ALIF LAM RA. These are the verses of the Book and the perspicuous oration.

1

رُبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوْ كَانُوْا مُسْلِـمِيْنَ۝۲
Rubama yawaddu allatheena kafaroo law kanoo muslimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

The unbelievers would haply like to wish that they had submitted (and become Muslim).

2

ذَرْہُمْ يَاْكُلُوْا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوْا وَيُلْہِہِمُ الْاَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۳

Leave them to feast and revel, beguiled by hope; they will come to know soon.

وَمَاۗ اَہْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَۃٍ اِلَّا وَلَہَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُوْمٌ۝۴
Wama ahlakna min qaryatin illa walaha kitabun maAAloomun

Not one habitation have We destroyed but at the time determined for it.

No people can hasten or delay the term already fixed for them.

5

وَقَالُوْا يٰۗاَيُّھَا الَّذِيْ نُزِّلَ عَلَيْہِ الذِّكْرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ۝۶ۭ
Waqaloo ya ayyuha allathee nuzzila AAalayhi alththikru innaka lamajnoonun

And yet they say: "You, to whom this Exposition has been sent are surely possessed of the Devil.

6

لَوْ مَا تَاْتِيْنَا بِالْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃِ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ۝۷
Law ma tateena bialmalaikati in kunta mina alssadiqeena

English

If you are a man of truth, why can't you bring the angels to us?"

7

مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلٰۗىِٕكَۃَ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوْۗا اِذًا مُّنْظَرِيْنَ۝۸
Ma nunazzilu almalaikata illa bialhaqqi wama kanoo ithan munthareena

But then We never send the angels down save with the purpose (of enforcing their doom), after which they will not be given more respite.
