وَمَا And not قَدَرُوا۟ they appraised ٱللَّهَ Allah حَقَّ (with) true قَدْرِهِۦٓ [of his] appraisal إِذْ when قَالُوا۟ they said مَآ Not أَنزَلَ revealed ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah عَلَىٰ on بَشَرٍۢ a human being مِّن [of] شَىْءٍۢ ۗ anything قُلْ Say مَنْ Who أَنزَلَ revealed ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book ٱلَّذِى which جَآءَ brought بِهِۦ [it] مُوسَىٰ Musa نُورًۭا (as) a light وَهُدًۭى and guidance لِّلنَّاسِ ۖ for the people تَجْعَلُونَهُۥ You make it قَرَاطِيسَ (into) parchments تُبْدُونَهَا you disclose (some of) it وَتُخْفُونَ and you conceal كَثِيرًۭا ۖ much (of it) وَعُلِّمْتُم And you were taught مَّا what لَمْ not تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ knew أَنتُمْ you وَلَآ and not ءَابَآؤُكُمْ ۖ your forefathers قُلِ Say ٱللَّهُ ۖ Allah (revealed it) ثُمَّ Then ذَرْهُمْ leave them فِى in خَوْضِهِمْ their discourse يَلْعَبُونَ playing ٩١

And they did not appraise Allāh with true appraisal when they said, "Allāh did not reveal to a human being anything." Say, "Who revealed the Scripture that Moses brought as light and guidance to the people? You [Jews] make it into pages, disclosing [some of] it and concealing much. And you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers." Say, "Allāh [revealed it]." Then leave them in their [empty] discourse, amusing themselves.

And this is a Book which We have sent down, blessed and confirming what was before it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities [i.e., Makkah] and those around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and they are maintaining their prayers.

وَمَنْ And who أَظْلَمُ (is) more unjust مِمَّنِ than (one) who ٱفْتَرَىٰ invents عَلَى about ٱللَّهِ Allah كَذِبًا a lie أَوْ or قَالَ said أُوحِىَ It has been inspired إِلَىَّ to me وَلَمْ while not يُوحَ it was inspired إِلَيْهِ to him شَىْءٌۭ anything وَمَن and (one) who قَالَ said سَأُنزِلُ I will reveal مِثْلَ like مَآ what أَنزَلَ (has been) revealed ٱللَّهُ ۗ (by) Allah وَلَوْ And if تَرَىٰٓ you (could) see إِذِ when ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ the wrongdoers فِى (are) in غَمَرَٰتِ agonies ٱلْمَوْتِ (of) [the] death وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ while the Angels بَاسِطُوٓا۟ (are) stretching out أَيْدِيهِمْ their hands (saying) أَخْرِجُوٓا۟ Discharge أَنفُسَكُمُ ۖ your souls ٱلْيَوْمَ Today تُجْزَوْنَ you will be recompensed عَذَابَ (with) punishment ٱلْهُونِ humiliating بِمَا because كُنتُمْ you used to تَقُولُونَ say عَلَى against ٱللَّهِ Allah غَيْرَ other than ٱلْحَقِّ the truth وَكُنتُمْ and you were عَنْ towards ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ His Verses تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ being arrogant ٩٣

And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allāh or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal [something] like what Allāh revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against Allāh other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."

[It will be said to them], "And you have certainly come to Us alone [i.e., individually] as We created you the first time, and you have left whatever We bestowed upon you behind you. And We do not see with you your 'intercessors' which you claimed that they were among you associates [of Allāh]. It has [all] been severed between you, and lost from you is what you used to claim."

And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers.

Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
