ٱلْأَنْعَام : ١٥٧

  • أَوۡ Or
  • تَقُولُواْ you say
  • لَوۡ If
  • أَنَّآ [that]
  • أُنزِلَ was revealed
  • عَلَيۡنَا to us
  • ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ the Book
  • لَكُنَّآ surely we (would) have been
  • أَهۡدَىٰ better guided
  • مِنۡهُمۡۚ than them
  • فَقَدۡ So verily
  • جَآءَكُم has come to you
  • بَيِّنَةٞ clear proofs
  • مِّن from
  • رَّبِّكُمۡ your Lord
  • وَهُدٗى and a Guidance
  • وَرَحۡمَةٞۚ and a Mercy
  • فَمَنۡ Then who
  • أَظۡلَمُ (is) more unjust
  • مِمَّن than (he) who
  • كَذَّبَ denies
  • بِـَٔايَٰتِ [with] (the) Verses
  • ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah
  • وَصَدَفَ and turns away
  • عَنۡهَاۗ from them
  • سَنَجۡزِي We will recompense
  • ٱلَّذِينَ those who
  • يَصۡدِفُونَ turn away
  • عَنۡ from
  • ءَايَٰتِنَا Our Signs
  • سُوٓءَ (with) an evil
  • ٱلۡعَذَابِ punishment
  • بِمَا because
  • كَانُواْ they used to
  • يَصۡدِفُونَ turn away
Or lest you say, "If only the Scripture had been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they." So there has [now] come to you a clear evidence from your Lord and a guidance and mercy. Then who is more unjust than one who denies the verses of Allāh and turns away from them? We will recompense those who turn away from Our verses with the worst of punishment for their having turned away.
Or lest you should say, 'If the Scripture had been revealed to us, we would have surely been more rightly guided than they are', because of the excellence of our minds. Now indeed a clear proof, a [clear] statement, has come to you from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy, for him who follows it; and who, that is, none, does greater evil than he who denies God's signs and turns away from them? We shall surely requite those who turn away from Our signs with dreadful, the most severe, chastisement for their aversion.
