In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

| |1* Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures;-  
| |2* He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions.  
| |3* Yet have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection.  
| |4* But the Misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.  
| |5* And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening."  
| |6* Say: "The (Qurn) was sent down by Him Who knows the secret (that is) in the heavens and the earth: verily He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."  
| |7* And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?  
| |8* "Or (why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?" The wicked say: "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched."
