And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."

Wa qaalut takhazar Rahmaanu waladaa

وقالوا ٱتخذ ٱلرحمـن ولدا

You have done an atrocious thing.

Laqad ji’tum shai’an iddaa

لقد جئتم شيـا إدا

The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation

Takaadus samaawaatu yatafattarna minhu wa tanshaq qul ardu wa takhirrul jibaalu haddaa

تكاد ٱلسمـوت يتفطرن منه وتنشق ٱلأرض وتخر ٱلجبال هدا

That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.

An da’aw lir Rahmaani waladaa

أن دعوا للرحمـن ولدا

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

Wa maa yambaghee lir Rahmaani ai yattakhiza waladaa

وما ينبغى للرحمـن أن يتخذ ولدا

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

In kullu man fis samaawaati wal ardi illaaa aatir Rahmaani ‘abdaa

إن كل من فى ٱلسمـوت وٱلأرض إلا ءاتى ٱلرحمـن عبدا

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

Laqad ahsaahum wa addahum ‘addaa

لقد أحصىهم وعدهم عدا

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone.

Wa kulluhum aateehi Yawmal Qiyaamati fardaa

وكلهم ءاتيه يوم ٱلقيـمة فردا

Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.

Innal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati sa yaj’alu lahumur Rahmaanu wuddaa

إن ٱلذين ءامنوا وعملوا ٱلصـلحـت سيجعل لهم ٱلرحمـن ودا

So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.

Fa innamaa yassarnaahu bilisaanika litubashshira bihil muttaqeena wa tunzira bihee qawmal luddaa

فإنما يسرنـه بلسانك لتبشر به ٱلمتقين وتنذر بهۦ قوما لدا

And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?

Wa kam ahlaknaa qabla hum min qarnin hal tuhissu minhum min ahadin aw tasma’u lahum rikzaa (section 6)

وكم أهلكنا قبلهم من قرن هل تحس منهم من أحد أو تسمع لهم ركزا
