Each word opens its meaning.

﴿١١٨﴾

Without diacritics

وقال الذين لا يعلمون لولا يكلمنا الله او تاتينا اية كذلك قال الذين من قبلهم مثل قولهم تشابهت قلوبهم قد بينا الايات لقوم يوقنون

Say those without knowledge: "Why speaketh not God Unto us? Or why cometh not Unto us a Sign?" So said the people before them Words of similar import. Their hearts are alike. We have indeed made clear The Signs unto any people Who hold firmly To Faith (in their hearts).
