سَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشْرَكْنَا وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُوا بَأْسَنَا ۗ قُلْ هَلْ عِندَكُم مِّنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْرِجُوهُ لَنَا ۖ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا تَخْرُصُونَ ١٤٨

Those who took partners (in worship) with Allah will say: "If Allah had willed, we would not have taken partners (in worship) with Him, nor would our fathers, and we would not have forbidden anything (against His Will)." Likewise belied those who were before them, (they argued falsely with Allah's Messengers), till they tasted of Our Wrath. Say: "Have you any knowledge (proof) that you can produce before us? Verily, you follow nothing but guess and you do nothing but lie."

Those who took partners (in worship) with Allah will say:

لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشْرَكْنَا

وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا

nor would our fathers,

وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ

كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ

Likewise belied those who were before them,

حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُوا بَأْسَنَا ۗ

قُلْ هَلْ عِندَكُم مِّنْ عِلْمٍ

Say: "Have you any knowledge (proof) that you can produce before us?

فَتُخْرِجُوهُ لَنَا ۖ

Verily, you follow nothing but guess

إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ

and you do nothing but lie."

قُلْ فَلِلَّهِ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَالِغَةُ ۖ فَلَوْ شَاءَ لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ١٤٩

Say: "With Allah is the perfect proof and argument, (i.e. the Oneness of Allah, the sending of His Messengers and His Holy Books, etc. to mankind), had He so willed, He would indeed have guided you all."

قُلْ

Say:

فَلِلَّهِ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَالِغَةُ ۖ

قُلْ هَلُمَّ شُهَدَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هَٰذَا ۖ فَإِن شَهِدُوا فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ وَهُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ ١٥٠

Say: "Bring forward your witnesses, who can testify that Allah has forbidden this. Then if they testify, testify not you (O Muhammad SAW) with them. And you should not follow the vain desires of such as treat Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) as falsehoods, and such as believe not in the Hereafter, and they hold others as equal (in worship) with their Lord."

قُلْ هَلُمَّ شُهَدَاءَكُمُ

Say: 'Bring forward your witnesses,

الَّذِينَ يَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ هَٰذَا ۖ

who can testify that Allah has forbidden this.'

فَإِن شَهِدُوا

Then if they testify,

فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ ۚ

testify not you (O Muhammad SAW) with them.

وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَ

And you should not follow the vain desires of

الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا

such as treat Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) as falsehoods,

وَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ

and such as believe not in the Hereafter,

وَهُم بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ

and they hold others as equal (in worship) with their Lord.
