[52:32] Is it their dreams that dictate their behavior, or are they naturally wicked?

[52:38] Do they climb a ladder that enables them to listen? Let their listeners show their proof.

[52:39] Does He have daughters, while you have sons?
أَمْamلَهُlahuٱلْبَنَـٰتُl-banātuوَلَكُمُwalakumuٱلْبَنُونَl-banūna ﴿٣٩﴾
[52:40] Are you asking them for any wage, and they are burdened thereby?

[52:41] Do they know the future, and have it recorded?
أَمْamعِندَهُمُʿindahumuٱلْغَيْبُl-ghaybuفَهُمْfahumيَكْتُبُونَyaktubūna ﴿٤١﴾
[52:42] Are they plotting and scheming? The disbelievers' schemes backfire against them.

[52:43] Do they have another god besides GOD? GOD be glorified, far above having partners.

[52:44] When they see masses falling from the sky, they will say, "Piled clouds!"

[52:45] Disregard them until they meet the day in which they are struck.

[52:46] On that day, their schemes will not protect them, nor will they be helped.

[52:47] Those who transgress suffer retribution here, but most of them do not know.
