وَمَا يَأْتِيْهِمْ مِّنْ رَّسُوْلٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا بِهٖ يَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ( الحجر: ١١ )
And no messenger would come to them except that they ridiculed him.
كَذٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهٗ فِيْ قُلُوْبِ الْمُجْرِمِيْنَۙ ( الحجر: ١٢ )
Thus do We insert it [i.e., denial] into the hearts of the criminals.
لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ ( الحجر: ١٣ )
They will not believe in it, while there has already occurred the precedent of the former peoples.
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاۤءِ فَظَلُّوْا فِيْهِ يَعْرُجُوْنَۙ ( الحجر: ١٤ )
And [even] if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they continued therein to ascend,
لَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ اَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُوْرُوْنَ ࣖ ( الحجر: ١٥ )
They would say, "Our eyes have only been dazzled. Rather, we are a people affected by magic."
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِى السَّمَاۤءِ بُرُوْجًا وَّزَيَّنّٰهَا لِلنّٰظِرِيْنَۙ ( الحجر: ١٦ )
And We have placed within the heaven great stars and have beautified it for the observers.
وَحَفِظْنٰهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطٰنٍ رَّجِيْمٍۙ ( الحجر: ١٧ )
And We have protected it from every devil expelled [from the mercy of Allah]
اِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَاَتْبَعَهٗ شِهَابٌ مُّبِيْنٌ ( الحجر: ١٨ )
Except one who steals a hearing and is pursued by a clear burning flame.
وَالْاَرْضَ مَدَدْنٰهَا وَاَلْقَيْنَا فِيْهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْزُوْنٍ ( الحجر: ١٩ )
And the earth – We have spread it and cast therein firmly set mountains and caused to grow therein [something] of every well-balanced thing.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَنْ لَّسْتُمْ لَهٗ بِرَازِقِيْنَ ( الحجر: ٢٠ )
And We have made for you therein means of living and [for] those for whom you are not providers.
