وَإِذَا
لَمْ
تَأْتِهِم
بِآيَةٍ
قَالُوا
لَوْلَا
اجْتَبَيْتَهَا
قُلْ
إِنَّمَا
أَتَّبِعُ
مَا
يُوحَى
إِلَيَّ
مِن
رَّبِّي
هَذَا
بَصَائِرُ
مِن
رَّبِّكُمْ
وَهُدًى
وَرَحْمَةٌ
لِّقَوْمٍ
يُؤْمِنُونَ

When you do not bring them a sign, they say, ‘Why do you not improvise one?’ Say, ‘I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord; these are insights from your Lord, and a guidance and mercy for a people who have faith.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
If thou bring them not a revelation, they say: "Why hast thou not got it together?" Say: "I but follow what is revealed to me from my Lord: this is (nothing but) lights from your Lord, and Guidance, and mercy, for any who have faith."
