Waqala allatheena kafaroo lan nu/mina bihatha alqur-ani wala biallathee bayna yadayhi walaw tara ithi alththalimoona mawqoofoona AAinda rabbihim yarjiAAu baAAduhum ila baAAdin alqawla yaqoolu allatheena istudAAifoo lillatheena istakbaroo lawla antum lakunna mu/mineena\n31. The Unbelievers say:\n \"We shall neither believe\n In this scripture nor in (any)\n That (came) before it.\"\n Couldst thou but see when\n The wrong-doers will be made\n To stand before their Lord,\n Throwing back the word (of blame)\nOn one another! Those who\n Had been despised will say\n To the arrogant ones:\n \"Had it not been for you,\n We should certainly\n Have been believers!\"\n32. Qala allatheena istakbaroo lillatheena istudAAifoo anahnu sadadnakum AAani alhuda baAAda ith jaakum bal kuntum mujrimeena\n32. The arrogant ones will say\n To those who had been despised:\n \"Was it we who kept you\n Back from Guidance after\n It reached you? Nay, rather,\n It was ye who transgressed.\n33. Waqala allatheena istudAAifoo lillatheena istakbaroo bal makru allayli waalnnahari ith ta/muroonana an nakfura biAllahi wanajAAala lahu andadan waasarroo alnnadamata lamma raawoo alAAathaba wajaAAalna al-aghlala fee aAAnaqi allatheena kafaroo hal yujzawna illa ma kanoo yaAAmaloona\n33. Those who had been despised\n Will say to the arrogant ones:\n \"Nay! it was a plot\n (Of yours) by day and by night:\n Behold! ye (constantly) ordered us\n To be ungrateful to God\n And to attribute equals to Him!\n They will declare (their) repentance\n When they see the Penalty:\n We shall put yokes\nOn the necks of the Unbelievers:\n It would only be a requital\n For their (ill) Deeds.\n34. Wama arsalna fee qaryatin min natheerin illa qala mutrafooha inna bima orsiltum bihi kafiroona\n34. Never did We send\n A Warner to a population,\n But the wealthy ones among them\n Said: \"We believe not\n In the (Message) with which\n Ye have been sent.\"\n35. Waqaloo nahnu aktharu amwalan waawladan wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena\n35. They said: \"We have more\n In wealth and in sons\n And we cannot be punished.\"\n36. Qul inna rabbee yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao wayaqdiru walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona\n36. Say: \"Verily my Lord enlarges\n And restricts the Provision\n To whom He pleases, but\n Most men understand not.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXXIV.: Sab\u0101, or the City of Sab\u0101: Section 4 (31-36)","type":"page"}
