so that you bring to them
surely He (would) have gathered them
If their spurning is hard on thy mind, yet if thou wert able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the skies and bring them a sign,- (what good?). If it were Allah's will, He could gather them together unto true guidance: so be not thou amongst those who are swayed by ignorance (and impatience)!
Relate to them the story of Noah. Behold! he said to his people: "O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of Allah,- yet I put my trust in Allah. Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious. Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite.
"(Such) as dispute about the Signs of Allah, without any authority that hath reached them, grievous and odious (is such conduct) in the sight of Allah and of the Believers. Thus doth Allah, seal up every heart - of arrogant and obstinate Transgressors."
The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him).
Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not.
如果他们的拒绝使你难堪,那末,如果你能找著一条入地的隧道,或一架登天的梯子,从而昭示他们一种迹象,(你就这样做吧。)假若真主意欲,他必将他们集合在正道上,故你绝不要做无知的人。
你当对他们宣读努哈的故事,当时他对他的宗族说:“我的宗族啊!如果我居住在你们中间,以真主的迹象教训你们,这使你们感到难堪,那末,我只信托真主,你们应当和你们的配主在一起决定你们的事情,不要让你们的事情成为暖昧的。你们对我做出判决吧,不要宽限我。
没有真凭实据,而争论真主的迹象者,据真主和信士看来,是很讨厌的。真主这样封闭一切自大的高傲者的心。
他已为你们制定正教,就是他所命令努哈的、他所启示你的、他命令易卜拉欣、穆萨和尔撒的宗教。你们应当谨守正教,不要为正教而分门别户。以物配主的人们,以为你所教导他们的事是难堪的。真主将他所意欲者招致于正教,将归依他者引导于真理。
你们说你们所不做的,这在真主看来,是很可恨的。
