غَافِر : ٥٠

  • قَالُوٓاْ They (will) say
  • أَوَلَمۡ Did there not
  • تَكُ Did there not
  • تَأۡتِيكُمۡ come to you
  • رُسُلُكُم your Messengers
  • بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِۖ with clear proofs
  • قَالُواْ They (will) say
  • بَلَىٰۚ Yes
  • قَالُواْ They (will) say
  • فَٱدۡعُواْۗ Then call
  • وَمَا but not
  • دُعَٰٓؤُاْ (is) the call
  • ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ (of) the disbelievers
  • إِلَّا except
  • فِي in
  • ضَلَٰلٍ error
They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error [i.e., futility]."
They, that is, the keepers, will say, mockingly: 'Did not your messengers bring you clear signs?', manifest miracles? They will say, 'Yes indeed' - in other words, they disbelieved them. They will say, 'Then supplicate [God]!', yourselves, for we do not intercede for disbelievers. God, exalted be He, says: but the supplications of the disbelievers can only be misguided, void.
