وَإِذَا And when رَءَاكَ they see you ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieve إِن not يَتَّخِذُونَكَ they take you إِلَّا except هُزُوًا (in) ridicule أَهَـٰذَا Is this ٱلَّذِى the one who يَذْكُرُ mentions ءَالِهَتَكُمْ your gods وَهُم And they بِذِكْرِ at (the) mention ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ (of) the Most Gracious هُمْ [they] كَـٰفِرُونَ (are) disbelievers ٣٦

And when those who disbelieve see you, [O Muḥammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one who mentions [i.e., insults] your gods?" And they are, at the mention of the Most Merciful, disbelievers.
