Not

they have

about it

any

knowledge

and not

their forefathers

Grave (is)

the word

(that) comes out

of

their mouths

Not

they say

except

a lie

Then perhaps you would (be)

the one who kills

yourself

over

their footsteps

if

not

they believe

in this

[the] narration

(in) grief

Indeed, We

We have made

what

(is) on

the earth

adornment

for it

that We may test [them]

which of them

(is) best

(in) deed

And indeed, We

(will) surely make

what

(is) on it

soil

barren

Or

have you thought

that

(the) companions

(of) the cave

and the inscription

were

among

Our Signs

a wonder

When

retreated

the youths

to

the cave

and they said

Our Lord

Grant us

from

Yourself

Mercy

and facilitate

for us

[from]

our affair

(in the) right way

So We cast

over

their ears

in

the cave

years

a number

Then

We raised them up

that We make evident

which

(of) the two parties

best calculated

for what

(they had) remained

(in) time

We

narrate

to you

their story

in truth

Indeed, they (were)

youths

who believed

in their Lord

and We increased them

(in) guidance

And We made firm

[on]

their hearts

when

they stood up

and said

Our Lord

(is) the Lord

(of) the heavens

and the earth

Never

we will invoke

besides Him

besides Him

any god

Certainly

we would have said

then

an enormity

These

our people

have taken

besides Him

besides Him

gods

Why not

they come

to them

with an authority

clear

And who

(is) more wrong

than (one) who

invents

against

Allah

a lie
