This is (part) of that wisdom wherewith thy Lord hath inspired thee (O Muhammad). And set not up with Allah any other god, lest thou be cast into hell, reproved, abandoned

Hath your Lord then distinguished you (O men of Makka) by giving you sons, and hath chosen for Himself females from among the angels? Lo! verily ye speak an awful word

We verily have displayed (Our warnings) in this Qur'an that they may take heed, but it increaseth them in naught save aversion

Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): If there were other gods along with Him, as they say, then had they sought a way against the Lord of the Throne

Glorified is He, and High Exalted above what they say

The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein praise Him, and there is not a thing but hymneth His praise; but ye understand not their praise. Lo! He is ever Clement, Forgiving

And when thou recitest the Qur'an we place between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden barrier

And We place upon their hearts veils lest they should understand it, and in their ears a deafness; and when thou makest mention of thy Lord alone in the Qur'an, they turn their backs in aversion

We are Best Aware of what they wish to hear when they give ear to thee and when they take secret counsel, when the evil-doers say: Ye follow but a man bewitched

See what similitudes they coin for thee, and thus are all astray, and cannot find a road

And they say: When we are bones and fragments, shall we forsooth, be raised up as a new creation
