ٱلْأَنْبِيَاء : ٤٢

  • قُلۡ Say
  • مَن Who
  • يَكۡلَؤُكُم (can) protect you
  • بِٱلَّيۡلِ in the night
  • وَٱلنَّهَارِ and the day
  • مِنَ from
  • ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ the Most Gracious
  • بَلۡ Yet
  • هُمۡ they
  • عَن from
  • ذِكۡرِ (the) remembrance
  • رَبِّهِم (of) their Lord
  • مُّعۡرِضُونَ turn away
Say, "Who can protect you at night or by day from the Most Merciful?" But they are, from the remembrance of their Lord, turning away.
Say, to them: 'Who can guard you, preserve you, by night and day from the Compassionate One?', from His chastisement, if it should befall you? In other words, no one can do such a thing. Those being addressed [here] do not fear God's chastisement because they deny [the truth of] it. Nay, but of the Remembrance of their Lord, that is, Al-Qur'an, they are disregardful, failing to reflect on it.
