وَقُلْ لِّعِبَادِی یَقُولُوا الَّتِی هِیَ أَحْسَنُ إِنَّ الشَّیْطَانَ یَنزَغُ بَیْنَهُمْ إِنَّ الشَّیْطَانَ کَانَ لِلْإِنسَانِ عَدُوّاً مُبِین(( 53 ))

53- AND TELL MY SERVANTS, TO SAY THAT WHICH IS THE BEST; THAT SATAN SOWS DISCORD AMONG THEM. VERILY SATAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MANIFEST ENEMY FOR MAN.

رَّبُّکُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِکُمْ إِنْ یَشَأْ یَرْحَمْکُمْ أَوْ إِنْ یَشَأْ یُعَذِّبْکُمْ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاکَ عَلَیْهِمْ وَکِیل(( 54 ))

54- YOUR LORD KNOWS YOU THE BEST. HE WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU IF HE WILL, OR HE SHALL PUNISH YOU IF HE WILL; AND WE HAVE NOT SENT YOU ON THEM AS A DISPOSER. (OF THEIR AFFAIRS)

وَرَبُّکَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِی السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالاَْرْضِ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِیِّینَ عَلَى بَعْض وَآتَیْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُور(( 55 ))

55- AND YOUR LORD KNOWS BEST, THOSE WHO ARE IN THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.

      AND VERILY WE HAVE EXCELLED SOME OF THE APOSTLES OVER SOME OTHER; AND WE GAVE TO DAVID THE PSALMS.

قُلْ ادْعُوا الَّذِینَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِّنْ دُونِهِ فَلاَ یَمْلِکُونَ کَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنکُمْ وَلاَ تَحْوِیل(( 56 ))

56- SAY;ِ ``CALL THOSE WHOM YOU THINK (ARE GODS) BESIDES HIM, (AND YOU WILL SEE THEM) THAT HAVE NO POWER TO REMOVE AN AFFLICTION FROM YOU; NOR (CAN THEY) MAKE A CHANGE.''

أُوْلَئِکَ الَّذِینَ یَدْعُونَ یَبْتَغُونَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ الْوَسِیلَةَ أَیُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ وَیَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَهُ وَیَخَافُونَ عَذَابَهُ إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّکَ کَانَ مَحْذُور(( 57 ))

57- THEY ARE THOSE WHO THEMSELVES CALL TO FIND SOME MEANS (TO APPROACH THEM) TO THEIR LORD; WHOEVER OF THEM BE NEARER. AND THEY HOPE (TO HAVE) HIS MERCY, AND FEAR HIS PUNISHMENT. VERILY THE PUNISHMENT OF YOUR LORD IS TO BE AVOIDED.
