بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيّٖ مُّبِينٖ

in a clear Arabic tongue.


وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِي زُبُرِ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

This was foretold in the scriptures of earlier religions.


أَوَلَمۡ يَكُن لَّهُمۡ ءَايَةً أَن يَعۡلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَـٰٓؤُاْ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ

Is it not proof enough for them that the learned men of the Children of Israel have recognized it?


وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضِ ٱلۡأَعۡجَمِينَ

If We had sent it down to someone who was not an Arab,


فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

and he had recited it to them, they still would not have believed in it.


كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

So We make it pass straight through the hearts of the guilty:


لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ

they will not believe in it until they see the grievous torment,


فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

which will suddenly hit them when they are not expecting it,
