So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship, ^[161]

You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him ^[162]

Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire. ^[163]

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position. ^[164]

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer]. ^[165]

And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah." ^[166]

And indeed, the disbelievers used to say, ^[167]

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples, ^[168]

We would have been the chosen servants of Allah." ^[169]

But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know. ^[170]

And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers, ^[171]

[That] indeed, they would be those given victory ^[172]

And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome. ^[173]

So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time. ^[174]

And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see. ^[175]

Then for Our punishment are they impatient? ^[176]

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned. ^[177]

And leave them for a time. ^[178]

And see, for they are going to see. ^[179]

Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe. ^[180]
