بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ ( 27 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 27
Rather, we have been deprived."
قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ لَوْلَا تُسَبِّحُونَ ( 28 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 28
The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [Allah]?' "

عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَا أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ ( 32 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 32
Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."
كَذَٰلِكَ الْعَذَابُ ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ( 33 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 33

أَفَنَجْعَلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ كَالْمُجْرِمِينَ ( 35 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 35
Then will We treat the Muslims like the criminals?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ ( 36 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 36
What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ ( 37 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 37
Or do you have a scripture in which you learn
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ ( 38 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 38
That indeed for you is whatever you choose?
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ ( 39 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 39
Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُم بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ ( 40 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 40
Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ إِن كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ ( 41 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 41
Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.
يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ( 42 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 42
The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able,
خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ ۖ وَقَدْ كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَ ( 43 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 43
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.
فَذَرْنِي وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا الْحَدِيثِ ۖ سَنَسْتَدْرِجُهُم مِّنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ( 44 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 44
So leave Me, [O Muhammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies the Qur'an. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.
وَأُمْلِي لَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ كَيْدِي مَتِينٌ ( 45 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 45

أَمْ عِندَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ( 47 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 47
Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?
فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ ( 48 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 48
Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.
لَّوْلَا أَن تَدَارَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ ( 49 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 49
If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.
فَاجْتَبَاهُ رَبُّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ( 50 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 50
And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.
وَإِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ ( 51 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 51
And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ( 52 ) Al-Qalam ( The Pen ) - Aya 52
But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
