Do their minds command them this [i.e. to tell a lie against you
(Muhammad SAW)] or are they people transgressing all the bounds? (32) Or do they say:
"He (Muhammad SAW) has forged it (this Qur'ân)?" Nay! They believe
not! (33) Let them then produce a recital like unto it (the Qur'ân) if
they are truthful. (34) Were they created by nothing? or were they themselves the
creators? (35) Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have
no firm Belief. (36) Or are with them the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the
tyrants with the authority to do as they like? (37) Or have they a
stairway (to heaven), by means of which they listen (to the talks of the
angels)? Then let their listener produce some manifest proof. (38) Or has He (Allâh)
only daughters and you have sons? (39) Or is it that you (O Muhammad SAW) ask a wage
from them (for your preaching of Islâmic Monotheism) so that they are burdened
with a load of debt? (40) Or that the Ghaib (unseen) is with them, and they write
it down? (41) Or do they intend a plot (against you O Muhammad SAW)? But those
who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allâh — Islâmic Monotheism) are themselves
plotted against! (42) Or have they an ilâh (a god) other than Allâh? Glorified is
Allâh from all that they ascribe as partners (to Him)[] (43) And if they were to
see a piece of the heaven falling down, they would say: "Clouds gathered
in heaps!" (44) So leave them alone till they meet their Day, in which they will
sink into a fainting (with horror). (45) The Day when their plotting shall not avail
them at all nor will they be helped (i.e. they will receive their torment in
Hell). (46) And verily, for those who do wrong, there is another punishment
(i.e. the torment in this world and in their graves)[] before this, but most of
them know not. [Tafsir At-Tabarî] (47) So wait patiently (O Muhammad SAW) for the
Decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes[] , and glorify the
Praises of your Lord when you get up from sleep. (48) And in the
night-time, also glorify His Praises — and at the setting of the stars.[] (49)
