43:20
وَقَالُوا لَوْ شَاءَ الرَّحْمَـٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَاهُم ۗ مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَвəќōōлюю лəу шəə`əр-рōhмəəну мəə 'əбəднəəhум, мəə лəhумм-биз̃əəликə мин 'ильм, ин hум ильлəə йəхрусуун
They say, ‘Had the All-beneficent wished, we would not have worshipped them.’ They do not have any knowledge of that, and they do nothing but surmise. -
43:22
بَلْ قَالُوا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَбəль ќōōлюю иннəə вəджəднəə əəбəə`əнəə 'əлəə уммəтиу-вə`иннəə 'əлəə əəc̃əəриhим-муhтəдуун
No, they said, ‘We found our fathers following a creed, and we are indeed guided in their footsteps.’ -
43:23
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَا إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَىٰ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَвəкəз̃əəликə мəə əрсəльнəə миŋŋ-ќōбликə фии ќōрйəтимм-мин-нəз̃иирин ильлəə ќōōлə мутрōфууhəə иннəə вəджəднəə əəбəə`əнəə 'əлəə уммəтиу-вə`иннəə 'əлəə əəc̃əəриhим-муќтəдуун
So it has been that We did not send any warner to a town before you, without its affluent ones saying, ‘We found our fathers following a creed and we are indeed following in their footsteps.’ -
43:24
۞ قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا إِنَّا بِمَا أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِ كَافِرُونَќōōлə əвəлəу джи`тукумм-би`əhдəə миммəə вəджəттум 'əлэйhи əəбəə`əкум, ќōōлюю иннəə бимəə урсильтумм-биhи кəəфируун
He would say, ‘What! Even if I bring you a better guidance than what you found your fathers following?!’ They would say, ‘We indeed disbelieve in what you are sent with.’ -
43:32
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ ۚ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا ۗ وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَəhум йəќсимуунə рōhмəтə рōббик, нəhну ќōсəмнəə бэйнəhум-мə'иишəтəhум фииль-həйəəтид-дунйəə, вəрōфə'нəə бə'дōhум фəуќō бə'дын дəрōджəəтил-лийəттəхыз̃ə бə'дуhумм-бə'дōн сухриййə, вəрōhмəту рōббикə хōйрумм-миммəə йəджмə'уун
Is it they who dispense the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have dispensed among them their livelihood in the present life, and raised some of them above others in rank, so that some may take others into service, and your Lord’s mercy is better than what they amass. -
43:33
وَلَوْلَا أَن يَكُونَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِالرَّحْمَـٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَвəлəулəə əй-йəкуунəн-нəəсу уммəтəу-вəəhидəтəль-лəджə'əльнəə лимəй-йəкфуру бир-рōhмəəни либуйуутиhим суќуфəмм-миŋŋ-фиддōтиу-вəмə'əəриджə 'əлэйhəə йəз̃həруун
Were it not [for the danger] that mankind would be one community, We would have made for those who defy the All-beneficent, silver roofs for their houses and [silver] stairways by which they ascend, -
43:35
وَزُخْرُفًا ۚ وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَالْآخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَвəзухруфə, вə`иŋŋ-куллю з̃əəликə лəммəə мəтəə'уль-həйəəтид-дунйəə, вəəль`əəхырōту 'иŋŋдə рōббикə ли-ль-муттəќиин
and ornaments of gold; yet all that would be nothing but the wares of the life of this world, and the Hereafter is for the Godwary near your Lord. -
