بَلْ قَالُوْا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْاَوَّلُوْنَ۝۸۱

And talk as did the people of old.

قَالُوْۤا ءَاِذَا مِتْنَا وَ كُنَّا تُرَابًا وَّ عِظَامًا ءَاِنَّا لَمَبْعُوْثُوْنَ۝۸۲

They say: "When we are dead and turned to dust and bones, shall we be raised to life again?

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَ اٰبَآؤُنَا هٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسَاطِیْرُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ۝۸۳

We and our fathers were promised this before; it is nothing but ancient lore!"

قُلْ لِّمَنِ الْاَرْضُ وَ مَنْ فِیْهَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۸۴

Say: "To whom does the earth and whosoever is upon it then belong, if you know?"

سَیَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ ؕ قُلْ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ۝۸۵

They will say: "To God." Say: "Then why do you not bethink yourselves?"

قُلْ مَنْ رَّبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ السَّبْعِ وَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِیْمِ۝۸۶

Say: "Then who is the Lord of the seven skies? And who is the Lord of the mighty Throne?"

سَیَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ ؕ قُلْ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۸۷

They will say: "God." Say: "Then why do you not obey and fear Him?"

قُلْ مَنْۢ بِیَدِهٖ مَلَكُوْتُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّ هُوَ یُجِیْرُ وَ لَا یُجَارُ عَلَیْهِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۸۸

Say: "Whose is the sovereignty over all things, who protects, and against whom there is no protection? {Answer) if you have knowledge."

سَیَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ ؕ قُلْ فَاَنّٰی تُسْحَرُوْنَ۝۸۹

They will say: "God´s." Say: "Then why are you so deluded?"

بَلْ اَتَیْنٰهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَ اِنَّهُمْ لَكٰذِبُوْنَ۝۹۰

In fact We have sent the truth to them, but they are liars.
