وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحُونَ
and We, surely We, are those who proclaim Allah’s purity.”
وَإِن كَانُواْ لَيَقُولُونَ
And they (the pagans) used to say,
لَوۡ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكۡرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
“Had there been a scripture with us like that of the former people,
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
we would have certainly been Allah’s chosen servants.”
فَكَفَرُواْ بِهِۦۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ
Then (once the divine book came to them,) they disbelieved in it. So, very soon they will come to know.
وَلَقَدۡ سَبَقَتۡ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And Our Word has already come to pass in favor of Our servants, the messengers
إِنَّهُمۡ لَهُمُ ٱلۡمَنصُورُونَ
(that) they are the ones who will be supported,
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ
and verily it is Our army (of chosen servants) that prevails.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ حِينٖ
So, withdraw your attention from them for some time.
