Ayat No. 35

وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ اَشْرَكُوْا لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ شَیْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَ لَاۤ اٰبَآؤُنَا وَ لَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-كَذٰلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْۚ-فَهَلْ عَلَى الرُّسُلِ اِلَّا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِیْنُ(۳۵)

Translation

And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?

Ayat No. 36

وَ لَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِیْ كُلِّ اُمَّةٍ رَّسُوْلًا اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوْتَۚ-فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ هَدَى اللّٰهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَیْهِ الضَّلٰلَةُؕ-فَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُكَذِّبِیْنَ(۳۶)

Translation

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut." And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.

Ayat No. 37

اِنْ تَحْرِصْ عَلٰى هُدٰىهُمْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِیْ مَنْ یُّضِلُّ وَ مَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ نّٰصِرِیْنَ(۳۷)

Translation

[Even] if you should strive for their guidance, [O Muhammad], indeed, Allah does not guide those He sends astray, and they will have no helpers.

Ayat No. 38

وَ اَقْسَمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ جَهْدَ اَیْمَانِهِمْۙ-لَا یَبْعَثُ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّمُوْتُؕ-بَلٰى وَعْدًا عَلَیْهِ حَقًّا وَّ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَۙ(۳۸)

Translation

And they swear by Allah their strongest oaths [that] Allah will not resurrect one who dies. But yes - [it is] a true promise [binding] upon Him, but most of the people do not know.

Ayat No. 39

لِیُبَیِّنَ لَهُمُ الَّذِیْ یَخْتَلِفُوْنَ فِیْهِ وَ لِیَعْلَمَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ كَانُوْا كٰذِبِیْنَ(۳۹)

Translation

[It is] so He will make clear to them [the truth of] that wherein they differ and so those who have disbelieved may know that they were liars.

Ayat No. 40

اِنَّمَا قَوْلُنَا لِشَیْءٍ اِذَاۤ اَرَدْنٰهُ اَنْ نَّقُوْلَ لَهٗ كُنْ فَیَكُوْنُ۠(۴۰)

Translation

Indeed, Our word to a thing when We intend it is but that We say to it, "Be," and it is.
