[They will be told], ‘This is all because when God alone was invoked you rejected this, yet when others were associated with Him you believed [in them].’ Judgement belongs to God the Most High, the Most Great.

(It is said unto them): This is (your plight) because, when Allah only was invoked, ye disbelieved, but when some partner was ascribed to Him ye were believing. But the command belongeth only to Allah, the Sublime, the Majestic.

ذلكم العذاب الذي لكم- أيها الكافرون- بسبب أنكم كنتم إذا دُعيتم لتوحيد الله وإخلاص العمل له كفرتم به، وإن يُجْعل لله شريك تُصَدِّقوا به وتتبعوه. فالله سبحانه وتعالى هو الحاكم في خلقه، العادل الذي لا يجور، يهدي من يشاء ويضل من يشاء، ويرحم مَن يشاء ويعذب مَن يشاء، لا إله إلا هو الذي له علو الذات والقَدْر والقهر، وله الكبرياء والعظمة.
