The Majestic Quran

they are unaware. 203 They will say: “Can we be given some more time?” 204 But are they not currently trying to hasten Our punishment? 205 Suppose We granted them years of enjoyment, 206 then when what they had been promised befell them, 207 would what they had enjoyed benefit them? 208 We never destroyed a city which hadn’t received warners 209 as a reminder. We are never unjust. T Q 210 It is not demons who brought down this Quran ; 211 nor would it be fitting for them, nor are they capable of doing so . 212 They are barred from even hearing it . 213 Therefore, don’t call upon any other god alongside God so you end up among the tormented. I I 214 Warn your nearest relatives, 215 and take whoever follows you from among the believers under your wing. 216 Then, if they disobey you, say: “I am innocent of what you do,” 217 and put your trust in the Almighty, the Caring, 218 Who sees you while you stand in prayer 219 and when you change position to be amongst those prostrating. 220 He is the Hearer, the Knower. S 221 Shall I tell you who will be visited by demons? 222 They visit every sinful slanderer, 223 who listens readily, and who is a liar. 224 Likewise the poets, who are deceived, follow them too . 225 Do you not see them wandering about in every valley, 226 boastfully saying things they don’t do? 227 Except the believing poets who are righteous, constantly remember God, and defend themselves against oppression. The oppressors will soon know the fate they will be returned to.
