Read in Context

Chapter 16, Page 279, Juz 14

101. And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not. 102. Say: The holy Spirit hath delivered it from thy Lord with truth, that it may confirm (the faith of) those who believe, and as guidance and good tidings for those who have surrendered (to Allah). 103. And We know well that they say: Only a man teacheth him. The speech of him at whom they falsely hint is outlandish, and this is clear Arabic speech. 104. Lo! those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah, Allah guideth them not and theirs will be a painful doom. 105. Only they invent falsehood who believe not Allah's revelations, and (only) they are the liars. 106. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom. 107. That is because they have chosen the life of the world rather than the Hereafter, and because Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk. 108. Such are they whose hearts and ears and eyes Allah hath sealed. And such are the heedless. 109. Assuredly in the Hereafter they are the losers. 110. Then lo! thy Lord - for those who became fugitives after they had been persecuted, and then fought and were steadfast - lo! thy Lord afterward is (for them) indeed Forgiving, Merciful.

- M. Pickthall
