Verses
Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.Therefore, O Prophet, keep up your mission of admonition. By the grace of your Lord you are neither a soothsayer nor a madman.[29] Do they say: “He is but a poet! We are waiting for some misfortune to befall him.”[30] Tell them: “Wait if you will; I too shall wait with you.”[31] Do their faculties of reasoning prompt them to say this? Or is it merely that they are wicked people?[32] Do they say: “This man has invented this Qur’an himself?” Nay! They do not want to believe.[33] Let them produce a scripture like this, if what they say is true![34] Were they created without a Creator? Or were they their own creators?[35] Did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay! They will never be convinced.[36] Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or is it they who control them?[37] Do they have a stairway to heaven by which they can climb up to heaven and overhear Him? If so, let any of them who overheard Him, bring clear proof.[38] Is He to have daughters and you sons?[39] Do you ask them payment for your services, that they should fear to be overburdened by a debt?[40] Do they have the knowledge of the unseen? Can they write it down?[41] Do they intend to devise a plot against you? If so, the disbelievers themselves will be trapped in their plot.[42] Do they have a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah, far above those deities they associate with Him.[43] They are such people that, even if they will see a part of heaven falling down, they would say: “It is but a mass of clouds.”[44] So leave them alone until they encounter that Day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon with terror.[45] The Day when their designs will avail them nothing and none will help them.[46] Surely for such wrongdoers, there is another punishment besides that, even though most of them do not realize that.[47] Therefore, wait for the Judgment of your Lord with patience, We are surely watching over you. Glorify your Lord with His praises when you wake up,[48] and glorify Him in a part of the night, and also as the stars fade away.[49] 52:[29-49]
Ameen.
