وَ اِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا قَالُوْا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ هٰذَاۤ ۙ اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسَاطِیْرُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ۝۳۱

When Our messages were read out to them, they said: "We have heard. We could certainly compose (writings) like them if we choose. They are but only tales of long ago."

وَ اِذْ قَالُوا اللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ هٰذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَاَمْطِرْ عَلَیْنَا حِجَارَةً مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ۝۳۲

They had also said: "If this be the truth from you, O God, then rain down on us stones from the skies, or inflict a grievous punishment upon us."

وَ مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ اَنْتَ فِیْهِمْ ؕ وَ مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ یَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ۝۳۳

But God would not choose to punish them while you are in their midst, nor afflict them when they are seeking forgiveness.

وَ مَا لَهُمْ اَلَّا یُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ هُمْ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَ مَا كَانُوْۤا اَوْلِیَآءَهٗ ؕ اِنْ اَوْلِیَآؤُهٗۤ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقُوْنَ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۳۴

But what is there so special they have that God should not punish them when they obstruct people from the Holy Mosque, though they are not its (appointed) guardians? Its guardians could be only those who are pious and devout. But most of them do not know.

وَ مَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِنْدَ الْبَیْتِ اِلَّا مُكَآءً وَّ تَصْدِیَةً ؕ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ۝۳۵

Their worship in the House of God has been no more than whistling and clapping. So they have to taste the punishment for disbelief.

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ لِیَصُدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ فَسَیُنْفِقُوْنَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ یُغْلَبُوْنَ ؕ۬ وَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِلٰی جَهَنَّمَ یُحْشَرُوْنَۙ۝۳۶

Those who disbelieve spend their possessions on turning men away from God. They will go on spending and rue it in the end, and will be subdued. But those who remain disbelievers shall be gathered into Hell

لِیَمِیْزَ اللّٰهُ الْخَبِیْثَ مِنَ الطَّیِّبِ وَ یَجْعَلَ الْخَبِیْثَ بَعْضَهٗ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ فَیَرْكُمَهٗ جَمِیْعًا فَیَجْعَلَهٗ فِیْ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ۠۝۳۷

That God may separate the bad from the good, and link the wicked together and cast them into Hell. These are verily the people who will lose.

قُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ یَّنْتَهُوْا یُغْفَرْ لَهُمْ مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۚ وَ اِنْ یَّعُوْدُوْا فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّتُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ۝۳۸

You tell the unbelievers in case they desist whatever has happened will be forgiven them. If they persist, they should remember the fate of those who have gone before them.

وَ قَاتِلُوْهُمْ حَتّٰی لَا تَكُوْنَ فِتْنَةٌ وَّ یَكُوْنَ الدِّیْنُ كُلُّهٗ لِلّٰهِ ۚ فَاِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ۝۳۹

So, fight them till all opposition ends, and obedience is wholly God´s. If they desist then verily God sees all they do.

وَ اِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ؕ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰی وَ نِعْمَ النَّصِیْرُ۝۴۰

But if they are obstinate, know that God is your helper and protector: How excellent a helper, and how excellent a protector is He!
