بَلۡ نَقۡذِفُ بِٱلۡحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلۡبَٰطِلِ فَيَدۡمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٞۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلۡوَيۡلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ 18

18        (One of the objectives of creation of heavens and the earth is that We send down the Quran against the falsehood). In fact, We strike the falsehood with truth, hence the truth knocks out the brain of falsehood, and suddenly the falsehood is wiped out. And there is the destruction for you also, for the false accusation you make against Allah (e.g. that He has created the universe as a mere play or Allah has a son).

وَلَهُۥ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَنۡ عِندَهُۥ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَلَا يَسۡتَحۡسِرُونَ 19

19        Whoever is in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. And those who are near Him (i.e. angels), are not too proud to worship Him nor do they feel tired (worshiping Him).

يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ لَا يَفۡتُرُونَ 20

20        They (i.e. angels) glorify His praises night and day, and do not slacken about it.

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ ءَالِهَةٗ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هُمۡ يُنشِرُونَ 21

21        Or have they taken gods from the (creatures of) the earth who can put life in a dead body?

لَوۡ كَانَ فِيهِمَآ ءَالِهَةٌ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَاۚ فَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ 22

22        Had there been gods in the heaven and the earth besides Allah, then the functioning of both of them would have failed (due to the differences in two gods. Since it did not fail, hence there is one God only). So Glorified is Allah, the Creator of the Throne, above all that (evil) they associate with Him.

لَا يُسۡ‍َٔلُ عَمَّا يَفۡعَلُ وَهُمۡ يُسۡ‍َٔلُونَ 23

23        He cannot be questioned about what He does, while they will be questioned.

أَمِ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةٗۖ قُلۡ هَاتُواْ بُرۡهَٰنَكُمۡۖ هَٰذَا ذِكۡرُ مَن مَّعِيَ وَذِكۡرُ مَن قَبۡلِيۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٱلۡحَقَّۖ فَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ 24

24        Or have they taken for worship other gods besides Allah? Say [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)]: “Bring your proof. This Quran is the Reminder for those with me and Reminder for those before me (i.e. the Quran and earlier Scriptures remind the people to worship one God only).” In fact, most of the people don’t know the Truth; hence they turn away from it.

وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا نُوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنَا۠ فَٱعۡبُدُونِ 25

25        And We did not send any mes-senger before you [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)] but We revealed to him: “None has the right to be worshipped ex-cept I (Allah), hence worship Me (Alone).”

وَقَالُواْ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وَلَدٗاۗ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥۚ بَلۡ عِبَادٞ مُّكۡرَمُونَ 26

26        And they say: “The Most Gracious (Allah) has begotten a son.” Glory be to Him! In fact, they (whom they call His children) are honoured slaves (of Allah).

لَا يَسۡبِقُونَهُۥ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَهُم بِأَمۡرِهِۦ يَعۡمَلُونَ 27

27        They (the angels) don’t speak (out of respect to Him) until He has spoken and they obey His Command.

يَعۡلَمُ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُمۡ وَلَا يَشۡفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنۡ خَشۡيَتِهِۦ مُشۡفِقُونَ 28

28        He knows (all their affairs) including what is before them and is behind them. And they cannot intercede except for him with whom Allah is pleased. And they tremble with fear of Allah (this Verse proves that even angels will intercede on the Day of Judgement).

۞وَمَن يَقُلۡ مِنۡهُمۡ إِنِّيٓ إِلَٰهٞ مِّن دُونِهِۦ فَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ 29

29        And if any of them should say: “I am a god besides Him.” So We should reward him with Hell. Thus We reward the wrong-doers.

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقٗا فَفَتَقۡنَٰهُمَاۖ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ حَيٍّۚ أَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ 30

30        Have the disbelievers not seen that the heavens and the earth were closed (i.e. there was no rain from the sky and no vegetation from the earth), then We opened them both (i.e. rain started from the sky and vegetation from the earth, Tafseer Ibn Kathir). And We created every living thing from water (i.e. its creation and survival depends on water). (After listening to all this) Will they not then believe?

وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ رَوَٰسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمۡ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِيهَا فِجَاجٗا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ 31

31        And We have placed the mountains on the earth lest it should shake146 with them, and We have made wide highways in it so that they can reach their destinations. 

وَجَعَلۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ سَقۡفٗا مَّحۡفُوظٗاۖ وَهُمۡ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِهَا مُعۡرِضُونَ 32

32        And We have made the sky a safe roof (e.g. sky prevents dangerous radiations reaching the earth), and they do not pay attention to His signs. 

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلَّيۡلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ فِي فَلَكٖ يَسۡبَحُونَ 33

33 And Allah has created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon each floating in its (specific) orbit.

وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا لِبَشَرٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ ٱلۡخُلۡدَۖ أَفَإِيْن مِّتَّ فَهُمُ ٱلۡخَٰلِدُونَ 34

34        And We have not made any human being immortal before you [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!], then if you die, would they live forever?

كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَنَبۡلُوكُم بِٱلشَّرِّ وَٱلۡخَيۡرِ فِتۡنَةٗۖ وَإِلَيۡنَا تُرۡجَعُونَ 35

35        Everyone is going to taste death. And We make everyone of you experience good and bad time to test you. And (finally) you will be returned to Us.

وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي يَذۡكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ 36

36        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] And whenever the disbelievers see you, they mock at you (saying): “Is this the one who talks (bad) about your gods?”(Hence, they object to your denial of their gods) while they disbelieve at the mention of the Most Gracious (Allah). (In fact, their disbelief of the Most Gracious deserves mockery). (Also Surah Al-Furqan:41)

خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلٖۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ 37

37        Man is created (by his nature) loving haste. (Allah says): “I shall soon show My signs (i.e. torments). So do not ask Me to hasten it.”
