واذا لم تاتهم باية قالوا لولا اجتبيتها قل انما اتبع ما يوحى الي من ربي هذا بصائر من ربكم وهدى ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون

If thou bring them not A revelation, they say: "Why hast thou not Got it together?" Say: "I but follow What is revealed to me From my Lord: This is (nothing but) Lights from your Lord, And Guidance, and Mercy, For any who have Faith."
