واذا تتلى عليهم اياتنا بينات قالوا ما هذا الا رجل يريد ان يصدكم عما كان يعبد اباؤكم وقالوا ما هذا الا افك مفترى وقال الذين كفروا للحق لما جاءهم ان هذا الا سحر مبين

When Our Clear Signs Are rehearsed to them, They say, "This is only A man who wishes To hinder you from the (worship) Which your fathers practised." And they say, "This is Only a falsehood invented!" And the Unbelievers say Of the Truth when it comes To them, "This is nothing But evident magic!"
