Sura 23: AL-MUMENOON (THE BELIEVERS) - Juz' 18 - Translation Pickthall

بَلْ قَالُوا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُونَ ﴿۸۱﴾
Nay, but they say the like of that which said the men of old; (81)
قَالُوا أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ﴿۸۲﴾
They say: When we are dead and have become (mere) dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised again? (82)
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ ﴿۸۳﴾
We were already promised this, we and our forefathers. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old. (83)
قُلْ لِمَنِ الْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۸۴﴾
Say: Unto Whom (belongeth) the earth and whosoever is therein, if ye have knowledge? (84)
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ ﴿۸۵﴾
They will say: Unto Allah. Say: Will ye not then remember? (85)
قُلْ مَنْ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ ﴿۸۶﴾
Say: Who is Lord of the seven heavens, and Lord of the Tremendous Throne? (86)
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلَا تَتَّقُونَ ﴿۸۷﴾
They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: Will ye not then keep duty (unto Him)? (87)
قُلْ مَنْ بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ يُجِيرُ وَلَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿۸۸﴾
Say: In Whose hand is the dominion over all things and He protecteth, while against Him there is no protection, if ye have knowledge? (88)
سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ فَأَنَّى تُسْحَرُونَ ﴿۸۹﴾
They will say: Unto Allah (all that belongeth). Say: How then are ye bewitched? (89)
بَلْ أَتَيْنَاهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ ﴿۹۰﴾
Nay, but We have brought them the Truth, and lo! they are liars. (90)
