Footnotes
1 - To oversee the affairs of their dominion.

If this is what they claim: Then let them ascend by the means, [of ascension] that lead to the sky and bring [down] some revelation (wahy) and then assign it exclusively to whomever they wish (am in both verses represents the [rhetorical] hamza of denial).
