ٱلْكَهْف : ١٠٢

  • أَفَحَسِبَ Do then think
  • ٱلَّذِينَ those who
  • كَفَرُوٓاْ disbelieve
  • أَن that
  • يَتَّخِذُواْ they (can) take
  • عِبَادِي My servants
  • مِن besides Me
  • دُونِيٓ besides Me
  • أَوۡلِيَآءَۚ (as) protectors
  • إِنَّآ Indeed, We
  • أَعۡتَدۡنَا We have prepared
  • جَهَنَّمَ Hell
  • لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ for the disbelievers
  • نُزُلٗا (as) a lodging
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
Do the disbelievers reckon that they can take My servants, namely, My angels, [as well as] Jesus and Ezra, as patrons, as lords, beside Me? (awliyaa'a, 'as patrons', constitutes the second [direct] object of [the verb] yattakhidhoo, 'that they can take'; the second direct object of [the verb] hasiba, 'reckon', has been omitted). The meaning is: do they suppose that the mentioned 'taking [as patrons]' will not incur My wrath and that I will not punish them for this? No! Truly We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers, these [the ones mentioned above] and others, as [a place of] hospitality, in other words, it has been prepared for them just as a house is prepared for a guest.
