This is (part) of Al-Hikmah (wisdom, good manners and high
character) which your Lord has revealed to you (O Muhammad SAW ). And set not
up with Allâh any other ilâh (god) lest you should be thrown into Hell,
blameworthy and rejected, (from Allâh's Mercy). (39) Has then your Lord (O
pagans of Makkah) preferred for you sons, and taken for Himself from among the
angels daughters? Verily! You indeed utter an awful saying. (40) And surely, We have
explained [Our Promises, Warnings and (set forth many) examples] in this Qur'ân
that they (the disbelievers) may take heed, but it increases them in naught
save aversion. (41) Say (O Muhammad SAW to these polytheists, pagans): "If
there had been other âlihah (gods) along with Him as they assert, then they
would certainly have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne (seeking His
Pleasures and to be near to Him). (42) Glorified and High is He! From High above
(the great falsehood) that they say! (i.e.forged statements that there are
other gods along with Allâh, but He is Allâh, the One, the Self-Sufficient
Master, whom all creatures need. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there
is none comparable or coequal unto Him). (43) The seven heavens and the earth and
all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His
Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever
Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. (44) And when you (Muhammad SAW) recite the
Qur'ân, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, an
invisible veil[] (or screen their hearts, so they hear or understand it not). (45) And We have put
coverings over their hearts lest, they should understand it (the Qur'ân), and
in their ears deafness. And when you make mention of your Lord Alone [Lâ ilâha
ill-allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) Islâmic Monotheism
(A.S.)] in the Qur'ân, they turn on their backs, fleeing in extreme disliken. (46) We know best of what
they listen to, when they listen to you. And when they take secret counsel,
then the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) say: "You follow none but a
bewitched man." (47) See what examples they have put forward for you. So they
have gone astray, and never can they find a way. (48) And they say:
"When we are bones and fragments (destroyed), should we really be
resurrected (to be) a new creation?" (49)
