So, O Prophet, go on admonishing (them). By the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer nor mad.22 Do they say, "He is a poet for whom we are awaiting the adverse turn of fortune?"23 them, "Yes, wait; I too shall wait with you."24 Do their minds command them to do so, or, are they a people who have transgressed all limits?25 Do they say, "This man himself has forged this Qur'an" The fact is that they do not want to believe.26 Let them then produce a discourse like it, if they are true in what they say.27 Have they been created without a Creator? Or, are they their own creators? Or, have they created the heavens and the earth? The fact is that they lack faith.28 Do they possess the treasures of your Lord? Or, is it they who control them?29 Do they have a ladder by climbing which they overhear what goes on in heavens? Then let any of them who has overheard bring a clear proof. Is Allah to have daughters and you sons?30 Do you ask them for any rewards that they are weighed down under a load of debt?31 Do they have the knowledge of the unseen realities whereby they may be writing down?32 Do they intend to devise a plot?33 (If so,) the plot shall recoil upon the disbelieves themselves.34 Do they have a god other than Allah? Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him.35 Even if they saw fragments of the sky falling down, they would say, "this is a mass of clouds advancing."36 Therefore, O Prophet, leave them to themselves till they meet that Day of theirs wherein they shall be struck down, the Day when neither shall their own plotting avail them anything nor shall anyone else come to their rescue. And even before that there awaits the wrongdoers another torment, but most of them do not know.37 Endure patiently, O Prophet, until your Lord's judgment comes to pass38 sight.39 Glorify your Lord with His praise when you rise up,40 and glorify Him in the night too,41 and also at the retreat of the stars.42
