Dr. Mustafa Khattab All praise is for Allah Who has revealed the Book to His servant,¹ allowing no crookedness in it,

Dr. Mustafa Khattab ˹making it˺ perfectly upright, to warn ˹the disbelievers˺ of a severe torment from Him; to give good news to the believers—who do good—that they will have a fine reward,

Dr. Mustafa Khattab in which they will remain forever;

Dr. Mustafa Khattab and to warn those who claim, “Allah has offspring.”¹

Dr. Mustafa Khattab They have no knowledge of this, nor did their forefathers. What a terrible claim that comes out of their mouths! They say nothing but lies.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Now, perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ will grieve yourself to death over their denial, if they ˹continue to˺ disbelieve in this message.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab We have indeed made whatever is on earth as an adornment for it, in order to test which of them is best in deeds.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab And We will certainly reduce whatever is on it to barren ground.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab Have you ˹O Prophet˺ thought that the people of the cave and the plaque¹ were ˹the only˺ wonders of Our signs?

Dr. Mustafa Khattab ˹Remember˺ when those youths took refuge in the cave, and said, “Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and guide us rightly through our ordeal.”
