When We substitute a verse in place of another verse—and Allah knows best what He reveals—they say, "You are an impostor." But most of them do not know.
Say, "The Holy Spirit has brought it down from your Lord, truthfully, in order to stabilize those who believe, and as guidance and good news for those who submit."
We are well aware that they say, "It is a human being who is teaching him." But the tongue of him they allude to is foreign, while this is a clear Arabic tongue.
Those who do not believe in Allah's revelations—Allah will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.
It is those who do not believe in Allah's revelations who fabricate falsehood. These are the liars.
Whoever renounces faith in Allah after having believed—except for someone who is compelled, while his heart rests securely in faith—but whoever willingly opens up his heart to disbelief—upon them falls wrath from Allah, and for them is a tremendous torment.
That is because they have preferred the worldly life to the Hereafter, and because Allah does not guide the people who refuse.
It is they whom Allah has sealed their hearts, and their hearing, and their sight. It is they who are the heedless.
There is no doubt that in the Hereafter they will be the losers.
But then your Lord—for those who emigrated after being persecuted, then struggled and persevered—your Lord thereafter is Forgiving and Merciful.
