أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡأٓلِهَةَ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدًاۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَشَيۡءٌ عُجَابٞ
AjaAAala alalihata ilahan wahidan inna hatha lashayon AAujabun

Ma samiAAna bihatha fee almillati alakhirati in hatha illa ikhtilaqun
"We never heard (the like) of this among the people of these latter days: this is nothing but a made-up tale!"
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَاۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّن ذِكۡرِيۚ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ
Aonzila AAalayhi alththikru min baynina bal hum fee shakkin min thikree bal lamma yathooqoo AAathabi
"What! has the Message been sent to him - (Of all persons) among us?"...but they are in doubt concerning My (Own) Message! Nay, they have not yet tasted My Punishment!

Am AAindahum khazainu rahmati rabbika alAAazeezi alwahhabi
Or have they the treasures of the mercy of thy Lord,- the Exalted in Power, the Grantor of Bounties without measure?
أَمۡ لَهُم مُّلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۖ فَلۡيَرۡتَقُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَسۡبَٰبِ
Am lahum mulku alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma falyartaqoo fee alasbabi
Or have they the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all between? If so, let them mount up with the ropes and means (to reach that end)!
جُندٞ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهۡزُومٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ
Jundun ma hunalika mahzoomun mina alahzabi
But there - will be put to flight even a host of confederates.
كَذَّبَتۡ قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٖ وَعَادٞ وَفِرۡعَوۡنُ ذُو ٱلۡأَوۡتَادِ
Kaththabat qablahum qawmu noohin waAAadun wafirAAawnu thoo alawtadi
Before them (were many who) rejected messengers,- the people of Noah, and ´Ad, and Pharaoh, the Lord of Stakes,
وَثَمُودُ وَقَوۡمُ لُوطٖ وَأَصۡحَٰبُ لۡـَٔيۡكَةِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابُ
Wathamoodu waqawmu lootin waashabu alaykati olaika alahzabu
And Thamud, and the people of Lut, and the Companions of the Wood; - such were the Confederates.
إِن كُلٌّ إِلَّا كَذَّبَ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ
In kullun illa kaththaba alrrusula fahaqqa AAiqabi
Not one (of them) but rejected the messengers, but My punishment came justly and inevitably (on them).
وَمَا يَنظُرُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِلَّا صَيۡحَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ مَّا لَهَا مِن فَوَاقٖ
Wama yanthuru haolai illa sayhatan wahidatan ma laha min fawaqin
These (today) only wait for a single mighty Blast, which (when it comes) will brook no delay.
وَقَالُواْ رَبَّنَا عَجِّل لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبۡلَ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡحِسَابِ
Waqaloo rabbana AAajjil lana qittana qabla yawmi alhisabi
They say: "Our Lord! hasten to us our sentence (even) before the Day of Account!"
ٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلۡأَيۡدِۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ
Isbir AAala ma yaqooloona waothkur AAabdana dawooda tha alaydi innahu awwabun
Have patience at what they say, and remember our servant David, the man of strength: for he ever turned (to Allah).
