When Our evident verses are recited to them, they say, “He is nothing but a man who wishes to divert you from what your fathers used to worship.” And they say, “This is nothing but a forged lie.” And the disbelievers say about the Truth, when it came to them, “This is nothing but an explicit magic.”

We did not give them any books that they might study, nor did We send to them any warner before you.

And those before them had rejected (the prophets), while these (infidels of Makkah) have not reached even one tenth of what We gave to those (before them). So, they rejected my Messengers. Then (imagine) how was My censure!

Say, “I advise you for one thing only: that you stand up before Allah, in pairs and in singles, then reflect; (you will easily appreciate that) there is no madness in your fellow (the Holy Prophet).” He is none but a warner to you in the face of a stern torment.

Say, “If I had ever claimed any reward from you, then it is yours. My reward is with none but Allah. And He is witness over every thing.”

Say, “My Lord sends forth the Truth. He is the Best-Knower of the Unseen.”

Say, “Truth has come, and falsehood (has vanished, and it) has no power to produce or reproduce (anything).”

Say, “If I go astray, I shall go astray only to my own detriment. And if I follow the right path, it is because of what my Lord reveals to me. Surely He is All-Hearer, Ever-Near.”

And if you could only see when they will be terrified! Then there will be no escape, and they will be seized from a place near at hand.

And they will say, “We believe in Him.” And how can they grasp at it (the faith) from a place (so) far off,

while they had rejected it before, and used to make conjectures from a remote place?

And a barrier will be placed between them and that which they desire, as it will be done with the people of their kind who were before (them). They have been in a perplexing doubt.
