43:7No messenger came to them, but they ridiculed him.

43:8We destroyed people more powerful than they, and so the example of the ancients has passed away.

43:9And if you asked them, “Who created the heavens and the earth?” They would say, “The Mighty, the Knower created them.”

43:15Yet they turn one of His servants into a part of Him. Man is clearly ungrateful.

43:19And they appoint the angels, who are servants to the Most Gracious, as females. Have they witnessed their creation? Their claim will be recorded, and they will be questioned.

43:20And they say, “Had the Most Gracious willed, we would not have worshiped them.” But they have no knowledge of that; they are merely guessing.

43:21Or have We given them a book prior to this one, to which they adhere?

43:22But they say, “We found our parents on a course, and we are guided in their footsteps.”

43:24He would say, “Even if I bring you better guidance than what you found your parents following?” They would say, “We reject what you are sent with.”

43:28And he made it an enduring word in his progeny, so that they may return.

43:30But when the truth came to them, they said, “This is sorcery, and we refuse to believe in it.”

43:31They also said, “If only this Quran was sent down to a man of importance from the two cities.”

43:32Is it they who allocate the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have allocated their livelihood in this life, and We elevated some of them in rank above others, that some of them would take others in service. But your Lord’s mercy is better than what they amass.

43:33Were it not that humanity would become a single community, We would have provided those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious with roofs of silver to their houses, and stairways by which they ascend.

43:34And doors to their houses, and furnishings on which they recline.

43:37They hinder them from the path, though they think they are guided.

43:47But when he showed them Our signs, they started laughing at them.

43:48Each sign We showed them was more marvelous than its counterpart. And We afflicted them with the plagues, so that they may repent.

43:49They said, “O sorcerer, pray to your Lord for us, according to His pledge to you, and then we will be guided.”

43:50But when We lifted the torment from them, they immediately broke their promise.

43:53Why are bracelets of gold not dropped on him, or they angels came with him in procession?”

43:54Thus he fooled his people, and they obeyed him. They were wicked people.

43:55And when they provoked Our wrath, We took retribution from them, and We drowned them all.

43:58They said, “Are our gods better, or he?” They cited him only for argument. In fact, they are a quarrelsome people.

43:66Are they only waiting for the Hour to come upon them suddenly, while they are unaware?

43:71They will be served around with trays of gold, and cups. Therein is whatever the souls desire and delights the eyes. Therein you will stay forever.

43:74As for the sinners, they will be in the torment of Hell forever.

43:75It will never be eased for them. In it, they will be devastated.

43:76We did them no injustice, but it was they who were the unjust.

43:77And they will cry, “O Malek, let your Lord finish us off.” He will say, “You are staying.”

43:79Have they contrived some scheme? We too are contriving.

43:80Or do they think that We cannot hear their secrets and their conspiracies? Yes indeed, Our messengers are by them, writing down.

43:82Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, beyond what they describe.

43:83So leave them to blunder and play, until they encounter their Day which they are promised.

43:86Those they invoke besides Him are incapable of intercession; only those who testify to the truth and have knowledge.

43:87And if you asked them, “Who created them?”, they would say, “God.” Why then do they deviate?

43:89Pardon them, and say, “Peace.” They will come to know.
