بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْآنٍ مُبِينٍ

15:2It may be that those who disbelieve wish ardently that they were Muslims.

15:3Let them eat and enjoy life, and let (false) hope beguile them. They will come to know!

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

15:4And We destroyed no township but there was a known decree for it.

وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَعْلُومٌ

15:5No nation can outstrip its term nor can they lag behind.

15:6And they say: O thou unto whom the Reminder is revealed, lo! thou art indeed a madman!

وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ

15:7Why bringest thou not angels unto us, if thou art of the truthful?

لَوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
