أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَامُهُم بِهَٰذَا ۚ أَمْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ

Am taamuruhum ahlaamuhum bihaazaaa am hum qawmun taaghoon

Or do their minds command them to [say] this, or are they a transgressing people?

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُ ۚ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Am yaqooloona taqawwalah; bal laa yu'minoon

Or do they say, "He has made it up"? Rather, they do not believe.

فَلْيَأْتُوا بِحَدِيثٍ مِّثْلِهِ إِن كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ

Falyaatoo bihadeesim misliheee in kaanoo saadiqeen

Then let them produce a statement like it, if they should be truthful.

أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ

Am khuliqoo min ghairi shai'in am humul khaaliqoon

Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?

أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ

Am khalaqus samaawaati wal ard; bal laa yooqinoon

Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Rather, they are not certain.

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَائِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ الْمُصَيْطِرُونَ

Am'indahum khazaaa'inu rabbika am humul musaitiroon

Or have they the depositories [containing the provision] of your Lord? Or are they the controllers [of them]?

أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

Am lahum sullamuny yastami'oona feehi falyaati mustami'uhum bisultaanim mubeen

Or have they a stairway [into the heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear authority.

أَمْ لَهُ الْبَنَاتُ وَلَكُمُ الْبَنُونَ

Am lahul banaatu wa lakumul banoon

Or has He daughters while you have sons?

أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ

Am tas'aluhum ajran fahum mim maghramim musqaloon

Or do you, [O Muhammad], ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ

Am 'indahumul ghaibu fahum yaktuboon

Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?

أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ۖ فَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هُمُ الْمَكِيدُونَ

Am yureedoona kaidan fallazeena kafaroo humul makeedoon

Or do they intend a plan? But those who disbelieve - they are the object of a plan.

أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَٰهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ ۚ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Am lahum ilaahun ghairul laa; subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yushrikoon

Or have they a deity other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him.

وَإِن يَرَوْا كِسْفًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ سَاقِطًا يَقُولُوا سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُومٌ

Wa iny yaraw kisfam minas samaaa'i saaqitany yaqooloo sahaabum markoom

And if they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up."

فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ

Fazarhum hatta yulaaqoo yawmahumul lazee feehi yus'aqoon

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

Yawma laa yughnee 'anhum kaidumhum shai'anw wa laa hum yunsaroon

The Day their plan will not avail them at all, nor will they be helped.

وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا عَذَابًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Wa inna lillazeena zalamoo 'azaaban doona zalika wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon

And indeed, for those who have wronged is a punishment before that, but most of them do not know.

وَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا ۖ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Wasbir lihukmi rabbika fa innaka bi-a'yuninaa wa sabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoom

And be patient, [O Muhammad], for the decision of your Lord, for indeed, you are in Our eyes. And exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord when you arise.

وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَارَ النُّجُومِ

Wa minal laili fasabbihhu wa idbaaran nujoom

And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars.
