Translation

EN

If indeed thou ask them who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law), they will certainly reply, "Allah". How are they then deluded away (from the truth)?

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

If you ask the disbelievers who created the heavens and earth and who harnessed the sun and moon, they are sure to say, ‘God.’ Then why do they turn away from Him?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

And if thou wert to ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, and constrained the sun and the moon (to their appointed work)? they would say: Allah. How then are they turned away?

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

If you asked them, "Who created the heavens and earth and subjected the sun and the moon?" they would surely say, "Allāh." Then how are they deluded?

And olsun ki onlara: "Gökleri ve yeri yaratan, güneşi, ayı buyruğu altında tutan kimdir?" diye sorarsan, şüphesiz "Allah'tır" derler. Öyleyse niçin döndürülüyorlar?

Andolsun ki onlara, "Gökleri ve yeri yaratan, güneşi ve ayı buyruğu altında tutan kimdir?" diye sorsan "Allah" derler. O halde nasıl (haktan) çevrilip döndürülüyorlar?

Onlara “Gökleri ve yeri yaratan, Güneş'i ve Ay'ı emri altında tutan kimdir?” diye sorsan, elbette “Allah.” derler. (Allah’a kulluktan) nasıl da döndürülüyorlar!

ولئن سألت -أيها الرسول- المشركين: من الذي خلق السموات والأرض على هذا النظام البديع، وذلَّل الشمس والقمر؟ ليقولُنَّ: خلقهن الله وحده، فكيف يصرفون عن الإيمان بالله خالق كل شيء ومدبره، ويعبدون معه غيره؟ فاعجب من إفكهم وكذبهم!!
