16:35
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا عَبَدْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍ نَّحْنُ وَلَآ ءَابَآؤُنَا وَلَا حَرَّمْنَا مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ فَهَلْ عَلَى ٱلرُّسُلِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Translation
The worshippers of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of messengers but to preach the Clear Message?
A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain
Those who worshipped others alongside God say, ‘If God had willed, we would not have worshipped anything but Him, nor would our fathers. We would not have declared anything forbidden without His sanction.’ Those before them said the same. Are the messengers obliged to do anything other than deliver [their message] clearly?
M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved
And the idolaters say: Had Allah willed, we had not worshipped aught beside Him, we and our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught without (command from) Him. Even so did those before them. Are the messengers charged with aught save plain conveyance (of the message)?
M. Pickthallpublic-domain
And those who associate others with Allāh say, "If Allāh had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?

Allah'a eş koşanlar: "Allah dileseydi O'ndan başka hiçbir şeye ne biz ve ne de babalarımız tapardı. O'nun buyruğu olmaksızın hiçbir şeyi haram kılmazdık" dediler. Kendilerinden öncekiler de böyle yapmıştı. Peygamberlere apaçık tebliğden başka ne vazife düşer?

Allah'a ortak koşanlar dediler ki: "Allah dileseydi, ne biz, ne atalarımız O'ndan başka hiçbir şeye tapmazdık ve O'nun emri dışında hiçbir şeyi haram kılmazdık" Kendilerinden öncekiler de böyle yaptılar. Buna karşı peygamberlerin vazifesi, ancak açık seçik bir tebliğden, ibarettir.

Ortak koşanlar şöyle demişlerdi: “Allah dileseydi biz de babalarımız da O’nun peşi sıra başka şeylere tapmazdık. O’nun peşi sıra (O’na rağmen) hiçbir şeyi de haram kılmazdık.” Onlardan öncekiler de böyle yapmışlardı. Elçilere apaçık tebliğden başka ne düşer ki!

وقال المشركون: لو شاء الله أن نعبده وحده ما عبدنا أحدًا غيره، لا نحن ولا آباؤنا مِن قبلنا، ولا حَرَّمَنا شيئًا لم يحرمه، بمثل هذا الاحتجاج الباطل احتج الكفار السابقون، وهم كاذبون؛ فإن الله أمرهم ونهاهم ومكَّنهم من القيام بما كلَّفهم به، وجعل لهم قوة ومشيئة تصدر عنها أفعالهم، فاحتجاجهم بالقضاء والقدر من أبطل الباطل من بعد إنذار الرسل لهم، فليس على الرسل المنذِرين لهم إلا التبليغ الواضح لما كُلِّفوا به.

That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal.
