185 They said: Thou art only a deluded person, |
186 And thou art naught but a mortal like ourselves, and we deem thee to be a liar. |
187 So cause a portion of the heaven to fall on us, if thou art truthful. |
188 He said: My Lord knows best what you do. |
189 But they rejected him, so the chastisement of the day of Covering overtook them. Surely it was the chastisement of a grievous day! |
190 Surely there is a sign in this; yet most of them believe not. |
191 And surely thy Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. |
192 And surely this is a revelation from the Lord of the worlds. |
193 The Faithful Spirit has brought it, |
194 On thy heart that thou mayest be a warner, |
195 In plain Arabic language. |
196 And surely the same is in the Scriptures of the ancients. |
197 Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Children of Israel know it? |
198 And if We had revealed it to any of the foreigners, |
199 And he had read it to them, they would not have believed in it. |
200 Thus do We cause it to enter into the hearts of the guilty. |
201 They will not believe in it till they see the painful chastisement: |
202 So it will come to them suddenly, while they perceive not; |
203 Then they will say: Shall we be respited? |
204 Do they still seek to hasten on Our chastisement? |
205 Seest thou, if We let them enjoy themselves for years, |
206 Then that which they are promised comes to them — |
207 That which they were made to enjoy will not avail them? |
208 And We destroyed no town but it had (its) warners — |
209 To remind. And We are never unjust. |
210 And the devils have not brought it. |
211 And it behoves them not, nor have they the power to do (it). |
