| 39. These injunctions are part of that wisdom which thy Lord has revealed to thee. And set not up with ALLAH any other god, lest thou be cast into Hell, condemned and rejected. 40. What ! has your Lord favoured you with sons and taken for Himself females from among the angels ? Surely, you say a grievous saying. 41. WE have explained the truth in this Qur'an in various ways that they may be admonished, but it only increase them in aversion. 42. Say, `Had there been other gods with HIM as they allege, then certainly by their help the idolaters would have sought out a way to the Owner of the Throne.' 43. Holy is HE, and Exalted far above that which they say. 44. The seven heavens and the earth and those that are therein extol HIS glory; and there is not a thing but glorifies HIM with HIS praise; but you understand not their glorification. Verily, HE is Forbearing, Most Merciful. 45. And when thou recitest the Qur'an, WE put between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter an invisible veil; 46. And WE put coverings over their hearts lest they should understand it, and in their ears a deafness. And when thou makest mention in the Qur'an of thy Lord alone, they turn their backs in aversion. 47. WE knowest best what they listen for, when they listen to thee, and when they confer in private, when the wrongdoers say, `You follow none but a man who is a victim of deception.' 48. See, how they coin similitudes for thee, and have in consequence gone astray so that they cannot find a way. 49. And they say, `What ! when we shall have become bones and broken particles, shall we be really raised up again as a new creation ?' |
