Then have they not reflected over the word [i.e., the Qur’ān], or has there come to them that which had not come to their forefathers?

Or did they not know their Messenger, so they are toward him disacknowledging?

Or do they say, "In him is madness"? Rather, he brought them the truth, but most of them, to the truth, are averse.

                

Saheeh International

But if the Truth [i.e., Allāh] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message,1 but they, from their message, are turning away.

Or do you, [O Muḥammad], ask them for payment? But the reward of your Lord is best, and He is the best of providers.

     

Saheeh International

And indeed, you invite them to a straight path.

        

Saheeh International

But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.

           

Saheeh International

And even if We gave them mercy and removed what was upon them of affliction, they would persist in their transgression, wandering blindly.

        

Saheeh International

And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]

            

Saheeh International

Until when We have opened before them a door of severe punishment, immediately they will be therein in despair.
