Or do they have associate deities who have appointed for them a religion, which Allah has not permitted? And were it not for a Word that had already been decided, the judgement would have been passed between them here itself; and indeed for the unjust is a painful punishment.
آیا خدایان باطل مشرکان بر آنها شرع و احکامی که خدا اجازه نفرموده جعل کرده‌اند؟ و اگر کلمه فصل (یعنی حکم تأخیر عذاب) نبود میان آنها (به هلاکت) حکم می‌شد، و ستمکاران را البته (روزی) عذاب دردناک خواهد بود.
