Translation of Verse 38-52

38. Now, I do swear by whatever you see,

39. and whatever you cannot see!

40. Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is the recitation of a noble Messenger.

41. It is not the prose of a poet ˹as you claim˺, ˹yet˺ you hardly have any faith.

42. Nor is it the mumbling of a fortune-teller, ˹yet˺ you are hardly mindful.

43. ˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds.

44. Had the Messenger made up something in Our Name,

45. We would have certainly seized him by his right hand,

46. then severed his aorta,

47. and none of you could have shielded him ˹from Us˺!

48. Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is a reminder to those mindful ˹of Allah˺.

49. And We certainly know that some of you will persist in denial,

50. and it will surely be a source of regret for the disbelievers.

51. And indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is the absolute truth.

52. So glorify the Name of your Lord, the Greatest.
