡلَ ٱلذِّكۡرِ إِن كُنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٧

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We did not send before you except men whom We inspired to. So ask the people of the reminder if you do not know.

wamā arsalnā qablaka illā rijālan nūḥī ilayhim fasalū ahla l-dhik'ri in kuntum lā taʿlamūn

21:8

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We did not make for them forms that do not need to eat, nor were they immortal.

21:9

ثُمَّ صَدَقۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡوَعۡدَ فَأَنجَیۡنَـٰهُمۡ وَمَن نَّشَاۤءُ وَأَهۡلَكۡنَا ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِینَ ۝٩

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

Then We fulfilled the promise to them, so We saved them and whom We pleased, and We destroyed the overindulgers.

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

We have sent down to you a Book in which is your remembrance. Do you not comprehend?

21:11

وَكَمۡ قَصَمۡنَا مِن قَرۡیَةࣲ كَانَتۡ ظَالِمَةࣰ وَأَنشَأۡنَا بَعۡدَهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِینَ ۝١١

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And how many a town have We destroyed because it was wicked, and We established after them a different people?

21:12

فَلَمَّاۤ أَحَسُّوا۟ بَأۡسَنَاۤ إِذَا هُم مِّنۡهَا یَرۡكُضُونَ ۝١٢

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

So it was that when they perceived Our power, they were running from it.

falammā aḥassū basanā idhā hum min'hā yarkuḍūn

21:13

لَا تَرۡكُضُوا۟ وَٱرۡجِعُوۤا۟ إِلَىٰ مَاۤ أُتۡرِفۡتُمۡ فِیهِ وَمَسَـٰكِنِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُسۡءَلُونَ ۝١٣

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

Do not run, and come back to that which you were living lavishly in and your homes; so that you will be questioned.

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them for entertainment.

21:17

لَوۡ أَرَدۡنَاۤ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوࣰا لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَـٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّاۤ إِن كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِینَ ۝١٧

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

If We wanted to be amused, We could have done so from what is already with Us, if that is what We wished to do.

21:18

بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ فَیَدۡمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقࣱۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡوَیۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ ۝١٨

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

No, We cast with the truth upon the falsehood, so it disrupts it, and then it retreats. And woe to you for what you have described.

bal naqdhifu bil-ḥaqi ʿalā l-bāṭili fayadmaghuhu fa-idhā huwa zāhiqun walakumu l-waylu mimmā taṣifūn

21:19

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And to Him is whoever is in the heavens and on the earth. And those who are near Him are not too proud to serve Him, nor do they complain.

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

If there were gods in them except for God, then they would have been ruined. Glory be to God, the Lord of the Throne from what they describe.

law kāna fīhimā ālihatun illā l-lahu lafasadatā fasub'ḥāna l-lahi rabbi l-ʿarshi ʿammā yaṣifūn

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

Or have they taken gods besides Him? Say: "Bring your proof. This is a reminder of those with me and a reminder of those before me." But, most of them do not know the truth, so they turn away.

ami ittakhadhū min dūnihi ālihatan qul hātū bur'hānakum hādhā dhik'ru man maʿiya wadhik'ru man qablī bal aktharuhum lā yaʿlamūna l-ḥaqa fahum muʿ'riḍūn

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We did not send any messenger before you except that We inspired him that: "There is no god except Me, so serve Me."

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

They do not speak ahead of Him, and on His command they act.

21:28

یَعۡلَمُ مَا بَیۡنَ أَیۡدِیهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا یَشۡفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنۡ خَشۡیَتِهِۦ مُشۡفِقُونَ ۝٢٨

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

He knows their present and their future, and they cannot intercede unless it is for those whom He is pleased with. And, from His concern, they are worried.

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And whoever of them says: "I am a god besides Him," then that person We will punish with Hell. It is such that We punish the wicked.

21:30

أَوَ لَمۡ یَرَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوۤا۟ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقࣰا فَفَتَقۡنَـٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَاۤءِ كُلَّ شَیۡءٍ حَیٍّۚ أَفَلَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ ۝٣٠

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

Have those who rejected not seen that the heavens and the earth were one piece, so We split them apart? And that We have made from the water everything that lives. Will they not believe?

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We made on the earth stabilizers so that it would not tumble with them, and We made in it wide paths that they may be guided.

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We made the sky a protective ceiling; and yet, from its signs they are turning away!

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We did not grant to any mortal that came before you immortality. If you are going to die, would they be immortal?

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

Every soul will taste death. And We burden you with evil and good as a test, and it is to Us that you will return.

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And when those who reject see you, they take you for mockery: "Is this the one who speaks about your gods!" While in the remembrance of the Almighty they are rejecters!

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And messengers before you were mocked, but those who ridiculed were then surrounded by that which they mocked!

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

It was Us who gave luxury to these and their fathers, until they grew old with age. Do they not see that We come to the land and reduce it from its edges? Will they be able to win?

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And if a trace of the torment of your Lord touches them, they will say: "Woe to us, we have been wicked!"

The Monotheist Group(2017 Edition)

And We place the balances of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so that no soul will be wronged in the least. Even if it was the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it. And We are enough as a Reckoner.
