او تقولوا لو انا انزل علينا الكتاب لكنا اهدى منهم فقد جاءكم بينة من ربكم وهدى ورحمة فمن اظلم ممن كذب بايات الله وصدف عنها سنجزي الذين يصدفون عن اياتنا سوء العذاب بما كانوا يصدفون

Or lest ye should say: "If the Book had only Been sent down to us, We should have followed Its guidance better than they." Now then hath come Unto you a Clear (Sign) From your Lord,—and a guide And a mercy: then who Could do more wrong Than one who rejecteth God's Signs, and turneth Away therefrom? In good time Shall We requite those Who turn away from Our Signs, With a dreadful penalty, For their turning away.
