So leave Me, ˹O Muhammad˺, with ˹the matter of˺ whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them ˹to punishment˺ from where they do not know.  

فَذَرْنِي وَمَنْ يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ  

And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.  

وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ  

Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?  

أَمْ تَسْأَلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِنْ مَغْرَمٍ مُثْقَلُونَ  

Or have they ˹knowledge of˺ the unseen, so they write ˹it˺ down?  

أَمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ  

Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, ˹O Muhammad˺, and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.  

فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ  

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.  

لَوْلَا أَنْ تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ  

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.  

فَاجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ  

And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."  

وَإِنْ يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ  

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.  

وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ
