Surah Az-Zukhruf

قُلْإِنكَانَلِلرَّحْمَٰنِوَلَدٌۭفَأَنَا۠أَوَّلُٱلْعَٰبِدِينَ

Say [O Prophet]: “If the Most Gracious [truly] had a son, I would be the first to worship him!”

سُبْحَٰنَرَبِّٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِرَبِّٱلْعَرْشِعَمَّايَصِفُونَ

Utterly remote, in His glory, is the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth - the Sustainer, in almigh­tiness enthroned from all that they may attribute to Him by way of definition!

فَذَرْهُمْيَخُوضُوا۟وَيَلْعَبُوا۟حَتَّىٰيُلَٰقُوا۟يَوْمَهُمُٱلَّذِىيُوعَدُونَ

But leave them to indulge in idle talk and play [with words] until they face that [Judgment] Day of theirs which they have been promised:

وَهُوَٱلَّذِىفِىٱلسَّمَآءِإِلَٰهٌۭوَفِىٱلْأَرْضِإِلَٰهٌۭوَهُوَٱلْحَكِيمُٱلْعَلِيمُ

for [then they will come to know that] it is He [alone] who is God in heaven and God on earth, and [that] He alone is truly wise, all-knowing.

وَتَبَارَكَٱلَّذِىلَهُۥمُلْكُٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَٱلْأَرْضِوَمَابَيْنَهُمَاوَعِندَهُۥعِلْمُٱلسَّاعَةِوَإِلَيْهِتُرْجَعُونَ

And hallowed be He unto whom the dominion over the heavens and the earth and all that is between them belongs, and with whom the knowledge of the Last Hour rests, and unto whom you all shall be brought back!

وَلَايَمْلِكُٱلَّذِينَيَدْعُونَمِندُونِهِٱلشَّفَٰعَةَإِلَّامَنشَهِدَبِٱلْحَقِّوَهُمْيَعْلَمُونَ

And those [beings] whom some invoke beside God have it not in their power to intercede [on Judgment Day] for any but such as have [in their lifetime] borne witness to the truth, and have been aware [that God is one and unique].

وَلَئِنسَأَلْتَهُممَّنْخَلَقَهُمْلَيَقُولُنَّٱللَّهُفَأَنَّىٰيُؤْفَكُونَ

Now if thou ask those [who worship any being other than God] as to who it is that has created them, they are sure to answer, “God.” How perverted, then, are their minds!

وَقِيلِهِۦيَٰرَبِّإِنَّهَٰٓؤُلَآءِقَوْمٌۭلَّايُؤْمِنُونَ

[But God has full knowledge of the true be­liever] and of his [despairing] cry: “O my Sustainer! Verily, these are people who will not believe!”

فَٱصْفَحْعَنْهُمْوَقُلْسَلَٰمٌۭفَسَوْفَيَعْلَمُونَ

Yet bear thou with them, and say, “Peace [be upon you]!” - for in time they will come to know [the truth].
