to your heart [O Prophet] so that you may be one of the warners,

Bilisanin AAarabiyyin mubeenin

in a clear Arabic language.

Wainnahu lafee zuburi alawwaleena

And it was indeed [mentioned] in the scriptures of the former peoples.

Awalam yakun lahum ayatan an yaAAlamahu AAulamao banee israeela

Was it not a proof for them that the learned men of the Children of Israel recognized it [to be true][24]?

Walaw nazzalnahu AAala baAAdi alaAAjameena

If We had sent it down to any of the non-Arabs,

Faqaraahu AAalayhim ma kanoo bihi mumineena

and he had recited it to them[25]; still, they would not have believed in it.

Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa laha munthiroona

We never destroyed any town without sending them warners,

Thikra wama kunna thalimeena

to admonish them, for We are never unjust.

Wama tanazzalat bihi alshshayateenu

This [Qur’an] is not sent down by the devils[26],

Wama yanbaghee lahum wama yastateeAAoona

it is not for them to do this, nor is it within their capability,

Innahum AAani alssamAAi lamaAAzooloona

for they are strictly barred from overhearing it[27].

Fala tadAAu maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara fatakoona mina almuAAaththabeena

So do not call upon any other god besides Allah, lest you become of those who will be punished.

Waanthir AAasheerataka alaqrabeena

And warn [starting with] the nearest kinsfolk,

Waikhfid janahaka limani ittabaAAaka mina almumineena

Yulqoona alssamAAa waaktharuhum kathiboona

who whisper hearsay in the ears, but most of them are liars.

WaalshshuAAarao yattabiAAuhumu alghawoona

As for poets, they are followed by the deviants.

Alam tara annahum fee kulli wadin yaheemoona

Do you not see that they wander aimlessly in every valley[28],

Waannahum yaqooloona ma la yafAAaloona

and that they say what they do not do?

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati wathakaroo Allaha katheeran waintasaroo min baAAdi ma thulimoo wasayaAAlamu allatheena thalamoo ayya munqalabin yanqaliboona

Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, remember Allah much and defend themselves[29] after being wronged. The wrongdoers will come to know what end awaits them.
