سَيَقُولُ
الَّذِينَ
أَشْرَكُوا
لَوْ
شَاءَ
اللَّهُ
مَا
أَشْرَكْنَا
وَلَا
آبَاؤُنَا
وَلَا
حَرَّمْنَا
مِن
شَيْءٍ
كَذَلِكَ
كَذَّبَ
الَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِهِمْ
حَتَّى
ذَاقُوا
بَأْسَنَا
قُلْ
هَلْ
عِندَكُم
مِّنْ
عِلْمٍ
فَتُخْرِجُوهُ
لَنَا
إِن
تَتَّبِعُونَ
إِلَّا
الظَّنَّ
وَإِنْ
أَنتُمْ
إِلَّا
تَخْرُصُونَ

The pagans will say, "Had God wanted, we would not have worshipped idols, nor would our fathers, nor would we have made anything unlawful." Others before them had also spoken such lies until they experienced the severity of Our wrath. (Muhammad), ask them, "Do you possess any knowledge? If so, tell us about it. You follow only conjectures and preach falsehood."
