Ayah: 36

وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي يَذۡكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ

36. And when they see you, those who disbelieve (in the Oneness of God), they take you not except for mockery, 'saying': "Is this the one who mentions (badly)of your gods?" while in the mention of the Most Compassionate, they are themselves disbelievers.

Ayah: 37

خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلٖۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ

37. Man is created of haste. I will show to you My signs, so do not ask Me to hasten them on.

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

لَوۡ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ

39. If only those who disbelieved (in the Truth) but knew (of the time) when they will not be able to ward off the Fire from their faces nor from their backs, nor will they be helped.

Ayah: 40

بَلۡ تَأۡتِيهِم بَغۡتَةٗ فَتَبۡهَتُهُمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ رَدَّهَا وَلَا هُمۡ يُنظَرُونَ

40. Rather, it will come on them all of a sudden, so it will confound them, then they will not be able to repel it, nor they will be given respite.

Ayah: 41

وَلَقَدِ ٱسۡتُهۡزِئَ بِرُسُلٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ فَحَاقَ بِٱلَّذِينَ سَخِرُواْ مِنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

41. Indeed (many) messengers before you were ridiculed, but those who ridiculed them were overwhelmed by the very thing they used to ridicule at it.

Ayah: 42

قُلۡ مَن يَكۡلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

42. Say, (Muhammad): "Who guards you by night and by day from (the torment of) the Most Gracious?" But, from the Remembrance of their Lord (Allāh alone) they are turning away.

Ayah: 43

أَمۡ لَهُمۡ ءَالِهَةٞ تَمۡنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَاۚ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ نَصۡرَ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَلَا هُم مِّنَّا يُصۡحَبُونَ

43. Or, do they have gods that will prevent them from Us? They are unable (even) to help themselves, nor can they be protected from Us.

Ayah: 44

بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَنَّا نَأۡتِي ٱلۡأَرۡضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنۡ أَطۡرَافِهَآۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ

44. Rather, We let these (pagans) and their fathers enjoy (the good things of this life) until the period grew long for them. Do they not see that We come to the land (in their control and gradually) reduce it from its outlying borders? Then, is it they who will overcome?
