إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ ١٧
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُ وَقُرْآنَهُ ١٧
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَاهُ فَاتَّبِعْ قُرْآنَهُ ١٨
But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital (as promulgated):
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُ ١٩
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ الْعَاجِلَةَ ٢٠
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
وَتَذَرُونَ الْآخِرَةَ ٢١
And leave alone the Hereafter.
