Sura 6 Al-An'am (The Cattle), ayah 148

  1. سَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشْرَكْنَا وَلَا آبَاؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ ذَاقُوا بَأْسَنَا ۗ قُلْ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنْ عِلْمٍ فَتُخْرِجُوهُ لَنَا ۖ إِنْ تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا الظَّنَّ وَإِنْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَّا تَخْرُصُونَ

    Translation by words

    سَيَقُولُ
    Will say
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    أَشْرَكُوا۟
    associate partners (with Allah),
    لَوْ
    "If
    شَآءَ
    Had willed
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah,
    مَآ
    not
    أَشْرَكْنَا
    we (would) have associated partners (with Allah)
    وَلَآ
    and not
    ءَابَآؤُنَا
    our forefathers
    وَلَا
    and not
    حَرَّمْنَا
    we (would) have forbidden
    مِن
    [of]
    شَىْءٍ
    anything."
    كَذَٰلِكَ
    Likewise
    كَذَّبَ
    denied
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    مِن
    (were from)
    قَبْلِهِمْ
    before them
    حَتَّىٰ
    until
    ذَاقُوا۟
    they tasted
    بَأْسَنَا
    Our wrath.
    قُلْ
    Say,
    هَلْ
    "Is
    عِندَكُم
    with you
    مِّنْ
    [of]
    عِلْمٍ
    any knowledge
    فَتُخْرِجُوهُ
    then produce it
    لَنَآ
    for us?
    إِن
    Not
    تَتَّبِعُونَ
    you follow
    إِلَّا
    except
    ٱلظَّنَّ
    the assumption,
    وَإِنْ
    and not
    أَنتُمْ
    you (do)
    إِلَّا
    but
    تَخْرُصُونَ
    guess."

    Those who associated with Allah will say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have associated (anything) and neither would our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything." Likewise did those before deny until they tasted Our punishment. Say, "Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow not except assumption, and you are not but falsifying."
