Wayas-aloonaka AAani alrroohi quli alrroohu min amri rabbee wama ooteetum mina alAAilmi illa qaleelan\n85. They ask thee concerning\n The Spirit (of inspiration).\n Say: \"The Spirit (cometh)\n By command of my Lord:\n Of knowledge it is only\n A little that is communicated\n To you, (O men!)\"\n86. Wala-in shi/na lanathhabanna biallathee awhayna ilayka thumma la tajidu laka bihi AAalayna wakeelan\n86. If it were Our Will,\n We could take away\n That which We have\n Sent thee by inspiration\n Then wouldst thou find\n None to plead thy affair\n In that matter as against Us,\u2014\n87. Illa rahmatan min rabbika inna fadlahu kana AAalayka kabeeran\n87. Except for Mercy from thy Lord:\n For His Bounty is\n To thee (indeed) great.\n88. Qul la-ini ijtamaAAati al-insu waaljinnu AAala an ya/too bimithli hatha alqur-ani la ya/toona bimithlihi walaw kana baAAduhum libaAAdin thaheeran\n88. Say: \"If the whole\n Of mankind and Jinns\n Were to gather together\n To produce the like\n Of this Qur-\u0101n, they\n Could not produce\n The like thereof, even if\n They backed up each other\nWith help and support.\n89. Walaqad sarrafna lilnnasi fee hatha alqur-ani min kulli mathalin faaba aktharu alnnasi illa kufooran\n89. And We have explained\n To man, in this Qur-\u0101n,\n Every kind of similitude:\n Yet the greater part of men\n Refuse (to receive it)\n Except with ingratitude!\n90. Waqaloo lan nu/mina laka hatta tafjura lana mina al-ardi yanbooAAan\n90. They say: \"We shall not\n Believe in thee, until thou\n Cause a spring to gush\n Forth for us from the earth,\n91. Aw takoona laka jannatun min nakheelin waAAinabin fatufajjira al-anhara khilalaha tafjeeran\n91. \"Or (until) thou have\n A garden of date trees\n And vines, and cause rivers\n To gush forth in their midst,\n Carrying abundant water;\n92. Aw tusqita alssamaa kama zaAAamta AAalayna kisafan aw ta/tiya biAllahi waalmala-ikati qabeelan\n92. \"Or thou cause the sky\n To fall in pieces, as thou\n Sayest (will happen), against us;\nOr thou bring God\n And the angels before (us)\n Face to face;\n93. Aw yakoona laka baytun min zukhrufin aw tarqa fee alssama-i walan nu/mina liruqiyyika hatta tunazzila AAalayna kitaban naqraohu qul subhana rabbee hal kuntu illa basharan rasoolan\n93. \"Or thou have a house\n Adorned with gold,\n Or thou mount a ladder\n Right into the skies.\n No, we shall not even believe\n In thy mounting until thou\n Send down to us a book\n That we could read.\"\n Say: \"Glory to my Lord!\n Am I aught but a man,\u2014\n An apostle?\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XVII.: Ban\u012b Isr\u0101-\u012bl, or the Children of Israel,: Section 10 (85-93)","type":"page"}
