    Am taamuruhum ahlaamuhum bihaazaaa am hum qawmun taaghoon

    Or do their ˹intelligent˺ minds prompt them to this ˹paradox˺? Or are they ˹just˺ a transgressing people?

33. 52:33

    أَمْ يَقُولُونَ تَقَوَّلَهُۥ ۚ بَل لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

    Am yaqooloona taqawwalah; bal laa yu'minoon

    Or do they say, “He made this ˹Quran˺ up!”? In fact, they have no faith.

34. 52:34

    فَلْيَأْتُوا۟ بِحَدِيثٍ مِّثْلِهِۦٓ إِن كَانُوا۟ صَـٰدِقِينَ

    Falyaatoo bihadeesim misliheee in kaanoo saadiqeen

    Let them then produce something like it, if what they say is true!

35. 52:35

    أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ

    Am khuliqoo min ghairi shai'in am humul khaaliqoon

    Or were they created by nothing, or are they ˹their own˺ creators?

36. 52:36

    أَمْ خَلَقُوا۟ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۚ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ

    Am khalaqus samaawaati wal ard; bal laa yooqinoon

    Or did they create the heavens and the earth? In fact, they have no firm belief ˹in Allah˺.

37. 52:37

    أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْمُصَۣيْطِرُونَ

    Am'indahum khazaaa'inu rabbika am humul musaitiroon

    Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord, or are they in control ˹of everything˺?

38. 52:38

    أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ ۖ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ

    Am lahum sullamuny yastami'oona feehi falyaati mustami'uhum bisultaanim mubeen

    Or do they have a stairway, by which they eavesdrop ˹on the heavens˺? Then let those who do so bring a compelling proof.

39. 52:39

    أَمْ لَهُ ٱلْبَنَـٰتُ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ

    Am lahul banaatu wa lakumul banoon

    Or does He have daughters ˹as you claim˺, while you ˹prefer to˺ have sons?

40. 52:40

    أَمْ تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُم مِّن مَّغْرَمٍ مُّثْقَلُونَ

    Am tas'aluhum ajran fahum mim maghramim musqaloon

    Or are you ˹O Prophet˺ asking them for a reward ˹for the message˺ so that they are overburdened by debt?

41. 52:41

    أَمْ عِندَهُمُ ٱلْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ

    Am 'indahumul ghaibu fahum yaktuboon

    Or do they have access to ˹the Record in˺ the unseen, so they copy it ˹for all to see˺?

42. 52:42

    أَمْ يُرِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ۖ فَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْمَكِيدُونَ

    Am yureedoona kaidan fallazeena kafaroo humul makeedoon

    Or do they intend to scheme ˹against the Prophet˺? Then it is the disbelievers who will fall victim to ˹their˺ schemes.

43. 52:43

    أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ غَيْرُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

    Am lahum ilaahun ghairul laa; subhaanal laahi 'ammaa yushrikoon

    Or do they have a god other than Allah? Glorified is Allah far above what they associate ˹with Him˺!

44. 52:44

    وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كِسْفًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ سَاقِطًا يَقُولُوا۟ سَحَابٌ مَّرْكُومٌ

    Wa iny yaraw kisfam minas samaaa'i saaqitany yaqooloo sahaabum markoom

    If they were to see a ˹deadly˺ piece of the sky fall down ˹upon them˺, still they would say, “˹This is just˺ a pile of clouds.”

45. 52:45

    فَذَرْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يُلَـٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ

    Fazarhum hatta yulaaqoo yawmahumul lazee feehi yus'aqoon

    So leave them until they face their Day in which they will be struck dead—

46. 52:46

    يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

    Yawma laa yughnee 'anhum kaidumhum shai'anw wa laa hum yunsaroon

    the Day their scheming will be of no benefit to them whatsoever, nor will they be helped.

47. 52:47

    وَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ عَذَابًا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

    Wa inna lillazeena zalamoo 'azaaban doona zalika wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon

    Also, the wrongdoers will certainly have another torment before that ˹Day˺, but most of them do not know.

48. 52:48

    وَٱصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا ۖ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

    Wasbir lihukmi rabbika fa innaka bi-a'yuninaa wa sabbih bihamdi rabbika heena taqoom

    So be patient with your Lord’s decree, for you are truly under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes. And glorify the praises of your Lord when you rise.

49. 52:49

    وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَـٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ

    Wa minal laili fasabbihhu wa idbaaran nujoom

    And glorify Him during part of the night and at the fading of the stars.
