قُل Say لَّآ Not أَمْلِكُ I have power لِنَفْسِى for myself نَفْعًۭا (to) benefit وَلَا and no ضَرًّا (power to) harm إِلَّا except مَا what شَآءَ wills ٱللَّهُ ۚ Allah وَلَوْ And if كُنتُ I would أَعْلَمُ know ٱلْغَيْبَ (of) the unseen لَٱسْتَكْثَرْتُ surely I could have multiplied مِنَ of ٱلْخَيْرِ the good وَمَا and not مَسَّنِىَ (could) have touched me ٱلسُّوٓءُ ۚ the evil إِنْ Not أَنَا۠ (am) I إِلَّا except نَذِيرٌۭ a warner وَبَشِيرٌۭ and a bearer of good tidings لِّقَوْمٍۢ to a people يُؤْمِنُونَ who believe ١٨٨

Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allāh has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."

۞ هُوَ He ٱلَّذِى (is) the One Who خَلَقَكُم created you مِّن from نَّفْسٍۢ a soul وَٰحِدَةٍۢ single وَجَعَلَ and made مِنْهَا from it زَوْجَهَا its mate لِيَسْكُنَ that he might live إِلَيْهَا ۖ with her فَلَمَّا And when تَغَشَّىٰهَا he covers her حَمَلَتْ she carries حَمْلًا a burden خَفِيفًۭا light فَمَرَّتْ and continues بِهِۦ ۖ with it فَلَمَّآ But when أَثْقَلَت she grows heavy دَّعَوَا they both invoke ٱللَّهَ Allah رَبَّهُمَا their Lord لَئِنْ If ءَاتَيْتَنَا You give us صَـٰلِحًۭا a righteous (child) لَّنَكُونَنَّ surely we will be مِنَ among ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ the thankful ١٨٩

It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her, she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."

فَلَمَّآ But when ءَاتَىٰهُمَا He gives them صَـٰلِحًۭا a good, (child) جَعَلَا they make لَهُۥ for Him شُرَكَآءَ partners فِيمَآ in what ءَاتَىٰهُمَا ۚ He has given them فَتَعَـٰلَى But exalted ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah عَمَّا above what يُشْرِكُونَ they associate (with Him) ١٩٠

But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allāh above what they associate with Him.

وَلَا And not يَسْتَطِيعُونَ they are able لَهُمْ to (give) them نَصْرًۭا any help وَلَآ and not أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves يَنصُرُونَ can they help ١٩٢

And they [i.e., the false deities] are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves.

وَإِن And if تَدْعُوهُمْ you call them إِلَى to ٱلْهُدَىٰ the guidance لَا not يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ ۚ will they follow you سَوَآءٌ (It is) same عَلَيْكُمْ for you أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ whether you call them أَمْ or أَنتُمْ you صَـٰمِتُونَ remain silent ١٩٣

And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.

أَلَهُمْ Are for them أَرْجُلٌۭ feet يَمْشُونَ (to) walk بِهَآ ۖ with [it] أَمْ or لَهُمْ for them أَيْدٍۢ hands يَبْطِشُونَ (to) hold بِهَآ ۖ with [it] أَمْ or لَهُمْ for them أَعْيُنٌۭ eyes يُبْصِرُونَ (to) see بِهَآ ۖ with [it] أَمْ or لَهُمْ for them ءَاذَانٌۭ ears يَسْمَعُونَ (to) hear بِهَا ۗ with [it] قُلِ Say ٱدْعُوا۟ Call شُرَكَآءَكُمْ your partners ثُمَّ then كِيدُونِ scheme against me فَلَا and (do) not تُنظِرُونِ give me respite ١٩٥

Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.
